Research direction

Examine the current build setup in bootlint's package.json and any build scripts. Identify which modern JavaScript features (e.g., ES modules, async/await) would be useful for the project. Propose a Rollup and Babel configuration that enables these features. Ensure the new build process integrates seamlessly with any existing linting or testing workflows.
