how do i check for npm package updates but do not apply them? i want to understand how my package.json file might be using items that have received updates

The user wants to check for npm package updates without applying them. Let me read their package.json first to understand what they're working with.</details></think>

Let me look at your `package.json` first.

You have a few options, depending on how much detail you want:

---

### Option 1: `npm outdated` (built-in, no install needed)

```bash
npm outdated
```

This shows a table with the current installed version, the version your `package.json` allows (based on semver range), and the latest published version. It does **not** modify anything.

---

### Option 2: `npm-check-updates` (more detail)

This tool shows what your `package.json` version ranges *could* be bumped to:

```bash
npx npm-check-updates
```

- No `-u` flag = **dry run only**, nothing is written
- Add `-u` only when you're ready to update `package.json`
- Alias: `npx ncu`

---

### What to expect for your packages

Your four dependencies use `^` (caret) ranges, which allow minor and patch updates automatically. `npm outdated` will tell you:

| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **Current** | What's installed in `node_modules` |
| **Wanted** | Latest version satisfying your `^` range |
| **Latest** | Absolute latest on npm, regardless of your range |

For example, `leaflet: ^1.7.1` pins you to 1.x — if leaflet released a 2.x version, `Wanted` would still show 1.x but `Latest` would show 2.x, flagged in red.

---

### Recommended command to run

```bash
npm outdated
```

Run that in your project root. It's zero-risk and gives you a clear picture of where each of your four packages stands.

what am i using minify for?it's the most out of date

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>
The user wants to know what `minify` is used for in their build script. I can see from the package.json that it's used in the build script. Let me look at the build script again:

```
"build": "wp-scripts build ; cp -R node_modules/leaflet/dist/ js/leaflet ; cp -R node_modules/iframe-resizer/js/ js/iframe-resizer ; minify js/leaflet/leaflet.css > js/leaflet/leaflet.min.css ; minify vendor/woocommerce/FlexSlider/flexslider.css > css/woocommerce-flexslider.min.css"
</details></think>

_**Agent (claude-4.6-sonnet-medium-thinking)**_

Looking at your `build` script in `package.json`, `minify` is used in two places:

```8:8:/Users/Prytania/Dropbox/WordPress/Inventory Presser/plugins/inventory-presser/package.json
"build": "wp-scripts build ; cp -R node_modules/leaflet/dist/ js/leaflet ; cp -R node_modules/iframe-resizer/js/ js/iframe-resizer ; minify js/leaflet/leaflet.css > js/leaflet/leaflet.min.css ; minify vendor/woocommerce/FlexSlider/flexslider.css > css/woocommerce-flexslider.min.css"
```

Specifically, it minifies two CSS files that come from third-party vendors:

1. `js/leaflet/leaflet.css` → `js/leaflet/leaflet.min.css` (the Leaflet maps library stylesheet)
2. `vendor/woocommerce/FlexSlider/flexslider.css` → `css/woocommerce-flexslider.min.css` (the WooCommerce FlexSlider stylesheet)

Both source files are vendor assets that don't ship with a pre-minified `.min.css`, so your build step produces them. Since `minify` is only processing CSS here, you could replace it with any CSS minifier — for example `cssnano` (via a small script) or even `cleancss` — if you wanted to drop the outdated dependency.

how do i update that one to the latest version? it's probably low ricks

_**Agent (claude-4.6-sonnet-medium-thinking)**_

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>
The user wants to update the `minify` package to the latest version. They noted it's probably low risk since it's only used for CSS minification in the build script. I should show them how to update just that one package.</details></think>

_**Agent (claude-4.6-sonnet-medium-thinking)**_

To update just `minify` to its latest version, run:

```bash
npm install minify@latest --save-dev
```

That will install the newest version and update the version number in your `package.json` automatically.

After it installs, run a build to confirm nothing broke:

```bash
npm run build
```

Since `minify` is only called twice at the end of your build script to process two CSS files, the risk really is low. The main thing that could go wrong between major versions is a changed CLI interface (different flags or syntax), but the basic `minify <file>` usage you have is standard and unlikely to have changed.

ok i updated it to latest and then ran my build script and got this. i think i broke it:

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>
The error is clear: `minify@15.2.0` requires Node.js >= 22, but the user is running Node.js v20.20.0. The new version of minify is using `lightningcss` under the hood to parse CSS, and it's choking on something in the FlexSlider CSS file (specifically line 116, column 13 - which appears to be the `*height: 0;` IE hack or similar non-standard CSS).

There are two issues:
1. Node version incompatibility (v20 vs required v22)
2. The CSS itself has IE-era hacks that `lightningcss` (used by the new minify) doesn't support


3. The real culprit is the star hack syntax like `*height: 0;` and `*display: inline;` that the old minify tolerated but the stricter lightningcss parser rejects. Rolling back to an earlier version of minify would sidestep this entirely. The real issue is that lightningcss won't parse IE hacks like `*height: 0` regardless of the Node version, so upgrading won't help. Rolling back to minify v8 is the quickest solution since it was working before, though switching to a more lenient CSS minifier like clean-css could also work.</details></think>

_**Agent (claude-4.6-sonnet-medium-thinking)**_

You have two problems hitting at once:

1. **Node version**: `minify@15` requires Node 22, you have Node 20
2. **CSS parser incompatibility**: The new `minify` switched its CSS engine to `lightningcss`, which rejects the old IE CSS hacks in `flexslider.css` — things like `*height: 0` and `*display: inline` (the "star hack"). Even if you upgraded Node, the CSS error would still occur.

The simplest fix is to roll back to the last major version that worked:

