Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Adds a CLI pre-flight check that blocks command execution when the running Node.js version is below the minimum supported version (>= 22.12.0), resolving #2890.

Changes:

• Introduce preFlightChecks() with a Node version gate using semver.
• Register a Commander preAction hook to run pre-flight checks before executing commands.
• Add semver and its TypeScript types to the CLI package dependencies.

Calling process.exit(1) inside a utility invoked from Commander hooks makes this harder to test and can bypass any centralized error handling/cleanup. Prefer throwing an error (or a Commander-specific error type) and letting the CLI entrypoint decide the exit code.

Suggested change

	logger.error(
	`Markbind ${CLI_VERSION} requires Node >=22.12.0. `
	+'Please update Node or use an older version of MarkBind!'
	);
	process.exit(1);
	constmessage=`Markbind ${CLI_VERSION} requires Node >=22.12.0. `
	+'Please update Node or use an older version of MarkBind!';
	logger.error(message);
	thrownewError(message);

I'm thinking to leave this in. Throwing an error will print the whole stack trace to the user, it's ugly and less helpful from the user's standpoint IMO.

Instead I've added some explicit documentation through jsDoc that says calling the function may exit the process if checks fail.
