Bumped vulnerable npm deps to fixed versions via 'npm audit fix --package-lock-only'; added minimal package.json overrides to force serialize-javascript@7.0.5, uuid@13.0.1, and js-yaml@4.2.0 (transitive deps requiring major bumps). npm audit now reports 0 vulnerabilities.

Code Review
This pull request introduces global dependency overrides in package.json for serialize-javascript, uuid, and js-yaml, resulting in numerous package updates in package-lock.json. The feedback points out that applying global overrides for major version upgrades (such as js-yaml and uuid) is highly risky because breaking changes can cause runtime crashes in transitive dependencies. It is recommended to scope these overrides to specific parent packages to ensure stability.

Applying global overrides for major version upgrades (such as js-yaml v3 to v4, and uuid v8 to v13) is highly risky. Major version bumps often introduce breaking changes (for example, js-yaml v4 completely removed safeLoad(), which is heavily used by packages expecting v3 like older versions of gray-matter). Forcing these upgrades globally can cause unexpected runtime crashes in other transitive dependencies that also use these libraries.
To minimize the blast radius and ensure runtime stability, it is highly recommended to scope the overrides to the specific parent packages that require them.

Security: dependency remediation (Vuln Ops Grade F)
This PR remediates CVE findings surfaced by the Vuln Ops pipeline's live Trivy scan of
difflabai/protocols@main(scan 2026-06-26, run919d9a1f).31 findings addressed by upgrading the affected (mostly transitive) dependencies to their fixed releases: 1 critical, 13 high, 16 medium, 1 low.
