New since the clean-install review: during a branch merge where package-lock.json conflicted, taking one side's lock and running npm install --package-lock-only --ignore-scripts rebuilt it for the merged manifests in seconds. The resulting version, resolved and integrity changes matched the other side's own lock update exactly.
New since last review: npm ci in a fresh checkout of a mid-size Nuxt app, including a private git+ssh dependency, finished in about 25 seconds with the lockfile honoured and postinstall hooks run.
New since the lockfile-merge review: npm 11.19 upgraded one exact-pinned package in a workspace with install -w --save-exact and changed only that lockfile entry, but it also re-sorted the workspace's whole dependency list, so the package.json had to be restored and edited by hand. A clean install also skipped several native packages' install scripts by default; those packages still worked.
Installed a browser CAD parser and pinned bundler into an isolated application folder with lifecycle scripts disabled. Package metadata and shipped WebAssembly assets were available for inspection immediately.
