Description

In npm.yml, the matrix defines node-version: [16.x, 17.x, 18.x], but setup-node receives node-version: ${{ env.node-version }}. Since it's undefined in env:, setup-node skips installation and all matrix jobs run on the runner's default Node.

Because of this, build (ubuntu-latest, 16.x) is green in the latest scheduled run despite vite ^8.2.1 requiring Node ^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0.

Wiring matrix.node-version as-is would break the build, so the matrix values need to be updated as well. Would a PR fixing both be welcome?

Research direction

Open npm.yml and compare the matrix node-version values with the value passed to setup-node. Update the workflow so setup-node uses the matrix value, then align the matrix versions with Vite's required Node versions and verify each matrix build uses the intended runtime.
