Incompatible brace-expansion override

High Severity

The global brace-expansion override pins every consumer to 2.1.3, including minimatch@10.2.5, which depends on brace-expansion 5.x and imports the named expand export. Version 2.1.3 is CommonJS-only with a callable default export, so loading fails with a missing named export error. That breaks tooling such as ESLint and typescript-eslint that rely on minimatch@10. The PR title lists patched majors 5.0.8 / 2.1.3 / 1.1.17, but the override collapses them all to one incompatible line.
