Merge Risk: High

This major version upgrade introduces significant breaking changes.

Highlights:

  • Node.js Requirement: Support for Node.js versions below 18 has been dropped. [1]
  • Module System: The package was rewritten in TypeScript and now provides a hybrid ESM/CommonJS interface. This may break require() calls that expect a default export. [1, 10]
  • Behavioral Change: The chmod option now defaults to false, meaning file modes from the archive are no longer applied by default during extraction. [1]

Source: node-tar CHANGELOG
Recommendation: Verify your Node.js version is 18+ and update any require('tar') or import tar from 'tar' statements to use named imports (e.g., import { extract } from 'tar').
