Caught a bug over the holidays so I’m mostly resting, feeling sorry for myself, and taking the time to at least carry out some mindless housekeeping tasks (updating dependencies, etc.) on some of my Node modules.
Released updates to the following packages yesterday:
Tape-based Node.js testing:

Node.js devs, so picture this: you run `npm install` and you get a bunch of packages with audit errors.
The only thing I want to know at that point is what’s the root package that these dependencies belong to? (Running npm audit fix is a last resort as I don’t like it fiddling around with the dependencies of nested packages.)
It’s also not a straightforward thing to do, but it’s nothing jq and a bit of piping can’t fix:
