X Title: doc: remove extensionless CJS exception for type:module by mcollina · Pull Request #62176 · nodejs/node

Description: The CJS documentation has included an exception since v16 (added in #41383) stating that extensionless files in type: "module" packages are recognized as CommonJS when included via require(). This exception conflicts with the ESM resolution specification which states that extensionless files within a package scope with an explicit type field follow the format of the type field. Since #61600, the behavior on main already matches the ESM spec: extensionless files respect the type field. This change aligns the CJS documentation accordingly by removing the contradicting exception. For v25.x, #62083 restores the documented exception as a targeted fix to avoid breaking packages like yargs v17 that relied on the old behavior. Refs: #61600 Refs: #62083 Refs: #61971
