## From the publisher

Workers Builds now uses Node.js 24.18.0 by default. The build image preinstalls Node.js 22.23.2 and 24.18.0. You can continue to override the default with the NODE\_VERSION environment variable, an .nvmrc file, or a .node-version file. For more information, refer to Override default versions.
