## openai/openai-node — v6.49.0…v7.0.0

_7 commits._

### Features
- **Require Node.js 22 minimum** — The project now requires Node.js 22 or later as its minimum supported version, with an updated version support policy documented in NODE_VERSION_POLICY.md. CI workflows now dynamically generate their test matrix from this policy file instead of hardcoding Node versions. (9185cdd)

### Backend
- **Version 7.0.0 released** — Major release requiring Node.js 22 or later. This includes breaking changes to codify version support, along with dependency updates for security and compatibility. (cf810ed)

### Tests
- **Add local API reference validation** — Tests can now use a local OpenAPI specification file for hermetic testing, with validation to ensure it matches the expected hash stored in generation metadata. The local reference file is excluded from code formatting. (32ed4b5)

### Chore
- **Updated fast-uri dependency** — Bumped the fast-uri package from version 3.1.3 to 3.1.4 in the TypeScript browser webpack test environment. This is an indirect dependency update that helps keep test infrastructure current. (c6a46b8)
- **Update fast-uri dependency** — Updated the fast-uri package from version 3.1.3 to 3.1.4 in the Vercel Edge ecosystem tests. This is a minor dependency update with no visible product changes. (8e775cf)
- **Updated Next.js dependency** — Bumped the Next.js framework from version 15.5.20 to 15.5.21, a minor patch update that includes bug fixes and improvements to the underlying web framework. (09f0b5e)
- **Add Node test matrix gate** — Added a CI workflow step that validates Node.js test results across the test matrix, ensuring all tests pass before allowing merges on push events and pull requests from non-fork repositories. (228c224)
