Bumps tar from 6.2.1 to 7.5.19.

Changelog

Sourced from tar's changelog.

Changelog

7.5

  • Added zstd compression support.
  • Consistent TOCTOU behavior in sync t.list
  • Only read from ustar block if not specified in Pax
  • Fix sync tar.list when file size reduces while reading
  • Sanitize absolute linkpaths properly
  • Prevent writing hardlink entries to the archive ahead of their file target

7.4

  • Deprecate onentry in favor of onReadEntry for clarity.

7.3

  • Add onWriteEntry option

7.2

  • DRY the command definitions into a single makeCommand method, and update the type signatures to more appropriately infer the return type from the options and arguments provided.

7.1

  • Update minipass to v7.1.0
  • Update the type definitions of write() and end() methods on Unpack and Parser classes to be compatible with the NodeJS.WritableStream type in the latest versions of @types/node.

7.0

  • Drop support for node <18
  • Rewrite in TypeScript, provide ESM and CommonJS hybrid interface
  • Add tree-shake friendly exports, like import('tar/create') and import('tar/read-entry') to get individual functions or classes.
  • Add chmod option that defaults to false, and deprecate noChmod. That is, reverse the default option regarding explicitly setting file system modes to match tar entry settings.
  • Add processUmask option to avoid having to call process.umask() when chmod: true (or noChmod: false) is set.

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Major-version tar upgrade on the publish/archive path; low code churn but possible API or default-behavior differences versus v6, and @types/tar remains on v6 types.

Overview
Dependency bump for the Block Protocol CLI: tar is pinned from 6.2.1 to 7.5.19 in libs/blockprotocol/package.json, with yarn.lock updated so this package resolves to tar v7 (new transitive deps such as @isaacs/fs-minipass, chownr@^3, minizlib@^3, yallist@^5) while other workspaces can still pull tar@6.2.1.

This is a major upgrade (Node ≥18, TS rewrite, default chmod behavior change, API/type tweaks). The only in-repo consumer is publish.js, which uses tar.c() to build the block publish tarball—behavior should stay the same, but v7 includes security hardening (path sanitization, decompression ratio limits, PAX parsing fixes) relevant to untrusted archives.
