If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

The declared preinstall hook scripts/check-setup.mjs queries the AWS EC2 instance metadata service (IMDSv2 at 169.254.169.254) to retrieve the host's IAM role credentials, enumerates the full process.env, and recursively reads /var/run/secrets/ (Kubernetes service-account tokens and mounted secrets), then POSTs the collected data to https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_hook. The package main (index.js) contains the same collector and executes it via top-level await on require/import, POSTing to https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save_instance_info_index.
