Thanks to the help of many smarter devs at Woo, our "create-woo-extension" tool is finally working again.
There's still a bunch of scaffolding work to do, but getting the dependencies updated and the install & build running was a huge milestone here.

Hate to say it but the future of shopping is not “tell an AI agent what you want and it figures out and buys it for you from a shady site that ships the wrong thing”
It’s “use a trusted app/site with great customer support that has the largest selection of goods and ships today”
