Original prompt

Fix the deterministic package installation command issues described in DevExpress/dxvcs#32108 for the repository DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead.

Goal:

• Update invalid package installation and npx invocation commands to comply with policy.
• Prefer deterministic installs and prevent implicit package downloads from the registry.

Required changes:

• Replace npm i and npm install with npm ci where appropriate and safe.
• Replace npx <cmd> with npx --no-install <cmd> where appropriate.
• Carefully review any flagged commands that may not be safely transformed mechanically, especially:
  • npm i testcafe-hammerhead ../testcafe-hammerhead --save
• For edge cases, make the minimal safe change that satisfies the deterministic-install policy without breaking the workflow; if direct substitution with npm ci is not valid, adjust the workflow/command sequence appropriately.

User: Could you attach links to all created PRS and PRs that will be created to the following issue https://github.com/orgs/DevExpress/projects/207/views/1?pane=issue&itemId=186240263&issue=DevExpress%7Cdxvcs%7C32108 ?

Assistant: I can do that, but I need the actual issue target rather than the project view link.

Please confirm that you want me to update this issue:

• DevExpress/dxvcs#32108

If yes, I can add the created PR links there as they become available. Right now, I only have task links for the PR creation jobs, not confirmed PR URLs yet. Once PRs are created, I can attach those PR links to the issue.

User: yes this is the issue

Assistant: Yes — once the PRs exist, I can attach their links to DevExpress/dxvcs#32108.

At the moment, I only have task links, not actual PR URLs:

• DevExpress/testcafe task
• DevExpress/testcafe-studio task

I can update the issue with PR links after the PRs are created. If you want, I can also continue creating PRs for the remaining repositories one by one, and then attach all resulting PR links to DevExpress/dxvcs#32108.

User: yes please

Assistant: I’ll use a single consolidated comment on DevExpress/dxvcs#32108 and keep adding PR links as they become available.

Next up: DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead.

Try to fix failed test tasks

I investigated the failing checks for this PR head b99679e: the failing statuses are linked to workflow runs 25911431600 and 25911431627, and both runs executed on master commit 0e62fc3 (not on this PR branch). On this PR branch, I don’t see failed workflow jobs to fix in-repo right now. Please share the exact failed run you want fixed for this branch, or re-run the required checks against b99679e.
