This is assuming that a package-lock.json file exists. Some projects (like most of mine) opt out of this because it adds maintainer burden for no tangible benefit, at least in the case of modules. It's definitely recommended for applications, but since package-lock.json doesn't get published to the registry there's really very little point to keeping it around.
That said, as far as I know (and I could totally be wrong!) you can still have unmet dependencies that wouldn't be caught between package-lock.json and package.json.
Indeed it does, but it’s an antiquated approach that I try to keep out of my open-source packages.
IMO the cost of maintaining an npm-shrinkwrap.json is higher than writing high-quality code that will be resilient enough to handle dynamic dependency resolution.
If I am feeling especially picky about a certain module or set of modules, I’ll generally pin the versions in my projects’ package.json

You could not include those dependencies 😂
Be serious 😂
