Description
Currently, there is an issue in PRs opened by dependabot
- when a dependency is updated in
package.json, the change is not reflected in thepackage-lock.json- merging such PRs may be dangerous as the CI is not actually running with the updated version of the dependency - PRs updating only dependencies listed in the
package-lock.jsonfile look correct

Research direction
Start by comparing package.json and package-lock.json in a Dependabot PR, then inspect the repository’s Dependabot and CI configuration to trace how dependency updates are generated and validated. Done means updates to dependencies in package.json are reflected in package-lock.json and CI runs with the updated dependency, while lockfile-only updates remain correct.
