Description

There are a few references to NodeJS 18, which is now unmaintained (5/2025)

In particular, the create-app template:
https://github.com/restatedev/examples/blob/9c7ef25473e6df780691f47885dffd3a42b588e6/typescript/templates/node/Dockerfile#L1

NodeJS 22 is the Active LTS release now until 11/2025

See https://github.com/restatedev/sdk-typescript/issues/526
