[BUG] npm ERR! cb() never called!

Created a sandbox React app for Firebase and used the command npm i to reinitialize repo in hopes to troubleshoot after adding in the Firebase config code. It was very early on in the environment build and ended up with this output below:

user@admins-MacBook-Pro react-sandbox % npm i

What version of npm are you using? It'd be in the first few lines of the npm-debug.log file that's generated.

I'm confident that this specific failure is fixed in the latest npm release. Please update. If you already have the latest npm release, then it's something else, but we still need the debug log.
