Copilot AI commented Mar 9, 2026

Dependabot was failing to open PRs because the committed package-lock.json was stale — it contained older resolved versions (e.g. @esbuild/* at 0.27.1 vs current 0.27.3) that diverged from what npm install now resolves. Dependabot validates lockfile consistency before attempting any update, and aborts on mismatch.

Changes

  • package-lock.json — Regenerated from scratch; updates @esbuild/*, TypeScript toolchain packages, and others to their current resolutions (~900 lines changed)
