Report #104697

[bug\_fix] npm ERR\! code EINTEGRITY npm ERR\! sha512-... integrity checksum failed when using sha512: wanted sha512-... but got sha512-....

Clear the npm cache with \`npm cache clean --force\` and then reinstall the package. If the issue persists, delete \`node\_modules\` and \`package-lock.json\` and run \`npm install\` again.

Journey Context:
A developer encountered an EINTEGRITY error while running \`npm install\` on a CI server after a network interruption. The error indicated that the cached tarball's checksum didn't match the expected value. The developer first tried \`npm cache verify\` which reported corruption, then ran \`npm cache clean --force\` to wipe the entire cache. After that, \`npm install\` succeeded because npm downloaded fresh copies of all packages. The environment was Node 18.16.0, npm 9.6.7, Ubuntu 22.04 \(CI runner\).
