@azure/identity v4 has an upstream breaking change of requiring Node.js >= 18; this repo still declares engines.node as 16 || 18, so Node 16 installs/runs are likely to fail once this is merged.

Severity: high

Correctness: Upgrading @azure/identity from ^3.2.1 to ^4.0.0 is a major version bump — v4 introduced breaking changes including removal/renaming of certain credential classes and options. The PR includes no source code changes (only package.json and yarn.lock), so any usage of removed APIs in the codebase will break at runtime without corresponding code updates.

In plugins/techdocs-node/package.json at line 47, `@azure/identity` was bumped from `^3.2.1` to `^4.0.0`. This is a major version upgrade with breaking changes. Search all source files in plugins/techdocs-node/src that import from `@azure/identity` and verify they are compatible with the v4 API (e.g., check for renamed or removed credential classes such as `InteractiveBrowserCredential` options changes, `TokenCredentialOptions` restructuring, etc.). Update any incompatible usages to match the v4 API surface.
