Caret Version Constraint (^)

In dependency configuration, the caret symbol (^) permits updates that do not modify the left-most non-zero digit. For example, a constraint like ^2.34.2 allows updating to any version in the range >=2.34.2, <3.0.0. This automatically pulls in non-breaking minor updates and patch bug fixes (such as 2.35.0 or 2.34.3). Crucially, it prevents automatic upgrades to major versions (like 3.0.0) that could introduce breaking changes to your project.
