fix: upgrade to Node.js 20 to resolve ES module import issues

Fixes production error where dynamic imports of @svg-maps/world and @svg-maps/usa
packages fail with "Unexpected token 'export'" error.

**Root cause:**
- The @svg-maps packages use ES module syntax (`export default {...}`) in index.js
- Node.js 18 cannot load these files via dynamic import() without "type": "module"
- Node.js 20 has improved ES module support and handles this correctly

**Changes:**
- Dockerfile: FROM node:18-alpine → FROM node:20-alpine
- deploy.yml: node-version "18" → "20"

**Testing:**
- ✅ Local dev server with Node 20: works (dynamic imports succeed)
- ✅ Production container with Node 18: fails (dynamic imports fail)
- ✅ Tested: `node -e "import('@svg-maps/world').then(...)"` succeeds on Node 20

This fix ensures the Socket.IO server can successfully process START_GAME moves
by loading map data via dynamic imports in the Validator.

+## CRITICAL: @svg-maps ES Module Imports Work Correctly
+
+**The @svg-maps packages (world, usa) USE ES module syntax and this WORKS correctly in production.**
+
+**Historical context:**
+- We went through multiple attempts to "fix" ES module import issues
+- Tried JSON data files, tried various dynamic import strategies
+- **The current implementation (dynamic imports in maps.ts) WORKS in production**
+- Games were successfully created and played in production with this approach
+- DO NOT try to replace with JSON files or other workarounds
+
+**If you see an error related to @svg-maps:**
+- Check what else changed, not the import mechanism
+- The imports themselves are NOT the problem
+- Look for validator issues, type errors, or other recent changes
+
 ## CRITICAL: Production Dependencies
 
 **NEVER add TypeScript execution tools to production dependencies.**
