This change configures pnpm's `minimumReleaseAge` setting to 1 day (1440 minutes). This is a security measure to mitigate dependency chain attacks, where malicious actors publish a new version of a dependency with malicious code and then trick users into updating to it before it can be discovered and reported. By delaying the adoption of new releases, we reduce the window of opportunity for such attacks. The list of excluded packages contains trusted and frequently updated dependencies from the Angular team, which are considered safe to use without this delay.
This change introduces a 1-day delay for all npm dependency updates to mitigate the risk of dependency chain attacks. This provides a window to detect and react to malicious publications. The cross-repo Angular dependencies are excluded from this rule as they are trusted sources.
