npm run production stops at 43 percent

I'm working on this codebase that's using laravel mix and laravel 10. npm run dev, development, watch and even hot are all running fine but npm run production stops at 43%.

I've tried all the solutions I could find on Stackoverflow and none of them is working.

Here's the log file when I run with --verbose:

18 info ok

The reason is because of the node version. The solution is to use lts. I was using the latest.
