These members all concern the CLI update flow's npm steps: adding an idle timeout to npm ci with fallback to npm install, using --prefer-offline during update, and a report of a very slow update with high CPU usage. The group appears to center on update performance and stalls, though the bug report's cause is not established by the titles alone.
