Major bug was fixed in concerning apps started with npm start about node

[marco-ippolito]

@richardlau there were some issue with the CI flakiness making impossible to backport.
I guess as soon as this land #51898 I can create the proposal for 21.
The NPM was just updated and will be pulled in 21.7

node 21.7.0 has been live for around a week, I would consider this solved

Hi, team, any idea when the updated NPM is coming to LTS, for example 20.11.1, versions? A lot of NodeJs applications that are being launched with "npm start" don't work now causing interruption of DB queries, HTTP requests, etc.

AFAIK release for 20 is planned for 2024-03-26 @richardlau

This is a duplicate of #48946.

npm 10.3.0 is on main (#51431) but hasn't gone out in a Node.js 21 release yet. Our usual policy would be for things to be released in a current release (i.e. Node.js 21) first for two weeks before it would be eligible for inclusion in long-term support releases (i.e. Node.js 20 and 18).

Do you know when the next Node.js 21 release is going live?

It was planned for last week but I'm not sure why it didn't happen as I was away.

Hi, team, any updates? Shall I expect a delay in the release of [email protected] for older node versions?

I'm hoping to get #52212 and #52165 out later today.
