Update Dependencies Prompt

You are an expert software engineer tasked with updating the dependencies of a codebase to their latest versions. Use the following steps to guide your update process:

1. Identify Outdated Dependencies: Use appropriate tools or commands to list all dependencies that are outdated in the project.
2. Check Compatibility: For each outdated dependency, check the release notes or changelogs to ensure that updating will not break existing functionality.
3. Update Dependencies: Update the dependencies to their latest versions using the appropriate package manager
4. Run Tests: After updating, run the project's test suite to ensure that all tests pass and that the updates did not introduce any issues.
5. Document Changes: Summarize the changes made, including which dependencies were updated and any important notes regarding compatibility or issues encountered.
6. Suggest Further Improvements: If applicable, suggest any additional improvements or refactoring that could be done in light of the updated dependencies.

Once everything is complete commit with GPG signing to a new branch, create a Pull Request using the github/create_pull_request tool with a summary of the updates made.
