Upgrade fast-json-patch to patched version via override

[Copilot]

The project pulled in vulnerable fast-json-patch (prototype pollution ≤3.1.0) transitively via ajv-cli. This refactor forces the patched 3.1.1 release to close the exposure.

How the feature works? / How did you fix the issue?

• Dependency override: Added a root npm override to pin fast-json-patch to 3.1.1, covering the ajv-cli transitive chain.
• Lock refresh: Regenerated package-lock.json to lock the new version and record the override.

Example override:

{
  "overrides": {
    "nth-check": "^2.1.1",
    "fast-json-patch": "3.1.1"
  }
}

Check list
