[Bug]: baremetal deployment - yarn install fails because of package cpu-features via node-ssh #1307
Description
What's not working?
Hello!
I have this issue when deploying with baremetal, at install step :
warning Error running install script for optional dependency: "/PROJECT/node_modules/cpu-features: Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: node buildcheck.js > buildcheck.gypi && node-gyp rebuild
Arguments:
Directory: /PROJECT/node_modules/cpu-features
Output:
/PROJECT/node_modules/buildcheck/lib/index.js:115
throw new Error('Unable to detect compiler type');
^

Here's the file : https://github.com/mscdex/buildcheck/blob/master/lib/index.js#L31
I guess it's because I don't have any compiler installed on my production server.
The node-ssh dep is used by the baremetal setup, which is intended to be used locally, and set up in devDependencies : https://github.com/cedarjs/cedar/blame/72dda01dc80b854924ba2a0e7b5471dbb3fe0a94/packages/cli/src/commands/setup/deploy/providers/baremetalHandler.js#L50
IMHO the target server should not need to install this dep, so I tried to tweak the yarn install step to add --prod here :
https://github.com/cedarjs/cedar/blob/72dda01dc80b854924ba2a0e7b5471dbb3fe0a94/packages/cli/src/commands/deploy/baremetal/baremetalHandler.js#361
I then get this :
Error while running command `yarn cedar build api` in /var/www/alpha.app/20260304153339
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1424
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module '@cedarjs/cli/package.json'
Require stack:

at require.resolve (node:internal/modules/helpers:163:19)
at Object.<anonymous>
How can this be handled:
- Do you think we should we move all production deps to dependencies, and use
yarn install --prod? - Use yarn-add-no-save ?
As a workaround, I keep the upstream package.json without node-ssh package.
How do we reproduce the bug?
