Description

The SDK uses packages with deprecated dependencies.

It uses tough-cookie v4 as a dependency which still uses punycode, which causes the deprecation error in node:

"(node:2) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The punycode module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
(Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)
"

Punycode was removed from tough-cookie in v5, so the SDK needs updating to use the newer versions.

Research direction

Start by locating the SDK's dependency manifests and the tough-cookie v4 dependency, then inspect how the package is resolved in Node.js. Update the dependency path to a version without punycode and run the project's existing checks. Done means the SDK no longer emits the reported DEP0040 warning.
