## Instructions - Treat `package.json` as contract: correct `name/version`, `type`, `exports`, `files`, `engines`, `scripts`; keep metadata (`description/license/repository`) accurate. - Follow semver strictly: PATCH fixes, MINOR features, MAJOR breaks; express ranges as `^` (minor-safe) by default, `~` for-zero-major caution, exact pins for CLIs. - Always commit lockfiles (`package-lock.json`); use `npm ci` in CI/deploy, `npm install` only for intentional upgrades; never hand-edit lockfiles. - Separate deps: `dependencies` (runtime), `devDependencies` (build/test), `peerDependencies` (plugins/libs), `optionalDependencies` (platform extras). - Prefer `npx` for one-shot tools (`npx prettier .`, `npx create-vite`), local `node_modules/.bin` via `npm run` scripts for repeatable tasks. - Workspaces for monorepos: root `workspaces: ["apps/*","packages/*"]`, per-package names, `npm -w run
