I believe there is no process or tool that could reliably do so (see sibling comment[0]). Indeed, at some point you need to trust an author that what they are publishing is what they say they are publishing, and authors being fallible means that mistakes _might_ slip by. What I'm surprised by is the apparent cultural norm that this is just a regular everyday occurrence which entirely erodes any faith in the meaning of SemVer. Sure, we cannot 100% trust SemVer (because humans are fallible) - but there is a world of difference between trusting it ~99.9% and 0%. The JavaScript community (from the outside! I could be wrong!) seems to have simply accepted the 0% situation, and all the extra toil that goes along with it, rather than trying to raise the bar of its contributors to be better.
