   investigating
   We are aware of an issue impacting access to the latest Node.js documentation and are currently investigating the cause. Documentation for previous versions of Node.js can still be accessed at their version-specific URLs, such as https://nodejs.org/docs/v24.21.0/api/ For the latest version, v26.11.0, the documentation can also temporarily be accessed at https://beta.docs.nodejs.org/

   identified
   We have identified the cause of the v26.11.0 documentation issue as a recent update to our build logic. We are reverting the change and will release v26.11.1 shortly. In the meantime, v26.11.0 documentation remains temporarily accessible at https://beta.docs.nodejs.org/, and previous version docs are unaffected.

   monitoring
   We have released v26.11.1, which resolves the issue preventing access to the latest Node.js documentation. Access to the latest docs at https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/ has been restored, and we are currently monitoring to ensure stability. Due to the build issue in v26.11.0, HTML documentation for that release is permanently unavailable (though Markdown and JSON formats remain accessible). Please refer to the v26.11.1 documentation instead.
