How to Prevent a Release From Running With an Unreviewed Dependency Update

A floating package or container tag can change build contents without a deliberate source change.

Checks to make

Pin dependencies and base images, review lockfile and artifact diffs, and generate a software bill of materials where available. Require vulnerability and compatibility checks for updates, and record the exact build artifact used in each release.
