Description

This package is part of the create-react-app project, which hasn't been maintained for several years, is no longer officially supported by React, and is not officially compatible with the version of TypeScript we have pinned in the repository.

We should use the eject script provided by react-scripts to remove the dependency on react-scripts, and then upgrade the concrete dependencies.

Research direction
The issue requires removing the `react scripts` dependency by running the `eject` script provided by `react scripts`. After ejection, upgrade the concrete dependencies, particularly TypeScript and other related packages. The web frontend code is likely in the repository's web frontend directory. Check the current package.json and webpack configuration after ejection. There are 6 comments that may provide additional context or potential pitfalls. No linked PRs exist, so this is open for contribution.
