I believe the void is to prevent the linter from throwing a warning that we have a value that isn't being saved to a var

When you write await Template.Main(process.env), the result of that operation isn’t stored, and the linter might complain because the return value is unused. In such cases, using void before the expression tells the linter that you’re intentionally ignoring the result, which suppresses the warning.

So, if you choose to keep void, it’s a valid way to silence the linter while making it clear that the return value doesn’t matter.

If the goal is to avoid linter warnings and you don’t need the result of the call, then keeping void makes sense. On the other hand, if the linter doesn’t complain, it’s also fine to leave it out.

Hey! This is correct - we're intentionally discarding the output

await Template.Main(process.env);
return "Example template app running";
case "indexer":
void (await Indexer.Main(Indexer.envToConfig(process.env), logger));

Thoughts on something like this? Otherwise we may have issues with the UMA/logger package

Suggested change
.catch((error) => {
logger.error(error);
});
.catch((error) => {
logger.error({
message: "uncaught error",
at: "node::run",
error
});
});
