It relates somehow to * inside dependencies-property.
Let's just change code a little bit:
import stackblitz from '@stackblitz/sdk'; // 1.11.0
stackblitz.openProject({
template: 'typescript',
dependencies: {
'@maskito/core': 'latest',
'@maskito/kit': 'latest',
},
title: 'No error',
files: {'index.html': 'Hello world!', 'index.ts': ''},
});
It is obvious regression because it worked before.
We were using this approach in our Open Source library Maskito from March 2023 (and it worked correctly!).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported 403 with stackblitz.openProject using '*' in dependencies, then compare it with the same project using 'latest'. Trace the openProject dependency handling and verify that wildcard versions no longer produce the 403 while the existing example still works.
