Description

Sharp module has been a bit of problem for many throwing cryptic errors. We are even running a lot of manual scripts around sharp. It would be awesome to replace it with something simple.

Research direction
Investigate all files that import or use sharp (e.g., via 'require' or 'import'). Check documentation and known issues with sharp in the repository. Research alternative image processing libraries like jimp, imagemin, or sharp alternatives that are simpler and well maintained. Propose a replacement, update import statements, and adjust any API usage. Verify that tests pass and functionality remains unchanged.
