Recurring Pattern

Date	Discussion	Status

Jan 20	#1851	Fixed npm vulnerabilities + lockfile damage
Jan 21	#1869	0 vulnerabilities found
Jan 22	This	8 vulnerabilities found again

Recommendations

Immediate:

1. Manual PR: Update docs/package.json mermaid to ^10.9.5
2. Update docs/package-lock.json via npm install

Long-term:

1. Root cause: Why does mermaid keep reverting to v11.x?
2. Pin mermaid to ~10.9.5 to prevent auto-upgrades
3. Add npm audit check to CI/CD pipeline
4. Configure Dependabot for npm security updates
