+            
+            ### Summary
+            
+            This is an automated report of outdated dependencies in the project.
+            
+            #### Composer Dependencies (PHP)
+            Check the [Composer Updates job](https://github.com/${context.repo.owner}/${context.repo.repo}/actions/runs/${context.runId}) for details.
+            
+            #### NPM Dependencies (JavaScript)
+            Check the [NPM Updates job](https://github.com/${context.repo.owner}/${context.repo.repo}/actions/runs/${context.runId}) for details.
+            
+            ### Recommendations
+            
+            1. Review the outdated packages in the job logs
+            2. Check for breaking changes in package changelogs
+            3. Update packages incrementally with testing
+            4. Consider enabling Dependabot for automated PRs
+            
+            ### Actions
+            
+            - [ ] Review outdated packages
+            - [ ] Test updates in development
+            - [ ] Create PRs for critical security updates
