hawk is deprecated, replaced by @hapi/hawk, but anyway we're currently using the almost-latest version of request, which [[https://github.com/request/request/commit/a6741d415aba31cd01e9c4544c96f84ea6ed11e3#diff-aebcbf97ec318328efd650f5aa2f7b11|since 2.87.0 has a local version of hawk]] that it is somehow not using?
