Description

I'm trying to pass

transformSync(code, filename, {
    target: 'node'
})

to @swc-node/core 1.8.2 and it seems to reject the target

    unknown variant `node`, expected one of `es3`, `es5`, `es2015`, `es2016`, `es2017`, `es2018`, `es2019`, `es2020`, `es2021`, `es2022` at line 1 column 439

which is weird because https://swc.rs/docs/configuration/supported-browsers#targets seems to make it clear that node is an option. I've contributed to this repo before so happy to help, but curious if you know what's going on?

Research direction

Confirm whether the documented node target is supported by this package version; done when the discrepancy is clarified and the relevant behavior or documentation is aligned.
