npm install shelljs needed?

[maxandersen]

@ptrthomas I automated the release via github workflow but noted that I have to do npm install shelljs before running npm install or npm ci because preinstall.json need it before it install dependencies.

That does not feel right :) For now I just updated the publish workflow but wonder if you can see a way to avoid this or its just as it is ?
