Description

When we have a project A depending on a project B which depends on Mathlib, and both versions are pinned to a specific Lean release, we should set it up so that the action on A will not just upgrade Mathlib but also B.

The action should autodetect which dependencies to auto-update, presumably by matching on rev = "v4.* (or the equivalent). Asking the user to pass in those dependencies explicitly means more configuration work to get wrong, and a higher likelihood of desynchronization between the Lakefile and the workflow.

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the action's dependency-update entry point and inspect how pinned dependencies are currently selected; done means updating project A also updates matching pinned project B dependencies without requiring explicit configuration, while preserving the Lean release match.
