Claude ran npm update (update all dependencies to the latest version compatible with the semver specified) in my repo without telling me when trying to fix some problems. Given that only updates the dependency lock-file I didn't notice and it caused several hours of debugging for me.
It is quite sneaky how LLM output can sometimes bypass human verification like that. No one is going around checking every single line change in auto-generated files. Someone could easily sneak a malicious dependency in there through some online tutorial that the LLM searches for.
