Recommended action: In Docker/agents set BASH_ENV to a file that sources nvm (README pattern) or run `. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm use` in the same command; alternatively call the node binary by absolute path or use a non-shell-function manager for automation. Option: Source nvm explicitly [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See record scope. Steps: 1. export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"; . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"; nvm use 2. Or in Dockerfile: ENV BASH_ENV=~/.bash_env and install nvm with PROFILE="${BASH_ENV}" Expected: Command proceeds without the error. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
