The members concern the CLI update path on WSL, where Windows npm may be looked up instead of a Linux-native one, and where an error during the Node dependency refresh may still be reported as a complete update. Three titles describe fixes (one a salvage of an earlier change) and one is a bug report; their outcomes are not stated here.
