Note

Low Risk
Dependency-only security hardening for glob/brace parsing; legitimate patterns should behave the same, with pathological input truncated instead of crashing or hanging.

Overview
Addresses high-severity brace-expansion advisories (stack exhaustion and quadratic CPU use on malicious patterns) by running npm audit fix, which bumps brace-expansion in the lockfile (e.g. 1.1.18 → 1.1.21, nested 5.0.9 → 5.0.12 under ESLint).

The rebuilt dist/index.js carries the patched expansion logic: new caps EXPANSION_MAX_DEPTH and EXPANSION_MAX_REWRITES, optional maxDepth / maxRewrites on expandTop, depth checks in expand, a bounded {a},b} rewrite loop, parseCommaParts rewritten iteratively (no recursive tail on chained brace groups), and pushAll instead of spread/apply pushes to avoid stack blowups.
