Summary

Dependency maintenance. Everything moves to the newest version it can while keeping
Node 16 support — engines is unchanged at >=16, and the only runtime change is
@xmldom/xmldom ^0.8.10^0.8.15. The rest is devDependencies.

  • Dropped ejs — unused.
  • Pinned @cjbarth/github-release-notes to ~4.2.0; 4.3.0 needs Node 18+ and broke
    npm ci on the Node 16 CI job.
  • Declared the Prettier plugins in .prettierrc.json. Prettier 3 dropped plugin
    auto-loading, so @prettier/plugin-xml and prettier-plugin-packagejson had been
    installed but inert. No files change shape as a result.
  • Fixed a comma-instead-of-semicolon in canonicalization-unit-tests.spec.ts that
    joined two it() blocks into a single expression. Both already ran, so the diff there
    is mostly re-indentation.
  • Bumped the GitHub Actions, and added Node 22 and 24 to the test matrix.

Build, lint and 211 tests pass on both Node 16.20.2 and Node 24.19.0.

Bump every direct dependency to the newest version its current major
allows (semver minor/patch only), so no consumer-visible breaking
change and no major version bump of xml-crypto is required.

Runtime:
  @xmldom/xmldom  ^0.8.10 -> ^0.8.15

Dev:
  @cjbarth/github-release-notes  ^4.2.0   -> ^4.3.0
  @prettier/plugin-xml           ^3.2.2   -> ^3.4.2
  @types/chai                    ^4.3.11  -> ^4.3.20
  @types/mocha                   ^10.0.6  -> ^10.0.10
  @types/node                    ^16.18.69 -> ^16.18.126
  @typescript-eslint/*           ^6.18.1  -> ^6.21.0
  chai                           ^4.3.10  -> ^4.5.0
  ejs                            ^3.1.9   -> ^3.1.10
  eslint                         ^8.56.0  -> ^8.57.1
  eslint-config-prettier         ^9.0.0   -> ^9.1.2
  mocha                          ^10.2.0  -> ^10.8.2
  prettier                       ^3.1.0   -> ^3.9.6
  prettier-plugin-packagejson    ^2.4.6   -> ^2.5.22
  ts-node                        ^10.9.1  -> ^10.9.2
  typescript                     ^5.3.2   -> ^5.9.3

Code tweaks required by the newer toolchain, neither of which changes
the public API:

- src/types.ts: reflow a union type for prettier 3.9.
- test/canonicalization-unit-tests.spec.ts: the "SignedInfo
  canonization" test ended in a comma rather than a semicolon, making
  it and "Exclusive canonicalization works on complex xml" a single
  comma-sequence expression. Prettier 3.9 renders sequence expressions
  with wrapping parens, which exposed the typo. Fixed the separator
  instead of accepting the reformat; both tests already ran, so test
  behaviour is unchanged.

Vulnerabilities reported by npm audit drop from 72 to 42, with the
runtime dependency tree now reporting zero.

Build, lint and the full suite (211 passing) are green.

Follow-up to the within-major pass. These are devDependency major
bumps; they are invisible to consumers, so no semver major is needed.

  eslint-config-prettier       ^9.1.2   -> ^10.1.8  (peer eslint >=7)
  eslint-plugin-deprecation    ^2.0.0   -> ^3.0.0   (peer eslint ^8, ts ^5)
  prettier-plugin-packagejson  ^2.5.22  -> ^3.0.2   (peer prettier ^3)

Also revert @cjbarth/github-release-notes to ^4.2.0. Version 4.3.0
requires Node >= 18 and pulls the @inquirer/* stack, which peer-depends
on "@types/node >= 18". That cannot be reconciled with pinning
@types/node to ^16, and npm 8 and npm 11 resolve the conflict
differently: the resulting lockfile made `npm ci` fail on Node 16 with
"Missing: @types/node@26.4.1 from lock file". CI runs `npm ci` on the
Node 16 matrix entry, so this had to go back.

The lockfile is regenerated with npm 8 on Node 16, the oldest toolchain
CI uses, and stays at lockfileVersion 2 as before. `npm update` on
Node 16 is now a no-op, so the CI test job's update/reinstall cycle is
stable.

The eslint-plugin-deprecation and prettier-plugin-packagejson upgrades
declare Node >= 18 / >= 20 through transitive dependencies
(@typescript-eslint 7, sort-package-json 3), but those declarations are
advisory and the code paths we use still run on Node 16. Verified
rather than assumed, see below. The deprecation/deprecation rule was
also confirmed to still report, so the upgrade did not silently
disable it.

