Research direction
Read the linked announcement and Reddit discussion to understand the deprecation and available alternatives (e.g., wasm bindgen cli, trunk). Evaluate which alternative best fits Graphite's build workflow. Update the build configuration files (likely in build.rs, Cargo.toml, or scripts) to replace wasm pack, and ensure the WebAssembly build still functions correctly. Check the repository's CI/CD pipeline for any references to wasm pack that need updating.
