Can't install pos-cli on npm > 10.3.0 (POS-101)

[z-x]

Expected behavior

npm i -g @platformos/pos-cli should install pos-cli without errors.

Actual behavior

Trying to npm i -g @platformos/pos-cli results in an error from node-gyp trying to rebuild fsevents. The problem occurs on npm above 10.3.0. Downgrading npm fixes the problem.

From what I've investigated, the failing package is fsevents. It's currently used as a dependency of chokidar, and chokidar is used as a dependency of livereload.

Removing those fixes the installation issue. I've tried to replace chokidar with @parcel/watcher but it does not trigger events on folder operations (parcel-bundler/watcher#165). turbowatch on the other hand is ESM package so we can't use it as we're stuck in CJS.

It seems that npm i fsevents@latest -f --save-optional fixes the issue...
