Documentation standards tightened across Node.js core as inconsistencies in code snippets get rooted out, while changelog-maker 4.4.29 ships dependency updates.

Node.js core landed two significant documentation passes overnight: Antoine du Hamel merged cleanup removing unnecessary eslint magic comments [1] that were either redundant or masking real problems in code examples, and immediately followed with a fix standardizing CommonJS snippets across the docs [2]. These aren't cosmetic changes—they fix inconsistencies where some snippets explicitly imported `process` from `node:process` while others silently relied on globals, and some carried `'use strict'` while the vast majority didn't. Core also patched a flaky Windows test in the WeakRef registry test suite [3], ensuring CI doesn't crater on platform-specific garbage collection quirks. On the changelog-maker front, version 4.4.29 shipped with three dependency bumps: tap to 21.7.2 [4], ghauth to 7.0.3 [5], and ghissues to 2.0.2 [6], all minor updates that keep the release tooling current.
