That is certainly a way to do it that seems better than the current
approach?  Hoping to get as automated as feasible.

Is there a reason you'd want package.json updates to be done manually?
That seems something a GH Action could do [ after tests pass ] -- without
having spent about any time with this thought, it looks like it could parse
updated package-lock to get versions and then replace/update those versions
in package.json, and run tests accordingly.
