Situation
According to the Node.js documentation style guide > Version references section, version references using the text "Node.js" should be written without a v prefix. Some references are not using this format (14 out of 55).
Change
Change occurrences of Node.js version references to conform to the style guide, for example:
The majority of references were already correct.
Usage in CHANGELOG files is not touched, since these are considered immutable historical records.
doc/contributing/releases.md is also left unchanged. This should preferably be reviewed and updated separately by the release team to check and correct usage of "Node.js v" consistently.
Edit for clarification: This PR is only concerned with the combination text such as "Node.js 24.13.0".
Other uses with v like the output of the CLI command
node --version"v24.13.0" or API documentation "Added in: v24.13.0" are OK and not impacted.This is also in line with blog post release notices on https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release
