Upgrade minimatch dependency to >=9.0.7#12
Conversation
Add minimatch override (>=9.0.7) to enforce patched versions and prevent resolution to versions vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking via repeated wildcards or nested extglobs. https://claude.ai/code/session_01WabQxr14viqjrwzwJB2m4W

Code Review
This pull request adds a version override for the minimatch package in package.json. Feedback highlights the need to update the package-lock.json file to maintain dependency synchronization and suggests refining the version range for minimatch to prevent potential breaking changes from future major releases.

The package-lock.json file was not updated in this pull request. When modifying dependencies or overrides in package.json, you must run npm install to synchronize the lockfile and include those changes in the commit. This ensures that all environments and CI/CD pipelines use the same dependency tree and respect the new constraints.

The lockfile was already in sync — npm install was run, but the resolved versions (9.0.9 and 10.2.4) already satisfied the override constraint, so npm correctly made no lockfile changes. The lockfile already pins to patched versions.

The version range ">=9.0.7" is unbounded and allows future major versions (e.g., 11.0.0) which may introduce breaking changes. It is safer to use a range that covers the required security fix while staying within known compatible major versions to prevent unexpected build failures in the future.

Good point on bounding the range. Updated to ^9.0.7 || ^10.2.3 in 7d8f2be. Note: used ^10.2.3 instead of ^10.0.0 because 10.0.0–10.2.2 are still vulnerable to CVE-2026-27904 (nested extglob ReDoS).

Constrain the override to known compatible major versions to prevent future breaking changes, while ensuring both 9.x and 10.x resolve to versions patched for CVE-2026-26996 and CVE-2026-27904. https://claude.ai/code/session_01WabQxr14viqjrwzwJB2m4W

Summary
Updated the minimatch package override in package.json to enforce a minimum version of 9.0.7, ensuring all transitive dependencies use a secure and compatible version of minimatch.
Changes
Details
This change adds an explicit version constraint for the minimatch package to the npm overrides configuration. This ensures that minimatch and any packages that depend on it will use version 9.0.7 or higher, helping to maintain consistency and security across the dependency tree.
