I've made it a habit now to use the --before=2026-05-30 flag when installing packages, where it'll pick the version released before the date you specify, I usually pick around 5 days ago

If you use npm 11, you can simplify your workflow by setting min-release-age to 5. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/using-npm/config#min-release-...
I just use `pnpm` and set up a liberal `minimumReleaseAge`: https://pnpm.io/settings#minimumreleaseage
Thankfully, it's on by default since v11.
If using straight npm (v11.10.0 or higher), you can just add to .npmrc in the project root:
min-release-age=5
Yarn 4 can automate this
In case others are unaware, you just have to set https://yarnpkg.com/configuration/yarnrc#npmMinimalAgeGate to the value you want. It defaults to 1 day.
