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 dns module is loaded via string concatenation (`'d'+'n'+'s'`) and the `whoami` command is similarly split, indicating deliberate obfuscation of the module and command names. The package's declared main entry is an empty stub with no library functionality, so the preinstall beacon is the package's only behavior.
