   Script uses the set date in

   docker-node/versions.json

   Line 4 in a1b5cb2

   "lts": "2026-10-28",

   
   Not a bug, but the stackbrew.js could be rewritten to make direct calls for to the index.json

   This shouldn't cause a problem until next LTS transition in October 2027. Nevertheless it would be better for index.json to be used. The dates aren't reliable, only a guideline.

   lts is either false or it contains the code name of the release, for example "Lithium".

   Using index.json would avoid also have to duplicate the code names locally.
