Background

With the decline of Grunt for many years now, it won't be feasible to use it infinitely without risking modern functionality and abilities and security (read below). The last release dates back to Jan 2023.
In a recent NPM audit in Oct 2025, a security vulnerability was identified, where Grunt, depends on an unmaintained version of Glob.

Goal

Replace Grunt tasks with NPM tasks and ensure all functionality is continuing to be available orienting on T246326

A related task in this venture is T407800.

Acceptance criteria for done

• All dependencies are replaced
• All functionality continues to be working
