🛠 Summary of Changes

1. 🔄 Replaced node-sass with sass

• Removed: node-sass@4.12.0 (caused native compilation failures on Node.js v20)
• Added: sass@1.89.2 (Dart Sass – pure JS, no native bindings)
• Symlink: Created node-sass → sass to support legacy sass-loader expectations

2. 🔐 Fixed OpenSSL 3.0 Compatibility (Node.js v17+)

• Updated package.json scripts:
  • Added NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
• Fixes: digital envelope routines::unsupported error
• Applied To:
  • react script
  • build script

3. 🚫 Bypassed Create React App Preflight Checks

• Added .env file:
  • SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true
• Purpose: Prevents babel-jest version warnings from blocking the app

4. 🧹 Cleaned Up Package Manager Conflicts

• Removed: package-lock.json
  (Prevents Yarn/npm version resolution inconsistencies)
