on Node.js NPM

Security release — all issues found via an internal audit. GHSA advisory filed after release.

• security: warn when a translation string combines escapeValue: false with interpolated variables inside a $t(key, { ... "{{var}}" ... }) nesting-options block. In that narrow combination, attacker-controlled string values containing " can break out of the JSON options literal and inject additional nesting options (e.g. redirect lng/ns). The default escapeValue: true configuration is unaffected because HTML-escaping neutralises the quote before JSON.parse. See the security docs for mitigation guidance (GHSA-TBD)
• security: apply regexEscape to unescapePrefix / unescapeSuffix on par with the other interpolation delimiters. Prevents ReDoS (catastrophic-backtracking) when a misconfigured delimiter contains regex metacharacters, and fixes silent breakage of the {{- var}} syntax when the delimiter contains characters like (, [, .
• security: strip CR/LF/NUL and other C0/C1 control characters from string log arguments to prevent log forging via user-controlled translation keys, language codes, namespaces, or interpolation variable names (CWE-117)
• chore: ignore .env* and *.pem/*.key files in .gitignore
