Summary

  • Adds How Packages Are Shared section showing how the same transitive package can appear through both dependencies and devDependencies, with npm ls guidance
  • Adds CVE Exposure Assessment section with a 5-step exploitability chain and 4-way exposure classification (production runtime / CI/CD / dev environment / no practical exposure)
  • Adds Step-by-Step CVE Handling section covering the full workflow from npm audit through to documenting accepted risk

Test plan

  • Verify Markdown renders correctly in GitHub
  • Confirm new sections link correctly to existing anchors (#using-npm-overrides-for-temporary-fixes, #7-production-and-cicd-installation-approaches)

Add three new content sections to the npm dependency management guide:
- How packages are shared across dependency types with npm ls guidance
- CVE exposure assessment chain with 4-way exposure classification
- Step-by-step CVE handling process (audit → trace → assess → fix → document)
