node run publish gives error

Just following the boilerplate instructions, without touching anything I get this error:

Reproduce the failure with the boilerplate publish command, node run publish, after the build completes. Start by reading the Firebase CLI stack locations mentioned in firebase-tools/lib/requireAccess.js and firebase-tools/lib/error.js; done means the publish step no longer ends with the shown Firebase error.
