New project fails on NPM install

[PreciousFlorist]

After instantiating a fresh install, an NPM audit identifies the following errors:

1. engine.io (moderate severity): This vulnerability is related to uncaught exceptions in engine.io, which could lead to unexpected application behavior. More details are available here: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-r7qp-cfhv-p84w

2. file-type (high severity): This vulnerability is associated with an infinite loop when processing a malformed MKV file. More details can be found here: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mhxj-85r3-2x55

3. immer (critical severity): This vulnerability is caused by prototype pollution in the immer package. Prototype pollution can allow attackers to modify an application's behavior, potentially leading to various security issues. More details are available here:
