approaching this from scratch leads to an error and prevents app start:
Configuration contains string/RegExp pattern, but no filename was passed to Babel

ts-jest seems to have had an issue causing this, but is not mentioned in my package-log.json. Not sure whether there are other causes, but maybe it is somehow involved in your setup? Could you re-try?

probably a disturbance in the force 🤷
i'll close this and hope that my PR gets in soon :)
