Research direction

Start by reproducing the warnings with azure/bicep-deploy@v2, then inspect the action's TypeScript runtime and dependency tree to identify the source of punycode and url.parse usage. No files or tests are named; done means the action runs without these deprecation warnings and its relevant checks pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When using azure/bicep-deploy@v2:

(node:2313) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
(node:2313) [DEP0169] DeprecationWarning: `url.parse()` behavior is not standardized and prone to errors that have security implications. Use the WHATWG URL API instead. CVEs are not issued for `url.parse()` vulnerabilities.
