Node.js project type is hard-coded into vs code tools, nodejs is the language as fetched from the project info (from the template link). I would rather fix the latter because it is the one that is not correct

though the best fix would be the make the language javascript since that's the actual language

going through old issues, are we going to action this? The language has to be fixed from the portal/template side.

Trying to get this done now (to language=javascript). As @tetchel said, changing the field here modifies the panel for projects created from templates, and changing what's set in the cwctl type detection code does so for projects created from a local dir.

The projects are then building successfully, as its buildType mainly that matters internally. However, we do have a few places in PFE where we're still checking the language (e.g. some metrics things). Going through now and making sure we don't lose any functionality for a javascript project.
