Dependency Bump Evaluation

Version change: 7.5.6 -> 7.5.16 (patch)
Semver bump type: patch (10 patch versions)

Changes:

• 7.5.14: Stricter protection against hardlinks preempting their targets (security hardening)
• 7.5.15: Fix regression in pending links detection (bug fix)
• 7.5.16: Do not apply PAX header fields to meta entries (security fix)
• Various test and dependency updates

Breaking changes: None

Security concerns: None — the changes are security hardening. The prepare script flagged by dependabot (tshy && bash scripts/build.sh) is a standard TypeScript build step that only runs in development mode, not when installed from the npm registry. Maintainer (isaacs) is the original author of node-tar and creator of npm.

Impact on codebase: tar is listed as a direct dependency in package.json but has zero imports or API usage anywhere in the codebase. No code paths are affected by these changes.

Recommendation: SAFE TO MERGE
