hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix npm: deprecated dependency [email protected] (leaks memory, used via glob → @babel/cli)

Summary

npm install in ui-tui/ emits a deprecation warning for [email protected]:

npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.

Dependency Chain

ui-tui (devDependencies)
  └─ @babel/cli@^7.28.6
       └─ glob@^7.2.0  (resolved: 7.2.3)
            └─ inflight@^1.0.4  (resolved: 1.0.6)   ← deprecated, leaks memory

Impact

• Build-time only (not in production runtime)
• inflight is explicitly unsupported upstream and leaks memory during repeated npm install / build runs
• The glob@7 series depends on inflight; glob@8+ replaced it with lru-cache

Suggested Fix

1. Preferred: Update @babel/cli to a version that depends on glob@^8 or later (avoids inflight entirely).
2. Workaround: Add an overrides entry in ui-tui/package.json to pin glob to ^8 or ^9, and run npm install to regenerate the lockfile.

// ui-tui/package.json
"overrides": {
  "glob": "^8"
}

Note: @babel/[email protected] is the current latest; if it still pins glob@^7, the override approach is the immediate fix. A future @babel/cli release may resolve this upstream.
