codam-web-greeter v1.0.11

This release brings compatibility with NodeJS 12 by downgrading to Typescript v4 (from v5). NodeJS 12 is installable by default on Ubuntu 22 LTS, which is what codam-web-greeter aims to support out of the box. Previous versions of codam-web-greeter required NodeJS 14 or higher.
