Description

I reinstalled the latest version of Node (20.1.0) on MacOS (12.6.5 Monterey). Since then I have been unable to run Hyper - it just opens a blank window, then the window disappears.
I have tried completely deleting Hyper (including Application Support settings) and reinstalling, but the exact same issue is reproduced.
Any idea what the problem might be?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the blank-window and disappearing-window behavior on macOS 12.6.5 after installing Node 20.1.0. Investigate the startup failure using the repository's available diagnostics; done means identifying the Node-related cause and confirming that Hyper launches normally afterward.
