Description

It seems that automatic migrations can trigger for dependencies. Case in point: @rescript/react uses the deprecated Js.Nullable.t. This triggers a warning about deprecation (and migration of that), but in a weird broken loc, and that obviously can't be applied since deps can't be rewritten/migrated.

Research direction

Reproduce the automatic migration warning with the @rescript/react dependency using its deprecated Js.Nullable.t usage, then trace the compiler's handling of migrations for dependency code. Done means dependency sources no longer trigger warnings or migration attempts, while migrations for project code still work.
