Proposed changes

Fixes #172

Require the Node.js releases with the updated CA store for the eMudhra intermediate CA compromise ("ca-cert (eMudhra Intermediate CA Compromise) on 26.x, 24.x, 22.x" in the October 2026 security releases). Same range as webdriverio/webdriverio#16211.

Place	Change
engines.node	>=22.19.0 → >=22.23.4 <23 || >=24.22.1 <25 || >=26.12.1
lint.yml, test.yml, release.yml, publish-mcp-registry.yml	check-latest: true on the .nvmrc setup: a bare 24 took the runner cache (24.21.0) in webdriverio/webdriverio#16211
README, Electron section	Names the new floor (it said 22.19; @wdio/electron-service itself needs >=22.12.0)
tests/utils/docs-index.test.ts (separate commit)	appium capabilities → /docs/api/appium.md within 2 (was 1). Since 2026-10-21 the live Capabilities page ranks first (18.30 against 17.45), so the test job fails on main and on every PR. It is a topic row, not an API-name row, and both pages answer the query

How you tested

Command	Node 22.23.4	Node 24.22.1
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile	no engine warning	no engine warning
eslint src/ tests/, tsc --noEmit	ok	ok
pnpm test	793 passed, 30 skipped	793 passed, 30 skipped
pnpm run bundle	ok	ok

With the live corpus (~/.wdio-mcp/llms-full.txt): docs-index.test.ts failed 1 of 75 on main and before the test commit, then 75 passed; full suite 823 passed. Without it: 46 passed, 29 skipped.

The packed tarball has the new engines. npm install --engine-strict of it: Node 24.20.0 → EBADENGINE, exit 1; Node 24.22.1 → added, exit 0.

Types of changes

• Polish (an improvement for an existing feature)

Checklist

• I have squashed commits that belong together
• I have tested with Claude Desktop (or another MCP-compatible client)
• I have read the CONTRIBUTING doc
• I have added the necessary documentation for new/changed tools (if appropriate)

Further comments

engines only warns, except with Yarn 1 or npm --engine-strict. WebdriverIO shipped the same range as a minor version.

[Medium impact] The PR appears safe to merge; no actionable new issues were found.

Summary

Raises the supported Node.js versions to releases with the updated CA store.

• The package now requires patched releases of Node.js 22, 24, or 26.
• GitHub jobs check the latest release of their Node.js line.
• The docs-index test allows the Appium API page to rank second.
