+ * every npm release: the App then installs the checkout's packages instead.

+ * How the checkout's SDK reaches an App: each package is packed (`bun pm
+ * pack`, deterministic) into a tarball in the App's own `vendor/frontera-sdk/`,
+ * and the App depends on `file:./vendor/frontera-sdk/<tarball>`. Chosen over
+ * the alternatives because:
+ *  - a `file:`/`link:` dependency on the checkout's folder writes a personal
+ *    absolute path into package.json, and Bun links a folder dependency file
+ *    by file, so imports resolve back into the checkout, outside the App:
+ *    TypeScript and Turbopack (rooted at the App) then can't find the App's
+ *    react or the SDK's sibling package;
+ *  - an overlay copied into node_modules leaves package.json alone, but the
+ *    next `bun install` puts the npm package back;
+ *  - a tarball is extracted into node_modules as a plain copy inside the App,
+ *    survives `bun install`, has a relative path, and is committed with the
+ *    App, so a clone, CI and `app deploy` build the same SDK. Its file name
+ *    carries a hash of its content, so a changed checkout is a new file the
+ *    lockfile notices, and the same checkout packs to the same file.
+ * The packed package.json drops the checkout's devDependencies and scripts,
+ * and names a sibling `@frontera-sdk` package as a peer (the App depends on it
+ * directly), so the App holds one copy of each and one React.
