create-redwood-app includes private Verdaccio registry causing installation failure

[mrkimani-ndegwa]

What's not working?

When creating a new Redwood project with npx create-redwood-app, the generated package.json includes a private Verdaccio registry that causes installation to fail for new users.

Current Behavior

The generated package.json includes a private registry reference:

json
"resolutions": {
    "@storybook/react-dom-shim@npm:7.6.17": "https://verdaccio.tobbe.dev/@storybook/react-dom-shim/-/react-dom-shim-8.0.8.tgz"
}

This causes yarn install to fail with:

error Couldn't find package "//verdaccio.tobbe.dev/" on the "npm" registry.

How do we reproduce the bug?

• Run npx create-redwood-app@latest my-app
• Navigate to project directory: cd my-app
• Run yarn install
• Observe the Verdaccio registry error

What's your environment? (If it applies)

@Tobbe as this message references one of your packages do you have any ideas how to resolve?
