☝️ Someone out there is running "composer remove" as part of a deployment?! 🚨 Please don't.
⚠️ remove is a write operation. It edits composer.json, re-resolves the whole dependency tree and overwrites your lock file. Your carefully pinned versions? 💨 Gone. Silently upgraded.
✅ composer install --no-dev exists for exactly this reason. Your lock file is not a suggestion. 🔒
