Latest version of socket.io causes tests to fail on macOS

[Chuckv01]

Karma does not seem to be working properly with the latest version of socket.io when running on macOS. Tests will always fail with the following output:

Chrome 115.0.0.0 (Mac OS 10.15.7) ERROR
  Some of your tests did a full page reload!

Overriding the socket.io dependency version to 4.6.1 within package.json fixes the issue:

"overrides": {
  "socket.io": "4.6.1"
}

Suggest one of the following:

• Pinning socket.io to 4.6.1 here
• Figuring out if karma needs to be updated to work with socket.io@4.7.1
• If not an issue in karma, filing a bug with socket.io

Saw the same problem on Firefox on ArchLinux and an Angular 12 project with the conjunction of the new socket.io version and the client.clearContext configuration set to false. I had to fix the resolution of socket.io to "socket.io": "~4.6.2" in my project.
