Description

We need to add better Node version checks. The current one doesn’t cover all requirements (like Node >= 8.9.0).

Research direction
Look at the current Node version check in the repository, likely in the `packages/react scripts/scripts/` directory or related config files. Determine where the version requirement is enforced and update the check to verify Node >= 8.9.0. Review existing comments for additional context or proposed solutions.
