#63939: `certificates:update` Grunt task does not actually update the dependency

------------------------------+-----------------------
 The `certificates:update` Grunt task attempts to update the `composer/ca-
 bundle` dependency managed by Composer when an update is available. The
 task is not currently working as expected for a few reasons:
 - When a `composer.lock` file is not present, `composer update` cannot
 update an individual dependency (ie. `composer update org/package`)
 - Because the dependency is pinned to an exact version, `composer update`
 would not work as expected anyway.

 The workflow responsible for testing and verifying the results of the
 build scripts should also be updated to confirm that all related files
 subject to version control have been properly updated.

 The certificate related scripts were originally introduced in [59740].
