Missing .nvmrc / .node-version

A package.json with no pinned Node version means nvm, asdf, Volta and your CI runner each pick whatever Node they happen to have.

What it checks

Fires when package.json exists but no .nvmrc / .node-version pins the Node runtime. nvm/asdf/Volta users (and CI runners) need this for reproducible toolchains.

Fires only when package.json exists and neither .nvmrc nor .node-version is present. The two files are interchangeable for this check.

What a finding says

package.json exists but no .nvmrc / .node-version pins the runtime. nvm/asdf/Volta users (and CI runners) will silently pick whatever Node is on PATH. Add a one-line .nvmrc with the target version.

Turning it off

Silence the gate for the whole project in .l0git.json:

{
  "ignore": ["nvmrc_missing"]
}

Or keep it running at a lower severity:

{
  "severity": { "nvmrc_missing": "info" }
}
