Research direction

Start with parent inventory #445, then review #415 and the open or blocked upgrade PRs #421, #413, #432, and #444 to choose the Gatsby-to-Next.js migration or coordinated Gatsby upgrade. Done means the selected implementing PR(s) are linked, Cluster B warnings disappear on a clean install, and build/test CI stays green on Node 18.

Description

Summary

Most remaining install deprecations come from the Gatsby 2 / webpack 4 stack ([email protected] and plugins), not from app source. Examples:

  • urix / resolve-url (webpack4 → micromatch → snapdragon → source-map-resolve)
  • [email protected]
  • @hapi/joi@15 and related @hapi/* (gatsby + workbox via gatsby-plugin-offline)
  • [email protected] (webpack-dev-server@3)
  • old rimraf / glob@7 / core-js@2 / [email protected] / uuid@3 under Gatsby tooling
  • older npmlog via sharp under gatsby-plugin-manifest

Leaf-level overrides will not sustainably clear this set.

Parent inventory: #445 (Cluster B).

Recommended paths (in order of preference)

  1. Long-term: complete #415 (Gatsby → Next.js) — removes the entire cluster.
  2. Medium-term: coordinated Gatsby major upgrade (see open/blocked PRs #421, #413, #432, #444) with matching plugin majors.
  3. Avoid: one-off overrides for every deprecated leaf package.

Acceptance criteria

  • Choose path 1 or 2 and link the implementing PR(s)
  • After landing, Cluster B warnings from #445 are gone on a clean install
  • Build/test CI remains green on Node 18
