Report #6110

[bug\_fix] npm ERR\! code EINTEGRITY / npm ERR\! code EUSAGE \(npm ci\)

Ensure package-lock.json is committed and in sync with package.json; run npm install locally to regenerate if needed

Journey Context:
CI pipeline \(GitHub Actions/GitLab\) runs npm ci and fails immediately with EUSAGE or integrity check failures. Locally, npm install works fine. Realized that npm ci requires an existing package-lock.json and fails if package.json versions don't match the lockfile exactly. The lockfile wasn't committed to git \(in .gitignore\), or a developer manually edited package.json without running npm install to update the lock. Fix: Remove node\_modules and package-lock.json locally, run npm install to generate a fresh lockfile, commit it to git. In CI, use npm ci for faster, reproducible installs. If integrity checks fail due to corrupted cache, run npm cache clean --force.
