That work landed in pull request 1570, closing issue 1569, with earlier context linked in issue 699. According to the issue, this was an operator decision to replace N V M with F N M wherever the project uses it. The central behavior change is in the install script. On a host with no suitable Node version, the…
The second theme is consistency and maintainability. The same pull request replaces remaining N V M references across install-related areas, including self-upgrade logic, first-install smoke coverage, and supporting guidance. That matters because a partial migration is a release risk — if scripts, checks, or docs…
