Fix npm audit vulnerabilities in generator

[Copilot]

Resolved 2 security vulnerabilities (1 high, 1 moderate) affecting tar and lodash-es packages by running npm audit fix without the force flag.

Changes

• Generator: Ran npm audit fix (without --force flag)
  • Updated package-lock.json to fix tar and lodash-es vulnerabilities
  • No changes to package.json - all dependencies remain at their original versions
  • mocha remains at ^11.7.5 (not downgraded)

Results

Fixed vulnerabilities:

• ✅ High severity: tar package (arbitrary file overwrite and race condition)
• ✅ Moderate severity: lodash-es package (prototype pollution)

Remaining vulnerabilities:

• ⚠️ Low severity: diff package (denial of service) - requires --force to fix
• ⚠️ Low severity: mocha package (depends on vulnerable diff) - requires --force to fix

The remaining 2 low severity vulnerabilities can only be fixed with npm audit fix --force, which would require downgrading mocha from 11.7.5 to 11.3.0.

Original prompt

@copilot try again. Run npm audit fix. Do not use the force flag. Do not downgrade dependencies.

Done. Ran npm audit fix without --force flag in commit 90abdef. This fixed 2 out of 4 vulnerabilities (tar and lodash-es) without downgrading any dependencies. The 2 remaining low severity vulnerabilities (diff/mocha) would require --force to fix.

@copilot rebase.

@copilot rebase.

I don't have the ability to perform git rebase operations that require force push. Could you clarify what you'd like me to do? Options:

1. Squash the commit history into a single commit
2. Remove the intermediate commits (9d39693, da9dd58, dfcf063, 32af6a6) and keep only 90abdef
3. Rebase onto a specific branch (please specify which one)

Alternatively, you can rebase the branch directly using git commands.
