issue/vartheme_bs5-3635499:3635499-update-nodejs-to-24 into 5.0.x

Moves every Node.js pin on 5.0.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/3635499

  • package.json engines "node": ">= 24.0". The yarn floor >= 4.9.3 already holds and stays.
  • .gitlab-ci.yml: image: node:24 for the Cucumber dry-run.
  • scripts/install-needed-tools.sh, scripts/README.md and AGENTS.md: Node.js 24 instead of 18 and 20.
  • yarn.lock and tests/package-lock.json re-resolved within the existing ranges (256 and 9 versions). No package.json range changes; transitive @types/node kept at 25.9.0.

The Cucumber dry-run, and yarn install --immutable plus yarn theme:build on the refreshed lock, pass in node:24.

Remaining tasks

  • Varbase Starter host and a11y jobs green on this pipeline
  • @types/node ~20 still arrives through @vardot/varbase-e2e in tests/package-lock.json, left as is
