Pull request overview
This PR upgrades the runtime image’s npm to a patched release (bringing in a non-vulnerable bundled tar) and extends both image validation and the automated Docker dependency updater to track the npm pin moving forward.
Changes:
- Pin and install
npm@12.0.1during the Docker image build. - Add an environment test asserting npm’s bundled
taris at least7.5.19. - Run the Docker dependency updater daily and include
NPM_VERSIONin its probe/report/pinning logic.
