Comment (by youknowriad):

 > Can we ensure that we find a way to make Core build without introducing
 network dependencies after cloning? or certainly after having run npm
 install? As someone who frequently works tethered to a capped data plan,
 it’s not sustainable for me to wait for hundreds of megabytes of
 compressed JS files to download and build when working.

 I don't see this that different from what we were doing previously as the
 same code was being downloaded into node_modules and required network
 dependencies. I guess the main difference is that the heck.

 > This needs resolving IMO, and something that I think is uncovered with
 brief and basic testing. The page WordPress provides which instructs to
 run npm run build no longer works reliably; when I follow its steps I’m
 left seeing the same page, unable to load WordPress. This is discouraging
 me greatly.

 I'm happy to look at this, I did test this and I can't reproduce
 personally but again there are multiple flows to develop on WordPress Core
 and I'm happy to look specifically at your flow.
