Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v3.2.3

Published

[THIS IS A TEST] This is a test for NPM and sub dependency validations

Readme

@tdspt/transdepend

[THIS IS A TEST]
This package is the root (stager) package used in a controlled supply-chain security engagement to validate:

  • SBOM completeness and accuracy
  • Visibility of transitive dependencies
  • Detection of new or unfamiliar scopes/sources
  • Dependency graph and lockfile review workflows

This package is intentionally minimal and inert.


Role in the Engagement

This package serves as the entry point for the test. Its purpose is to:

  • Introduce a known, trusted level-1 dependency
  • Allow that dependency to introduce a surprise transitive sub-dependency
  • Provide a deterministic runtime signal confirming the root package was loaded

It does not:

  • Execute lifecycle scripts
  • Perform network activity
  • Spawn processes
  • Import or execute transitive dependencies

Dependency Chain

Expected dependency structure:

  • @tdspt/transdepend (this package)
    • @tdspt/depends-lvl1
      • @tdspt/depends-lvl2

The root package never references lvl2 directly.
Presence of lvl2 should only be observable via:

  • package-lock.json
  • SBOM output
  • Dependency graph tooling

Runtime Behavior

When this package is loaded (e.g. via require() or import), it appends a single JSON Lines (.jsonl) entry to:
