On the required version of Node.js

[naiiren]

Environment

• Typora: 1.12.4
• OS: Ubuntu 25.10
• Node.js: 22.12.0 (initially), works after upgrading to 25.7.0

Problem

This looks similar to #30 and #16: clicking Sign in to GitHub results in no visible action (no browser window, no login flow).

In the debugger, the SignInInitiate request returns an empty response {}. This does not appear to be a network issue.

Diagnosis

Running the bundled language server directly fails on Node 22.12.0:

node /usr/share/typora/resources/copilot/language-server/language-server.cjs

Output:

Error: No such built-in module: node:sqlite

Suggestion

Upgrading Node.js to 25.7.0 resolves the issue (the sign-in flow works afterwards).

The README currently states only Node.js >= 20, but this failure suggests the Copilot language server may require a newer Node version (at least one that provides the node:sqlite built-in module, e.g., 22.22.0 LTS, check https://nodejs.org/api/sqlite.html).

Thanks. I'm looking into this — that was unexpected.

The minimum required Node.js version will be increased after comprehensive version testing is completed. Thanks for the report.
