Description
CI builds should be deterministic and repeatable. Use of `npm install -g` and `npx --yes` violate deterministic builds by installing latest versions of packages and their dependencies.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Search the CI pipelines for uses of `npm install -g` and `npx --yes`, then record which packages and versions each command installs. Review how those dependencies are currently resolved and identify the changes needed for deterministic, repeatable builds; done means all relevant uses have a clear resolution.
