Fix NPM Audit High Severity Vulnerabilities

This PR fixes 6 high severity npm audit vulnerabilities by leveraging the existing pnpm override mechanism.

Completed Tasks:

  • Analyze npm audit issues (6 high severity in tar package)
  • Create task list using mcp-taskflow
  • Remove accidental package-lock.json file
  • Add package-lock.json to .gitignore
  • Verify tar@7.5.7 is in pnpm-lock.yaml
  • Run all tests (593 tests passed)
  • Verify audit issues resolved
  • Run pnpm install to update dependencies
  • Create changeset for versioning (patch release)

Changes Made:

  1. Removed package-lock.json - File was accidentally created during testing and conflicts with pnpm
  2. Updated .gitignore - Added package-lock.json to prevent future npm usage
  3. Added changeset - Created .changeset/shiny-impalas-rhyme.md for proper version tracking
  4. Verified pnpm-lock.yaml - Up to date with tar@7.5.7 override

Root Cause:

  • package-lock.json was accidentally created during npm audit testing
  • Project uses pnpm with existing tar@7.5.7 override in package.json
  • npm installs vulnerable tar versions (<=7.5.6) when package-lock.json exists

Solution:

  • Zero code changes required
  • Removed package-lock.json and added to .gitignore
  • Leveraged existing pnpm.overrides configuration (tar ^7.5.7)
  • Added proper versioning via changeset (patch)

Verification:

  • ✅ tar@7.5.7 confirmed in pnpm-lock.yaml
  • ✅ All 593 tests passing
  • ✅ No vulnerabilities found in tar@7.5.7 (GitHub Advisory Database)
  • ✅ pnpm.overrides correctly configured
  • ✅ pnpm install completed successfully
  • ✅ Changeset created for version 0.1.4 release
