false-positive "Preview.js needs NodeJS 18+ to run"

[LennyLizowzskiy]

Describe the bug

It tries to check the Node version but receives a strange output and crashes.

VSCode's "Output" window text:

$ node --version
unicode_start skipped on not a tty
linux

Preview.js needs NodeJS 18+ to run.

Please upgrade then restart your IDE.
Preview.js daemon could not be started.

When I check the version myself via the terminal:

~ 
 node --version
v22.3.0

~ 
 node -v
v22.3.0

~ 
 npm -v
10.8.1

~ 
 pnpm -v
9.4.0

Tried both the latest available and the LTS node and the error persists.

Reproduction

1. Start VSCode
2. Error occurs on VSCode start

Anything else?

Maybe add an option to disable version checking in extension's settings?

Also, I think it's Starship (https://starship.rs/) that causes the output to be invalid.
