Dependency drift refers to the phenomenon where actual installed versions are inconsistent across different environments or at different times due to loosely constrained version ranges in a project.
A common approach to preventing dependency drift is to include lock files in version control and use npm ci instead of npm install in CI/CD pipelines.
