docs: Match TanStack Start's Node minimum

[mitch-fultz]

Summary

• Change the README's Node compatibility minimum from 22.11.0+ to 22.12.0+ so it satisfies the already-required TanStack Start 1.168.25 framework.
• Keep both Start values, SDK engines/runtime, examples, manifests, lockfiles and all other README content unchanged. This is one prose-line change; no package release is needed.

Evidence

The published AuthKit 0.11.0 package declares Node >=22.11.0, but its required TanStack Start 1.168.25 package declares Node >=22.12.0. The guide describes the combined application requirements, so the framework's higher floor applies. Both manifests were checked inside integrity-verified published tarballs. This is not a claim that a Node 22.11 application crash was reproduced.

Test plan

Validated the clean commit with Node 24.21.0 and CI's pnpm major 10 (10.34.5):

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile — no manifest or lockfile changes.
• pnpm run format:check, pnpm run lint, pnpm run build, pnpm run typecheck — passed.
• pnpm run test:coverage -- --run — 21 files / 250 tests passed.
• pnpm --dir example build and pnpm run build:check — passed; no server-only fingerprints in the client bundle.
• Focused contract/diff check — exactly one README line changed, both Start clauses preserved, installed and published minimum Start manifests agree on Node 22.12.0; git diff --check passed.

The build's native npm run clean emits existing npm config-name warnings (npm-globalconfig, always-auth, verify-deps-before-run, _jsr-registry). No configuration was changed or warning suppressed; compiler and example builds passed.

These references intentionally do not close either issue. The source correction still needs normal review/merge, native README sync and docs publication, followed by shared-index and fresh-answer verification. No generated mirror was hand-edited, and no merge, sync dispatch, release, browser, index or model operation was performed for this PR.

@workos/typescript: please review the one-line Node minimum correction. GitHub rejected formal team assignment with HTTP 422 (Reviews may only be requested from collaborators); @nicknisi and @gjtorikian have actual individual review requests. No permissions or review gates were changed.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge because the documentation now reflects the effective Node.js minimum imposed by TanStack Start.

Summary

• Leaves package manifests, dependencies, and runtime behavior unchanged.
• No security concerns or actionable documentation issues were identified.
