Like the warnings as errors, and extensive test suites, there's also type safety that helps stir the LLM in the right direction.
You can go with "eliminate all 3rd party dependencies [...] frontends completely using zero frameworks" and be stuck with JS. Or use a typed language (TS, ReasonML/ReScript or even Elm) and an API client generator (available for all those languages) and get type safe API calling from a more strongly typed language.
As much as I prefer not to use NPM and even more prefer (even my LLMs) barely touch JS. A bit of safety is cheap these days, as you rightfully pointed out.
