Summary of Changes

Hello @doconnor-clintel, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on addressing reported npm warnings by updating two key development dependencies to their patched versions. The primary goal is to mitigate known security vulnerabilities in brace-expansion and http-proxy-middleware, improving the overall security posture of the development environment.

Highlights

• Dependency Update: brace-expansion: Updated the brace-expansion dependency from version 1.1.11 to 1.1.12 to address a low-severity Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability.
• Dependency Update: http-proxy-middleware: Updated the http-proxy-middleware dependency from version 2.0.7 to 2.0.9 to address a moderate-severity vulnerability, likely related to malformed request handling.

Code Review

This pull request successfully updates brace-expansion to 1.1.12 and http-proxy-middleware to 2.0.9 in package-lock.json, addressing the NPM warnings for known vulnerabilities. The version, resolved URL, and integrity hash changes for both dependencies are correct and align with the goal of the PR.

A minor observation is the removal of the license field from the lockfile entries for these two updated dependencies. While this is often a benign side effect of npm's lockfile management and doesn't change the actual licensing of the packages, it's worth being aware of in case any internal tooling or compliance checks rely on this specific field within package-lock.json.

Overall, the changes effectively mitigate the reported vulnerabilities. It's recommended to ensure the application functions as expected after these dependency updates by running tests and performing manual checks in the development environment.
