Updating Tauri Dependencies

This skill provides guidance for updating Tauri dependencies across both the JavaScript and Rust ecosystems.

Version Synchronization (Critical)

The JavaScript @tauri-apps/api package and Rust tauri crate must maintain matching minor versions. Adding new features requires upgrading both sides to ensure compatibility.

For Tauri plugins, maintain exact version parity (e.g., both 2.2.1) for the npm package and cargo crate.
