Non-specific versions like `22`, `lts/*`, `*`, `latest`, etc. will get the latest [locally-cached Node.js version](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md#nodejs), or the latest version from [actions/node-versions](https://github.com/actions/node-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json), depending on the [`check-latest`](docs/advanced-usage.md#check-latest-version) input. Both of these sources can be slow to upgrade, with multiple days or weeks of lag time after the version release. `current`/`latest`/`node` always resolve to the latest [dist version](https://nodejs.org/dist/index.json). That version is then downloaded from actions/node-versions if possible, or directly from Node.js if not.
