The README and package manifest disagree. Which do you trust?
The judgment behind the action
Treat documentation as a clue. Compare the manifest, lockfile, source imports, and tests. Explain conflicts instead of silently choosing a familiar command. Search for the behavior and its callers before expanding the investigation.
A bounded way to ask
Inspect package.json, the lockfile, and the tests around filtering. Report the actual test script and any documentation conflicts.
