Problem: Node requirement errors show late, after react-scripts starts, causing confusing failures. Issue requests checking Node version early.

Change: Add an early Node.js version guard to packages/react-scripts/bin/react-scripts.js, failing fast with a clear message if Node < 14.

Rationale: Mirrors existing create-react-app entrypoint behavior; aligns with engines.node: >=14.

Impact: Clearer error for unsupported Node versions; no impact on supported environments.
