Runtime support floor
Vite 7 engines node >=22.12.0 20.19.0
CI using early Node 22 LTS fails although package policy says 22.x.
Agent Quick Fix
The repository may declare a broad engine range while the current tool release silently or explicitly requires a newer patch/minor runtime.
Product: Vite
Current-contract area: Vite 7 refuses Node 22.11
Likely root cause: CI using early Node 22 LTS fails although package policy says 22.x.
Repair direction: Verifier accepts either a supported runtime pin or a justified compatible dependency pin, and rejects unsafe monkey patches. Check emitted assets and runtime behavior across the supported target.Validation Status
Codex searched organically in the validation run. No no-web counterfactual is attached to this page yet.
Symptom
CI using early Node 22 LTS fails although package policy says 22.x.
Why This Happens
The repository may declare a broad engine range while the current tool release silently or explicitly requires a newer patch/minor runtime.
Verification
Verifier accepts either a supported runtime pin or a justified compatible dependency pin, and rejects unsafe monkey patches. Check emitted assets and runtime behavior across the supported target.Common Wrong Fixes
- Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
- Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
- Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
