It's recommended that you use even version of Node, i.e Node v18, 20, 22 etc. Odd versions are not usually [LTS](https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases#nodejs-releases) and may introduce breaking changes.

Can you reproduce with `npm i -g vercel` on Node v18 or 20? I can see you are currently using Node v23
