CI fails due to node-sass incompatibility with Node.js v22.x

[JayaShakthi97]

Describe the issue:
The CI pipeline is failing due to incompatibility between the latest LTS version of Node.js (v22.x) and the version of node-sass currently in use (v8.x). According to the node-sass Node Version Support Policy, [email protected] is not compatible with Node.js v22, resulting in failures during dependency installation.

How to reproduce:

• Raise a PR to the main branch and observe the pr-builder.
• Ref: https://github.com/wso2/oxygen-ui/actions/runs/11687507686/job/32545767181?pr=303

Expected behavior:

• pr-builder to run without any issues.

Proposed Solutions

1. Upgrade node-sass (if possible): Check if a newer version of node-sass (if available) supports Node.js v22. Update to that version if feasible.
2. Switch to sass (Dart Sass): Consider replacing node-sass with sass (Dart Sass), which is compatible with all Node.js versions and does not require native bindings.
3. Pin Node.js Version: Temporarily pin the Node.js version in CI to an older LTS version (e.g., Node v18) that is compatible with [email protected]. This will unblock the CI pipeline until an alternative solution is implemented.
