A developer is working on a Backstage project and wants to ensure that the exact same dependency versions are installed on their local machine as in the CI environment. The project uses npm. What should the developer do?

Run 'npm install --production' to install only production dependencies.

Run 'npm install --force' to bypass the lock file.

Run 'npm install --save' to update the package.json with exact versions.

Run 'npm install' and then commit the package-lock.json to the repository.

A developer runs 'npm install' in a Backstage project and sees the message 'up to date' in the output. What does this indicate?

All dependencies are already installed and match the package.json and lock file.

The package.json file has been updated with the latest versions.

The node_modules folder is empty and needs to be reinstalled.

The dependencies are installed but there are security vulnerabilities.

What is the primary benefit of using NPM/Yarn workspaces in a Backstage monorepo?

They prevent any package from being updated.

They automatically deploy all packages to production.

They eliminate the need for a package.json file in each package.

They allow multiple packages to share a single node_modules and be installed together.
