Discussion on: So you think you're just gonna `npm install`? Think again

Does that also care

It does not. It totally should, but at the moment it does not. Literally just writes to the file for you.

Yeah, npm i --package-lock-only && pnpm i --lockfile-only

The yarn [install] will also actually do the install, which is slower and clobbers my nice node_modules made by pnpm.

Not so ideal when the package.json alone changes.
These are changes that aren't as soft as other things that you can force on the team by putting them on commit hooks.

I think we agree that regardless, your CI/build systems should work with the pure lock file and not try resolve.
