So – we’ve resolved the problem (in the other linked issue), but I believe there’s a potential follow-up for QA on the code base (the details are in the linked issue). It’s possible that this potential build environment problem (on any given localhost) should be remedied by a code change in the repo to enforce version requirement(s) for eslint.
This quick start project is an awesome demo. I am truly excited by the possibilities of Strapi.
Thanks for the help on this issue, @localhost_101 & @markkaylor!
