Fix devcontainer Node image to match >=25.6.0 engine requirement

[Copilot]

PR #237 bumped the repo-wide Node engine requirement to >=25.6.0 but left .devcontainer/devcontainer.json on the typescript-node:24 image, breaking the devcontainer for contributors.

🎯 Changes Description

Current Behavior

Devcontainer uses mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/typescript-node:24, providing Node 24.x — incompatible with the >=25.6.0 engine constraint set in PR #237.

Updated Behavior

Devcontainer uses typescript-node:25, providing Node 25.x which satisfies >=25.6.0.

Motivation

Devcontainer must track the minimum supported Node version so contributors get a working environment out of the box.
