GitBook v3 build fails on Node.js 18 LTS due to plugin incompatibility
The goal is to determine whether the legacy GitBook CLI (v3) can still be used on current Node.js LTS releases without modifying the toolchain. Constraints include an unmaintained codebase whose dependency tree targets older Node.js APIs, and a plugin system (search, syntax highlighting, GitHub integration) that breaks as transitive dependencies drift.
