3. Report maintenance status of key crates

Key areas:

- Security vulnerabilities (cargo audit)
- Outdated versions (cargo outdated)
- Unmaintained or deprecated crates
- Unused dependencies (cargo tree analysis)
- Feature flag optimization
- Compile-time impact of dependencies

Provide:

- List of vulnerable/outdated crates
- Severity assessment
- Recommended actions
- Impact of upgrading
