Description

I tried the new Auto Attach feature (Auto-attaching to Node processes) and it works very well.

I see that there is still no mention of Auto Attach in this recipe, so I think it should be updated to recommend using the new feature.

Research direction
The issue requests updating the Node.js debugging recipe in the vscode recipes repository to mention the Auto Attach feature. The assigned maintainer should locate the relevant recipe file (likely in the recipes directory) and add a section or note about enabling auto attach for Node.js processes. Check the existing recipe content to identify where to insert the new information.
