Node.js
A CI pipeline uses npm install, and a build unexpectedly starts failing after a teammate manually edited package.json's version range without running npm install locally first. What would using npm ci instead have done differently?
A
Nothing different — same outcome either way
B
npm ci would have failed IMMEDIATELY with a clear mismatch error, rather than silently resolving a new version and potentially masking the actual issue
C
npm ci would have automatically fixed the package.json
D
npm ci doesn't work in CI environments at all
