Installation fails on Node.js 24 - better-sqlite3 dependency needs update to v12.x #28
Description
Problem
Installation fails on Node.js 24 (LTS "Krypton") because the better-sqlite3 dependency is pinned to ^11.10.0, which doesn't have prebuilt binaries for Node.js 24.
Error
npm warn exec The following package was not found and will be installed: [email protected]
prebuild-install warn install No prebuilt binaries found (target=24.11.1 runtime=node arch=arm64 libc= platform=darwin)
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: gyp failed with exit code: 1
The installation falls back to building from source with node-gyp, which fails.
