Code Review

This pull request upgrades winston to v3.18.3 to resolve a security vulnerability. This is a large version jump, and I've noted a potential breaking change for TypeScript users in a specific comment.

While this PR is a good security improvement, I've noticed that several other dependencies are significantly outdated and have known vulnerabilities, some of them critical (e.g., axios, uuid). I strongly recommend auditing and upgrading other dependencies in separate PRs to improve the project's overall security and stability.

"source-map-support": "^0.5.11",
"uuid": "^3.3.2",
"winston": "^3.2.1"
"winston": "^3.18.3"

This winston upgrade to v3.18.3 includes a breaking change introduced in v3.15.0: the LogCallback type was removed from the TypeScript definitions. This may cause build failures if other parts of the codebase use this type. According to the release notes, this callback was not being executed anyway, so the fix would be to remove any usage of this type.
