Adjust the link in the "How to read environment variables from Node.js" tutorial to refer to the latest version of the API docs and not an arbitrarily link to Node.js 22's docs.

No it's not arbitrary. It's voluntary done in #7307

Why ? Because maintaining the learn section is complicated. So do not have broken docs/exmaple we decide to ping it to a version. this sub section use 22

Why not update it to 24 but you have to verify everything.

Also for more context take a look at https://nodejs.org/en/blog/events/collab-summit-2024-dublin#documentation-improvements-nodejs-learn-section

I disagree. We should always use the latest version of the documentation. The articles should be updated over time, yes, but we shouldn't assume the user is on a version that isn't the latest.

[AugustinMauroy]

My idea at the time, but I never tried to implement it, was to have a semver range in the frontmatter of the display in some way in the metabar. And then to have an MDX component that links the docs.

I disagree. We should always use the latest version of the documentation. The articles should be updated over time, yes, but we shouldn't assume the user is on a version that isn't the latest.

I would like to think like you, but to apply that, Node would have to have no breaking changes or deprecations.

[mureinik]

nodejs/node#59052 was merged, but the changes it made to the API docs will only become visible with the next release (presumably 24.5.0?).

I don't want to update this PR to reference it to avoid accidental premature merging that will result in a broken link. Once the next version of the API docs is live, I'll circle back and update this MR to point to the new Environment Variabels section.

[mureinik]

Now that Node.js 24.5.0 has been released, the PR is updated to refer to the newly added "Environment Variables" section in the API docs, as per the discussion above.

[avivkeller]

The discussion on what version links to be used can be had separately, but this, itself, LGTM
