#19131 Upgrade default nodejs distribution to current LTS Issue created by tobni Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Pants should default to a currently supported LTS version of nodejs. Describe the solution you'd like Bump the default to either 18 or 20. I lean 18 because that is current defaults by cloud providers 🤷‍♂️ Describe alternatives you've considered None Additional context nodejs 16 stops receiving security updates in 3 months https://endoflife.date/nodejs, pants should not default to use EOL releases. pantsbuild/pants
