Description

package.json has 20.x

https://github.com/openedx/paragon/blob/839964c84490b78d3e0c2403c51600f45bd49df0/package.json#L162

release.yml has @22

https://github.com/openedx/paragon/blob/839964c84490b78d3e0c2403c51600f45bd49df0/.github/workflows/release.yml#L39

I think this means we can just remove it from package.json and rely on the npx installed version in the release workflow, but it'd be good to verify that with some dry runs.

Research direction

Compare the semantic-release declarations in package.json and .github/workflows/release.yml, then use dry runs to verify whether the workflow's npx-installed version is sufficient. Done means package.json no longer carries a redundant dependency and the release workflow still behaves as expected.
