Additional context React project is using Node 16

[annikel]

The error Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported seems to be caused by your project’s incompatibility with Node.js 18, which we recently set as the default Node.js version for this action, since Node.js 16 is EOL. Node.js 18 includes updates that can break older dependencies.

To fix this, explicitly specify Node.js 16 in your package.json by adding:

{
  ...
  "engines": {
    "node": "^16.0.0"
  }
}

or update your project's dependencies to be Node.js 18 compatible.
