<![CDATA[Magic Mirror Update process]]>Can you please take “package.json” & “package-lock.json” out of the update for future releases so that we don’t have to remove them to update?

Thanks!

I have never had any issues with my mirror or modules after running that command and updating the mirror.

(I know, it does a hard reset, but what does that entail?)

There are new updates, which npm install needs to know about
