What can you review before adding a package?
A package can bring in more packages of its own. Socket helps review what changed when a teammate or coding tool adds a dependency. Give the reviewer a reason the app needs the package and a chance to compare its warnings before accepting the change.
Where will a warning appear?
Socket documents a GitHub workflow for checking proposed changes. The details depend on how you connect it and which policy you choose. Confirm who will see a warning and who decides whether a change should proceed.
Which counts affect the plan?
Socket lists developer seats, monthly scan allowances and plan-specific controls. Its pricing FAQ defines a developer using recent commits in a repository Socket scans. Compare that definition with who actually commits to your projects.
Would you accept a new package for one small feature?
Draw a fictional change that adds a package to format a date. Assume it also adds three packages the app did not use before.
- Check what changedWrite down why the change is useful and what extra code it adds.
- Choose a reviewerHave one person decide which warning needs follow-up and whether the feature can wait.
