Subject: [PATCH] fix: support versioned node binaries (e.g., node-22)

Fedora and some other distros install Node.js with a version suffix
(e.g., /usr/bin/node-22) and create a symlink from /usr/bin/node.
When Node resolves process.execPath, it returns the real binary path,
not the symlink, causing buildParseArgv to fail the looksLikeNode check.

This adds executable.startsWith('node-') to handle versioned binaries.

Fixes #2442
