[bug\_fix] Error: Missing binding ... node-sass/vendor/.../binding.node

Rebuild node-sass for current Node ABI using npm rebuild node-sass, or migrate to sass \(Dart Sass\) which has no native bindings

Journey Context:
Upgraded Node.js from 14 to 18. Application crashes on startup or build fails with "Missing binding" pointing to a specific path inside node-sass/vendor. The error indicates node-sass has a compiled binary for a specific Node version \(ABI 83 for Node 14\) but current Node is ABI 108 \(Node 18\). Initially tried deleting node\_modules and reinstalling, but the install pulled the old prebuilt binary for the wrong version or failed to compile. Realize node-sass is deprecated and tightly coupled to Node versions via native C\+\+ bindings. Options: 1\) Run npm rebuild node-sass --force to trigger a local compilation against the current Node headers \(requires Python/MSVC\), 2\) Switch to the sass package \(Dart Sass\) which is pure JavaScript, slower but version-agnostic and actively maintained. Most sustainable fix is migrating to sass and updating webpack/gulp configs to use sass instead of node-sass.
