<s>[INST] package.json has been randomly removing the devDependencies
We have a `package.json` file in our project root directory, and it looks like this:
```json
{
  "name": "...",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "...": "..."
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "...": "..."
  },
  "scripts": {
    "...": "..."
  }
}
```
Every now and then, without any noticeable pattern, the `devDependencies` section gets removed from the file. It's not a specific script or command that triggers this, it just happens randomly.
I've tried to:

1. **Check the git history**: I've reviewed the commit history and couldn't find any changes to the `package.json` file that would explain the removal of `devDependencies`.
2. **Verify file permissions**: I've checked the file permissions and ownership, and they seem correct.
3. **Test with different IDEs**: I've tried opening the project in different IDEs (VS Code, IntelliJ, Sublime Text) to see if it's an IDE-specific issue, but the problem persists.

**Question**: What could be causing the `devDependencies` section to be randomly removed from the `package.json` file?[/INST]
