Remove reliance on nodejs

[sandbergja]

What maintenance needs to be done?

Remove the javascript build step for this application. Then remove nodejs from the boxes and ansible provisioning.

Level of urgency

• High
• Moderate
• Low

EOL upgrade

• Node 18, which we use in this application, reaches its EOL on 30 April 2025

Why is this maintenance needed?

To simplify our infrastructure, and save us from needing to upgrade node in the future. We use very little javascript in this application, so a bundling step is not required

Acceptance criteria

• We don't bundle javascript with vite
• We don't bundle javascript with sprockets
• We still use Lux to provide the UI
• Node is not present on our boxes
• Ansible does not provision node on lib-jobs boxes

Implementation notes, if any

• Lux can be added via a CDN, rather than being part of a build step -- note that we will want to use the most recent versions of Lux and Vue, rather than the versions mentioned in that documentation
