 Storybook is a large TypeScript monorepo. The git root is the repo root, the main code lives in `code/`, and build tooling lives in `scripts/`. The default branch is `next`.
 
 - **Base branch**: `next` (all PRs should target `next`, not `main`)
-- **Node.js**: `22.22.1` (see `.nvmrc`) — supports `.ts` natively via type stripping (no loader needed)
+- **Node.js**: `22.12+` (see `.nvmrc`) — supports `.ts` natively via type stripping (no loader needed)
 - **Package Manager**: Yarn Berry
 - **Task orchestration**: NX plus the custom `yarn task` runner
 - **CI environment**: Linux and Windows
