Proposed fix: [nvm in agents/Docker/CI] 'nvm: command not found' (and node/npm missing) in non-interactive shells — nvm is a shell function sourced from ~/.bashrc/.profile, which non-interactive bash
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
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.