Verified end to end on both Node 16.20.2 / npm 8.19.4 and
Node 24.19.0 / npm 11.17.0: npm ci, build, lint and 211 passing tests.
The full CI sequence (ci, test, update, ci, test) also passes on
Node 16.

Remove ejs. It was a direct devDependency with no reference anywhere in
the repo and nothing else depending on it.

Activate the Prettier plugins. Prettier 2 auto-loaded plugins from
node_modules, but Prettier 3 removed that, so since the move to
Prettier 3 both @prettier/plugin-xml and prettier-plugin-packagejson
have been installed but never loaded. Declaring them in
.prettierrc.json restores the intended behaviour, confirmed by
formatting a scratch file before and after: package.json keys now sort
and XML is normalised. Nothing in the repo actually changes shape,
because package.json was already in sort-package-json order and every
XML file lives under test/static or test/validators, which
.prettierignore excludes. That exclusion matters: those are signature
fixtures where whitespace is load-bearing and must never be reformatted.

Pin @cjbarth/github-release-notes to ~4.2.0. The previous commit set
^4.2.0, which still resolves to 4.3.0, so it did not actually keep the
@InQuirer stack (and its "@types/node >= 18" peer, unsatisfiable
against our @types/node ^16) out of the tree. What made `npm ci` pass
on Node 16 there was regenerating the lockfile with npm 8, which is not
durable: any later `npm install` under npm 11 reintroduced the failure.
Only 4.2.0 and 4.3.0 exist in 4.x, so ~4.2.0 holds 4.2.0 while still
allowing a future 4.2.x patch. The lockfile is now npm-version
independent, verified by generating it under npm 11 and installing it
under npm 8.

Refresh GitHub Actions: checkout v4 -> v7, setup-node v4 -> v7,
codecov-action v3.1.4 -> v7, codeql-action v3 -> v4. codecov-action v7
still accepts the `verbose` input, `token` remains optional, and
`fail_ci_if_error` defaults to false, so a tokenless upload cannot fail
the build. Extend the test matrix with Node 22 and 24 alongside the
existing 16, 18 and 20.

Verified on Node 16.20.2 / npm 8.19.4 and Node 24.19.0 / npm 11.17.0:
npm ci, build, lint and 211 passing tests, plus the full CI sequence
(ci, test, update, ci, test) on Node 16. `npm update` under npm 8
rewrites the lockfile, but the change is only the per-package `license`
metadata field that npm 11 records and npm 8 does not; no dependency
version moves.

Comment thread .github/workflows/ci.yml
Both jobs in ci.yml run `npm ci` and `npm test`, which execute code from
the checked-out branch, including package lifecycle scripts. On a
pull_request build that is untrusted code, and actions/checkout leaves
the GITHUB_TOKEN available to later steps by default. Nothing in either
job needs authenticated git access, so set persist-credentials: false on
both checkout steps.

Also add a workflow-level `permissions: contents: read`. ci.yml had no
permissions block and so inherited the repository defaults; the jobs only
need to read the repository. codeql-analysis.yml already declares its own
least-privilege block and is left alone.

Raised by CodeRabbit/zizmor (artipacked, excessive-permissions) on node-saml#543.

@cjbarth cjbarth added this to the v6.2 milestone Sep 6, 2026
5.0.0 no longer depends on the npm CLI, which 4.2.0 vendored in full.
That single dependency accounted for most of the repository's advisories,
and dropping it takes `npm audit` from 53 to 22, with the one critical
and 28 of the high findings gone. Runtime dependencies remain at zero.

It also unblocks the reason we were pinned to 4.2.0 in the first place.
The @InQuirer stack still peer-depends on "@types/node >= 18", which
cannot be satisfied alongside our pinned @types/node ^16, but that peer
is now marked optional. npm 8 and npm 11 therefore agree on the tree
instead of disagreeing about whether to install it, and the lockfile no
longer depends on which npm generated it. That was the actual failure
before: `npm ci` on the Node 16 matrix entry aborting with
"Missing: @types/node@26.4.1 from lock file".

Note that 5.0.0 declares "node >= 24" while this package supports Node
16, so `npm ci` logs EBADENGINE warnings on the older matrix entries.
They are warnings, not errors, and gren is release-time tooling that only
ever runs on a maintainer's machine, never in CI.

Verified on Node 16.20.2 / npm 8.19.4 and Node 24.19.0 / npm 11.17.0:
npm ci, build, lint and 211 passing tests, plus the full CI sequence
(ci, test, update, ci, test) on Node 16.
