Lockfiles (such as pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock) record every dependency actually installed by the project and its exact version; when a direct dependency requires a higher version, the package manager will bump the lockfile entry, which may trigger synchronized changes in indirect dependencies.
