Dependency Registry

Last Edited: 9/5/2026

This document serves as the authorized database of dependencies for the Yutila website repository. All additions must comply with the organizational security policies regarding supply chain risk, licensing, and transitive auditing.

1. Licensing Policy

To protect proprietary IP from viral open-source mandates, all third-party code must utilize permissive licenses.

  • Permitted Licenses: MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD-3-Clause, ISC.
  • Strictly Prohibited: GPLv3, AGPL (and any other Copyleft licenses) (Applies to non-open source projects only).

2. Approved Dependencies

Tier 1: Inherited Trust

Dependencies originating from top-tier foundations or highly active ecosystems (>1000 GitHub stars, active maintenance). These are pre-validated for integration.

EcosystemPackage NameLicenseSourceValidation Metric
npmastroMITwithastroOfficial framework, active
npmreactMITfacebookTop-tier foundation, active
npmreact-domMITfacebookTop-tier foundation, active
npmtailwindcssMITtailwindlabs>1k stars, active
npmtypescriptApache-2.0MicrosoftTop-tier foundation, active

Tier 2: Manually Audited

Dependencies requiring a formal audit, specific version pinning, and technical justification due to niche use cases or smaller maintainer footprints.

EcosystemPackage NameVersion ConstraintLicenseAudit DateJustification
npmmotion>=10.16.0, <11.0.0MIT30/4/2026Required for core UI animations. Full transitive tree verified via deps.dev.
npmclsx^2.1.0MIT30/4/2026Standard utility for conditional Tailwind class merging. No transitive bloat.

3. Blocked Dependencies (Tier 3)

The following dependencies and categories are explicitly blocked from the production baseline due to severe vulnerabilities, deprecation, or licensing violations.

EcosystemPackage NameReason for BlockRequired Alternative
All* (Any GPL/AGPL)Viral copyleft clause violates proprietary licensing policy (Applies to non-open source projects only).Internally developed logic or MIT/Apache-2.0 alternatives.
npmrequestDeprecated, unmaintained, unpatched vulnerabilities.Native fetch API.
npmnode-forgeHistorical critical vulnerabilities; superseded by native APIs.Native Web Crypto API.

4. Integration Process

Before adding a new dependency not listed in Tier 1 or Tier 2:

  1. Verify License: Ensure it is MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD-3-Clause, or ISC.
  2. Audit Transitive Tree: Query the package via deps.dev to ensure no hidden vulnerabilities exist in its sub-dependencies.
  3. Submit Request: Open a Dependency Review issue to get the package audited and added to the Tier 2 list.
