@d35ha you could have edited the existent issue first comment instead of creating a new one (to avoid duplication). You can see the log of the automation here: https://github.com/mandiant/VM-Packages/actions/runs/11141313482/job/30961921733 It is failing because of:

ERROR : npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.

This is leading to an error when trying to create the package:
