Unnecessary js-base64 patch removed from codebase
A workaround patch for the js-base64 library that was causing CI flakiness has been removed after upgrading to a newer version that properly exports types.
The js-base64 library required a patch in older versions to properly expose TypeScript types. That patch—12 lines of configuration overrides in the monorepo—is no longer needed. The library has been bumped from version 3.7.2 to 3.7.8, which exports types correctly by default. Removing the patch simplifies dependency management and eliminates the flakiness it was introducing in CI pipelines. In the n8n monorepo, this change touches only the workspace configuration files, cleaning up the patches directory and updating the version catalog.
