🛑 Security Vulnerability: The PR description mentions updating from "0.21.4" but the actual change is from "0.21.1" to "1.12.0". This is a major version upgrade that addresses critical security vulnerabilities in axios versions prior to 1.6.01. However, this major version upgrade introduces breaking changes that could affect the application's functionality.

The axios import path in src/index.js uses a relative path to node_modules which is problematic. With the major version upgrade, you should update the import to use the standard module resolution: import axios from 'axios';. This will ensure compatibility with the new axios version and follow best practices.

Missing package-lock.json file creates dependency management risks. After upgrading axios to a major version, you should generate a package-lock.json file by running npm install. This ensures consistent dependency resolution across different environments and prevents potential security vulnerabilities from transitive dependencies.

Consider testing the axios upgrade thoroughly. The jump from 0.21.1 to 1.12.0 includes breaking changes in error handling, request/response interceptors, and TypeScript definitions. Verify that the CO2 Signal API calls in displayCarbonUsage() function still work correctly with the new axios version, particularly the error handling logic.
