candidate platform agnostic solution

[mattlongname]

Candidate solution for: #195
Tested on these platforms:

• Windows 21H2
• Ubuntu 22.04
• macOS 12.6.1
• github Actions:pre-commit (forked branch pull request)

Each platform had native node/npm and python/pip installed. I ran the following commands from the project root directory:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install
pre-commit run --all-files

Containerized development environments would make this a non-issue. Regardless, here is a low impact, candidate solution that could better serve native environments, containerized environments, and github workflows.
