Error updating SAPUI5 version using UI5 Tooling

Question

I have a pretty standard ui5.yaml setup as follows..

specVersion: "2.3"
metadata:
  name: itcpc.cms
type: application
framework:
  name: SAPUI5
  version: "1.84.26"
  libraries:
    - name: sap.ui.core
    - name: sap.m
    - name: sap.tnt
    - name: themelib_sap_fiori_3
server:
  customMiddleware:
    - name: odataProxy
      beforeMiddleware: serveResources

I've attempted to update the SAPUI5 version like so..

$ yarn ui5 use sapui5@latest

This correctly updates my ui5.yaml file.

But when I run ui5 serve, I get the following error on the sap.tnt dependency.

info normalizer:translators:ui5Framework Using SAPUI5 version: 1.118.0

⚠️  Process Failed With Error

You need to install the latest version of the UI5 Tooling in order to use the latest SAPUI5 version. You can install it with npm i --save-dev @ui5/cli@latest. Afterwards, increase your specVersion to 3.0, since this is the one the latest SAPUI5 build requires.
