Lockfiles and npm ci discipline

March 31, 2026Kuba Gretzky

Kuba Gretzky pushes strict lockfile usage, saying package-lock.json is the only version locking enforcement mechanism and recommending npm ci over npm install.

It is the ONLY version locking enforcement mechanism.
Use npm ci instead of npm install.
