Verified Production Fix
[microsoft/vscode] February 2026 Recovery 1
GH-microsoft/vscode#299879 • Mar 07, 2026
### ROOT CAUSE
The root cause of the issue is the failure to properly update the `package-lock.json` file after bumping the version number. This can lead to dependency inconsistencies or broken installations, as the lock file does not reflect the latest package versions.
### CODE FIX
1. **Bump the Version Number**: Use `npm version` or `yarn version` to increment the version in `package.json`.
2. **Update `package-lock.json`**: Run `npm install` or `yarn install` to ensure the lock file reflects the new version and dependencies.
3. **Verify Changes**: Check that only `package.json` and `package-lock.json` have been modified and that no unintended changes occurred.
By following these steps, the `package-lock.json` will correctly reflect the current dependencies, ensuring a consistent and reliable install process.
