Failed to initialize SQLite storage: The module was compiled against a different Node.js version
Cause: Node.js version mismatch—the CLI was installed with a different Node version than what’s currently active.Solution: Use Node.js 22 and reinstall the CLI:
# Check your Node version (should be v22.x.x)
node --version

# If using nvm, switch to Node 22
nvm install 22 && nvm use 22

# Reinstall ByteRover CLI
npm uninstall -g byterover-cli
npm install -g byterover-cli

  1. Press Ctrl+C to quit the current session
  2. Start a fresh REPL:
