`engine` field in `package.json`

Describe the problem you would like to solve

I would like the metadata of the Node.JS package for OJS to tell me which versions of NodeJS are supported. This might help to avoid errors when running npm run build with OJS 3.3 on Debian Bookworm through Node 18.

Describe the solution you’d like

Use package.json | npm Docs

Hi @jonr,

Dodging the ask slightly – but you can still build OJS 3.3.0-x with Node v18 using the following:

NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider npm run build

Would we still want add an engine field to package.json to record and track supported Node versions?
