26-26: Version requirement bump is consistent and timely.

Updating the Node.js prerequisite from v16+ to v20+ aligns with the system requirements reference (which specifies ^20.19.0 as minimum for latest Prisma ORM) and the matching updates across all other guides in this PR. v20 is a stable LTS release and a sensible baseline for new projects.

20-20: Version requirement update is consistent with other guides.

The Node.js prerequisite is updated from 18+ to 20+ in line with the uniform version bump across all guides in this PR. The phrasing here ("version 20 or higher") is slightly different from other guides but conveys the same minimum requirement.

18-22: Formatting adjustments maintain table readability without changing requirements.

The cosmetic spacing changes in the Software requirements table improve alignment and readability. The actual minimum versions remain unchanged, with Node.js correctly specified as ^20.19.0, ^22.12.0, or ^24.0.0—consistent with the v20+ updates being applied to the guide documents.
