Research direction

Reproduce the warning with Node v14.16.1, Sails 1.4.3, and `npm install sails -g`, then inspect the installed dependency tree to locate which package brings in uuid@3.0.1. Check the npm warning and linked Math.random() reference for the upgrade requirement; done means installation no longer reports this deprecated uuid version without breaking Sails.
