Summary: Drop Node.js 20 support and update minimum Node.js requirement to 22, along with comprehensive dependency updates including Babel, LoopBack, and security patches.

Review Focus:

• The Node.js engine requirement change from >=20 to >=22 is a breaking change that affects all consumers. Verify this aligns with project's support policy and is intentional.
• Significant dependency updates include Babel 7.29.x, LoopBack packages, and security-related packages (helmet 8.2.0, http/https-proxy-agent 9.x). Check for any API breaking changes or compatibility issues.
• The CI workflow was simplified from testing Node.js 20, 22, 24 to just 22 and 24—ensure this testing scope is sufficient.

Start review at: package.json. This is the most critical file as it contains the breaking change to the minimum Node.js version and the new package version (8.1.0), which signals this is a feature or patch release with important upgrades.
