Something brief here about how non-LTS versions of Node.js don't get security updates? To connect the dots on context for why we would only support Current, Active, Maintainence versions?

This is in line with our [policy](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/2025-02-28-wrangler-v4-rc/#clearer-policy-for-the-minimum-required-version-of-nodejs-required-to-run-wrangler) of supporting the [Current, Active, and Maintenance](https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases) versions of Node.js.
Node.js v18 reached [end-of-life](https://github.com/nodejs/release?tab=readme-ov-file#end-of-life-releases) on 2025-04-30 and no longer receives critical bug fixes and security updates.
All versions of Node.js that are currently supported by the Node.js project are supported by Wrangler.
