Problems with new nodejs >=v26.1.0

[khassel]

I know that Node.js v26 is still far from being production-ready; however, for early testers, here are a few pointers:

• playwright install hangs in node v26, this is meanwhile solved with playwright v1.60.0
• electron v42 fails to install. AFAIS the used extract-zip package fails to unzip the downloaded file. Issue
• ...

At the moment we are using nodejs v26.0.0 in our automated tests which works. Upgrading to newer versions is not possible at the moment.
