Recommended action: Review the listed packages, then approve the ones you trust with `npm install-scripts approve <pkg>` (or `npm approve-scripts`), which writes pinned entries to package.json allowScripts; rerun install. For global installs/npx use --allow-scripts=<pkgs> or `npm config set allow-scripts=<pkgs> --location=user`. Option: Approve trusted packages into package.json allowScripts [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See record scope. Steps: 1. Run `npm install-scripts ls` to list unreviewed install scripts. 2. Run `npm install-scripts approve <pkg> [...]` (pinned to installed version by default) or `--all` after review. 3. Commit package.json and rerun `npm ci`/`npm install`. Expected: Command proceeds without the error. Option: For global installs or npx, pass --allow-scripts [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See record scope. Steps: 1. `npm install -g --allow-scripts=<pkg1>,<pkg2> <pkg>` 2. or persist: `npm config set allow-scripts=<pkgs> --location=user` Expected: Command proceeds without the error. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
