Remove the redundant path npm package

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.node.migrate.path.remove-redundant-path-dependency

Artifact@openrewrite/recipes-nodejs

Removes the path npm package, an unmaintained 2015 copy of Node's path module, from package.json. Node always resolves require('path') and import 'path' to its built-in module, so the package is never loaded at runtime. It is kept where a browser bundle may still use it: when webpack 5, Vite, esbuild, Parcel, Rspack or Rsbuild (directly or through a framework such as Create React App 5, the Angular CLI, Vue CLI 5, Nuxt 3, SvelteKit or Astro) would bundle a path import from browser-side source, when the browser field maps path to a package, or when code names the package explicitly as path/. Lock files are not regenerated; run the package manager's install afterwards.
