LanceDB v0.38.0-beta.13 requires Node >= 22, drops npm lockfiles

LanceDB v0.38.0-beta.13 introduces several changes, including a breaking change that requires Node.js version 22 or higher and removes support for npm lockfiles, as noted in the project's GitHub release notes. Additionally, new features include support for blob computed column refresh and nested Function Arrow types in Python. Build and CI updates include upgrading chacha20 to version 0.10.2.

Operators planning to upgrade should verify their environment's Node.js version to ensure compatibility with the new requirement. Systems relying on npm lockfiles for dependency management may need adjustments, as this release explicitly drops support for them. These changes could impact workflows or automation scripts that depend on the previous behavior, so testing in a staging environment is recommended before deploying to production.
