Update node/npm engines

[helgatheviking]

@wordpress/scripts requires node 18+. npm run packages-update produces the following

npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE   package: '@wordpress/[email protected]',
npm WARN EBADENGINE   required: { node: '>=18', npm: '>=6.14.4' },
npm WARN EBADENGINE   current: { node: 'v16.19.1', npm: '8.19.3' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }
npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE   package: '@wordpress/[email protected]',
npm WARN EBADENGINE   required: { node: '>=18' },
npm WARN EBADENGINE   current: { node: 'v16.19.1', npm: '8.19.3' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }

.nvmrc is Node 16.

@helgatheviking Thank you for reporting this!

It looks like the issue is that the npm run package-update changes the constraint for the @wordpress/scripts package to ^27.6.0 and forces it to be upgraded without any regard for other constraints in place (Such as the Node version).

We will schedule some time to look into upgrading the package and testing on Node 18, in the meantime skip the npm run package-update step.

Hey @helgatheviking - We're planning to upgrade this to node 20, to be on the same page as WooCommerce (which recently upgraded)

We'll ping you when done
