We just removed .nvmrc from Ariakit and let pnpm manage Node.js too. If your project already uses pnpm, you may not need a separate Node version manager. Here’s the migration:

1. Pin Node for the project: `pnpm runtime set node 24` This adds devEngines.runtime to package.json. Then pnpm install resolves an exact Node version, records its checksum in pnpm-lock.yaml, and installs it locally.

2. Point GitHub Actions at the same configuration: - uses: actions/setup-node@v6 with: node-version-file: package.json The result: package.json becomes the single source of truth for both pnpm and Node, and contributors don’t need to switch Node manually.
