In packages/app-desktop:
there is a dependency on "react": "18.3.1"
but also a devDependency on "@testing-library/react-hooks": "8.0.1", which itself declares a devDependency on "react": "17.0.2", and a peerDependency on "react": "^16.9.0 || ^17.0.0" (https://github.com/testing-library/react-hooks-testing-library/blob/main/package.json).

Hence the conflict.

The problem appears to be present at least all the way back to release-2.11.
