Code Review

This pull request from Snyk upgrades urllib to v4.0.0 to resolve the 'Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling' security vulnerability. This is a major version update, which can introduce breaking changes. My review of lib/init_command.js suggests that the current usage of urllib is compatible with the new version. A key breaking change in urllib v4 is the dropping of automatic support for HTTP_PROXY environment variables, which aligns with a change already made in egg-init v3.0.0. The upgrade appears safe to merge.

[gemini-code-assist]

Upgrading urllib to a new major version (v4.0.0) is a significant change that addresses the Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability. urllib v4 is a rewrite based on undici and drops support for Node.js versions below 16, which is compatible with this project's engines requirement. It also no longer automatically reads HTTP_PROXY environment variables, which is consistent with this project's decision to drop proxy support (as noted in the v3.0.0 changelog). The existing API calls in lib/init_command.js seem compatible. While this is a breaking change, it appears to be safe in the context of this project.
