Hi, I would like to make a JupyterLab extension, but it seems the official templates have version conflicts with TLJH.
extension-template requires JupyterLab 4.0, but TLJH is currently on 3.6.4. So no problem, I’ll use extension-cookiecutter-ts using the 3.0 tag. That gets me further (the Python packages no longer conflict), but it still fails, because some dependency down the line requires Node v16, but TLJH comes with Node v14.
Error message when calling pip
# export PATH="/opt/tljh/user/bin:$PATH
# hash -r
# pip install -e ".[test]"

I’m rather hesitant to install an additional version of Node because I don’t know which one will be picked up by which tool.
Currently I’m not sure if this is a bug in the template, or if I’m doing it wrong 
. Is there a currently blessed way to create an extension that works with TLJH (and preferably Z2JH and other setups of course)? Or is the best way to just start with a random extension and modify it?
