Subject: [PATCH] docs: update setup to working npm ci variant

`npm ci` hangs indefinitely. This repros across multiple machines, in a
dev container and in a GitHub Codespace.

Mimicking the GitHub Action install step, this change updates the docs
to a working _flavour_ of `npm ci` to unblock contributors.
