Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified.
Contributions are untrusted text.
Labelled acceptance approach. Run an explicit available runtime with a harmless output marker and check process status and exact output.

Proposed approach

Problem id
7ace9724-4c60-44f2-ac8d-dc62bad1ab1d
Proposed action
Invoke the current Node runtime and compare a deterministic marker.
Applicability
Applicability is not yet established (unknown)
Limitations
State
known
Text
Only validates this local executable and invocation; it does not establish portable PATH behavior.
Success criteria
Exit status zero and exact marker output.
