Summary: Drop Node.js 20 support and update the minimum required version to Node.js 22 or 24, along with dependency upgrades and configuration file updates.

Review Focus: The most critical change is the shift from supporting Node.js 20 as the minimum version to requiring Node.js 22 or 24. This is a breaking change for any users running on Node.js 20 or earlier. Additionally, there are extensive dependency updates throughout the package-lock.json file. Pay particular attention to:

1. Breaking changes in upgraded packages (e.g., helmet 5.1.1 → 8.2.0, express-rate-limit 6.11.2 → 8.5.2)
2. New dependencies being added (form-data)
3. Engine requirements in updated packages to ensure they're compatible with Node.js 22+

Start review at: package.json. This is where the Node.js version constraint change is declared in the engines field (changing from >=20 to 22 || 24), which is the primary functional change of this PR. Understanding this requirement will help contextualize all the downstream dependency updates in the lock file.
