* docs: explicitly document `depTypes` each manager supports A long-standing question we receive is "what `depTypes` can I match against in my project". Although the best recommendation we usually have is "check the `packageFiles with updates" log line (as a very key log line for users), we can go one step further and try and create a stronger contract. To do this, I've used Claude Sonnet 4.6 to work through the codebase, determine areas that a `depType` is set in a manager (statically or dynamically) and generate a structured, typed, means to document how they're used. Through a few iterations of the process, and attempts at human-written documentation, we've settled on: - prioritising autogenerated documentation (for humans to read) to note what `depTypes` are known, and what they are - `knownDepTypes`, to describe any known, static, `depType`s and their human-readable meaning - with the `prettyDepType`, if used - `supportsDynamicDepTypesNote`, to add a Markdown note to the generated documentation While here, we also: - make sure to note this in the "adding a new package manager" documentation - remove any hand-written references to `depTypes` in each manager's documentation page - correct the Gleam `depTypes` - make sure to use the `knownDepTypes`'s `prettyDepType` definition if we know it, for a given `depType` The descriptions have been generated by Claude Sonnet, with some human-written tweaks where appropriate.
