Package Script

Definitions

1. A script associated with a package definition, often used for build steps, tests, post-install actions, or developer workflows. In practical culture, package scripts are convenient but can also hide surprising behavior from people who think they are just 'installing a dependency.'

   In plain English: A script attached to a package for build, install, test, or workflow steps.

   Example: "The security review caught a risky package script that ran networked setup logic automatically during install on developer machines."
