src/distributions/base-distribution.ts


    // Create temporary folder to download to
-    const tempDownloadFolder = `temp_${uuidv4()}`;
+    const tempDownloadFolder = `temp_${crypto.randomUUID()}`;


The crypto.randomUUID() method requires Node.js 14.17.0+ or 16.0.0+. Consider adding a runtime check or documenting the minimum Node.js version requirement to ensure compatibility.

It's specified in

setup-node/package.json

Lines 7 to 9 in 89d709d

"engines": {

"node": ">=24.0.0"

},
