The action requires Julia to be installed, so must occur after `setup-julia`. It runs just
before `julia-buildpkg` so that Resolver.jl creates a Manifest.toml with minimal versions before installing packages.

In this example, we test both `deps` (direct dependencies only) and `alldeps` (deps + weakdeps) scenarios.
In this example, we test both `deps` (direct dependencies only) and `alldeps` (deps + weakdeps) scenarios.

The `skip:` input says that we should not attempt to downgrade `Pkg` or `TOML`.

## Downgrade Modes

- **`deps`**: Minimize only your direct dependencies (recommended for most packages)
- **`alldeps`**: Minimize direct dependencies and weak dependencies
- **`alldeps`**: Minimize direct dependencies and weak dependencies
- **`all`**: Minimize all packages (may test issues in transitive dependencies)

**Recommendation**: Use `deps` mode for most packages as it focuses on testing your actual compat bounds without being affected by issues in transitive dependencies that you can't control.
