 - Internal work may originate from JIRA issues for internal tracking.

+## Dependency Management
+- Use `yarn run upgrade:deps` to refresh JS packages and Composer libraries in one step; this enforces the PHP 7.2.5–8.3 constraint declared in `composer.json`.
+- When running Composer directly, keep `composer update --with-all-dependencies` targeted at the repo root so the generated lock file honors the configured PHP platform (7.2.5).
