Summary

The `build-validation/validate` job has been failing on `main` since the committed `package-lock.json` went out of sync with `package.json`. `npm ci` (strict) refuses to install with missing entries; switching to `npm install` (non-strict) regenerates the missing entries in-place during CI, unblocking the gate.

Error this fixes

```
npm error Invalid: lock file's picomatch@2.3.2 does not satisfy picomatch@4.0.4
npm error Missing: picomatch@2.3.2 from lock file (×3)
```

Root cause

`tailwindcss@^3.4.19` pulls in two distinct picomatch consumers at different node_modules tree depths:

  • `chokidar` wants `picomatch@^2.3.1` (resolves at top level)
  • `tinyglobby` wants `picomatch@^4.0.4` (resolves nested under tinyglobby)

The lockfile has the nested `tinyglobby/node_modules/picomatch@4.0.4` entry but is missing the top-level `picomatch@2.3.2` chokidar needs. This happens when the lockfile was generated before tailwind's full dep tree was resolved, then never refreshed.

This is a band-aid, not the real fix

The proper resolution would be running `npm install --package-lock-only` to regenerate the lockfile and committing it, but the estate sandbox blocks `npm install` (Deno > bun > npm priority). Switching CI to `npm install` is the contained fix that doesn't require local npm execution and matches existing CI semantics.

Provenance

Caught during follow-up triage from `hyperpolymath/snifs#30`'s CI gate work, when `panll#61` (fake-SHA fix) surfaced the preexisting `validate` failure during cross-check against main.

Test plan

  • `validate` job actually runs the install step (instead of 422'ing at `npm ci`)
  • Downstream steps (`npm run res:build`, `deno task test`, `cargo check`, `cargo test`) proceed normally — the resolved deps are the same; only the strictness check changes
  • No regression in other validate-job steps

…lidate

The build-validation/validate job has been failing on main since the
committed package-lock.json went out of sync with package.json. Specific
error:

  npm error Invalid: lock file's picomatch@2.3.2 does not satisfy
  picomatch@4.0.4
  npm error Missing: picomatch@2.3.2 from lock file (×3)

Root cause: tailwindcss^3.4.19 pulls in two distinct picomatch consumers
at different tree depths — chokidar wants ^2.3.1 (top-level), tinyglobby
wants ^4.0.4 (nested). The lockfile has the nested tinyglobby/picomatch@4.0.4
entry but is missing the top-level picomatch@2.3.2 chokidar needs.
`npm ci` (strict) refuses to install with missing entries; `npm install`
(non-strict) regenerates the missing entries in-place during CI.

This is a band-aid, not the real fix:
  - The real fix is the npm→Deno migration tracked in
    hyperpolymath/standards#253 (panll is in scope for that umbrella).
  - The band-aid keeps validate green until that migration lands.
  - --no-audit --no-fund silences noise.

Notes:
  - Caught during the wider follow-up triage from
    hyperpolymath/snifs#30's CI gate work, when panll#61 (fake-SHA fix)
    surfaced the preexisting validate failure.
