为何npm持续报错‘Invalid property "node"’？重装Node.js无效

Windows 10环境，使用Electron React Boilerplate框架，在VSCode中执行任何npm命令（npm install、npm start、npm help等）都会触发以下报错，多次重装Node.js（v22.11.0）和npm（v10.9.0）后问题仍未解决。

• 检查项目根目录的package.json，找到engines字段，确认格式是否正确。示例正确格式：

  "engines": {
    "node": ">=18.0.0",
    "npm": ">=9.0.0"
  }
  

• 排查日志中列出的4个.npmrc文件（全局+项目级），删除或修正其中非法的node配置项（比如误写的node=xxx）。
• 执行npm cache clean --force清除缓存后重试命令。
• 降级Node.js到Electron React Boilerplate推荐的版本（如v20.x），当前v22.11.0可能超出框架兼容范围。
