Description

Doing npm audit fix breaks cubejs-server. I have tried this on cubejs-server versions 0.28.58 and 0.28.61. Error message when starting cubejs-server

/Users//Documents//cubejs/node_modules/cli-ux/lib/styled/table.js:314 })(table = exports.table || (exports.table = {})); ^ TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'string') at /Users//Documents//cubejs/node_modules/cli-ux/lib/styled/table.js:285:34 at Object.

Research direction
Investigate the cli ux package update caused by npm audit fix. The error occurs in table.js at the 'string' property, suggesting an API change. Identify the exact version change that introduced the breaking change and propose pinning the compatible version or updating usage. Check if a fix has been merged in cli ux upstream.
