Exposes a public method on the Arborist class that builds (or reuses) an ideal tree, commits the shrinkwrap metadata, and returns the lockfile contents as a string without writing to disk. This makes a previously-undocumented sequence (`buildIdealTree()` -> `tree.meta.commit()` -> `String(tree.meta)`) a discoverable, supported API, enabling callers to inspect, diff, or store generated lockfiles without mutating the project's package-lock.json.

This makes a previously-undocumented sequence (
buildIdealTree()->tree.meta.commit()->String(tree.meta)) a discoverable, supported API, enabling callers to inspect, diff, or store generated lockfiles without mutating the project's package-lock.json.(specifically, this is the only thing i need to be able to completely EOL https://npmjs.com/npm-lockfile)
