+# Recommendations:
+# * Do not run `npm test`
+# * macOS and Ubuntu: Node.js v20.x and Python 3.12
+# * Windows: Node.js v16.x and Python 3.11 -- Do not run `node-gyp rebuild`
+#
+# Lessons learned:
+# 1. Node.js >= v21 fails
+# 2. Node.js >= 18 fails on Windows
+# 3. Python >= 3.12 fails on Node.js 16 because of distlib fixed in node-gyp v10.0
+# 4. `npm test` fails with: npm ERR! Missing script: "test"
+# 5. `node-gyp rebuild` fails on Node.js 16
