How do I fix deployment error "OSSL_WEBCRYPTO_OR_TEXT_ENCODING_NOT_INSTALLED is not defined" when using ZEIT Now, Next.js, and Gun.js?

I've been unable to deploy a Next.js app via ZEIT Now due to a Gun.js reference error, OSSL_WEBCRYPTO_OR_TEXT_ENCODING_NOT_INSTALLED is not defined. There are no errors when running in development mode on my local machine.

Just prior to the error in the deployment logs is the message "node-webcrypto-ossl and text-encoding may not be included by default, please add it to your package.json!" Doing so did not fix the error, nor did adding @trust/webcrypto as per https://github.com/amark/gun#additional-cryptography-libraries (I'm using SEA for user authentication) (EDIT: removed @trust/webcrypto from dependencies).

Stack trace from Now deployment logs:
