Add Node.js 22 and Node.js 24 runtimes

[premtsd-code]

Description

Adds nodejs:22 and nodejs:24 runtimes, producing the images action-nodejs-v22 and action-nodejs-v24.

The newest Node.js runtime this repository publishes is Node.js 20. Per the Node.js release schedule, Node 18 reached end-of-life in April 2025 and Node 20 in April 2026, so a user on a current OpenWhisk deployment has no supported Node.js version to target. Node 22 and Node 24 restore that.

Changes

• core/nodejs22Action/, core/nodejs24Action/ — Dockerfile, build.gradle, .dockerignore and CHANGELOG.md, following the existing nodejs20Action layout exactly. The runtime sources are not duplicated: they continue to be copied from core/nodejsActionBase by the existing copy* Gradle tasks and removed again by cleanup, so the only substantive difference from nodejs20Action is the base image.
• settings.gradle — register the new runtime subprojects and their test-fixture images.
• tests/dat/docker/nodejs22docker/, tests/dat/docker/nodejs24docker/ — test fixture images, mirroring nodejs20docker.
• tests/src/test/scala/runtime/actionContainers/ — NodeJs22ActionContainerTests, NodeJs22ConcurrentTests, NodeJs24ActionContainerTests, NodeJs24ConcurrentTests, binding the shared suites to the new images.
• .github/workflows/ci.yaml — publish nightly and commit-tagged images for both new runtimes alongside the existing ones.
• README.md — document the new kinds, images and build/test commands.

nodejs:20 remains the default kind, so existing actions are unaffected.

Testing

Built and tested locally against Docker Engine 29.6.2.

./gradlew :core:nodejs22Action:distDocker
./gradlew :core:nodejs24Action:distDocker
./gradlew :tests:dat:docker:nodejs22docker:distDocker
./gradlew :tests:dat:docker:nodejs24docker:distDocker
./gradlew :tests:test

Node.js versions in the resulting images: v22.23.2 and v24.19.0.

The full suite passes — 332 tests, 0 failures — with the existing Node 18 and 20 suites green alongside the new ones:

Suite	Tests	Failures
NodeJs18ActionContainerTests	41	0
NodeJs18ConcurrentTests	42	0
NodeJs20ActionContainerTests	41	0
NodeJs20ConcurrentTests	42	0
NodeJs22ActionContainerTests	41	0
NodeJs22ConcurrentTests	42	0
NodeJs24ActionContainerTests	41	0
NodeJs24ConcurrentTests	42	0

That covers the shared BasicActionRunnerTests surface — init/run protocol, initialization failures, application errors, unicode handling, environment variables, large payloads, resolved and rejected promises, webpacked functions, the bundled openwhisk package, and both exports.main and module.exports.main entry points — plus the concurrent-invocation suite.

Notes for reviewers

• CI on this repository is currently red for reasons unrelated to this PR. apache/openwhisk#5542 replaced the legacy maven Gradle plugin with maven-publish without declaring any publications, so the ./gradlew install step in ci.yaml no longer installs the core artifacts — Gradle abbreviates the unmatched task name to installDist. :tests:compileTestScala then cannot resolve org.apache.openwhisk:openwhisk-common:1.0.1-SNAPSHOT, and every scheduled run since mid-2025 has failed. The local results above were obtained with core pinned to daac7659, the last commit before that change. This is worth fixing separately — it affects every runtime repository.
• Separately, ActionContainer in the core test utilities reads a container's address via docker inspect --format '{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}'. Docker Engine 29 removed that field, so the call fails with map has no entry for key "IPAddress" and every container test dies right after docker run. {{.NetworkSettings.Networks.bridge.IPAddress}} works. Also worth a separate fix upstream.
• To expose the new kinds through --kind, a deployment additionally needs them added to the runtimes manifest in apache/openwhisk; that is a separate change. The images are usable immediately via --docker openwhisk/action-nodejs-v22.
