This fills me with rage. `uuid` is an NPM module that generates random UUIDs. Somehow it was already on major version nine(!) when we started using it. Now a security issue has been found in it (how?!), and to "resolve this" I have to just to major version 14 (fourteen!)
This is why Zero Dependencies is the way to go in 2026 — at least in the ES6 ecosystem.
