try upgrading all of chakra-ui/system and chakra-ui/icons and react and react-dom

npm update does not appear to function

it gives huge errors

idk what npm update does – haven't used it for ages, but you can look up the latest version number of those packages in the websites of those packages

or use something like npm-check-updates

Yes, it appears that many of the dependencies were outdated

1. you should upgrade your dependencies more often
2. each of the red is a breaking change. read the release note of each major update (e.g. 5.x.y to 6.z.t). you most likely have to update a lot in your code
