…fail during update When running the update command, if package manager installation fails (e.g., due to peer dependency conflicts or network issues), the project's package.json is left in an updated state but node_modules is missing or inconsistent. To prevent leaving the workspace in a broken state, backup the original package.json before applying the update plan, and restore it from the backup if the installation tasks throw an error.

…e managers Other package managers (pnpm, yarn, bun) deterministically reconcile node_modules with the lockfile during installation, making full directory deletion unnecessary and slow. Keep node_modules cleanup only for npm for now.

Code Review
This pull request introduces a backup and restore mechanism for the package.json file during the update process, ensuring it is restored to its original state if the update fails. Additionally, it optimizes the update process by skipping the node_modules cleaning task when the package manager is not npm. There are no review comments, and the changes are well-implemented, so I have no feedback to provide.

When running the update command, if package manager installation fails (e.g., due to peer dependency conflicts or network issues), the project's package.json is left in an updated state but node_modules is missing or inconsistent.
To prevent leaving the workspace in a broken state, backup the original package.json before applying the update plan, and restore it from the backup if the installation tasks throw an error.
