Description

Is it possible to detect that there is a version mismatch between node and the core file, and print an error or warning? Here I'm using the wrong version of node with a core file, and it doesn't complain, but it would be helpful if it did.

(lldb) target create "node" --core "core.3397"
Core file '/mnt/core.3397' (x86_64) was loaded.
(lldb) v8 nodeinfo
No process objects found.

Research direction
Implement a check that compares the Node.js version embedded in the core file with the version of the node binary being used, and emit a warning if they differ.
