Transaction fails to validate (Error running script)

Question

I've created a transaction on the TESTNET and am trying to push it via BlockCyphers facility at:

https://live.blockcypher.com/btc-testnet/pushtx/

when I make the attempt, I get the following error:

Error validating transaction: Error running script for input 0 referencing 261190892daa2c9aaaf25c20624f7f2941d2ad58dec883b0c929d1fa9306fd57 at 0: Script was NOT verified successfully..

here's the transaction. I don't see what the matter with it is and not sure I understand the error. can anyone help?

- Addendum I -

to help narrow down the solution, here's the code I'm using to produce the transaction: I first produce an address where to receive some coin:

const btc = require('bitcoinjs-lib');
const bip39 = require('bip39');
const bip32 = require('bip32');

var mnem = 'my-12-word-bip39-seed-phrase'
var root = = bip32.fromSeed(
  bip39.mnemonicToSeedSync(mnem), bitcoin.networks.testnet
);
var p = "m/44'/1'/0'/0/0"
var pubkey = root.derivePath(p).publicKey;
var {address} = btc.payments.p2pkh({pubkey, network: btc.networks.testnet});
console.log(address);

which yields mjGtZWXgPdbLUZYWtDqVTfbFieVzXFfSEj. I then send some coin to that address and attempt to create my transaction:

const CS = require('coinselect');
var feeRate = 55;
var env = 'test3'
var src = 'mjGtZWXgPdbLUZYWtDqVTfbFieVzXFfSEj'
var url = `https://api.blockcypher.com/v1/btc/${env}/addrs/${src}?unspendOnly=true`;
var o = await fetch(url).then(res => res.json());
var utxos = o.txrefs.map(o => ({
    txId: o.tx_hash, 
    vout: parseInt(o.tx_output_n), 
    value: parseInt(o.value)
}));
var targets = [{address: '2N7nSZjfqikj4oVkCqaLB3CNMY3TA72PbNY', value: 500}];
var {inputs, outputs, fee} = CS(utxos, targets, feeRate);
if (ret.outputs) ret.outputs.forEach(o => {
    if (!o.address) o.address = 'msp7depXvcjLqykZxYVrWNG9QgKqLWWKEN';
})

// builds the transaction
var tx = new btc.TransactionBuilder(btc.networks.testnet);
inputs.forEach(o => tx.addInput(o.txId, o.vout));
outputs.forEach(o => tx.addOutput(o.address, o.value));
tx.sign(0, root);
console.log(tx.build().toHex());

from which I get a numerical string that converts to the above transaction. as can be seen, I'm using the same root to sign the transaction that was used to create the source address

You have the wrong public key inside your SignatureScript:

Sig: 48-304502210093b8ff9180a8a31a5ee7b0fb6c560aef888a3d53576e530cb4601dce2d3c51da02204fd8a28743f1d1100a2f56428e743501091e833550df6cf540bad4f5248a6d3c-01
pubkey: 21-02d794c7e1a8068782ef6ee68acf9f6ad9c84c78349671c1a7bf60418a8e1ed108

The outpoint you are spending (2611[...]fd57:0) has the following PubkeyScript:

76-a9-14-2937902660c169b9381a5b3eb35cc889a4686a85-88-ac

When the script runs it fails on 0x88 (or OP_EqualVerify) because HASH160 of the given public key (02d7[...]d108) is e652ed9163ac72629584ec92f47602cca45aa969
