Original: CI is the wrong place to first hear about your npm dependencies

Short summary

CI discovers npm vulnerabilities too late, after code is merged and context is lost. Implement pre-commit hooks, mandatory PR checks, and branch-protection policies to catch issues earlier. The structural fix is shifting from post-merge detection to pre-merge prevention.

  • •CI catches vulnerabilities after merge, when it's too late to fix in context
  • •Use pre-commit hooks, PR checks, and branch-protection policies for earlier detection
  • •Transitive dependencies buried in package graphs require systematic prevention, not reactive scanning
