Description

Cypress v9 has a lot of bug fixes/improvements that cause some of our tests to pass when they should actually fail. cypress is also listed as a dependency of the root (maybe this is for CI purposes), when it should be a development dependency of components.

Research direction

Inspect the dependency manifests for the root project and the components package to see where Cypress is declared and how the current test setup uses it. Run the components tests before and after the upgrade; done means the latest major Cypress version is used, the dependency is scoped to components as intended, and the suite still catches failures.
