Node 20 was deprecated 2026-04-30 and deploys are blocked after 2026-10-30. nodejs22 is GA
for BOTH gens (deprecation 2027-04-30) — required because the runtime is codebase-wide and
onUserDelete stays gen1. nodejs24 was checked per plan and rejected: 2nd-gen only.
- functions/package.json engines.node 20 → 22 (the deploy-facing change; dist unaffected)
- .github/workflows/backend-ci.yml: both setup-node pins 20 → 22 so CI matches prod
Verified pre-deploy: tsc clean, 70 tests green, emulator discovery loads all 35 / 0 errors.
