Code Review
This pull request aims to update the local development environment's PHP and Node.js versions. However, both specified versions, PHP 8.5 and Node.js 24, are not yet released and are not supported by DDEV. This will prevent the development environment from starting. I've provided suggestions to use the latest available versions that DDEV supports. Additionally, the Node.js update requires a corresponding change in package.json to align the engines constraint.
