If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3.

The same beacon is duplicated in ai/index.js, which is exposed through the package's `exports` map as `./ai`, so `require('@qlab/ui/ai')` re-fires the POST at import time. The combination of preinstall lifecycle execution, an attacker-controlled webhook endpoint, and harvesting of installer host/user/DNS/package metadata is a dependency-confusion reconnaissance beacon targeting the @qlab scope.
