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.

It declares two runtime dependencies — `regexp-ts@^2.1.7` and `chai@^4.4.1` — that the upstream nodemon does not ship and that are not `require()`d anywhere in `lib/` or `bin/`. Installing `nodemon-lint` by mistake therefore silently pulls those packages into the installer's dependency tree via npm's normal resolution, even though the lure tarball itself contains only legitimate nodemon code. The name is a 5-character extension of a top-tier registry package (`nodemon`), and the unused-dependency shape is consistent with using the lure as a delivery vehicle for whatever those transitive packages contain. The transitive packages themselves were not inspected here, so confirmation of their content is required before publishing a hard block.\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.
