dep-radius: the dependency upgrade detective
An open-source tool that traces dependency-release changes to the files and lines in your code they may affect.
Field notes
The documented workflow compares dependency release notes and version types with the project's actual package usage, then emits file-and-line locations for an agent to inspect. Its example follows a zod 4.4.3-to-4.5.0 upgrade through a changed emoji-length rule, a test edit, and four passing tests. The page reports 51 behavior-changing release notes in its test set, with 25 matched to an exact line; unresolved cases remain review results rather than being declared safe.
