Summary

Updates production dependencies reported by npm audit --omit=dev, raises the minimum supported Node.js runtime to 22.12+, and reduces the current production audit result from 38 vulnerabilities to 0.

Fixes #814

What changed

  • Upgrade @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to ^1.32.1
  • Upgrade @opendocsg/pdf2md to ^0.3.4
  • Upgrade Tiptap packages to ^3.31.4
  • Upgrade sharp to ^0.35.5
  • Remove unused direct file-type dependency
  • Raise Node.js support from >=18.0.0 to >=22.12.0 in:
    • package.json
    • manifest.template.json
    • install.sh
  • Add scoped/transitive overrides:
    • md-to-pdf -> chokidar@^4.0.3
    • md-to-pdf -> gray-matter -> js-yaml@^4.1.0
    • exceljs -> uuid@^11.1.1
    • proxy-addr@^2.0.8

The Node floor is intentionally 22.12 rather than 22.0 because the resolved secure Puppeteer release requires Node >=22.12.

Audit

Current reviewed head:

npm audit --omit=dev

  • Before: 38 total
    • 12 moderate
    • 24 high
    • 2 critical
  • After: 0

During review the advisory database picked up 6 additional production findings:

  • 5 moderate in the md-to-pdf -> gray-matter -> js-yaml chain
  • 1 critical in proxy-addr

Those are also resolved in the current head via the targeted overrides above.

Validation

Full suite

  • 67/67 tests pass

The earlier three search failures were caused by a verification install run with npm ci --ignore-scripts, which skips @vscode/ripgrep's postinstall and leaves the bundled rg binary absent. With a normal install lifecycle, all search tests pass.

Focused checks

Passed:

  • TypeScript build
  • PDF creation
  • PDF parsing
  • PDF modification
  • PDF embedded-image extraction
  • Excel read/write/edit
  • Search inside XLSX
  • Text search
  • Markdown editor diff tests: 7/7
  • Markdown editor round-trip tests: 24/24
  • Markdown preview/runtime tests

Live plugin smoke test

Also tested against a running Desktop Commander instance built from this branch:

  • MCP config/filesystem/process calls
  • start_search / get_more_search_results
  • XLSX write/read/search
  • PDF create/read/modify
  • PDF with embedded raster image extraction

All succeeded.

Compatibility note

This PR intentionally drops Node 18 and Node 20 support and now requires Node 22.12+.

There are also dependency-level compatibility risks from:

  • @opendocsg/pdf2md 0.2 -> 0.3
  • sharp 0.34 -> 0.35
  • forced chokidar 3 -> 4 under md-to-pdf
  • forced uuid 8 -> 11 under ExcelJS
  • forced js-yaml 3 -> 4 under gray-matter

The affected Desktop Commander paths were specifically exercised as described above.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Requirements
    • Node.js 22.12 or later is now required to install and run the project. Older Node.js versions are no longer supported.
  • Chores
    • Updated package compatibility requirements to align with the supported Node.js version.

Explanation

Issue #814 raises concerns about production audit vulnerabilities. The PR updates production dependencies and adds overrides for transitive dependencies. The current description reports zero findings from npm audit --omit=dev. However, the resolved dependency tree cannot be verified because package-lock.json was excluded by !**/package-lock.json and is not represented in the summary.

package engines declaration if support below Node 22 is intentionally ending.
Preserve the existing Node support policy.
- Line 119: Update the sharp dependency version in package.json to a release
compatible with Node 20.3–20.8, and regenerate package-lock.json so its sharp
resolution matches. Keep the change limited to sharp.
- Around line 144-151: Update the md-to-pdf override in the package overrides
configuration to pin its Puppeteer peer to version 24.34.0, then regenerate the
lockfile so PDF creation remains compatible with the project’s supported Node
versions.
