I'm not even a JS dev, I support the CI pipelines and Docker images and whatnot. It's something else every week. When I get it to work eventually, it's brittle as hell. I just want the madness to stop. I don't even care any more.
If you support the CI pipelines, you can put some conventions that you expect to run npm ci, npm build and then npm unit-tests-run and you don't care what they use as long as it returns without errors and puts the deployable artifact in ./dist/public/ or whereever you expect it. If you are bold enough you can ask to write makefiles too -- let them have it.
