Description
### Description
It'd be nice if something could be done in vite-plus specifically to ensure secure defaults if a user is using npm.
See https://nesbitt.io/2026/03/31/npms-defaults-are-bad.html for examples.
### Suggested solution
For safety reasons, we should probably force `vp install` (when not passed a specific package to add) to map to `npm ci`, or at least maybe `npm install --prefer-offline`?
### Alternative
_No response_
### Additional context
It may also be a good idea to have `vp env doctor` point the user to various more-secure options as well, for example using min-release-age if not set, blocking scripts from running on-package-install (`--ignore-scripts`), and so on.
