------------------------------+-----------------------------
WordPress Core builds broke recently due to a mismatch between the Node.js
versions supported by WordPress Core and WordPress Playround.
This was reported by @barry
[https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C04EWKGDJ0K/p1770671811915499 in
Slack], and there is a workaround in place to avoid the breakage.
Core declares
[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/package.json?rev=61605#L13
compatibility with Node.js 20.10.0 and above] while Playground declares
[https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
playground/blob/015974cd26f8d50e64df335ca64fc963d8145b0f/package.json#L228
compatibility with Node.js 22.12.0 and above].
Based on grepping WordPress and Gutenberg sources for "playground", this
conflict appears to occur due to
[https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/2472df3b94769892778f9f396b5d8607caeac554/packages/env/package.json#L47
a wp-env dependency on `@wp-playground/cli`].
