Maintenance
- info:Dependency ManagementThe project has a package.json for its scripts, but it lacks a lockfile, indicating potential for dependency drift and lack of strict version pinning.
Execution
- warning:Pinned dependenciesThe `package.json` for scripts is present but lacks a lockfile (`package-lock.json` or `yarn.lock`), meaning dependencies are not pinned, which can lead to execution instability.
