Installation

npm install   # or npm ci

This project has built-in supply chain attack protection. When you run npm install:

1. All packages install with scripts disabled (via .npmrc)
2. Security check runs against OSV + GitHub Advisory databases (109+ known threats)
3. Only trusted packages (esbuild, nx, husky, etc.) get their scripts executed

If a malicious package is detected, installation is blocked and node_modules is deleted.
