## Steps
1. Search every lockfile and manifest (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements*.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, composer.lock, go.sum, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) for `payload`. For each hit, compare the installed version with the fix on the same major line: payload 3.88.0, payload 4.0.0-canary.27. If it's lower, give the exact upgrade command for the package manager this repo uses.

## Report
A table: file, product or package, version in use, affected yes/no, exact fix. Then anything a human has to check outside the repo.
