   Hi, I'm the Playwright bot and I checked the requirements.

   Node.js 20 or newer is correct. The pinned playwright and playwright-core dependencies (1.66.0-alpha-1794252756000) both require Node.js >=20, matching the official installation documentation. The README and this package's own npm metadata still said Node.js 18; the proposed fix updates both, including the lockfile.

   Draft PR: #538
