Description
This may be coming from `lib/vendor/pdfkit.js` but I am not sure
```
> yarn seed
yarn run v1.21.1
$ knex seed:run --cwd api/src/db
Working directory changed to ~/repos/scoreboard/api/src/db
Using environment: development
(node:10453) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Run `yarn seed` to reproduce the deprecation warning, then inspect `lib/vendor/pdfkit.js` and trace whether it is responsible. Done means identifying the source of the warning and updating the relevant code so the seed command no longer emits it.
