[Feature]: upgrade chalk to v5.6.2

[jessica-srivastava99]

🚀 Feature Proposal

[Feature]: chalk was recently compromised with version: 5.6.1, We are upgrading all vulnerable packages and we need to upgrade it to 5.6.2 however you are still using ^4

Motivation

Since chalk 5.6.1 was a compromised package hence we need an upgrade

Example

No response

Pitch

As it is a dependent package

[wcr-karan]

This happens because chalk@5 exposes ESM entrypoints only, which cannot be loaded through require() inside Jest’s CommonJS modules.

Why This Cannot Be Upgraded Right Now

• Jest is not fully migrated to ESM internally.
• Several core packages (jest-runtime, jest-resolve, jest-core, jest-config, jest-circus, jest-snapshot, etc.) still require Chalk through CommonJS.
• Updating to Chalk v5 would require a large-scale Jest-wide ESM migration, which is outside the scope of a dependency bump.

Conclusion

Chalk v5 cannot be used until Jest's internal packages support ESM.
The dependency must remain on chalk@^4.1.2 for now.

Suggested Action

Mark this issue as blocked until Jest’s ESM migration progresses.

Note that only v5.6.1 was compromised, so v4 versions of Chalk are not vulnerable and don't need updating
