misc: relax node 18 support

[paulirish]

#15290 touched this last

but my cloudtop runs 18.13.0 right now and can't upgrade farther.

fixing this is one of the things that will get the autoroll back again

Did you verify that yarn unit runs fine on that node version?

if just for installing there is a setting to ignore this engine field: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45088031/how-to-ignore-incompatible-engine-node-error-on-installing-npm-dependencies-wi

if this is preventing you from running, maybe using node directly rather than yarn/npm run would avoid any check.

Alt: in the autoroll script let's cut out this engine field.

Assuming that the tests fail on this lower version, you'll need to do above instead

we didn't write down specifically why this is the min version (see #15290 (comment) )

this works for me. i'll just set that in the autoroll scripts. cl/582402660

it does exit with 0 though i do see some snapshot failures... :/ investigating...
nvm i have a stupid alias for 'yarn' and its not passing along exit code...

and smokes had these 2 failures:

but i havent run these on main in a long time so... no idea if my machine is off.
