Replace the deprecated NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION environment variable with NPM_CONFIG_OMIT=dev,optional for exact parity with previous behavior. Changes: - Remove --omit=dev flag from npm prune command - Set NPM_CONFIG_OMIT=dev,optional in prune step instead of NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=true - This approach uses environment variables as recommended The new approach: - Omits devDependencies (via "dev") - Omits optionalDependencies (via "optional") - Maintains NODE_ENV=production for lifecycle scripts This provides exact behavioral parity with the old NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=true approach while using the modern npm configuration method.

- Replace global `NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false` and `NPM_CONFIG_OMIT` environment variables with explicit `--include=dev` during installation and `--omit=dev` during pruning. - Prevent unintended global npm configuration side effects across build commands. Generated-by: aiautocommit

Replace the deprecated
NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTIONenvironment variable withexplicit npm dependency-group flags:
npm installandnpm ciuse--include=devso build dependencies remainavailable while
NODE_ENV=production.npm pruneuses--omit=dev, matching the previous production-pruningbehavior while retaining optional dependencies.
Breaking Changes
NODE_ENV=production. Annpm installruninside a deployed image will omit dev dependencies instead of inheriting
NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false. Applications or scripts that inspect thatvariable will no longer see it.
--include=dev. npm givesincludeprecedence overomit, so an existing.npmrccontainingomit=devwill no longer suppress dev dependencies during Railpack's installstep. Users who intentionally need that behavior can replace the install
command, for example with
RAILPACK_INSTALL_CMD="npm ci --omit=dev".--include=devis supported by npm 7 and newer. Projects pinned to npm 6 orearlier may not install dev dependencies correctly while
NODE_ENV=productionand should override the install command or upgrade npm.on
NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTIONmay behave differently.NODE_ENVremains set toproduction.npm ci --include=devornpm install --include=dev. Tooling that matches exact command strings mayrequire an update, and existing build caches will be invalidated once.
Optional dependencies continue to be installed, matching the behavior before
this migration.
