Relevant issue number

• Resolves #

Please check the following

• Do the tests still pass? (see Run the Tests)
• Is the code formatted properly? (see Linting (Formatting))
• For New Features:
  • Have tests been added to cover any new features or fixes?
  • Has the documentation been updated accordingly?

Please describe additional details for testing this change

• Fixes a cross-platform issue in the 'start:preview' npm script
• It previously used ; - npm run build;npm run start:server but this failed on Windows. So I have changed the ; to && so that it should run on all platforms. I have tested this on Windows but not on any other platforms.

Looks good. Requesting to remove "node" from dependencies and then this is ready

[itsalaidbacklife]

Node shouldn't be required as a dependency of the project. It's instead listed under "engines" below.

Suggested change

"node": "^24.15.0",

Interesting catch. Do I take it you use cmd? I'd only used powershell when working with windows and that uses ; the same way bash does, so I'd never encountered this issue. It seems a noninvasive improvement to cross compatibility

As a last change, since you've updated a dependency, we need to update package-lock.json as well, which contains the exact versions of the full dependency tree. To do this, after removing node from package.json, please run
npm install then commit and push the changes that makes to package-lock.json

@dorothy122 the need to update package-lock.json looks to be what caused the tests to fail since npm ci errors when the lock file is out of date.

First, remove 'node' from dependencies, and then you can either update the lock file with npm install and committing the changes that creates, or you can roll back the update to Vue devtools in package.json
