Description
Motivation
webpack-dev-server has a lot of dependencies (https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/blob/master/package.json#L47-L74). If/when this package is upgraded to Node.js v20, we should be able to reduce the dependency count significantly.
Proposal Description
Examples of packages that can be removed/replaced are:
chokidar:node:fs'swatchcolorette:node:util'sstyleTextcompression:node:zlibws:WebSocket- etc
Expected Deliverables
No response
Skills Needed
Node.js, WebSockets, Express

Research direction
Start with package.json lines 47-74 and review the current webpack-dev-server dependency list against the Node.js v20 APIs named in the proposal. Assess the listed replacements, then verify that the selected dependencies are removed or replaced and the dependency count is reduced without changing the intended server behavior.
