Code Review

This pull request, generated by Snyk, proposes upgrading the mkdirp dependency from version 0.5.6 to 3.0.1. While keeping dependencies up-to-date is good practice, this major version upgrade introduces a critical issue. The new version of mkdirp requires Node.js version 14.14 or higher, which conflicts with this project's stated support for Node.js versions 0.6 and up. This will break the development and build environment for anyone using an older Node.js version. I have left a detailed comment on the package.json file explaining the problem.

"in-publish": "^2.0.1",
"jackspeak": "2.3.6",
"mkdirp": "^0.5.5",
"mkdirp": "^3.0.1",

critical

Upgrading mkdirp to version 3.0.1 introduces a new minimum Node.js version requirement of >=14.14.

However, this project's package.json specifies support for Node.js versions >=0.6 in its engines field:

"engines": {
    "node": ">=0.6"
}

This discrepancy will cause npm install to fail for any developer or CI environment running on a Node.js version older than 14.14, effectively breaking the development and build process for a large range of the currently supported Node versions.

Since mkdirp is a devDependency used in the dist script, this is a critical breaking change for the project's contribution workflow.

Given that this upgrade is not for a security vulnerability, it is recommended to reject this change to maintain broad Node.js compatibility for developers. Alternatively, the project's supported Node.js range would need to be updated, which is a significant policy decision.
