Workflow

Check (`--check`)

Parse Package.swift or Package.resolved
Query package registries for latest versions
Report packages with updates available
Categorize: minor, major

Audit (`--audit`)

Check dependencies against known vulnerability databases
Report any security advisories
Suggest updates or alternatives

Update (`--update`)

Show packages to update
Ask for approval
Update: swift package update
Build to verify: xcodebuild build
Run tests: xcodebuild test
If tests pass, report success
If tests fail, rollback and report

Add (`--add`)

Validate package URL or resolve shorthand
Add to Package.swift or via Xcode
Resolve dependencies
Build to verify
Report usage instructions
