DOCKER-NODE TIGHTENS CONTRIBUTOR TOOLCHAIN WITH JQ REQUIREMENT

Docker-node now mandates jq as a contributor dependency and adds automated checks to prevent silent failures in the update pipeline.

The docker-node project is raising the bar for contributor setup. Mike McCready added jq (JSON processor) as an explicit requirement in CONTRIBUTING.md [1], with a link to installation instructions. This follows a recent expansion of jq usage in the update.sh script [2], which was causing cryptic error messages when the tool wasn't installed. The fix includes a guard check in update.sh that exits gracefully with download instructions if jq is missing [2], rather than letting the script fail downstream. These two changes, merged across 2 commits and 2 PRs, work together to catch missing tooling upfront and guide contributors to resolution fast.
