Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, correctly updates the tar dependency from version 7.5.2 to 7.5.4 to resolve a security vulnerability. My review includes a suggestion to use a version range for this dependency to allow for automatic patch updates in the future, which would improve maintainability and align with the versioning strategy of other dependencies in the project.

[gemini-code-assist]

While this security upgrade is necessary, consider using a caret (^) for the version range to automatically receive non-breaking security patches in the future. This would align with how other dependencies in this file are specified (e.g., node-fetch, https-proxy-agent) and could prevent the need for manual updates for minor and patch releases.
