|---|---|---|
| Node.js | v20.12.2 |
^20.19.0 |

Assessment
Node.js version managers such as nvm use .nvmrc to automate the selection of a defined Node.js version.
nvm use, executed in the repo, automatically selects Node.js v20.12.2 for usage.
.nvmrc must specify a minimum of v20.19.0 (with bundled npm 10.8.2)
