Every version was published to cause harm.\n\nTask:\n1. Search this repository's dependency manifests and lockfiles for the package, including transitive dependencies.\n2. 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 outbound request sets `User-Agent: dependency-confusion/${PACKAGE_NAME}` and the published version `999.99.99` matches the canonical dependency-confusion shape designed to outrank an internal package of the same name.
