PR Summary

• Update to Node Version reference in GitHub Workflows
  The configuration for automated releases, code style checks, and unit tests in GitHub workflows has been adjusted. The workflow now references the Node version from a separate file, .nvmrc, instead of having it hard-coded. This change improves maintainability by centralizing the Node version specification.

• Node Version Update in .nvmrc file
  The Node.js version specified in the .nvmrc file has been updated from version 14 to 18. This update enables our projects to take advantage of the latest features, performance improvements, and security patches from the newer version of Node.js.
