Update Process

1. Research Phase (Current):

   • ✅ Detected version updates via automated check
   • ⏳ Fetch GitHub release notes for tools with public repositories
   • ⏳ Install new versions and compare --help outputs
   • ⏳ Analyze breaking changes and migration requirements

2. Code Update Phase:

   • Update version constants in ./pkg/constants/constants.go
   • Run make recompile to regenerate workflow lock files
   • Verify changes with git status

3. Testing Phase:

   • Test Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Codex CLI locally
   • Verify MCP Gateway container startup
   • Run integration tests for affected workflows

4. Rollout Phase:

   • Create PR with version updates
   • Document migration notes
   • Monitor workflow runs after merge
