The first commit of that work, 4139807e7 in <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript">microsoft/TypeScript</a>, is titled &ldquo;Add build via esbuild&rdquo;. Its change to <code>package.json</code> is one line in <code>devDependencies</code>:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-diff" data-lang="diff"><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#a6e22e">+ &#34;esbuild&#34;: &#34;^0.15.13&#34;, </span></span></span></code></pre></div><p><code>package-lock.json</code> grew from 742 packages to 765 in the same commit. We ran Remixware 0.3.1&rsquo;s dependency gate on that commit against its parent, offline, to see what a reviewer would have been shown. The commands, hashes and full output are in the <a href="https://github.com/softdevstudio/remixware/tree/main/test/results/case-studies/deps/typescript">Remixware repository</a>, and every number below comes from there.</p>
