Pull request overview
This PR updates the website’s release-status model to remove the internal “Active LTS” vs “Maintenance LTS” distinction, collapsing both into a single LTS status, and improves download UX by showing status badges in the version dropdown.
Changes:
- Simplifies release status handling to
Current | LTS | End-of-life, updating generators, types, and affected UI. - Adds optional per-item badges to the shared
SelectUI component and uses them in the downloads version dropdown. - Updates release-date display to use an
initialDatefield (earliest release) where “first released” is shown.

If the download page should default to the latest LTS, please adjust the selection logic to explicitly choose the newest LTS (e.g. bymajor/releaseDate) instead of relying on array ordering.

Description
In preparation for the change to how Node.js will be shipping releases, this removes the Active/Maintenance distinction for LTS release lines in the website's logic. This distinction was never shown to users; it was only used in internal logic and was always just reported as LTS to the user viewing the site.
Also, I've updated the version dropdown on the downloads page to make use of badges to make it clearer what status a given release has, as during the conversation around this change, it was flagged that it is odd we show EoL releases there and it isn't super obvious that they're EoL.
Validation
All release lines continue to report their correct statuses and dates on the site.

I think we can say that this finally closes #8277.
