WordPress trunk raised its Node.js requirement to 24.18 (npm 11.16) on 2026-09-08, and wordpress-develop sets engine-strict=true, so npm install in prepare.php now fails on Node.js 20. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Purpose
The test runner docs still ask for Node.js 20.x. That version no longer works.
wordpress-developtrunk raised its requirement to Node.js>=24.18.0and npm>=11.16.0("Build/Test Tools: Upgrade Node.js to 24.x").wordpress-develop/.npmrcsetsengine-strict = true.prepare.phpclones trunk and runsnpm install && npm run build.So a host that follows the docs installs Node.js 20, and
prepare.phpthen fails atnpm installwith an engine error.Change
