patch

Added an explicit node-gyp dependency to the root package.json. This is to work around a bug in older versions of node-gyp that causes Python execution to fail on macOS.

You can add this workaround to your existing project by adding node-gyp as a devDependency in your root package.json file:

   "devDependencies": {
+    "node-gyp": "^9.0.0"
   },
