The prepare script runs during npm install for all consumers, which could significantly slow down installation times. Consider using prepublishOnly (which is already present) for build automation before publishing, or use postinstall only if absolutely necessary. The prepare script is typically reserved for development dependencies setup, not full builds.

prepare is not run when a package is installed via the npm registry, which is the most relevant case. This change will not increase the install time for developers using a tagged version.
