AITBC Requirements Updates - Comprehensive Summary

🎯 Complete Requirements System Update - March 4, 2026

This summary documents all requirements updates completed on March 4, 2026, including Python version correction, Node.js version update, and Debian 13 Trixie support.

---

📋 Updates Completed

1. Python Requirements Correction

Issue: Documentation showed Python 3.11+ instead of required 3.13.5+

Changes Made:

• ✅ Updated aitbc.md to specify Python 3.13.5+ (minimum requirement, strictly enforced)
• ✅ Created comprehensive requirements validation system

Result: Python requirements now accurately reflect minimum version 3.13.5+

---

2. Node.js Requirements Update

Issue: Current Node.js v22.22.x exceeded documented maximum of 20.x LTS

Changes Made:

• ✅ Updated documentation to show "18+ (current tested: v22.22.x)"
• ✅ Updated validation script to accept versions up to 22.x
• ✅ Added current tested version reference in configuration

Result: Node.js v22.22.x now properly documented and supported

---

3. Debian 13 Trixie Support

Issue: Development environment running Debian 13 Trixie wasn't explicitly documented

Changes Made:

• ✅ Updated OS requirements to include "Debian 13 Trixie (dev environment)"
• ✅ Added special detection for Debian 13 in validation script
• ✅ Updated configuration with explicit Debian 13 support

Result: Debian 13 Trixie now fully supported and documented
