issue/varbase_components-3635520:3635520-update-nodejs-to-24-4.0.x into 4.0.x

Moves the Node.js pins on 4.0.x to 24, the floor Drupal core main declares in core/package.json. Node.js 20 reached end of life on 30 April 2026.

Issue: https://www.drupal.org/i/3635520

  • package.json: engines "node": ">= 24.0" and "yarn": ">= 4.18.1", packageManager yarn@4.18.1, with the Varbase .yarnrc.yml.
  • Dependency ranges use carets, ^MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, as Drupal core's package.json does. No major changes.
  • CI: .gitlab-ci.yml NodeSource setup_24.x, YARN_RC_FILENAME on .composer-base (every composer job, the variants included) and on stylelint, so Drupal core's own Yarn 4.9.1 no longer reads the project .yarnrc.yml.
  • DDEV: not present.
  • Upsun: not present.
  • Lockfiles are no longer committed: yarn.lock removed and ignored in .gitignore.

CI=true YARN_ENABLE_IMMUTABLE_INSTALLS=false yarn install with no lockfile, and the Cucumber dry-run (6 scenarios) pass on Node v24.22.2 and Yarn 4.18.1. MR pipeline 1033788 is green.
