[Potential Bug] package.json node version is not compatible with typescript version

[zhuoqun-chen]

Hi @Mateusz-Grzelinski, I think here in package.json has some version compatible issue, at least on my side:

"devDependencies": {
    "@types/node": "^8.10.25",
    "typescript": "^5.5.2"
  },

> npm install
> npm run vscode:prepublish

> blender-development@0.0.26 vscode:prepublish
> npm run compile

> blender-development@0.0.26 compile
> tsc -p ./

node_modules/@types/node/base.d.ts:800:11 - error TS2430: Interface 'NodeBuffer' incorrectly extends interface 'Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>'.
  The types of 'slice(...).buffer' are incompatible between these types.
    Type 'ArrayBufferLike' is not assignable to type 'ArrayBuffer'.
      Type 'SharedArrayBuffer' is not assignable to type 'ArrayBuffer'.
        Types of property '[Symbol.toStringTag]' are incompatible.
          Type '"SharedArrayBuffer"' is not assignable to type '"ArrayBuffer"'.

800 interface NodeBuffer extends Uint8Array {
              ~~~~~~~~~~


Found 1 error in node_modules/@types/node/base.d.ts:800

After upgrading the node type to ^20.19.3, it worked out for me:

npm run vscode:prepublish

> blender-development@0.0.26 vscode:prepublish
> npm run compile


> blender-development@0.0.26 compile
> tsc -p ./

I'm very happy to create a PR for this if it's a common issue.

thanks for the heads up, I will remember about it next time I compile the code. "@types/node": "^8.10.25", is getting really old.
I just noted that we do not have a lock file...
What version of node are you using? node --version Last time I think I was running v22.18.0

I'm using exactly v20.19.3, and I think as long as node and typescript versions are matching with each other, it should be fine.

As for the lock file, I think it's indeed a problem, because without it, the ci workflow publish.ymlwill fail in the npm ci step (it requires to read from lock file)
