fix(cli): hard-exit on Node 25.x instead of soft warning + crash (#149)
The Node 25.x V8 turboshaft WASM JIT Zone allocator bug (https://github.com/colbymchenry/codegraph/issues/81) reliably crashes CodeGraph mid-indexing with `Fatal process out of memory: Zone` when tree-sitter grammars get JIT-compiled. We already had: - `engines: "node": ">=18.0.0 <25.0.0"` in package.json - Lazy grammar loading (#61) - A startup `console.warn` when Node 25+ is detected But the recurring duplicates (#54, #81, #140, plus comments from multiple unique users) show those defenses aren't enough: - npm `engines` is a soft warning by default, so `npm install -g` doesn't block. - The startup `console.warn` is a single yellow line that scrolls off-screen before the OOM 30 seconds later, so users connect the crash to "CodeGraph is broken" rather than "I'm on the wrong Node version" and file a fresh issue. This patch turns the soft warning into a hard exit. On Node 25+ we print a bordered banner that names the V8 root cause, embeds the detected version, gives Node 22 LTS install commands (nvm + Homebrew), and links to #81 — then exit(1) BEFORE any tree-sitter import triggers WASM JIT. The previous behaviour is preserved behind `CODEGRAPH_ALLOW_UNSAFE_NODE=1` for anyone who patched V8 themselves or wants to test a future Node 25 fix. The banner builder is extracted to `src/bin/node-version-check.ts` so the test can import it without triggering CLI bootstrap. Five unit tests pin the version interpolation, root-cause explanation, recovery commands (nvm + brew), override env var, and #81 link — these are load-bearing and shouldn't get edited away silently. Suite: 509 → 514, all passing. Verified both paths manually by flipping the threshold to 22 in dist and running on Node 22.20.0: without the env var the CLI prints the banner and exits 1; with `CODEGRAPH_ALLOW_UNSAFE_NODE=1` it prints the banner and continues.
