  2. If you installed it — respond

    Remove @athena-ui-components/dashboard-widget from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.

  3. Did it already run?
