The npm dependencies are installed in /source/ in the dockerfile dependencies-dev stage but:

1. Immediately after they're installed /source/ is overwritten
2. /source/ gets bound from the host filesystem so anything that was in that directory in the container image is lost

Workaround until the bug is fixed:

inv cli
npm install from within the container will install the dependencies to the locally bound filesystem
