              Use lockfiles
Use minimum release age gating
Disable postinstall hooks
Limit credentials of CI jobs, especially ones that eagerly update deps
Disable dep-updating features completely (at the network level if you can) when deploying to higher envs
Be skeptical of standalone CLIs — they often try to self-update, or bootstrap deps from npm, and don’t always use lockfiles to manage it
