Supply chain security matters
We treat distribution integrity as part of the product. CLI and template packages are published from automation you can inspect, with signed GitHub releases and npm provenance where supported, so you can verify what you install and reduce exposure to tampering, dependency confusion, and malicious dependency injection. Pair that with pinned, reviewed dependencies in every scaffold and routine updates when upstream advisories land.
