# Change Dependencies
Change external dependencies through primary evidence, the repository's native tooling, and a verified compatibility boundary.
Read `references/evidence.md` when compatibility, supply-chain risk, or update policy is material. If delegation is explicitly authorized, use `delegate-work` to route current compatibility research to a documentation specialist and keep implementation ownership separate.
## Establish the change
- Identify the exact package, current and target versions, reason, affected manifests and lockfiles, supported runtimes, platforms, and deployment constraints.
- For an addition, prove the existing platform or dependency set does not already provide the needed capability.
- For a replacement or removal, trace every direct consumer, generated artifact, plugin, peer dependency, and runtime integration before editing.
- Keep unrelated dependency churn out of scope.
## Inspect the baseline
- Read package-manager configuration, manifests, lockfiles, toolchain pins, workspace boundaries, and the dependency's real call sites.
- Inspect the resolved dependency graph, including relevant transitive and peer dependencies.
- Run the smallest meaningful baseline: deterministic install or restore, static checks, focused tests, build, and a representative runtime path.
- Record existing failures separately. Do not attribute them to the dependency change without evidence.
## Verify compatibility
- Prefer official package metadata, release notes,
