Comment:
I ''believe'' that after [61873] (which removed the requirement to
checkout and build the `gutenberg` repository as a part of the build
script for this one) this will no longer be a problem.
> That said, I know in Gutenberg and Core, there were recent discussions
about upgrading minimal Node.JS version. @jsnajdr or @desrosj might know
what's the status there.
Just connecting conversations.
[https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/72973 This issue in the
Gutenberg repository] is discussing and planning around updating Node.js
to 24.x in `wordpress-develop` and `gutenberg`.
There's a [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/upgrading-
node-js-npm-in-wordpress/ new page in the Core Handbook] documenting the
process to upgrade the version of Node.js/npm used. I think it would be
helpful to add a section about coordinating with the other projects across
the WordPress org, like Playground.
Adding a `close` suggestion pending confirmation that [61873] resolves the
problem.
