Issue
On Oct 29, 2024 Node.js 22.x transitioned from Current status into Active Long Term Support (LTS) status with the release of Node.js 22.11.0, codename 'Jod'.
Node.js 20.x previously transitioned from Active LTS to Maintenance LTS status on Oct 22, 2024 (see Node.js release schedule).
factory/.env currently calls out FACTORY_DEFAULT_NODE_VERSION='20.18.0' referring to what is now a Node.js Maintenance LTS version.
Suggestion
Update FACTORY_DEFAULT_NODE_VERSION='20.18.0' to 22.11.0.
