Cant deploy functions locally using nodejs 22

[rublev]

deploying live works fine. deploying "locally" so i can insert data into my local firebase firestore emulator does not.

gcloud alpha functions local deploy remoteyes-functions \ --entry-point=helloWorld \ --runtime=nodejs22

=

ERROR: failed to build: failed to fetch builder image 'gcr.io/gae-runtimes/buildpacks/google-gae-22/nodejs/builder:latest': image gcr.io/gae-runtimes/buildpacks/google-gae-22/nodejs/builder:latest does not exist on the daemon: not found ERROR: (gcloud.alpha.functions.local.deploy) (1, 'Pack failed to build the container image.')

at my wits end lol
