GitHub Workflows using npm ci fail

[acicovic]

Describe the bug

Our GitHub workflows that use npm ci started failing sporadically a few days ago, but in our latest PR they seem to fail consistently. The error we get most often is:

npm ci can only install packages when your package.json and package-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json are in sync. Please update your lock file with npm install before continuing.

This seems to coincide with the update of actions/setup-node from 3.2.0 to 3.3.0 which could make sense. However, some research suggests that npm versions above 8.5.5 have a bug that could be the cause of this.

To Reproduce

Go to #923 and attempt to run the affected tests (e2e-tests.yml, e2e-tests.yml).
