@babel/plugin-proposal-optional-chaining

Registry deprecationdanger

The entire package is deprecated because optional chaining is now part of ECMAScript, and npm explicitly says the plugin is no longer maintained. The stated replacement is @babel/plugin-transform-optional-chaining, making this release unfit for a new dependency.

Release historycaution

The package has had no release in over 3 years, after 70 releases with a historically regular median interval of about 12 days. The deprecation explains the stoppage but confirms that this release will not receive package-level maintenance.

Repo package mentioncaution

The linked repository name does not match this package and its README does not mention the package, so ownership of this sub-package is less directly documented. The Babel organization and matching namespace provide some context but do not fully remove the transparency gap.

Workflow auditcaution

All 13 workflows were analyzed, but 119 of 120 action references are unpinned, which weakens build reproducibility. The audit also reports high-confidence template-injection findings and a trusted-publishing finding, although no untrusted checkout or script-injection sink was found.
