Sometimes there are some paradigms shift in the dependency that get past the current tests you have. So it’s always good to read the changelog and plan the update accordingly.
Strong automated tests and verifications seem to be nearly as rare as unicorns, at least if you take most of developers feelings on this.
It seems places don't prioritize it, so you don't see it very often. Some developers are outright dismissive of the practice.
Unfortunately, AI won't seemingly help with that
