Is "bundleDependencies": false valid?

[aeschli]

node 12.13.0

mkdir test
cd test
npm init -y
npm install cheerio

After that, all packages.json files in node_modules directory have bundleDependencies: false.
But not the main package.json of the project in root directory.

https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#bundleddependencies does not mention that bundleddependencies can also be boolean, nor the schema at https://github.com/SchemaStore/schemastore/blob/master/src/schemas/json/package.json

Should the schema be updated?

Looking into this in schemastore, it seems like npm allows for any falsy value for bundleDependencies, not just explicitly false, though that is what npm itself inserts into installed package.json files. The usage of it roughly follows these three patterns in the handful of places:

1. if (!pkg.bundledDependencies)
2. let bundled = pkg.bundledDependencies; if (!Array.isArray(bundled)) bundled = [];
3. let bundled = pkg.bundledDependencies || [];
