Code Review

The pull request introduces a Bazel Steward workflow to automate dependency updates. The addition of permissions to the workflow is a good security practice. The script itself seems straightforward, but there are a couple of areas for improvement regarding TODOs and branch cleanup.

Merge Readiness

The pull request is almost ready for merging. Addressing the TODO comments in tools/bazel-steward/update.bash would be beneficial. I am unable to directly approve the pull request, and users should have others review and approve this code before merging.
