Description

Our internal security team found two high-level warnings for the Live Preview extension. Both are related to "copy-webpack-plugin" v.11.0.0.

They are suggesting that this dependency be upgraded to v14.0.0 for my development team before using the extension. Is this update on your roadmap or will it be any time soon?

Research direction

Locate the extension's dependency manifest and build entry points, then inspect how copy-webpack-plugin v11.0.0 is used. Update it to v14.0.0 and run the available extension build or checks; done means the build still passes and the two reported dependency warnings are resolved.
