🤖 Augment PR Summary

Summary: Updates the npm dependency body-parser to a newer patch release that includes security and correctness fixes.

Changes:

• Bumps body-parser from ^1.18.3 to ^1.20.6 in package.json.
• Pulls in upstream fixes including improved limit option validation and a security advisory fix (GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6 / CVE noted in the PR).
• Updates the dependency lockfile accordingly (see yarn.lock in the PR).

Technical Notes:

• No application code changes; impact should be limited to request body parsing behavior and validation.
• Upgrading may cause previously-invalid limit values to throw rather than being silently ignored, which is safer but could surface misconfiguration.
