Description

Please add support for `nodejs` runtime version `26` for at minimum the `standard` + `amazonlinux` images. Node.js 26 was [released](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v26.0.0) on 2026-05-05.

**Notable changes in Node.js 26:**
- V8 engine updated to v14.6 (NODE_MODULE_VERSION 147)
- Stable TypeScript support (no longer requires --experimental-transform-types)
- Temporal API enabled by default

**Related issues in other AWS services:**
- Lambda base image: aws/aws-lambda-base-images#488

Based on use-cases, it would be great if the support could be scheduled together (more or less) with other AWS services – this enables us to use different AWS services smoothly together.

If you're also waiting for this, please 👍 this issue.

Research direction

Start by locating the CodeBuild image definitions for the `standard` and `amazonlinux` images, then inspect how existing `nodejs` runtime versions are declared. Confirm that version 26 is available in the requested images and verify the affected image builds or runtime checks before considering the issue complete.
