Maintenance bypassed the stop.

Reconcile before replaying.

Check runners, query packs and completed results before a pipeline change.

Decide what the next workflow can tolerate before changing where its data comes from.

A project deserves isolation before it reaches the working environment. Keep the review separate from the ordinary desktop.

An invitation does not reveal every note.

Provenance answered where the package was built. It could not answer whether the source reaching the trusted workflow was honest.

The upload bug lived in a third-party forum. The blast radius grew because a community sign-in token carried access into employee AI accounts and GitHub.
The employee had left. The token had not. GitHub traced the access path back to the wider TanStack supply-chain incident.
The repositories copied more than 40 brands. The payload then used a trusted driver to remove the tools most likely to stop it.
