Fix: `Error: Cannot find module @rollup/rollup-linux-x64-gnu. npm has a bug related to optional dependencies` in CI
Although builds were succeeding locally, during CI builds were failing on Linux with the error Error: Cannot find module @rollup/rollup-linux-x64-gnu. npm has a bug related to optional dependencies. The log suggested removing package-lock.json - but this obviously breaks deterministic builds.
The root cause is a missing dependency - specifically, when Rollup needs native binaries for performance optimisation. Mac-generated lockfiles won’t include Linux-specific optional dependencies. First noted in npm bug 4828, it was fixed in npm 11.3.0+, but adding an explicit optional dependency prevents edge cases.
