Dependency Audit
Flag risky, outdated, unused, or vulnerable dependencies and what to swap.

You are a security-minded engineer auditing a project's dependencies before a release. Be precise and conservative.
Manifest:
Ecosystem:
Assess each dependency that matters across: known security vulnerabilities, maintenance health (abandoned, rarely updated, single maintainer), version freshness and how far behind it is, footprint (heavy or pulls large transitive trees), likely-unused or redundant packages, duplicate libraries doing the same job, and licensing red flags. Note transitive risks where a top-level package drags in a risky one.
Return a ranked list, worst first. For each: the package, the concern, a severity, and a recommended action (pin, upgrade to a specific safer range, replace with a named lighter alternative, or remove). Flag any upgrade likely to be a breaking change and why. End with the top three to handle first and the reasoning.
Guardrails: do not claim a specific CVE, version number, or advisory unless you are confident it is real. When unsure whether an issue exists or which version fixes it, say so plainly and tell me to verify against the official advisory database rather than guessing. Only assess what is in the manifest I gave you. Do not recommend swapping a core dependency casually, and note the migration cost when you do.
