Research direction
Read the two named pages: src/content/docs/how-to-setup-freecodecamp-locally.mdx and src/content/docs/troubleshooting-development-issues.mdx. First confirm that freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp#70714 has merged and check whether Node 26 is Active LTS at that time. Update both Node 24 references to Node 26, keeping “Active LTS” only if accurate; leave the docs site's own Node version out of scope.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp#70714 moves freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp to Node 26 (.nvmrc, engines.node: ">=26"). Two pages still require Node 24:
src/content/docs/how-to-setup-freecodecamp-locally.mdx: the prerequisites table lists Node.js24.x, "The Active LTS version".src/content/docs/troubleshooting-development-issues.mdx: "Your operating system must support Node.js 24."
Proposal, when freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp#70714 merges:
- Change both pages to Node.js 26.
- Keep "Active LTS" only if Node 26 is Active LTS at that time. Node 26 enters LTS on 2026-10-28.
The docs site's own Node version (how-to-work-on-the-docs-site.mdx, .devcontainer, CI) is out of scope.
