+# ── sharp 0.34.5 (transitive, dev-only via miniflare) — libvips CVEs, fixed in 0.35.0 ──────
+# WHY IGNORED: sharp 0.34.5 inherits libvips image-decoder CVEs (CVE-2026-33327/33328/
+# 35590/35591). sharp is a TRANSITIVE, DEV-ONLY dependency of miniflare (local dev server /
+# test runtime) — it is not part of the deployed Cloudflare Worker, and the vuln class needs
+# decoding an untrusted image, which the dev toolchain does not do. No upstream fix is
+# reachable: miniflare pins `sharp: ^0.34.5` (`>=0.34.5 <0.35.0`) and even its latest release
+# still ships 0.34.5, so forcing 0.35.0 would require a pnpm override outside miniflare's
+# declared range.
+# REMOVE WHEN: miniflare adopts sharp >= 0.35.0 (tracked upstream); the ignoreUntil date
+# resurfaces this if it lingers.
