Code Review

This pull request correctly upgrades the elliptic package from version 6.5.7 to 6.6.0 to address a critical security vulnerability (SNYK-JS-ELLIPTIC-8187303). However, as Snyk noted in the description, the pnpm-lock.yaml file was not updated. It is critical to update the lock file by running pnpm install and committing the changes to ensure the security fix is actually applied in all environments. Without this step, the project remains vulnerable.

[gemini-code-assist]

This version upgrade is correct for fixing the security vulnerability. However, the pnpm-lock.yaml file has not been updated. As Snyk noted in the PR description, you must run pnpm install to update the lock file and commit the changes. Without this, the vulnerable version of elliptic might still be used, and the security fix will not be effective.
