Field notes
The site organizes its package-security model around explicit rule ordering: requests can be scanned, checked against names and scopes, held during a cooling-off period, or sent for approval before delivery. Its coverage extends beyond the usual JavaScript focus to private feeds and mirrors for Python, .NET, Java, Ruby, PHP, Apple packages, containers, RPM, and Debian/Ubuntu APT. Documentation also addresses incident response through kill switches, lockdown modes, audit history, and time-boxed waivers.
