escalade: Ascend Parent Directories

escalade is a minimalistic and performant utility designed for synchronously or asynchronously traversing up parent directories to locate a specific file or directory. It continuously executes a provided callback function for each directory in the ancestry chain until the callback returns a truthy value, at which point the absolute path to the found item is returned, or until the system root directory is reached. The current stable version is `3.2.0`, with releases occurring a few times a year for patches, minor features, and ecosystem compatibility updates (e.g., Deno support, TypeScript resolution fixes). Its primary differentiators are its extremely small footprint (183-210 bytes gzipped) and its clear separation into synchronous and asynchronous execution modes, catering to a wide range of Node.js and Deno environments. It strictly searches direct parent directories and does not explore sibling directories of parents.
