chore: upgrade npm

Unticketed

When I do a fresh checkout of the repo and simply run npm i, it always errors out with ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT. To workaround this, running the same command the 2nd+ times or use a lower version of npm (like 7.24.2) have worked for me. I normally reset my repo to a clean state by following the steps below:

1. restore any local changes then checkout latest staging
2. at root, run lerna clean (use this to remove any node_modules existing in individual workspace if it applies, like ./packages/content/node_modules)
3. at root, run npm cache clear --force
4. at root, simply remove node_modules dir

Took a closer look at it, this might have something to do with the npm version we specified via volta. Came across this similar issue being reported on npm cli repo, which is recently closed with a fix in its dependencies 😃 . And, their latest version v8.6.0 is out.

Took a shot at the version v8.6.0, which seems to work going through the repro. Also verify the followings:

• storybook
• test
• template site for authentication + dev app
