npm package-spec allows for aliases: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/using-npm/package-spec?v=true#aliases
This allows a dependency block to look like:
"dependencies": {
"string-width": "^5.1.2",
"string-width-cjs": "npm:string-width@^4.2.0",
},The corresponding package-lock.json will then look like:
"node_modules/@isaacs/cliui": {
"version": "8.0.2",
"resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/@isaacs/cliui/-/cliui-8.0.2.tgz",
"integrity": "sha512-O8jcjabXaleOG9DQ0+ARXWZBTfnP4WNAqzuiJK7ll44AmxGKv/J2M4TPjxjY3znBCfvBXFzucm1twdyFybFqEA==",

"string-width": "^5.1.2",
"string-width-cjs": "npm:string-width@^4.2.0",
},
"engines": {

}
},and the reference then looks like:

},but cachito is attempting to download string-width-cjs@npm:string-width-4.2.3.tgz which will not exist in npmjs.
Cachito should follow the alias before downloading.
