+
+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:
