New description:

 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].

 After grepping the WordPress and Gutenberg sources for "playground", the
 only Playground dependency I could find in Core or Gutenberg is by `wp-
 env`. If that is indeed the only dependency, then 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`].
