(repo: LocalRepo, ops: GitopsOperations, log?: Logger | undefined): Promise<void> Installs npm dependencies with cache healing on ETARGET errors.
Strategy:
1. First attempt: regular npm install
2. On ETARGET error (stale cache): npm cache clean --force then retry
3. On other errors: fail immediately
Why ETARGET errors occur: After publishing a package and waiting for NPM registry propagation, npm's local cache may still have stale "404" metadata. This healing strategy clears the cache to force fresh metadata fetch.
