Summary
ignore-scripts=trueto.npmrcso npm stops running postinstall scripts from dependencies automatically — mitigates the recent wave of compromised/malicious npm packages that abuse install-time hooks.setupnpm script as the explicit allowlist for packages this project does need to build:npm rebuild esbuild(Vite's native binary) andhusky(git hooks via the rootpreparescript, which is also blocked byignore-scripts).CLAUDE.mdunder a new Security section.Test plan
rm -rf node_modules && npm installcompletes without executing dependency postinstall scripts.npm run setuprebuildsesbuildand installs husky git hooks successfully.npm run buildsucceeds afternpm run setup(verifies esbuild binary is usable).git committriggers husky hooks (verifies husky was installed).
