Bump every third-party dependency, plugin and toolchain pin in VibeTags to its latest stable release, mirror the pins Gradle cannot inherit, verify with the real gates, and open the PR. Use when the user says "bump dependencies", "update dependencies", "dependency update", "upgrade deps", "are we on the latest versions", or before a release.

# Bump dependencies Every third-party version lives once, as a `<name.version>` property in `vibetags-parent/pom.xml`; the managed poms inherit it and `BuildVersionParityTest` fails the build if a literal creeps back in or a Gradle coordinate drifts. What that test cannot see is whether the pinned version is *current*, which is what this skill is for. ## Step 1 - Branch, then report ```bash git fetch origin && git checkout -b chore/bump-dependencies-$(date +%F) origin/main tools/bump-dependencies.sh # read-only; add --include-prereleases to see betas ``` The script prints one line per property with its Maven Central latest, then the toolchains pinned outside the parent (Gradle wrapper, Kotlin, Groovy, Scala 2.13). It exits 2 if the parent gains a `*.version` property the script has no Maven Central path for: add the path to its `PINS` table in the same change, so the report can never silently go stale. ## Step 2 - Decide - Apply stable releases only. Never an alpha, beta, milestone (`M1`), RC or `-ea`, even when Maven Central marks it `<latest>`; the report already hides them by default. - Read the release notes of anything with a major bump before applying it. Plugins that change how the build runs (compiler, surefire, enforcer, spotbugs, pmd, error-prone, nullaway) can turn a green build red for reasons unrelated to the code; that is not a reason to skip them, it is a reason to run the full gates below. - Kotlin: `examples/kotlin` uses kapt; a Kotli
