225ca2b6a6 [0.81] Lower minimum Node.js version to 20.19.4 (#52879)
* Lower minimum Node.js version to 20.19.4 (#52678)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/52678

From partner feedback, there's still appetite to support Node 20.x for the next <1y of life. Lower min version to `20.19.4` (Jul 2025) and widen test matrix in CI.

Changelog:
[General][Breaking] - Our new minimum Node version is Node.js 20 (Overrides #51840)

* Bump Metro to ^0.83.1, lower minimum Node.js version to 20.19

Summary:
Metro release notes: https://github.com/facebook/metro/releases/tag/v0.83.1

The only public-facing change is a lowering of the minimum Node.js version from 22.14 to 20.19.

This will need picking to RN `0.81-stable`

* Do not setup-node twice in test_js (#52737)

Summary:
I've noticed that test_js (20) and test_js (24) are actually running on Node 22.
That's because the `yarn-install` action is invoking setup-node again with the default value (22).

This changes it. Also I'm cleaning up the workflows so that every `yarn-install` invocation is happening just after the `setup-node` invocation.

## Changelog:

[INTERNAL] -

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/52737

Test Plan: CI which will most likely be red for test_js (20) so will need a follow-up

@react-native/debugger-frontend

npm package

Debugger frontend for React Native based on Chrome DevTools.

This package is internal to React Native and is intended to be used via @react-native/dev-middleware.

Usage

The package exports the absolute path to the directory containing the frontend assets.

const frontendPath = require('@react-native/debugger-frontend');

// Pass frontendPath to a static server, etc

Contributing

Source repo

Source code for this package lives in the facebook/react-native-devtools-frontend repo. See below for how we build and check in changes.

Updating the frontend assets

The compiled assets for the debugger frontend are periodically checked into this package under the dist/ folder. To update these, run node scripts/debugger-frontend/sync-and-build from the root of your react-native checkout.

# For main
node scripts/debugger-frontend/sync-and-build --branch main

# For stable branches (e.g. '0.73-stable')
node scripts/debugger-frontend/sync-and-build --branch 0.73-stable

By default, this will clone and build from facebook/react-native-devtools-frontend.
