## Statements (checkable)
0. The Node.js release schedule lists v20 (Iron) end of life as 2026-04-30 and v18 end of life as 2025-04-30.  [✓0 ✗0]
1. v22 (Jod) ends 2027-04-30; v24 (Krypton) ends 2028-04-30.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Move runtimes, CI images and engines.node to 22.x or 24.x; platforms (Wrangler, Vercel, GitHub Actions) are removing Node 20 support on their own dates.
```
