Add three flags to `.npmrc` to reduce supply-chain risk: - `allow-git = none` — block git URL dependencies. - `ignore-scripts = true` — skip lifecycle scripts on install. - `min-release-age = 3` — only install package versions at least 3 days old. Note: contributors must run `npm run prepare` manually post-clone to set the local git hooks path, since `ignore-scripts` skips the `prepare` script.
