Isn't that what lockfiles are for? By default `npm i` downloads exactly the versions specified in your lockfile, and only resolves the latest versions matching the ranges specified in package.json if no lockfile exists. But CI/CD pipelines should definitely be using `npm ci` instead, which will only install packages from a lockfile and throws an error if it doesn't exist.

It’s still ridiculous to me that version pinning isn’t the default for npm.

The first thing I do for all of my projects is adding a .npmrc with save-exact=true
