Code Review

This pull request from Snyk upgrades date-fns from ^2.16.1 to ^2.30.0. This is a beneficial upgrade as it patches potential security vulnerabilities in older versions.

I've reviewed the code and the library's changelog. The current usage of date-fns in the project is minimal and appears to be unaffected by this upgrade. However, the jump across 24 versions introduces a risk of subtle regressions. I've added a comment with a suggestion to pin the dependency version to improve build stability and mitigate this risk.

Overall, with the suggested change, the PR is good to merge.

[gemini-code-assist]

This change introduces a significant version jump for date-fns, from 2.16.1 to 2.30.0. While this is a minor version upgrade according to SemVer, skipping 24 releases can introduce subtle, undocumented breaking changes or performance regressions that can be hard to debug.

To ensure reproducible builds and prevent future updates via npm install from introducing unexpected issues, it's a good practice to pin the version after such a large upgrade. This will lock the dependency to this specific version, providing greater stability.
