 ## Unreleased
 
+- Require Node.js 22 or newer for the npm package, matching release CI.
 - Write Lobster state files atomically while preserving restricted file modes, preventing truncated resume/session state after process termination. Thanks to [@KrasimirKralev](https://github.com/KrasimirKralev) (Issues [#108](https://github.com/openclaw/lobster/issues/108), [#109](https://github.com/openclaw/lobster/issues/109), PR [#110](https://github.com/openclaw/lobster/pull/110)).
 - Fix `timeout_ms` + `retry` so per-attempt timeouts retry as documented while external workflow cancellation still stops immediately. Thanks to [@KrasimirKralev](https://github.com/KrasimirKralev) (PR [#106](https://github.com/openclaw/lobster/pull/106)).
