Treat an upgrade as a synchronization task, not a lockfile refresh. Derive
versions, commands, and compatibility points from the current repository.

## Discover

1. Read affected manifests and scripts, `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, setup actions,
   workflows, test configuration, and compatibility documentation.
2. Search for the dependency and every current version, range, runtime input,
   image, engine constraint, patch, and compatibility claim.
3. Record each match as a development version, tested version, peer range,
   engine minimum, advertised minimum, or intentionally different constraint.
4. When adding or moving a manifest entry, read
   [manifest-roles.md](manifest-roles.md) before selecting its role.
5. Select the package-local or coordinated branch and its validation matrix.
