inquirer 8 pulls in 50 packages and 7.4 MB (rxjs, old chalk) for every
user running npm init @clusterio. The standalone select, input, confirm
and checkbox packages from the same project cover all prompts used and
cut the create install from 70 packages / 8.1 MB to 31 / 0.94 MB.
The Windows rl.close workaround now patches readline.Interface instead
of inquirer's Prompt class, since the new prompts create their own
readline interface. Ctrl+C at a prompt exits with code 130 instead of
0, and closed stdin no longer crashes with ERR_USE_AFTER_CLOSE.

Raise the catalog and package.json floors to the latest release within
each major, and move typebox to 0.34, react-router-dom to 7,
winston-daily-rotate-file to 5, webpack-dev-middleware to 8 and
webpack-manifest-plugin to 6. None of these need code changes.
express 5.3.0 requires proxy-addr ^2.0.8 and qs ^6.16.0, which puts a
floor under the critical proxy-addr and high qs advisories for anyone
installing the published packages. webpack-dev-middleware 8 fixes a
high advisory in the controller's dev mode, and react-router 7 fixes two
moderate ones.

yargs, @types/yargs, semver and @types/semver are used by several packages at the same version. Also point the remaining direct references to @swc/core and react-router-dom at their existing catalog entries.

Raise every caret range to the current latest within its major, in the
root package.json, the pnpm-workspace.yaml catalog, the per-package
package.json files and the create plugin template.
Majors taken: eslint 10, @eslint/js 10, globals 17, nyc 18,
@types/express 5, @types/node 24, finalhandler 2, pidusage 4,
style-loader 4, css-loader 7, yargs 18 (all packages), chalk 6.
Majors skipped: mocha 12 (integration suite fails under it, 59 tests,
starting with a 30 s timeout in clusteriocontroller run; kept at
^11.8.0), inquirer (10+ is a rewrite on @inquirer/prompts where
ui.Prompt.prototype.close no longer exists, so the win32 readline
workaround in create.js would have to go and cannot be verified here),
react/antd/react-router-dom/@types/react, typescript 7,
@sinclair/typebox, webpack-merge (exact pin), webpack-dev-middleware,
webpack-manifest-plugin, winston-daily-rotate-file.
Code adaptations: the two /api/stream/:id handlers in routes.ts are
typed Request<{ id: string }> because @types/express 5 types
req.params values as string | string[]; eslint.config.mjs adds
newIsCapExceptions: ["constructor"] because eslint 10.10 new-cap now
reports `new this.constructor()`.

Migrate the usage of CommonJS specific code and imports to ESM. Roughly
summarised this:
- Changes all require() calls to import statement or expressions.
- Changes usage of module.exports to export statements.
- Replaces require.resolve with import.meta.resolve.
- Replaces conditional imports with conditional subpath imports.
- Replaces module === require.main with import.meta.main.
- Adds the full filename with extention to all relative imports.
- Changes all usage of __dirname and __filename to their import.meta
equivalents.
- Sets "type": "module" in package.json files.
- Removes usage of "use strict".
- Adds .ts an an alias of .js for the webpack build.
Due to differences in how require and import resolves files the plugin
entrypoints will have to include the filename and extension after this
migration in order to work.
These packages are obsoleted by the promises API to the built-in Node fs
module. The fs-extra package is also causing problems with broken APIs
that don't behave the same as Node's fs module, and throwing errors
without code properties on them.
Be consistent with the usage of tabs as indents in all JSON files in the
project. This makes it easier to configure editors to emit the right
indents when manually editing these files.
Update non-web related dependencies to their latest version were
possible. It appears yargs has changed its parsing of command line
options to no longer remove a layer of quotes.
The LTS releases for v12 and v14 are already end of life and the v16 is
end of life in under two months from now on. Bump supported version up
to v18 as it does not make sense to continue to support EOL releases.
Even if we wanted to keep supporting them, our dependencies will not.
Note that Node.js v18 is currently not avaliable via the NodeSource PPA
on Ubuntu 19.10 and below or Debian 9 and below.
Fix the installer wiping the package.json file due to a call to
outputFile that needed to target the original file being incorrectly
changed to safeOutputFile.
Provide a create package for the clusterio npm org which gathers the
necessary details to install a working cluster either as standalone or
as separate nodes.
