SonarQube reviewer guide

Summary: Updates Node.js version support from >=20 to explicitly require versions 22 or 24 only, bumps package version to 13.1.0, and updates numerous dependencies.

Review Focus:

• The engine constraint change from >=20 to 22 || 24 is significant and drops Node.js 20 support. Verify this aligns with the project's support policy and that no critical dependencies require Node 20.
• Extensive dependency updates throughout (Babel, LoopBack, semantic-release, etc.). Check for any breaking changes in these updates, particularly in LoopBack packages and testing frameworks.
• GitHub workflow now tests only Node 22 and 24 (removed Node 20).

Start review at: package.json. This is where the engine constraint change is declared and the version bump occurs. It's critical to verify this explicit version restriction is intentional and properly communicated, as it may break compatibility for users still on Node 20.
