Bump npm version from 10.9.3 to 11.6.2 latest

[thavaahariharangit]

What are you trying to accomplish?

In my previous PR update, I updated the Dockerfile. However, I overlooked some related changes, which I’ve now addressed in this update.

Anything you want to highlight for special attention from reviewers?

I've addressed @yeikel's feedback in this comment.

Regarding the question about Node 22 and NPM 11 compatibility (reference):

The Dockerfile is already configured correctly - it will automatically pull the latest Node.js 22.x (which is currently 22.21.1) from the nodesource repository. The NODEJS_VERSION=22 just specifies the major version for the repository URL.

The current configuration is optimal:

• NODEJS_VERSION=22 - This is correct and will install the latest 22.x
• NPM_VERSION=11.6.2 - This is compatible (requires Node.js >= 22.9.0)

How will you know you've accomplished your goal?

I reproduced the original error in this workflow: GitHub Actions run, where the updater defaulted to installing npm@10.

After applying the update, the local logs now show that the correct version npm@11.6.2 is being installed and used, confirming that the engine constraints are being properly processed and the issue is resolved.

Can we add a test that validates that this works?

ie:

Using

"engines": {
"npm": ">=11.0.0"
  }

@thavaahariharangit Please review github/docs#41144 as well

@thavaahariharangit Please review github/docs#41144 as well

I have approved this PR, It's a draft PR, we need to wait @yeikel to update this.

[yeikel]

Thank you for adding the test 🙏

And yes, as soon as this change is merged, I'll move the docs pull request to ready

[yeikel]

One change related to this is #13404

If we can merge #13404 then we can ensure that this pull request does not also need to update bun/Dockerfile as I don't believe that bun needs to have and track a version for npm

[yeikel]

This change should close #13205 and #13158

[thavaahariharangit]

#13404

I am happy with this changes, I will merge and deploy with this changes.

[yeikel]

Looks great now. Thanks!
