Code Review

This pull request updates devDependencies and adds an overrides section to package.json to address security vulnerabilities. The changes include downgrading several development dependencies from pre-release versions to their stable counterparts, which is a good move for stability. My review includes a suggestion to tighten the version constraints in the overrides section to prevent potential breaking changes from future major version updates.
