Summary

HACKING.md lists Node.js v16+ as a build prerequisite, but the project
actually requires Node.js v24:

Source Value
.nvmrc 24.15.0
package.json engines >=24.0.0 <25.0.0

New contributors following the current docs would install a Node version
that's eight major versions behind and incompatible with the project.

Changes

  • HACKING.md line 15: Node.js v16+Node.js v24+ (see .nvmrc for the exact version)

This is a one-line documentation fix with no code changes.

HACKING.md listed Node.js v16+ as a prerequisite, but the project
requires Node.js v24 (.nvmrc pins 24.15.0, package.json engines
require >=24.0.0 <25.0.0). Update the documented requirement so new
contributors install the correct version.
