	Validate the integrity hash for the new socket.io dependency Consider reviewing the integrity hashes for all new dependencies to ensure they match the expected values. server/package-lock.json [16] +"integrity": "sha512-9BCxFwvbGg/RsZK9tjXd8s4UcwR0MWeFQ1XEKIQVVvAGJyINdrqKMcTRyLoK8Rse1GjzLV9cwjWV1olXRWEXVA==", - Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: Validating integrity hashes is essential for security, ensuring that the package has not been tampered with, making this a significant suggestion.	8
