In @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Around line 53-55: Update the ci job’s runtime configuration to include
Node.js 24 coverage, aligning it with package.json’s devEngines.runtime.version;
replace the current Node.js 22 runtime with node@24 unless Node.js 22 is
intentionally retained as separate compatibility coverage. Keep the existing
test, build, and type-check workflow unchanged.
In `@package.json`:
- Around line 50-53: Update the package-manager setup configuration around the
pnpm version 12.3.4 declaration to provide a direct bootstrap path for local
Node.js 25+ environments, such as an explicit installation step for the pinned
pnpm version. Ensure first-time setup does not depend on Corepack or an
already-running pnpm executable; alternatively, document Node.js 25+ local setup
as unsupported if bootstrap cannot be added.

site:github.com/pnpm/setup README runtime input devEngines.runtime explicit runtime
💡 Result:
In the context of the pnpm/setup GitHub Action, devEngines.runtime is a configuration property within a project's package.json that defines the required runtime environment (Node.js, Bun, or Deno) for that project [1][2]. The action uses this property as a source of truth for runtime management, either as an automatic default or as a fallback for explicit inputs [2][3]. Key behaviors regarding devEngines.runtime and the runtime input include: 1. Automatic Setup: If the runtime input is omitted from the action configuration entirely, the action automatically reads the devEngines.runtime field from package.json and installs the specified runtime and version [2][3]. 2. Fallback Mechanism: If the runtime input is provided as a name only (e.g., node) without a specific version, the action uses that name and falls back to the version defined in the project's devEngines.runtime [2][3]. 3. Explicit Override and Shadowing Prevention: When an explicit runtime input (e.g., node@22) is provided, it takes precedence over any settings in devEngines.runtime [4][3]. To prevent the project's devEngines.runtime from shadowing the explicitly chosen runtime during subsequent installation steps, the action automatically appends the --no-runtime flag to the pnpm install command (requires pnpm ≥ 11.1.0) [5][4]. Structure of devEngines.runtime in package.json: { "devEngines": { "runtime": { "name": "node", "version": "^22.0.0", "onFail": "download" } } } [1][6]

pnpm devEngines.runtime pnpm install --no-runtime explicit runtime pnpm/setup install false
💡 Result:
The combination of features you mentioned relates to pnpm's modern system for managing JavaScript runtimes (Node.js, Deno, and Bun) within a project. devEngines.runtime This configuration field in package.json allows you to specify required JavaScript runtimes for a project [1][2]. When configured with onFail: "download", pnpm automatically resolves, downloads, and pins the required runtime version, storing it in the lockfile for consistent execution across environments [1][3][4]. pnpm install --no-runtime The --no-runtime flag (available in pnpm v11.1.0+) instructs pnpm to skip the actual downloading and bin-linking of runtime entries defined in devEngines.runtime [5][6][7]. Crucially, it leaves the lockfile untouched, allowing frozen-lockfile installations to continue to pass validation [5][6]. This is primarily intended for CI/CD environments where the runtime is already provisioned externally (e.g., via the pnpm runtime command or other setup actions) before the install step [5][6][8]. pnpm/setup install false The pnpm/setup GitHub Action (typically for pnpm v11+) no longer runs pnpm install automatically by default [9]. When using this action, setting install: false explicitly prevents the action from running the install step [10][8][9]. This is useful for workflows that need to perform manual orchestration, such as running specific commands before the dependency installation [8]. If you are using the pnpm/setup action with the runtime input enabled, the action may automatically append the --no-runtime flag to subsequent install commands to ensure that the externally provisioned runtime is not overwritten or shadowed by the runtime declared in the project's package.json [8].

Add Node.js 24 coverage to the CI matrix. The ci job explicitly runs under Node.js 22, while package.json declares devEngines.runtime.version: ^24.0.0. The pinned pnpm/setup action disables the project runtime shim, so the test, build, and type-check commands run under Node.js 22. Keep Node.js 22 only if it is intentional compatibility coverage; otherwise set runtime: node@24.

Node.js Corepack removed bundled Node.js 25 official documentation
💡 Result:
Starting with Node.js v25.0.0, Corepack is no longer bundled with the official Node.js distribution [1][2]. This change was a result of a decision by the Node.js Technical Steering Committee (TSC) in March 2025 to phase out the distribution of Corepack within the Node.js core [3][4]. While Corepack was included with Node.js versions from v14.19.0 up to (but not including) v25.0.0, it is no longer present in the v25 release lines and beyond [1][2]. For users who require Corepack, it remains available as a package on npm [3]. To use it with Node.js v25 and later versions, you must install it globally using the following command [3][2]: npm install -g corepack Once installed via npm, Corepack functions similarly to how it did when bundled, though it does not require the corepack enable step that was necessary when using the version previously included with Node.js [3]. Existing projects or workflows that rely on the bundled version should be updated to account for this installation requirement [5][6][7].

official npm devEngines packageManager onFail download documentation
💡 Result:
The devEngines field in package.json allows developers to specify required environments for a project, including runtime, os, cpu, libc, and packageManager [1][2]. Within this field, the onFail property defines the action taken when validation fails [1][2]. While the technical specification for devEngines defines four possible values for onFail—ignore, warn, error, and download—npm has explicitly chosen not to implement the download option due to security concerns [3][2][4]. In the context of npm: - onFail supports ignore, warn, and error [1][5]. - If onFail is left undefined, it defaults to error [1][6]. - The download option is not supported; if specified in npm, it will not trigger an automatic download of the required tool or version [3][4]. In contrast, other package managers (such as pnpm) may support the download option for devEngines to remediate validation failures by automatically fetching the necessary tool version [7]. For users relying on npm, environment requirements must be managed through explicit installation or alternative tools if strict version enforcement is required [3][4].

site:pnpm.io/package_json devEngines onFail download packageManager pnpm
💡 Result:
In pnpm, the devEngines configuration allows you to specify version requirements for runtimes and the package manager itself, with an onFail property to define behavior when the installed version does not meet the specified range [1]. For the packageManager, you can configure this in your package.json as follows [1]: { "devEngines": { "packageManager": { "name": "pnpm", "version": ">=11.0.0 <12.0.0", "onFail": "download" } } } When onFail is set to "download", pnpm will attempt to automatically download and use the version that satisfies the specified range if the current version does not match [1]. Key details include: - Version Ranges: Unlike the standard packageManager field, devEngines.packageManager supports version ranges [1]. - Lockfile Integration: The resolved version is stored in pnpm-lock.yaml under packageManagerDependencies and is reused as long as it continues to satisfy the defined range [1]. - Overrides: You can override the onFail behavior defined in the manifest by using the pmOnFail setting, which allows you to change the behavior without modifying the package.json file directly [1].

Add a direct pnpm bootstrap for Node.js 25+ local setup.
devEngines.packageManager.onFail: "download" only runs after a pnpm executable starts. It cannot bootstrap the first pnpm command. README.md still requires corepack enable, but Node.js 25+ does not bundle Corepack. Add a direct installation step for pnpm@12.3.4, or document that Node.js 25+ local setup is unsupported.
