Deprecated dependencies
Installing the latest version of the package gives two deprecation notices:
PS> npm -g install @electron/[email protected]
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported

Could you look at them? I think the 2nd one is straightforward to fix. Thanks!
Hey @crystalfp! We plan to bump glob and other dependencies once we're able to upgrade the minimum Node.js version and release the next major version of @electron/asar, see https://github.com/electron/asar/pull/332#issuecomment-2435407933 for details. This is a valid issue so I'll keep it open until we get around to it, just wanted to let you know about the current status.
FYI, you cannot apply a package.json override of glob to v9 or later, as glob now returns a Promise and the promisify wrapper fails when invoked.
Just posting this in case anyone makes the same mistake I did :)
(node:15148) [DEP0174] DeprecationWarning: Calling promisify on a function that returns a Promise is likely a mistake.
