02 / Less searching. More context.

From a dependency line
to a decision.

The useful details stay together: what you have, what comes next, and what deserves a closer look.

Understand the version.

See whether your declared range accepts the latest stable release, then choose a patch, minor, major, or latest update.

Explore update actions

Follow the catalog.

Resolve default and named pnpm catalogs before acting. Keep shared versions connected to their workspace source.

Read the workspace guide

Recognize the risk.

OSV advisories bring security context into the manifest, with severity and affected-version information beside the dependency.

Understand security signals

Keep your workflow.

Use the editor you already know. CodeLens, diagnostics, hovers, and update actions put maintenance within reach.
