ci(build): run a build in non-dev environment #7514

New Feature / Enhancement Checklist

• I am not disclosing a vulnerability.
• I am not just asking a question.
• I have searched through existing issues.

Current Limitation

Currently, the CI runs all tests in dev environments. This means all npm dev dependencies will be installed. That is not representative of a production environment, where dev dependencies are not installed.

This can cause bugs to stay undetected, like #7183 where a dev dependency is used in non-test code and therefore passes the test. In a production environment that dependency would be missing and break the feature that is using that dependency.

Feature / Enhancement Description

Add additional CI stage to run tests in non-dev environment.

Example Use Case

#7183
