 - Address dependency vulnerabilities by upgrading packages: `@azure/ms-rest-js` to 2.x, `axios` to 1.x, `tedious` to 18.x, and `@azure/storage-blob`/`@azure/storage-queue` to 12.28.x/12.27.x.

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Maintenance updates and API version enhancements and
 enhanced error handling for the Blob and Queue services (#2675)

* Updated npm package fixes
* Updated changelog
* Bump morgan and refresh audit changelog note
* Bump service API versions to 2026-06-06 and update changelog
* Bump axios/esbuild and update constants
* Fix #2672: Handle GC startup errors during server initialization
Fixes race condition where GC error during startup would attempt to close server while still in 'Starting' state, resulting in 'Cannot close server in status Starting' error.

Changes:
- Modified BlobServer and QueueServer error handlers to wait for server to reach 'Running' state before attempting close
- Added timeout logic (up to 5 seconds) to wait for server startup completion
- Gracefully handles case where server cannot transition to Running state
- Allows Azurite to recover when encountering errors processing legacy persisted data from previous versions

Fixes: #2672

* Add comprehensive test suite for issue #2672
- Added 4 test files with 10 total test cases covering:
  * Unit tests for GC error handler state machine (3 tests)
  * Blob server startup error recovery scenarios (3 tests)
  * Upgrade regression tests (2 tests)
  * Queue server startup error recovery scenarios (2 tests)

- Tests validate:
  * Fresh start scenarios without persisted data
  * Graceful error handling during GC initialization in Starting state
  * Concurrent startup operations
  * Data persistence across upgrade scenarios
  * Multi-container and multi-blob scenarios
  * Recovery from timeout conditions

- All 777 tests passing (including 10 new tests)
- No regressions in existing tests
- Full TypeScript compilation clean

 ## Upcoming Release
 
+General:
+
+- Applied npm audit fix to updates across multiple dependencies to address security vulnerabilities and maintenance updates.
+- Bumped the default Blob, Queue, and Table service API version to `2026-06-06`.
+- Added support for service API versions `2026-04-06` and `2026-02-06` for Blob, Queue, and Table endpoints.
+
+Blob:
+
+- Fixed issue #2672 startup failures with legacy persisted data by adding backward-compatible restore for persisted `contentMD5` formats.
+
+Queue:
+
+- Fixed issue #2672 startup race condition by avoiding GC-triggered `close()` calls while server status is `Starting`.

@@ -22,7 +36,6 @@ General:
 - Fix Windows SEA executable build producing a corrupted/bad `.exe` by stripping the Authenticode signature from the copied Node.js binary before injecting the SEA blob via `postject`.
 - Replace the hardcoded user delegation signing key literal with a deterministic internal signing seed to avoid VS Code extension publish secret-scan blocks while preserving stable user delegation SAS behavior.

 Blob:
 
 - Remove the default value for the `BlobSequenceNumber` parameter in the Swagger definition.
