`npm audit` (dev included) reported a low-severity advisory against
`esbuild` in three of the four client installs. It is not in the
production tree — `npm audit --omit=dev` has been clean everywhere since
2058 — but a permanently non-clean audit trains people to skim the
channel, which is the same argument 2058 made.
`tsup@8.5.1` declares `esbuild: ^0.27.0`, and the advisory covers
0.27.3 - 0.28.0 with 0.27.7 the last 0.27.x, so there is no upward
escape inside tsup's declared range. `npm audit fix` "resolves" it by
silently downgrading to 0.27.2 across three installs — the trap hit and
reverted during 2058. An `overrides` entry forces the copy above the
range instead.
- Add `"overrides": { "esbuild": "^0.28.2" }` to clients/{web,cli,tui}.
That also covers the tui's `tsx` copy (0.28.0), so no separate update
is needed.
- Re-resolve each lockfile. Every changed entry is an esbuild one: the
nested `tsup/node_modules/esbuild` and `tsx/node_modules/esbuild`
copies collapse into the single deduped 0.28.2, and no other package
moves.
- Document the pin in AGENTS.md, including when to drop it.
The real gate here is the build, not the audit: this puts tsup on an
esbuild major it does not declare. `npm run build` succeeds for all
three clients, and `npm run ci` passes.
