PR Checklist:

• Provide a meaningful description to this PR or mention which issues this fixes.
• Ensure the project builds with npm run build
• Add tests for your change. This includes negative tests (i.e. inputs that need to fail) as well as baseline tests (i.e. how should the directory structure look like?).
• Run the test suite with npm test
• If there are baseline changes, review them and make a separate commit for them with the comment "accept baselines" if they are desired changes
• If you added a required option, also add it to the template creation (.github/create_templates.ts)
• Add a detailed migration description to docs/updates explaining what the user needs to do when manually updating an existing project
• Add your changes to CHANGELOG.md (referencing the migration description and this PR or the issue you fixed)

Description:

The generated test-and-release workflow was using the minimum supported Node.js version for check-and-lint and deploy operations. This meant adapters supporting Node.js 20 would run these operations on Node.js 20 rather than the current recommended version.

Changes

• src/lib/constants.ts: Updated RECOMMENDED_NODE_VERSION_FALLBACK from "20" to "22"
• templates/_github/workflows/test-and-release.yml.ts: Changed ltsNodeVersion to always use RECOMMENDED_NODE_VERSION_FALLBACK instead of minNodeVersion
• test/create-adapter.test.ts: Updated test expectations to reflect LTS version is now independent of minimum Node version
• Baselines: Regenerated all baseline workflows

Behavior

# Before: adapter with Node.js 20 minimum
check-and-lint:
  node-version: '20.x'  # Used minimum version
adapter-tests:
  matrix:
    node-version: [20.x, 22.x, 24.x]

# After: adapter with Node.js 20 minimum  
check-and-lint:
  node-version: '22.x'  # Uses recommended version
adapter-tests:
  matrix:
    node-version: [20.x, 22.x, 24.x]  # Still tests all supported versions

Test matrices remain unchanged - they continue testing all Node.js versions >= minimum supported version. Only check-and-lint and deploy jobs now consistently use Node.js 22.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• download.iobroker.net
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node node iobroker.js add template --enabled false npm dules/.bin/sh --dry-run --json bin/node node pm install --loglevel node_modules/.bi-Wl,-soname=diskusage.node --no-audit --helper-status mcli/run-script/iobroker.template e (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

<issue_description>The standard test-and-release workflow should start to use node.js 22 for operations other then those controlled by test-matrix. Currently the workflow still uses node.js 20 in those cases.</issue_description>
