Update gems in Canvas LMS following these rules:

General Rules

• Never touch Gemfile*.lock files directly
• Run BUNDLE_LOCKFILE=active bundle outdated to find the list of outdated gems. Keep this list in memory so you don't have to keep running it, since it is a relatively slow command.
• Run bundle update --conservative <gem_name> to update individual gems
• Run bundle install one more time to ensure all lockfiles are in sync
• Commit the changes, with a commit message of bundle update <gem_name> (you don't need to include the conservative flag in the commit message). Be sure to check for changes in Gemfile*.lock, Gemfile.d/*.lock, and gems/*/Gemfile*.lock.

Gem Groups

Some groups of gems can be updated together:

• aws*
• google*
• Rails: action*, active*, rack*, rails, railties, and zeitwerk -- except active_model_serializers
• datadog and its dependencies that aren't shared with other gems, such as libdatadog
• faraday*
• redis*
• rspec*
• rubocop* (and their dependencies that aren't shared with other gems, such as ast)
• ruby-lsp*
• sentry*

All other gems should be updated and committed independently. The commit message for a group should use the base name without the wildcard, or rails for the Rails group.

Additional Rules

• Look in Gemfile.lock to determine a gem's dependencies — they're indented one level deeper than the gem that depends on them in each specs section.
• Don't attempt to update any gems that already have an exact version requirement on them.
• Don't bother updating sorbet-runtime for patch version changes.
• Do the rubocop group last, after all other groups and individual gems, since it will likely have new offenses that will need to be resolved.
• If the gem is referenced by any file in gems/plugins/*/*.gemspec with an exact pin, it will need to be updated by changing the exact pin in the gemspec, then running BUNDLE_LOCKFILE=active bundle install. You still need to run a bare bundle install afterwards to ensure the main lockfile and any child lockfiles stay in sync.
