## Summary
Bumps node.js to 18.17.0 (replacement for PR #144012 which was later
reverted)
As a result, these categorical additions were needed:
- `node` evocations will need the `--openssl-legacy-provider` flag,
wherever it would use certain crypto functionalities
- tests required updating of the expected HTTPS Agent call arguments,
`noDelay` seems to be a default
- `window.[NAME]` fields cannot be written directly
- some stricter typechecks
This is using our in-house built node.js 18 versions through the URLs
the proxy-cache. (built with
https://github.com/elastic/kibana-custom-nodejs-builds/pull/4)
These urls are served from a bucket, where the RHEL7/Centos7 compatible
node distributables are. (see:
https://github.com/elastic/kibana-ci-proxy-cache/pull/7)
Further todos:
- [x] check docs wording and consistency
- [ ] update the dependency report
- [x] explain custom builds in documentation
- [x] node_sass prebuilts
