 Hi, @desrosj 👋🏻:

 In my testing with npm v6.14.16, it is still an issue where `package-
 lock.json` indentation is converted to 2 spaces. This can be worked around
 by first deleting the lock file, where the `browserslist` update will copy
 the indentation from `package.json` (as expected) while regenerating the
 lock file. (See "Short Term Maintenance" below.)

 On the other hand, in npm v7-8, the indentation issue appears to have been
 fixed. During the lock file update, tabs are preserved, but v7 introduced
 `"lockFileVersion": 2` to `package.json`. It would seem that in order to
 support a pre-commit check for the latest `caniuse-lite` data, it would
 need to happen ''after'' migrating npm to a higher version.

 === Short Term Maintenance

 I've prepared a patch ([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53685 PR
 2379]) for the `caniuse-lite` DB with npm 6.14.16, if we ''only'' wanted
 to bring the browsers list up to date. Here is the list of changes as of
 today:

 I know this doesn't address the need to update `precommit:css`, but offers
 some additional time while an update to npm is considered.
