Upgrade all packages, dependencies, pipelines, and React to latest versions

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR upgrades all npm packages to their latest stable versions, migrates the React application to use React 18's modern APIs, and updates the development infrastructure to use the latest Node.js LTS version.

Changes Made

📦 Package Updates

All npm dependencies have been upgraded to their latest stable versions:

• React: 18.0.0 → 18.3.1
• React DOM: 18.0.0 → 18.3.1
• @testing-library/jest-dom: 5.16.4 → 6.9.1
• @testing-library/react: 12.1.4 → 16.3.0
• @testing-library/user-event: 13.5.0 → 14.6.1
• web-vitals: 2.1.4 → 5.1.0
• react-scripts: 5.0.0 → 5.0.1

🔧 React 18 Migration

Migrated from the deprecated ReactDOM.render() API to React 18's createRoot() API:

Before:

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

After:

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>
);

This change eliminates React 18 deprecation warnings and follows the recommended migration path for concurrent rendering features.

🚀 Infrastructure Updates

GitHub Actions:

• Updated actions/checkout from v2 to v4 for improved performance and security

DevContainer:

• Updated Node.js version from 16 to 20 (current LTS)
• Updated Dockerfile and devcontainer.json configurations

✅ Verification

All changes have been tested and verified:

• ✅ All tests passing (1/1 test suites)
• ✅ Production build compiles successfully
• ✅ Development server runs without errors or warnings
• ✅ Application renders correctly with no deprecation warnings

📸 Screenshot

The application runs successfully with all updated dependencies:

🔒 Security Notes

The remaining 9 vulnerabilities reported by npm audit are in development dependencies (transitive dependencies of react-scripts) and do not affect production builds. These are tracked upstream in the create-react-app repository and will be addressed when react-scripts releases a new major version.

Testing

To test these changes:

cd src
npm install
npm test
npm run build
npm start
