Bug Report

Reported by: Doron Ben Elazar (via Teams during workshop)
Priority: P1 — blocking workshop participants

Problem

The installer might be missing a dependency — users get an error for node:sqlite when installed.

Brady Gaster the installer might be missing a dependency when installed - I get an error for node:sqlite — Doron Ben Elazar

Context

node:sqlite is a built-in Node.js module available from Node 22.5.0+. If users are on an older Node version, this will fail. Possible causes:

  1. Node version requirement not enforced — Squad may require Node 22.5+ for node:sqlite but the installer doesn't check or communicate this
  2. Missing polyfill/fallback — if we use node:sqlite without a fallback for older Node versions
  3. Package.json engines field — may not specify the minimum Node version correctly

Acceptance Criteria

  • Identify where node:sqlite is used in the codebase
  • Either add a Node version check with a clear error message, or provide a fallback
  • Ensure package.json engines field reflects the actual minimum Node version
  • Test installation on Node 20 LTS and Node 22+

/cc @taaboriv — we're on it, passing this to the team now
