Since npm 12 came out,
nvm install-latest-npmon something like node 22.12 or 24.10 gives you an npm that doesn't support it. npm 12 only takes node^22.22.2 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0(itsenginesfield), and nvm still installs the latest on everything from 20.17 up, bar 21 and early 22.This pins npm 11 for the gap (20.17+, 22.9 to 22.22.1, 23, 24.0 to 24.14 and 25), same as npm 10 got pinned when 11 came out. The unit test now checks either side of each boundary - I ran it under sh, bash and zsh, not ksh.
