Description
The agent installation (via npx @appland/appmap install) fails for https://github.com/juice-shop/juice-shop, because the repository intentionally disabled with package-lock=false in the .npmrc file.
$ git clone https://github.com/juice-shop/juice-shop.git
$ cd juice-shop
# no package-lock.json
$ npm install
$ npx @appland/appmap install # fails

Research direction
Reproduce the failure in the juice-shop repository using the shown clone, npm install, and npx @appland/appmap install commands. Start by checking how the installer handles the absence of package-lock.json and the package-lock=false setting in .npmrc. Done means installation succeeds for a repository without package-lock.json.
