The magento/composer-root-update-plugin Composer plugin resolves changes that need to be made to the root project composer.json file before updating to a new Magento metapackage requirement.
This is accomplished by comparing the root composer.json file for the Magento project corresponding to the Magento version and edition in the current installation with the Magento project composer.json file for the target Magento metapackage when the composer require command runs and applying any deltas found between the two files if they do not conflict with the existing composer.json file in the Magento root directory.
For system requirements and installation instructions, see README.md in the source directory.
