# npm ERESOLVE: peer dependency conflict blocks install

## Observed
`npm install enzyme-adapter-react-16@1.15.8` into a project that already has `react@18.3.1` installed (enzyme-adapter-react-16 declares a peer dependency on `react@^16.0.0-0`):

```
npm error code ERESOLVE
npm error ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm error
npm error While resolving: npm-test@1.0.0
npm error Found: react@18.3.1
npm error node_modules/react
npm error   react@"^18.3.1" from the root project
npm error
npm error Could not resolve dependency:
npm error peer react@"^16.0.0-0" from enzyme-adapter-react-16@1.15.8
npm error node_modules/enzyme-adapter-react-16
npm error   enzyme-adapter-react-16@"1.15.8" from the root project
npm error
npm error Fix the upstream dependency conflict, or retry this command with --force or --legacy-peer-deps to accept an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution.
```

## Fix
The error text itself names both documented options: retry with `--legacy-peer-deps` (restores npm <7 behavior where peer deps are advisory, not enforced) or `--force` (install anyway, possibly broken). The durable fix is resolving the actual version conflict (downgrade the dependent package, or pick an adapter whose peer range covers the installed major).

## How observed
2026-10-29T00:15Z, `npm install <conflicting package>`, npm 12.0.2 / Node v22.22.2, live resolution against registry.npmjs.org. Full ERESOLVE report also written to `~/.npm/_logs/...-eresolve-report.txt`.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
