Subject: [PATCH] ci: run CI and publish on Node 24

openclaw 2026.10+ (the devDependency Dependabot #486 bumps to) refuses to
install below Node 24.16, so npm ci fails on the Node 22 runners and every
check goes red before a test runs. Move the lint, build/test and publish jobs
to Node 24, plus the Docker images that install openclaw@latest (the scanner
image among them). engines stays >=22: openclaw is dev-only, and
Dockerfile.install-test and the pinned openclaw-2026.5 image still cover a
Node 22 user install.
