Pull request overview
This PR adds a security fix for the js-yaml library by leveraging npm's overrides feature to force all transitive dependencies to use version ^4.1.1 or higher, which patches a prototype pollution vulnerability (GHSA-mh29-5h37-fv8m). The change follows the existing pattern in the codebase for managing security issues in indirect dependencies.
Key Changes
- Added js-yaml ^4.1.1 to the overrides section in package.json
- Resolves conflict between js-yaml 3.x (from @codeceptjs/detox-helper) and the patched 4.x version
