[saurabharch]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• package.json
• yarn.lock

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

Code Review

This pull request, generated by Snyk, aims to fix a security vulnerability by upgrading @angular/common. However, it only upgrades this single package from version 5.2.9 to 19.2.16, while leaving all other Angular packages at version 5. This significant version mismatch will break the project. Angular packages must be kept at the same major version. A full migration of all @angular/* packages and their dependencies is required, which is a substantial effort involving code and configuration changes beyond this automated PR.

[gemini-code-assist]

This change introduces a massive version mismatch between Angular packages. Upgrading only @angular/common from version 5 to 19 while leaving other @angular/* packages at version 5 will break the application.

Angular packages are designed to be used together and should have the same major version. To fix this, you need to upgrade all Angular-related packages to a compatible version.

For example, you should update your dependencies and devDependencies to something like this:

"dependencies": {
  "@angular/animations": "^19.2.16",
  "@angular/common": "^19.2.16",
  "@angular/compiler": "^19.2.16",
  "@angular/core": "^19.2.16",
  "@angular/forms": "^19.2.16",
  "@angular/platform-browser": "^19.2.16",
  "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^19.2.16",
  "@angular/platform-server": "^19.2.16",
  "@angular/router": "^19.2.16",
  ...
},
"devDependencies": {
  "@angular/cli": "~19.2.0",
  "@angular/compiler-cli": "^19.2.16",
  "@angular/language-service": "^19.2.16",
  ...
}

Please note that a major upgrade from Angular 5 to 19 will likely require significant code changes to address breaking changes in the Angular framework, its dependencies (like RxJS), and the build tools.
