Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades three dependencies (axios, gulp-ng-annotate, gulp-sass) to fix two security vulnerabilities. While addressing security is crucial, the proposed upgrades introduce several critical issues and breaking changes. The target version for axios (1.12.0) does not exist, which will break the installation. The upgrade of gulp-sass to v5 requires a peer dependency (sass) that is missing and will not be installed by the project's configured npm version, also breaking the build. Furthermore, all three are major version upgrades with significant breaking changes that require careful testing. My review provides specific comments on these issues.

[gemini-code-assist]

The specified version ^1.12.0 for axios does not exist on the npm registry. This will cause the npm install command to fail. This appears to be a typo in the automated PR. Please update it to a valid, existing version. For example, you could use the latest stable version in the 1.x series.

Note that this is a major version upgrade from 0.x to 1.x, which includes breaking changes, particularly in error handling. Thorough testing of all features using axios is highly recommended.

Suggested change

	"axios": "^1.12.0",
	"axios": "^1.7.2",

[gemini-code-assist]

gulp-sass v5 and later uses Dart Sass, which must be installed as a peer dependency. Your project's package.json specifies npm: "3.10.3" in the engines field. This version of npm does not automatically install peer dependencies, so the npm install will likely succeed with a warning, but your production build (buildCSSProduction task) will fail when it tries to use sass.

To fix this, you must explicitly add sass to your devDependencies.

Additionally, be aware that this upgrade switches your Sass compiler from Node-Sass to Dart Sass. Dart Sass is stricter and may not compile SCSS that worked with Node-Sass (e.g., use of / for division is deprecated). This also creates an inconsistency between your development builds (using sass-loader with Node-Sass) and production builds. It is highly recommended to test your production CSS build thoroughly.

This major version upgrade of gulp-ng-annotate could introduce breaking changes. The underlying ng-annotate library, which this package wraps, had breaking changes in its v1.0 release. Although your usage with default options might be safe, it's important to thoroughly test your production build (the buildJSProduction gulp task) to ensure AngularJS dependency injection annotations are still being correctly applied.
