How this service works
A specific platform gotcha that costs real debugging time: Vercel's build and serverless runtime ignore .nvmrc entirely, so a Node bump your GitHub Actions picks up via node-version-file never reaches production. The two-line fix, why to pin an exact minor, and the engine-strict caveat. As-of 2026-07-13.
