- Changed to avoid build step for development installs.
- No `dist/` files will be generated by default for development
  installs. Run `npm run build` if needed.
- CI build test added to check builds work.

   causes the included `node` `documentLoader` to not function and tests to

+- **BREAKING**: `npm` `prepublish` script changed to `prepack`. The `dist/`
+  contents will not be generated by default for development installs. Run `npm
+  run build` if needed. This was done to avoid extra work only needed for
+  packing and publication, and for temporary `webpack` version issues. A new CI
+  `build` test has been added to check builds pass. The `prepack` script could
+  be `prepare` instead if use cases exist where that is needed. File an issue
+  if this is a concern.
 - Update to `@digitalbazaar/http-client@3`:
   - Pulls in newer `ky` and `ky-universal` that should address security alerts
     and provide other improvements.
