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.

Its sole effect on install is to pull `ltidisafe` directly from `https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-2.9.2.tgz` — a Google Cloud Storage bucket, not the npm registry. The package name `po-ops-local-dev` combined with the `depenconf` path segment in the tarball URL is consistent with a dependency-confusion staging or research artifact. On `npm install`, npm fetches that tarball and runs any lifecycle scripts it contains; the contents at that GCS URL are mutable and outside npm's integrity verification. The actual installer impact depends entirely on what bytes the GCS bucket serves, which were not inspected here.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.
