Use per-project Pkg environments (Project.toml + Manifest.toml) as the reproducibility boundary for Julia applications: activate, add direct deps, commit both files, and reproduce with Pkg.instantiate().
Commit composer.lock, run composer install (never update) in production, and pin config.platform.php — the workflow, a worked composer.json, and the mistakes that cause drift.
Composer's 'requirements could not be resolved' error means version constraints conflict. Learn the ordered checks — why-not, check-platform-reqs, -W updates — and fixes tied to each finding.
Commit both .nimble manifests and nimble.lock files to guarantee deterministic builds across machines and CI pipelines.
Poetry 1.2+ dependency groups keep dev tooling out of published wheels, while extras remain the only way to let downstream users select optional features via pip. Use both: groups for test/lint/docs, extras for public feature flags like [redis] or [async].
