Fix extension build

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Cloning the repo and running npm install fails with ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree.

Needed to downgrade to Node 12 and Node 16 to run.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support Node 18 at least. But, if performing the upgrade, it would make sense to support the latest LTS version 22.

My bad. Needed to be using Yarn. Yarn build requires Node 16 or higher. Will test and report back.

Okay, tried Node 16 and Node 18 with rm -rf node_modules/ web-app/node_modules/ && yarn --cwd web-app cache clean && yarn cache clean && yarn install-all && yarn build.

Could not get around the following:

Building webapp...
$ react-app-rewired build

There might be a problem with the project dependency tree.
It is likely not a bug in Create React App, but something you need to fix locally.

The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency:

  "babel-loader": "8.1.0"

Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it automatically.
However, a different version of babel-loader was detected higher up in the tree:

  /path/to/coderoad-vscode/web-app/node_modules/babel-loader (version: 8.2.2)

Seems react-scripts has a dependency on babel-loader 8.1.0, while the web-app depends on 8.2.2.

Tried various upgrade attempts, and ran into all manner of issues running the build.

This ticket title probably needs a change.

When CONTRIBUTING.md didn't offer direction, I didn't think to check the docs.

Found https://coderoad.github.io/docs/development/.

Fixed my build with the .env file, because it sets to SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK.
