The fix addresses an issue where the engine-strict flag is not enforced during the version resolution phase in npm. When engine-strict is enabled, npm should only install package versions that are compatible with the current Node.js version, as specified in the package's engines field. However, prior to this fix, npm did not consider the engines.node field during version resolution, potentially leading to the installation of incompatible package versions.
Enforces engine-strict During Version Resolution:
Modifies the build-ideal-tree.js file to ensure that when engine-strict is enabled, npm filters out package versions that are incompatible with the current Node.js version before selecting which version to install.
