On a weekly schedule, updates a repository's dependencies to their latest in-range (minor/patch) versions using the project's own package manager, regenerates the lockfile, and opens a single pull request with a summary of what changed. Holds back major (breaking) upgrades and lists them for manual review. Requires the target repository to be set on the Clone step and an execution environment with the relevant toolchain (sandbox mode).
