Should build node binaries for newest major node version

[TommyTechh]

According to your npm page: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@zowe/db2-for-zowe-cli

If we get the following error:
@zowe\db2-for-zowe-cli\node_modules\ibm_db\build\Release\odbc_bindings.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 137. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 141. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using npm rebuild or npm install).

We should simply uninstall and install again. However, the plugin is currently not support the major version 25, so this does not work.

When using the newest major version of node, the plugin should build the correct node binaries.

Describe your environment

Windows 11 running node 25.x

Additional context

On a fresh PC i installed the newest node 25, install zowe via npm i -g @zowe/cli and then installed the plugin with zowe plugins install @zowe/db2-for-zowe-cli

And got the error. So my node version has not changed after install.

Node version support is determined entirely by the ibm_db dependency. It appears Node 25 support was added in 3.3.5, which will require a shrinkwrap update. However, Zowe does not provide official support for non-LTS versions of Node.

Alternatively, an investigation can be undertaken to update ibm_db to its latest released version 4.0.0, which switches to Node-API, and may solve these issues in the future.

Will look into this once the first active development version of node 26 comes out.
