+    Downloads a pinned supported Node LTS tarball (the version is embedded in the script and updated independently, default `22.22.2`) to `<prefix>/tools/node-v<version>` and verifies SHA-256.
     On Alpine/musl Linux, where Node does not publish compatible tarballs for the pinned runtime, installs `nodejs` and `npm` with `apk` and links that runtime into the prefix wrapper path. The Alpine repositories must provide a supported Node version (22.19+, 23.11+, or 24+); use Alpine 3.21 or newer if older repositories only provide Node 20 or 21.
