Pull request overview
Adds contributor-facing documentation to help developers on Microsoft-managed devices successfully install npm dependencies when direct access to registry.npmjs.org is blocked, by pointing them to Central Feed Services (CFS) guidance.
Changes:
- Adds a new “npm Registry (Microsoft-managed devices)” section to clarify managed-device behavior vs. external contributors.
- Documents how to verify the current npm registry configuration and where to find CFS setup instructions.
- Notes the distinction between device-level rerouting and repo-level build pipeline onboarding.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
Direct access to registry.npmjs.org is blocked on Microsoft-managed devices. Add guidance pointing contributors to the CFS proxy setup at aka.ms/CFS, while clarifying external contributors are unaffected and that repo-level CFS onboarding is handled in the build pipeline.

What
Adds an "npm Registry (Microsoft-managed devices)" section to
CONTRIBUTING.MD.Why
Direct access to
registry.npmjs.orgis now blocked on Microsoft-managed devices; npm/pnpm/yarn must resolve through the org's Central Feed Services (CFS) proxy. Contributors on managed devices hitting install failures had no guidance in-repo.Notes
