Description
The current text says: We do acknowledge the irony and overhead of using npm to install Corepack, which is at least part of why the preferred option is to use the Corepack version that is distributed along with Node.js itself.
However as of node 25 there is no version of corepack distributed with nodejs, so the preferred option is now not possible to use.

Research direction
Start in README.md and verify the Corepack distribution statement against Node.js 25. Update the outdated preferred-option guidance so it no longer assumes Corepack is bundled with Node.js; done when the README accurately reflects current installation options.
