Recommended action: Opt in explicitly: set allow-git=root (only git deps declared in your own package.json) or allow-git=all in the project .npmrc (or pass --allow-git=root on the command). For tarball URLs use allow-remote similarly, or set replace-registry-host if your registry serves tarballs from another host. Option: Allow git deps declared by the root project [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See record scope. Steps: 1. Add `allow-git=root` (or `all` if transitive git deps are needed) to the project .npmrc, or pass `--allow-git=root`. 2. Rerun install. Expected: Command proceeds without the error. Option: Replace git/URL deps with registry versions [evidence: documented_workaround] Applies when: See record scope. Steps: 1. Publish or depend on a registry version instead of a git/tarball URL. Expected: Command proceeds without the error. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
