Security default flip
npm allow list lifecycle scripts scoped package blocked allow-scripts package name scope
An allow-list entry appears present, yet the scoped package lifecycle script remains blocked.
Agent Quick Fix
Repair against the current npm contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.
Product: npm
Current-contract area: Scoped package allow-list identity mismatch
Likely root cause: An allow-list entry appears present, yet the scoped package lifecycle script remains blocked.
Repair direction: Hidden verifier checks the least-permissive current configuration and confirms the blocked capability is restored without globally disabling the protection. Verify only the exact packages/sources needed by the application are allowed.Symptom
An allow-list entry appears present, yet the scoped package lifecycle script remains blocked.
Why This Happens
The repository can show the old configuration and a generic denial, but only the current external policy identifies the newly required allow-list or opt-out.
Common Wrong Fixes
- Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
- Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
- Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
