Summary
Clears the only open high-severity Dependabot alert on this repo:
brace-expansionReDoS (vulnerable< 1.1.16).Lockfile-only change — no manifest version ranges touched.
brace-expansionis a transitive dev dependency (via the jest/glob chain), so there is no runtime surface here, but the alert is worth closing to keep the queue clean.Change

npm auditalso reports ~20 high findings that it wants to fix by jumpingjestto a new major (jest@25). Those are not open Dependabot alerts — they're audit-only noise from the dev toolchain, and a jest major bump is a separate, riskier change. Deliberately out of scope here.
