Description

typedarray-to-buffer       😟  PKG ERR!  Not in the package.json. Found in: /var/local/www/js/main-ad167a0ba9.js

This is the minified + browserified app code and is ignored by git. npm-check should skip these.

Research direction
Examine the source code to understand how npm check currently reads and parses files (likely in the main CLI entry point). Look for a function that lists or filters files. Implement integration with a .gitignore parsing library, such as `ignore` (npm package). Ensure that files matching patterns in .gitignore are not processed. Add tests to verify behavior. Existing comments in the issue may provide additional context or user expectations.
