This PR is too large for Bugbot to review. It changes 107,913 lines and 4,077,103 characters. Split the change into smaller pull requests to get a review.

Unable to oblige for Bugbot's sake. Perhaps Bugbot can be persuaded to ignore the contents of the compiled code from ncc in the dist directory?

This PR changes only versions in package-lock.json and rebuilds the action. There are no other changes in the PR.

The goal is to address vulnerabilities.
