fix: exempt explicit pack targets from allow-directory - #9916
Merged
Conversation
## Summary - allow explicit directory targets through `npm pack` and `npm publish` when `allow-directory` is `none` or `root` - keep dependency fetch policies unchanged and cover the shared library plus both CLI commands ## Why `allow-directory` restricts directory dependencies, but the local package selected for packing or publishing is the command target. The current flow applies the dependency policy to that target during manifest or tarball preparation. Closes #9755. ## Validation - `node . run test` - passed (123 test files, 100% coverage) - `node . run test -w libnpmpack` - passed (100% coverage) - dry-run `pack` and `publish` smokes with `allow-directory=none|root` - passed Co-authored-by: ychampion <ychampion@users.noreply.github.com> (cherry picked from commit 71915e8)
