I dug into the CI failure. Both vulnerability-auditor.test.js tests time out with this error:

No socket was returned in the `connect()` function

at Agent.createConnection (agent-base/src/index.ts:176:10)
at MockHttpSocket.passthrough (@mswjs/interceptors/.../MockHttpSocket.ts:192:25)

The problem is nock v14 and arborist v9 don't play well together. nock v13 intercepted HTTP by monkey-patching http.request at the top level, before any agent got involved. nock v14 switched to @mswjs/interceptors, which intercepts at the socket level. Meanwhile, arborist v9 pulled in npm-registry-fetch v19, which uses @npmcli/agent (built on agent-base). When nock v14 tries to pass a request through to the mock, it calls Agent.createConnection() expecting a raw net.Socket back, but agent-base wraps connections differently and returns nothing nock understands. The audit request to http://localhost:9999 never completes, and the test hangs until it times out.

The semver bump is fine. The arborist and nock bumps are individually fine too, but combined they break the vulnerability auditor's mocking setup.

Easiest fix: split this into two PRs. Take arborist v9 + semver now, keep nock at v13. The nock v14 upgrade needs either a workaround in vulnerability-auditor.js (e.g., spinning up a real local HTTP server instead of using nock) or waiting for @mswjs/interceptors to handle custom agents properly.

[JamieMagee]

Pushed a fix in f26a558. Replaced nock with a real http.createServer on a random port in vulnerability-auditor.js. The server handles the same POST /-/npm/v1/security/advisories/bulk endpoint that nock was mocking, so arborist's audit calls hit an actual HTTP server instead of a socket-level interceptor. This avoids the nock v14 / @npmcli/agent incompatibility entirely and lets us drop nock as a dependency (it was only used here). All 19 helper tests pass.

[JamieMagee]

Pushed a second fix in c89ca6a. The smoke test smoke-npm-remove-transitive was still failing because the CI runs a proxy container that intercepts all HTTP traffic from the updater. The local http.createServer I added listens on 127.0.0.1, but arborist (via npm-registry-fetch) was routing the audit POST through the proxy, which couldn't reach localhost. The proxy logs showed No response from server for POST http://127.0.0.1:42313/-/npm/v1/security/advisories/bulk.

Fix: pass noProxy: '127.0.0.1' in the Arborist constructor options so the audit request goes directly to the local server instead of through the proxy.
