grep -rl "esm.sh/lodash-es@4.17.21" src/ came back with forty-one files. Forty-one places where the same CDN URL, pinned to the same version, was typed out by hand at the top of a module. The security advisory said bump to 4.17.22. A sed one-liner across the repo felt fine until it silently skipped...
