Fix Node 22 compatibility by updating better-sqlite3 to v10.1.0

[Copilot]

This PR addresses Node 22 compatibility issues in the dapp-offer-up project by updating the better-sqlite3 dependency to version 10.1.0, which includes Node 22 support.

Changes Made

✅ Fixed: better-sqlite3 Compatibility

• Updated better-sqlite3 from versions 8.7.0 and 9.6.0 to 10.1.0
• Added "better-sqlite3": "^10.0.0" to package.json resolutions to force the upgrade
• Verified the new version works correctly with Node 22 after rebuilding native modules

📋 Documented: ESM Module Issue

• Added comprehensive documentation in NODE_22_COMPATIBILITY.md
• Identified that the esm module from github:agoric-labs/esm#Agoric-built is incompatible with Node 22
• The ESM module causes assertion failures when running on Node 22

Testing Results

Node 20 (Current)

• ✅ All builds pass
• ✅ All contract tests pass (7/7)
• ✅ better-sqlite3 works correctly

Node 22 (Target)

• ✅ better-sqlite3 works correctly (after rebuild)
• ❌ Build fails due to ESM module assertion error:

  #  Assertion failed: (args.Length()) >= (2)
  ----- JavaScript stack trace -----
  1: /path/to/node_modules/esm/esm.js:1:155566
  

Status

Partial Node 22 compatibility achieved - This PR resolves one of the two main compatibility issues:

1. better-sqlite3 ✅ - Fixed by updating to v10.1.0
2. ESM module ❌ - Requires upgrading to newer Agoric SDK version

Next Steps

To achieve full Node 22 compatibility, the project needs to upgrade to a newer version of the Agoric SDK (v0.22.0-u17 or later) that no longer depends on the problematic ESM module. Both referenced issues (#4788 and #11272) have been resolved in newer SDK versions.

Addressing #121.
