+# Dependency patches
+
+Sometimes there are problems with dependencies that can be solved by patching them. Gutenberg uses
+[`patch-package`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package) to patch npm dependencies when
+they're installed.
+
+Existing patches should be described and justified here.
+
+## Patches
+
+### `patches/lighthouse+10.4.0.patch`
+
+No notes.
+
+### `patches/react-autosize-textarea+7.1.0.patch`
+
+This package is unmaintained. It's incompatible with some recent versions of React types in ways
+that are mostly harmless.
+
+The `onPointerEnterCapture` and `onPointerLeaveCapture` events were removed. The package is patched
+to remove those events as well.
+
+See https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/17883.
+
+### `patches/react-devtools-core+4.28.5.patch`
+
+No notes.
+
+### `patches/react-native+0.73.3.patch`
+
+No notes.
