Description

The production Dockerfile and the CI pipeline use different Node.js versions, which could lead to differences in behavior between CI-tested code and deployed code.

The Issue

Dockerfile (line 1): FROM node:20-alpine — production runs on Node 20
.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml (lines 17, 33, 49): node-version: 22 — all CI jobs use Node 22

Impact

Code that passes tests on Node 22 might behave differently or break on Node 20 in production
For example, Node 22 has different JavaScript features, ICU data, and TLS behavior than Node 20
Dependencies might resolve differently or have different compatibility

Fix

Match the versions. Either:

Update the Dockerfile to use node:22-alpine
Or update the CI to use node-version: 20

Since the Dockerfile runs npm ci --legacy-peer-deps and the app was developed with Node 24.x locally (per build-output.log), aligning to the newer version is recommended.
