CI still selects the EOL Node 20 line. Move build/test tooling to at least Node 22.23.4, which includes the October runtime security fixes, and resolve the latest matching patch instead of an older cached runtime.

This changes only the CI runtime selector. The browser SDK and published package contract are unchanged.

Validation:

• Complete build, Biome lint and 33 unit tests pass on verified Node 26.12.1.
• Council review: no issues found; git diff --check passes.
• CI passes on actual Node 22.23.4, including the build, lint, 33 unit tests and the existing credential-gated E2E step. No release or publication was executed.

Reference: official Node security release.
