Copilot This PR was opened by Dependabot. Please take it the rest of the way before it's ready for human review:

1. Impact analysis — review the PR diff/description to identify what changed, including the package name and old → new version, then check where that dependency is actually used in the codebase, or whether it is unused, and summarize the potential impact.
2. Fix build/conflict issues — run npm ci --legacy-peer-deps, npm run build, and npm run lint; resolve any merge conflicts, build errors, or lint errors that surface.
3. Tests — add or update tests under tests/** to cover the changed usage, and make sure they meaningfully validate the change (not just re-assert the version bump).
4. Run the suite — run the relevant npm run test:* script(s) for the affected area (e.g. test:blob, test:queue, test:table) and keep fixing until they pass.
5. Changelog — append one bullet to ChangeLog.md under ## Upcoming Release → General:, matching the existing style and tone of the entries already there (package name in backticks, old → new version, why, and a one-line concise summary of any code changes made).
6. Comments — review any existing PR comments and review threads, including resolved/hidden ones, and address anything actionable.
7. Self-rate — rate this work 1-10 against: correctness, test coverage, changelog accuracy, build/lint health, and comment resolution.
8. Iterate — if it's not a 10, keep improving until it is before finishing.
9. Summary — your final response must use the following structure exactly (no free-form paragraph summary).
