Nightly Dependency Sweep

automationDev tools

Nightly Dependency Sweep is an automation that keeps project dependencies current without manual reminders. It runs a nightly job to update the lockfile and opens a pull request only when there is actually something to merge. This means your agent can maintain dependency freshness while you avoid unnecessary pull requests.
