What version of node is used in Actions to run gh-scripts?

The documentation does not detail what version of node is used to execute, and whether actions/setup-node would of any use / relevance?

The current ubuntu-latest runner is Ubuntu 20.04.2 which, according to the docs is provided with Node 14.16.1.

I set up a job with the following statements:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v2.1.5
        with:
          node-version: 14

      - run: |
          console.debug({nodeVersion: process.version});
        shell: node --input-type=module {0}

      - uses: actions/github-script@v4.0.2
        with:
          script: |
            console.debug({nodeVersion: process.version});

And got the following as results from the console logs:

{ nodeVersion: 'v14.16.1' }

{ nodeVersion: 'v12.13.1' }

So I’d say that this action is overriding the version supplied by both the environment AND actions/setup-node. This is very annoying as it means that code I compiled from TS to JS for ES2020 will not execute due to the usage of the nullish coalescing operator and other features introduced in 14.

Please revisit this.
