It updates the Webpack-related dependencies to their latest version:
webpack to 5.89.0
webpack-cli to 5.1.4
Because (a) it's always good to keep dependencies updated, (b) they both have been there for some months for now, with no new updates, so I guess the risk is low, and (c) apparently each contributor has been using their own (globally installed) version of Webpack, so in some way the current version didn't have a very strong implication.
I've also modified the webpack command (executed with npm run webpack), to use the self-contained webpack version, instead of using it globally, which again shouldn't have big implications, but it's probably safer and more consistent.
