IMPORTANT:
Node is a requirement to use NPM

TODO

• build must fail if typescript is not compiled
• app.ts is not compiling to wwwroot/scripts/app.js
• npm is not caching packages
• typescript not publishing correctly
• typescript builds and publishes correctly, but is using redundant scripts. need to investigate.
• consolidate the verify scripts in workflow.
• migrate all existing javascript to TypeScript
