Adds a postinstall script to package.json that writes a canary marker file to /tmp/postinstall-canary.txt. Created as part of dependency installation behavior testing.

Note

Medium Risk
Adds a postinstall hook that executes on every install and writes to /tmp, which can affect CI/build environments and has supply-chain/security implications if copied beyond testing.

Overview
Updates package.json to rename the package to test-pkg, add a version, and drop the existing vitest test script.

Introduces a postinstall script that writes a CANARY_MARKER file to /tmp/postinstall-canary.txt during installs.

Postinstall script is test code committed to production

High Severity

The postinstall script writing a canary marker file to /tmp/postinstall-canary.txt is test/debugging infrastructure that executes a shell command on every npm install. This runs automatically for anyone installing this package or its dependents, writing to the filesystem as a side effect of installation. Even if created for "dependency installation behavior testing," this has no place in the committed package.json.

Removal of private: true enables accidental npm publication

High Severity

The "private": true field was removed and a "version" field was added, making this package publishable to npm. Since the package now contains a postinstall script that executes a shell command, an accidental or malicious npm publish would distribute a package that writes to /tmp on every consumer's machine. The private guard existed specifically to prevent this.

Test script removed while test files still exist

Medium Severity

The "test": "vitest run" script was removed, but test/math.test.ts and its vitest imports still exist. Running npm test will now fail with the default npm error instead of executing the test suite. This silently breaks the CI test pipeline and "type": "module" was also removed, which may affect module resolution for the remaining TypeScript source files.

Removal of type: module breaks ESM resolution

Medium Severity

The "type": "module" field was removed from package.json. All source files in src/ use ESM export syntax, and the test file uses ESM import syntax. This field controls how Node.js and tooling (like vitest) resolve modules. Without it, the project defaults to CommonJS mode, which can break ESM module resolution across the entire project — separate from the test script removal.
