chore(deps-dev): bump @openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades from 3.9.1 to 4.0.0

[dependabot]

Bumps @openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades from 3.9.1 to 4.0.0.

Release notes

Sourced from @​openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades's releases.

@​openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades@​4.0.0

• Migrate to Hardhat 3 with ESM module structure and plugin hooks architecture. (#1241)

  Breaking Changes

  • Requires Hardhat 3: minimum hardhat@^3.6.0 required.
  • ESM-only: package converted to ESM; CommonJS is no longer supported.
  • API Changes:
    • No automatic hre.upgrades — call the upgrades(hre, connection) factory explicitly.
    • Factory functions (upgrades, defender) are async and require a network connection.
    • Network connection must be explicitly created: const connection = await hre.network.connect(). Share one connection across operations.
    • ethers now comes from the connection (const { ethers } = connection), not hre.ethers.
  • Import Changes: import factory functions instead of a side-effect import.
    • Before: import '@openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades'
    • After: import { upgrades, defender } from '@openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades'

  Usage and Migration

  See the README for Hardhat 3 usage, the examples directory for sample projects, and the Migration Guide for Hardhat 2 to 3 migration steps.

  Changes

  • Migrated from extendEnvironment to Hardhat 3's HardhatPlugin with hookHandlers.
  • Converted package to ESM.
  • Etherscan verification requires @nomicfoundation/hardhat-verify@^3.0.10 (optional peer dependency).
  • Support Solidity tests in Hardhat 3 with @openzeppelin/foundry-upgrades.
  • Added example projects for Hardhat 3 (Transparent, UUPS, and Solidity-test scaffolds under packages/plugin-hardhat/examples/).

• Updated dependencies [7f3e4c6, 668f70c]:

  • @​openzeppelin/upgrades-core@​1.45.0

@​openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades@​4.0.0-alpha.0

Note ⚠️ This version is still in testing. Do not use it to deploy or upgrade production deployments.
