Code Review
This pull request upgrades node-pre-gyp to fix a security vulnerability. The upgrade is a major version jump for a critical build dependency. I've suggested pinning the dependency version to prevent potential issues from future patch releases, given its role as a bundledDependency which is crucial for the installation process.

Given that node-pre-gyp is a bundledDependency and is critical for the installation process of this package, it would be safer to pin the version to 0.17.0 instead of using a tilde (~). This will prevent any unexpected issues from future patch releases of node-pre-gyp and ensure a more stable installation experience for users.
