riot update
riot update is for the moment when you want dependency movement to be explicit.
What it should mean
Section titled “What it should mean”- newer compatible versions can be selected
- lockfile state can move forward intentionally
- the workspace gets a deliberate dependency refresh instead of accidental churn
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”- before a release
- during dependency hygiene work
- after adding a package and deciding to refresh the graph
- when debugging whether a problem is version-selection-related
The point is control, not constant motion.