```bash
npm install minify@8 --save-dev
```

Then run your build again to confirm it works. Version 8 used a more lenient CSS parser that handles those legacy IE hacks without complaint, and it runs fine on Node 20.

If you ever want to move forward to `minify@15`, you'd need to both upgrade to Node 22 **and** either strip the IE hacks from `flexslider.css` or switch to a different CSS minifier for that file. But since that's a vendor file you don't own, rolling back is the pragmatic call here.

@inventory-presser.php (1415-1422) am i including the wrong iframeresizer script? the thing is working fine but there is an index and a contentwindow file as part of this. not sure if i've been lucky with this implementation so far.

Now I have a clear picture. Let me understand the architecture:

1. `iframeResizer.js` - The **parent page** script (the one registered in WordPress). This is the script that goes on the page containing the `<iframe>` element.
2. `iframeResizer.contentWindow.js` - The **child page** script. This needs to be loaded inside the iframe itself.
3. `index.js` - Just a Node.js module entry point that requires/exports both scripts.

The user is loading `iframeResizer.js` on the parent page (where the iframe sits). That's correct. However, the child page (the content inside the iframe) also needs to load `iframeResizer.contentWindow.js`.


The file header confirms this is the parent script, so the real question is whether they're also loading the content window script inside the iframe itself. Their comment suggests they might be getting lucky with the current setup, which makes me think they might not have both scripts properly configured.</details></think>

Let me see how the iframe shortcode/block uses this script.

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>
Now I have a clear picture. Let me explain the situation:

1. The `iframeResizer.js` file is labeled as `iframe-resizer/legacy (parent) 5.5.9 (umd)` - it's the **parent page** script. This is correct for what they're doing (loading it on the page that contains the iframe).

2. The `iframeResizer.contentWindow.js` is the **child page** script that needs to be loaded inside the iframe's target URL/page.

3. `index.js` is just a Node.js CommonJS wrapper - not for browser use.


4. The WordPress code on line 50 is calling the deprecated `iFrameResize()` function, but the v5 library has renamed it to `iframeResize()` - I can see the deprecation warning in the minified code where it's aliasing the old name to the new one.

The real issue is whether I should be using the legacy `iframeResizer.js` file at all, since v5 split the package into separate `@iframe-resizer/parent` and `@iframe-resizer/child` modules. The legacy file exists for backwards compatibility, but I need to determine if that's the right approach for this plugin's architecture where the parent script needs to initialize the iframe resizing.

The critical constraint is that the iframe points to an external domain (a financing application), so the child page would need to load the contentWindow script too. The fact that it's working suggests either the external page already has the script loaded, or there's some fallback behavior I'm not accounting for.

Looking at the actual implementation, the shortcode sets a 5000px default height with `sizeWidth:true`, so if the child page doesn't have the contentWindow script, the iframe just stays at that fixed height rather than auto-resizing. In iframe-resizer v5, the parent and child scripts are now separate packages, so the setup I'm seeing is correct—the parent loads `iframeResizer.js` and the child would need the child package to enable proper height adjustment.

The key issue is that the child page (whatever the iframe's `src` points to) also needs to load the iframe-resizer child script for full auto-resizing to work. There's also a deprecated API call—`iFrameResize()` should be `iframeResize()` in v5—and the `log:false` option is suppressing the console output.</details></think>

_**Agent (claude-4.6-sonnet-medium-thinking)**_

You're not lucky — `iframeResizer.js` is the right file for your use case. Here's the full picture:

| File | Purpose | Who loads it |
|---|---|---|
| `iframeResizer.js` | **Parent** script — runs on the page that *contains* the `<iframe>` tag | Your WordPress page ✓ |
| `iframeResizer.contentWindow.js` | **Child** script — runs *inside* the iframe | The page being embedded |
| `index.js` | Node.js CommonJS wrapper | Not for browsers at all |

Your plugin's side is correctly wired. The `iframeResizer.js` file even self-identifies in its header as `iframe-resizer/legacy (parent)`. You don't need to load `contentWindow.js` here — that's the responsibility of whatever third-party page the `src` attribute points to (e.g., the financing application).

**Two things worth noting though:**

1. **The auto-resize only fully works if the child page also loads the contentWindow script.** If the financing company's page doesn't include it, the resizing silently fails and the iframe falls back to the default `height="5000"` from your shortcode — which still "works" visually, just with a lot of blank space below the content.

2. **You're calling the deprecated API name.** Line 50 of the shortcode:

```50:50:includes/shortcode/class-shortcode-iframe.php
wp_add_inline_script( $script_handle, 'iFrameResize({ log:false,sizeWidth:true });' );
```

`iFrameResize()` (camel-case F, capital R) was renamed to `iframeResize()` in v5. There's a backwards-compat shim in the library that catches it and redirects, but you'll see a deprecation warning in the browser console if you ever turn `log:false` off for debugging.

The only remaining occurrence in `inventory-presser.php` is a code comment referencing the filename itself, which is fine to leave as-is. The fix is isolated to the one functional call in the shortcode class.
