Security Notice: GitLab has uncovered a widespread malicious npm supply-chain attack that potentially can destroy user data. All teams are required to audit packages. Further information can be found under the Computer Security Report for November 2025 and the original blog post in https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-discovers-widespread-npm-supply-chain-attack/
https://github.com/archspec/archspec implements most of the internal functionalities of LbPlatformUtils and is maintained by Spack.
We can rework LbPlatformUtils as a wrapper around archspec and sensibly reduce the maintenance cost.
