  fields in `package.json`. Controls registry selection, authentication tokens, store location, hoisting
  behavior, lockfile settings, lifecycle script policy (including the supply-chain safety settings such
  as `minimumReleaseAge` and `ignoredBuiltDependencies`), peer dependency rules, and workspace behavior.
