Always try to use latest versions for dependencies. 2. If you are not sure, **do not make assumptions about how external dependencies work**. Always consult documentation. 3. Before trying alternative methods, always try to **use context7 MCP to lookup documentation for external dependencies** like libraries, SDKs, APIs and other external frameworks, tools, etc. - **IMPORTANT! Always make sure that documentation version is the same as declared dependency version itself.** - Only revert to web-search or other alternative methods if you can't find documentation in context7.
