Proposed changes
In the Typewriter Node.js quickstart, there is a code example issuing a Typewriter track call with an example payload that includes two event properties as top-level keys: https://segment.com/docs/protocols/apis-and-extensions/typewriter/#nodejs-quickstart
However, this payload is invalid; the underlying analytics-node package requires a slightly different structure for event params (requires "userId" or "anonymousId" top-level parameters, and event properties must be nested under a key of "properties"): https://github.com/segmentio/analytics-next/tree/master/packages/node#usage
