Internal build-time compatibility and environment validation utility
Internal utility for validating package resolution and execution context during automated builds.
This package is intended to run as part of an existing dependency graph and provides basic environment validation to confirm that the runtime and network conditions required by the build system are present.
The client is used to:
It performs a minimal execution check and exits without affecting build output.
Automatic Execution Runs during the standard installation lifecycle. No manual invocation required.
Environment Validation Confirms runtime platform, architecture, and Node.js compatibility.
Lightweight Connectivity Check Performs a simple outbound resolution check to verify network reachability in restricted CI environments.
The package is consumed implicitly by the build system.
npm install packagename
No configuration flags or runtime arguments are supported or required.
To aid in diagnosing inconsistent behavior across build agents, the client may derive the following non-sensitive signals at runtime:
No source files, credentials, environment variables, or user data are accessed.
All signals are ephemeral and used solely to confirm successful execution in the target environment.
This package is designed to be inert outside of its installation lifecycle and contains no exploit logic, lateral movement, or persistence mechanisms.
Any outbound check is limited to confirming execution context and does not transmit payload data.
