A developer pattern centralizes multiple npm pre-scripts (hash, GeoJSON split, SEO generation) into a single orchestrator script using `spawnSync`, eliminating duplication between `predev` and `prebuild` and adding per-step timing and error context. For teams managing complex build pipelines, this approach reduces maintenance overhead and enables selective step skipping via env vars or parallelization of independent steps with `Promise.all`.
