Description

Hi team,

I’d like to request updating the Node.js version used in our GitHub Actions workflows to the current LTS release.

Reason for request:

Our package.json specifies "engines": { "node": ">=22.11.0" }, which matches the current LTS release line.

Some CI jobs (e.g., semantic-release) are failing due to EBADENGINE errors when the runner uses Node 20.x, which is now in maintenance mode.

Upgrading to the latest LTS ensures long-term support, security updates, and compatibility with modern dependencies.

Thanks for considering this upgrade!

Research direction

Start with the repository's GitHub Actions workflow files and compare their configured Node.js versions with package.json, which requires Node >=22.11.0. Update the workflows to the current LTS line, then verify the semantic-release jobs no longer report EBADENGINE errors.
