Context
Mitigation for supply chain attacks on npm packages — ref INC-227.
Node version in this repo (`` from ) is below 24.14.1, which is required for
min-release-age. As an alternative mitigation we use the `before` directive: npm will refuse to install any package version published after the configured date.Changes

Update the
beforedate in.npmrcto a value at mosttoday − 7 days. The 7-day buffer lets the community detect and unpublish compromised packages before they end up in our install.
