Documentation / Testing / Upgrade Considerations
I think "we support node LTS" is our goal. Due to issues such as #8599, docs on Platform Requirements currently cite v18.16.0 specifically. In that case, @kbennett2000 regularly tests the getting started docs to be sure it works. I don't think we have a corresponding maintenance trigger for CONTRIBUTING, so "LTS" is probably better.
ci tests 18.x and 20.x, which are the 2 current LTS versions according to the node release schedule:
