Two Shopify CLI prompts make their unexpected appearances visible

Two Shopify CLI commands now explain why an organization picker suddenly appears, and Hydrogen docs no longer send contributors to an install-time failure.

The Shopify CLI is making its interactive prompts self-explanatory. When `store delete` gets only a store domain, it infers the owning organization from the Destinations API and silently drops into an organization picker whenever that inference fails. That silent drop made a typo'd domain look identical to an inaccessible store. The command now renders an info banner ahead of the picker, naming the domain the developer typed and pointing at `--organization-id` [1]. The non-interactive path already explained itself with "Could not determine whic..." [2]. Separately, `store list` printed its organization context as bare stdout text, with the `store auth list` hint flush against the last table row and the organization line sitting directly on the table header. It now shows that context in a proper info banner [3].

Hydogen's README and CONTRIBUTING docs listed Node.js requirements below what the repo actually supports. README said Node 18.0.0+, CONTRIBUTING said 16.14.0+, but the root package.json `engines` field and templates/skeleton/package.json require `^22 || ^24`, and .nvmrc pins v24. Following the old docs on Node 18 "fails at install time." The docs now match the real floor [4].
