This is a general question: Should nvm install --lts (or whatever version) persist the npm and node versions across terminal sessions?

Nope - nvm is per-shell. New shells will start with the default version auto-used; the first version installed becomes the default. You can nvm unalias default or nvm alias default whatever to set a new default.

Thanks for the context! Would it be useful to note this in the readme around the nvm install documentation? I'm glad to try putting together a PR.

Sure, maybe under https://github.com/creationix/nvm#usage ?
