- * @fileoverview Install Node.js.
+ * @fileoverview Install Node.js - JavaScript runtime environment.
  * @module installs/node
+ *
+ * Node.js is a free, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment
+ * that executes JavaScript code outside of a web browser. Built on Chrome's V8
+ * JavaScript engine, Node.js enables developers to use JavaScript for server-side
+ * scripting, command-line tools, and desktop applications.
+ *
+ * Node.js includes npm (Node Package Manager), the world's largest software
+ * registry with over two million packages. Together, Node.js and npm form the
+ * foundation of modern JavaScript development.
+ *
+ * This installer provides:
+ * - macOS: Node.js via Homebrew (latest stable version)
+ * - Ubuntu/Debian: Node.js via NodeSource repository (LTS v22.x)
+ * - Raspberry Pi OS: Node.js via NodeSource repository (LTS v22.x)
+ * - Amazon Linux: Node.js via DNF/YUM (namespaced packages on AL2023, NodeSource on AL2)
+ * - Windows: Node.js LTS via Chocolatey
+ * - WSL (Ubuntu): Node.js via NodeSource repository (LTS v22.x)
+ * - Git Bash: Node.js LTS installed on Windows host via Chocolatey
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT PLATFORM NOTES:
+ * - The NodeSource repository is used for Ubuntu, Debian, and Raspberry Pi OS
+ *   to ensure a recent LTS version is installed (default repository versions
+ *   are often outdated).
+ * - Amazon Linux 2023 uses namespaced packages (nodejs22, nodejs22-npm).
+ * - On Windows, a new terminal window must be opened after installation for
+ *   PATH changes to take effect.
