The package cli-chart@^1.0.0 should be verified. This package has very low download numbers and may not be actively maintained. Consider using a more popular and well-maintained alternative like cli-progress or blessed-contrib for ASCII chart visualization.

The version @babel/parser@^7.23.0 should be verified as this version was released in October 2023. Given the knowledge cutoff in January 2025, ensure this is still a stable and recommended version, or consider using a more recent version if available.
