Research direction

Start by inspecting the repository's CI configuration and the top-level Manifest.toml, then trace how Julia package updates are currently run. Done means a weekly job runs Pkg.update(), changes Manifest.toml when needed, and opens a pull request containing those changes.

Description

Every time I write new docs or update stuff, I run into weird stuff happening with deps, whether it's SciML stuff or ForwardDiff 1.0 or just other weird things. This time (#676), it's the Core Functionality page which broke, which is a bit ironic.

I think it would make sense to have a weekly cron job that runs Pkg.update() in the top level dir and makes a PR with any changes to Manifest.toml, then at least we can separate the task of writing docs from the task of keeping up to date with dependency churn.
