Lightweight private npm proxy registry

verdaccio.org ↗

Verdaccio's v7 prereleases are consolidating forked code back onto shared packages.

npm registrypackage consolidationplugin compatibilityprerelease linebuild tooling
◆Current state
The next-7 prerelease line moves in small, single-change increments. The substantive one adopts @verdaccio/server and drops the locally forked api, web, and storage code, keeping a thin Storage wrapper so legacy callback-based storage plugins continue to work. The two tags after it are toolchain and dependency work: replacing eslint and prettier with oxlint and oxfmt, and moving the verdaccio dependency set onto the next-9 dist-tag.
◆Where it's heading
The v7 effort is about reducing what the main package maintains itself, folding forked implementations back into shared packages while preserving a compatibility shim for the plugin ecosystem. That plugin compatibility constraint appears deliberate and is likely to shape how far the consolidation can go. The surrounding tags suggest the project is also modernizing its build tooling while the architecture settles.
◆Prediction
The api, web, and storage forks are gone but a legacy storage wrapper remains; removing that shim, which would break callback-based storage plugins, is the decision this line is heading toward.

    7.0.0-next-7.21: local api, web and storage forks dropped
