Toolkit capability
Astro version and dependency maintenance
A release-gated process for upgrading Astro and its compatible dependencies while preserving production behavior.
Astro version and dependency maintenance
Keep an Astro website current without turning upgrades into incidents.
Every maintenance build starts by checking Astro's official upgrade guidance, release information, and current package compatibility. Go for Launch treats the framework, adapter, integrations, Vite, TypeScript, and deployment changes as one compatible stack that must pass the full release gate.
What the process produces
06 concrete deliverables- 01Build-time official Astro source check
- 02Framework diagnostics and build proof
- 03Adapter and deploy-config review
- 04Browser regression coverage
- 05Staging performance validation
- 06Canonical production verification
Capability and requirements
What this workflow does, and what it needs.
Required inputs apply to this workflow. Conditional tools apply only when the project, platform, or chosen service needs them. A missing optional integration does not block unrelated Go for Launch checks.
Required for this workflow
Inputs and evidence
- The existing Astro repository, lockfile, and documented build commands
- Registry access to resolve the current compatible dependency set
- The project's browser, staging, sitemap, and production release contract
Only when applicable
Conditional tools and access
- Adapter and hosting credentials only when deployment is in scope
- Third-party account access only when the site loads that service
- Migration work only when official Astro guidance identifies a breaking change
Verify the official Astro sources at build time
Start every build by checking Astro's official upgrade guidance and release information, then compare current package releases and peer constraints. Do not rely on a version number copied into this website, and do not force a dependency tree when a checker, adapter, or integration has not declared compatibility.
Review the deployment surface
Inspect adapters, output directories, headers, redirects, runtime bindings, and postbuild scripts. A successful Astro build can still produce the wrong Cloudflare artifact.
Release the upgrade like a migration
Run diagnostics, automated tests, WebKit, native iOS Safari, staging PageSpeed, and live canonical-host checks before calling the maintenance cycle complete.
