Further:

can confirm that installing ssb-ref@latest in linked patchbay-gatherhings breaks things.
MOST INTERESTINGLY, if I uninstall ssb-ref from that repo, then the package-lock.json and install is still in a 'polluted' state and things remain broken.

I've pushed this broken package-lock.json up in the branch polluted_packagelock of patchbay-gatherings.
To toggle between states all you need to do is:

1. have patchbay-gatherings linked in
2. checkout the patchbay-gatherings branch you want to test master or polluted_packagelock
3. run npm install in that repo
4. reload patchbay with ctrl+r
   • you don't need to close and open it again for the broken / working state to change for this one...
