What steps will reproduce the bug?

Try to install @mongodb-js/zstd using Docker.

Works on "node:22.13-bookworm-slim" fails on "node:22.14-bookworm-slim"

Looks like this:

13.44 npm error code 127
13.44 npm error path /app/node_modules/@mongodb-js/zstd
13.44 npm error command failed
13.44 npm error command sh -c prebuild-install --runtime napi || npm run clean-install
13.44 npm error > @mongodb-js/zstd@2.0.0 clean-install
13.44 npm error > npm run install-zstd && npm run compile
13.44 npm error
13.44 npm error
13.44 npm error > @mongodb-js/zstd@2.0.0 install-zstd
13.44 npm error > bash etc/install-zstd.sh
13.44 npm error prebuild-install warn This package does not support N-API version undefined
13.44 npm error prebuild-install warn install No prebuilt binaries found (target=undefined runtime=napi arch=arm64 libc= platform=linux)
13.44 npm error bash: etc/install-zstd.sh: No such file or directory

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Every time.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Success.

Ok, seems like this happens only for some repositories and lacking a clean and minimal repro I'll close it and comeback if I can find a pattern to the madness.

------ EDIT ----
And for anyone finding this issue later.
I don't know why but it seems like the culprit here is prebuild-install if you end up with 7.1.2 you'll get the undefined issue on 22.14 but not 22.13.

Ensuring you have 7.1.3 will lead to great success.

Not a minimal repro but we're experiencing the same issue in CI here.

This seemed to be a result of the increased API version (#55676) which caused inspiredware/napi-build-utils#6.
This has been fixed in the meantime (inspiredware/napi-build-utils#7) and incorporated in prebuild-install (prebuild/prebuild-install#204), so when the latest version is used, it should work correctly again.

I found this solution:

Essentially what you probably want to to is to either forcefully regenerate any frozen lockfiles you got or do a install of prebuild-install with a version of 7.1.3 or above and ensure it's replacing whatever you got.
