Research direction
Start by inspecting /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/node_modules/resolve/test/resolver/multirepo/package.json and tracing why this test dependency is included in the published global installation. Review the dependency tree and the issue’s scanner report before deciding how the finding should be addressed. Done means the reported dependency concern is resolved and the global installation no longer triggers the finding without breaking dependency tests.
