   # ── Cross-platform test matrix ──────────────────────────────────────
   # Node 22 (minimum) is tested only on Linux — the primary platform and the only one
   # guaranteed to have the oldest toolchain. macOS and Windows test Node 24 (latest)
   # to catch regressions in the newest runtime. This asymmetry is intentional: it
   # balances CI cost with meaningful coverage while ensuring the minimum version works
   # correctly on the platform most likely to encounter toolchain edge cases.
