## Absolute Upgrade

Bring dependencies current — safely, in risk-ranked waves, with tests green after each.
Not a blind `npm update`: outdated and vulnerable deps are grouped by blast radius
(patch/minor → safe wave; major/breaking → gated, one at a time, changelog-read), applied
incrementally, and verified against the project's own test suite.

Runs the shared engine in **`references/health-engine.md`** — read it for the
DETECT → SCAN → TRIAGE → FIX → VERIFY → REPORT loop and the safety contract. This file
covers only what's specific to dependency upgrades.
