Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, addresses a 'Directory Traversal' vulnerability by upgrading the pacote and tar dependencies. The tar package is upgraded from ^4.0.2 to ^7.5.7, and pacote is upgraded from ^7.0.2 to ^21.0.1. Both of these are major version upgrades that carry a risk of introducing breaking changes, which I've highlighted in my comments. It is crucial to perform thorough regression testing, especially around package installation, packing, and extraction functionalities, before merging this change.

[gemini-code-assist]

This is a major version upgrade for pacote (from v7 to v21). This is a significant jump and is likely to include breaking changes. It is highly recommended to perform thorough testing on functionality that relies on pacote (like package extraction) to prevent regressions.

[gemini-code-assist]

This upgrade to tar from v4 to v7 is a major version bump. While it fixes a security vulnerability, it may also introduce breaking changes. Given that tar is used for packing and unpacking packages, it's critical to test these code paths for any regressions.
