Description
I'm following the local build instructions in https://github.com/posit-dev/open-source-website/blob/main/content/blog/_authoring-guide.md and just install resulted in this:
It also resulted in some yarn.lock changes, but everything else was in node_modules/. I'm pretty sure we don't want to include these?

Research direction
Start with content/blog/_authoring-guide.md and the repository’s .gitignore, then reproduce the reported result with just install. Check whether node_modules/ and the reported yarn.lock changes are expected to be tracked; done means the install instructions and ignore rules leave only intended changes.
