✅ Changes Applied

I've updated the code based on your feedback:

The CodeRabbit review identified that while react-router is correctly pinned to 7.18.0 in the overrides block (to fix CVE-2026-55685), the direct react-router-dom dependency still specifies ^7.8.2, which theoretically allows resolving to the vulnerable range. The fix is twofold:

1. Update react-router-dom in dependencies from ^7.8.2 → ^7.18.0 so the minimum declared version is the patched one.
2. Add react-router-dom: "7.18.0" to the overrides block alongside the existing react-router override, ensuring the patched version is enforced transitively for all consumers as well.
