Description
I executed the command yarn global add node-gyp and the error I received was:
[1/4] 🔍 Resolving packages...
[2/4] 🚚 Fetching packages...
error @achrinza/node-ipc@9.2.6: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "8 || 9 || 10 || 11 || 12 || 13 || 14 || 15 || 16 || 17 || 18 || 19". Got "20.9.0"
error Found incompatible module.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/global for documentation about this command.
I doubt this is a specific node-gyp issue, but I am not sure where else to report it.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported yarn global add node-gyp command with Node 20.9.0 and inspect why @achrinza/node-ipc@9.2.6 is installed with an incompatible engine range. Confirm whether the failure belongs to node-gyp or that dependency; done means the responsible package has a compatible installation path or the report is redirected to its owner.
