• Run npm start or npm ci (no --legacy-peer-deps!)
• Confirm that the install completes successfully
• Run npm run build and npm run watch and confirm that the assets build successfully
• Run npm run lint and confirm that SCSS and JS linting works

Running into an error at this step:

Run npm run semantic-release --dry-run and confirm there's successful output

 ✘  An error occurred while running semantic-release: Error: Cannot find module 'node-fetch'

@chickenn00dle ddab6ee should fix this by removing the node-fetch polyfill requirement (seems like it's no longer needed for Node v18+). Please run npm ci again before re-testing.

Looks like that latest change to package-lock.json broke something else. Stand by...

@chickenn00dle Ok, we should be good now with bda4cb4. Looks like that ajv version override is no longer needed.
