We recently upgraded to Node 24, but we had to additionally specify nixPkgs = ['nodejs_24'] in nixpacks.toml. This appears to be because Railway is still using the older Nixpacks v1.38.0 which does not support Node 24.
I'm aware that you guys have deprecated Nixpacks (and we will move to Railpack at some point), but could you at least update what Railway is using to the most recent stable release (v1.41) which added official support for node 24? Thank you.

Nixpacks is no longer actively maintained on our end, so we won't be updating the pinned version. The recommended path is to switch your builder to Railpack, which supports Node 24 out of the box. You can do this by setting "builder": "RAILPACK" in your railway.json or changing the builder in your service settings. Your existing nixpacks.toml workaround will continue to work in the meantime.
