Research direction

Start with typescript/templates/node/Dockerfile at the referenced line, then search the examples repository for the remaining NodeJS 18 references. Check the linked sdk-typescript issue for context and update every create-app template reference to NodeJS 22; done means no outdated references remain in the relevant template.

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
