Bumps commander from 9.4.1 to 14.0.0.

Release notes

Sourced from commander's releases.

v14.0.0

Added

• support for groups of options and commands in the help using low-level .helpGroup() on Option and Command, and higher -level .optionsGroup() and .commandsGroup() which can be used in chaining way to specify group title for following option s/commands (#2328)
• support for unescaped negative numbers as option-arguments and command-arguments (#2339)
• TypeScript: add parseArg property to Argument class (#2359)

Fixed

• remove bogus leading space in help when option has default value but not a description (#2348)
• .configureOutput() now makes copy of settings instead of modifying in-place, fixing side-effects (#2350)

Changed

• Breaking: Commander 14 requires Node.js v20 or higher
• internal refactor of Help class adding .formatItemList() and .groupItems() methods (#2328)

v13.1.0

Added

• support a pair of long option flags to allow a memorable shortened flag, like .option('--ws, --workspace') (#2312)

v13.0.0

Added

• support multiple calls to .parse() with default settings (#2299)
• add .saveStateBeforeParse() and .restoreStateBeforeParse() for use by subclasses (#2299)
• style routines like styleTitle() to add color to help using .configureHelp() or Help subclass (#2251)
• color related support in .configureOutput() for getOutHasColors(), getErrHasColors(), and stripColor() (#2251)
• Help property for minWidthToWrap (#2251)
• Help methods for displayWidth(), boxWrap(), preformatted() et al (#2251)

Changed

• Breaking: excess command-arguments cause an error by default, see migration tips (#2223)
• Breaking: throw during Option construction for unsupported option flags, like multiple characters after single - (#2270)
• Breaking: throw on multiple calls to .parse() if storeOptionsAsProperties: true (#2299)
• TypeScript: include implicit this in parameters for action handler callback (#2197)

Deleted

• Breaking: Help.wrap() refactored into formatItem() and boxWrap() (#2251)

Migration Tips

Excess command-arguments

It is now an error for the user to specify more command-arguments than are expected. (allowExcessArguments is now false by default.)

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.
