oof, this dep is too heavy to add globally to polygott. it may be better to add it to the currently-being-built npm package cache.

that should be fully available in a couple more weeks, which is roughly how much time a polygott change needs to be visible in production, so in the end the wait time for both should be comparable.

so, i'm going to close this PR, but you'll still get what you want!
