      Node.js 22 has bundled npm v10.9.7. Our evergreen tries to upgrade npm to @latest before installing dependencies. This version can't upgrade itself to 11.12 (at the moment of ticket creation) producing the following error:

      ➜  dbx nvm install 22
v22.22.2 is already installed.
Now using node v22.22.2 (npm v10.9.7)
➜  dbx npm install -g npm@latest
npm error code MODULE_NOT_FOUND

      Therefore we need to pin NPM version for these variants to latest "upgradable" version which is 11.11.1

      AC:

      • provide NPM_VERSION env variable into expansion for all node major === 22
