License Automation

This project includes an automated license management workflow that tracks direct dependencies and keeps compliance files up to date.

Running the license update script

To regenerate licensing artifacts:

pnpm run update-licenses

The script will:

1. Scan direct runtime and development dependencies from package.json
2. Read dependency license metadata from installed packages in node_modules
3. Update the root NOTICE file
4. Rebuild the licenses/ directory with one file per discovered license

When to run

Run the script whenever dependencies change:

• After adding a dependency
• After removing a dependency
• Before a release or tag
• In CI (optional)

Output

The command prints:

• Runtime dependency count
• Development dependency count
• Discovered unique license ids
