Reading docs as part of oncall responsibilities and was reminded of [this discussion](https://fleetdm.slack.com/archives/C019WG4GH0A/p1771252998086309) in Slack by Martin which referenced a recent JS module change that broke `make generate` until developers ran `rm -rf node_modules`, so I added a callout in the FAQ for it since I think this has happened a few times in the past year
