Eve, Omid -- FYI only.

This is for story 16519.

Hopefully there won't be too many (or any) fixes to main branch while we develop on release-5.0.0 branch (which we will merge when it's safe to do so without breaking anything).

Only the app version updated. Looks good to me.

For now, yes. Should I merge this and then create more PRs for the rest of the work in this ticket, or can I add extra work to THIS PR? (In case you don't want to see the extra work -- do you?)

I agree that it is better to build a base first.

Your package-lock has changed quite a bit - I'd recommend a decent retest.

For sure. We will be making a lot of changes to this feature branch so it will undergo lots of testing.
