What do you want to change?

I'd like for there to be a way to re-use one version of node/npm to install extensions so that Pi doesn't keep reinstalling packages.

Why?

I'm using Mise, but would also apply to asdf. Whenever I open a new repository that uses a node version I haven't used before, PI has to install plugins again. In some cases installation fails because of unsupported node/npm versions.

How? (optional)

Either of these could work. I'm partial to option #2 myself.

1. Adding a config option to hard-code node/npm paths
2. Config option to customize the install command so I can do something like mise exec node@20 -- npm install
