WSL version 2.6.3.0
When running npm test on my WSL ubuntu 24.04 I face this exited code
`[process exited with code 1 (0x00000001)]
You can now close this terminal with Ctrl+D, or press Enter to restart.`
after some time.
node version is 12.22.12
While running the same npm test on my windows it runs fine, because I want to have flexibilty with my node versions (I usually change my node versions depending on projects)
is this an issue with WSL or on the node

### Repro Steps

install node verison 12.22.
run npm test it fails after some time

### Expected Behavior

npm test should be successfully completed operation

### Actual Behavior

system errored out/exited with code 1

### Diagnostic Logs

_No response_

Start by reproducing the failure in WSL 2 on Ubuntu 24.04 with Node.js 12.22.12 and `npm test`, comparing it with the reported Windows behavior. No source files, tests, or diagnostic logs are identified; done would be determining whether the exit originates in WSL or Node.js and collecting evidence that supports the conclusion.
