Youssef Francis updated dependencies and project metadata for the mcndl13/SOEN-390-Mini-Capstone repository, focusing on improving security, compatibility, and build reliability. He refreshed the package.json file to align with the latest stable versions, ensuring that the Node.js and JavaScript build scripts remained compatible with current standards. This work addressed technical debt by reducing potential vulnerabilities and aligning the continuous integration pipeline with updated dependencies. Although the scope was limited to foundational maintenance rather than new features or bug fixes, Youssef’s efforts established a stable groundwork that supports future feature development and reduces risk in the project’s production environment.
