Pin Node v24.22.0 (commit f14cd3aa7bf9, Undici 7.29.1, OpenSSL 3.5.8) in
.node-version, Dockerfile.sandbox, the docs matrix fallback, the
compatibility pin, the fetch profile, and process.version. A node-pin test
checks that these pins agree. The Node compatibility snapshot is
regenerated from the v24.22.0 API docs; the new stream_iter chapter maps
to node:stream/iter, and the SuiteContext rows no longer match the
TestContext evidence.
Runtime and compiler changes follow Node 24.22 behavior:
- fs.read, fs.readSync, and FileHandle.read validate the position before
the zero-length return.
- fs.statfs results include frsize; Windows reads
FileFsFullSizeInformation and reports bfree and bavail separately.
- fs.utimes, futimes, and lutimes keep nanosecond precision.
- ServerResponse sets writableFinished where 'finish' is emitted and runs
end() callbacks before the 'finish' listeners while the socket is still
attached; a request read to 'end' closes before its response.
- socket.write(string, 'buffer') throws ERR_UNKNOWN_ENCODING.
- URL protocol-setter rejections keep the current URL, the host setter
no longer leaves a "/." escape when it adds a port to a "//" path, and
new URLSearchParams(null) parses "null".
- util.stripVTControlCharacters uses Node 24.22's ANSI pattern,
util.styleText accepts #RGB and #RRGGBB colors, and
util.types.isDataView has its JS name and length.
- structuredClone and AbortSignal.any use the "cannot be converted to
sequence" message.
- crypto.getCiphers, getHashes, and constants match Node 24.22.
- dns.lookup, net.connect, and tls.connect throw ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE for
hosts with null bytes.
- fs.readFile validates options.buffer and refuses its valid forms;
httpValidation and certificateCompression refuse by name.
- url.domainToASCII, url.domainToUnicode, and url.parse hostnames follow
ada 4.0: ASCII domains are lowercased without checking their xn--
labels, the RFC 5893 rule checks how LTR labels end and how RTL labels
start, a Punycode label whose decoded form begins with "xn--" fails, and
ToUnicode decodes only labels that pass the ToASCII checks. The url
legacy test cases are regenerated with Node 24.22.
Corpus programs 5275-5279 cover the new behavior. 1640, 2283, 2599, and
3136 are updated where they pinned Node 24.15 output.
Typed and JavaScript classes can extend the global EventTarget and Event.
%EventTarget and %Event are runtime-provided hierarchy roots like the
EventEmitter: a subclass instance embeds a prefix pointing at the engine
state that super() creates (the target's listener core, the event's
state), and the backend's emitter prefix handling becomes a table of
runtime prefixes that covers all three bases.
The instances' checked-dynamic capsules use the runtime RC adapters, so
the engine recognizes them: a target instance is its listeners' `this`
and its events' target, and an Event subclass instance is the event its
listeners receive, with its own fields and methods. The inherited
methods and accessors lower directly on typed receivers (including
super.dispatchEvent) and answer through the class property dispatch and
the runtime's capsule hooks for checked-dynamic values, with Node's
util.inspect output, @@toStringTag and leak-warning class name. Members
read as values are the prototype's functions, also for plain handles.
A target keeps its own capsule in its state, so repeated dispatches reuse
it; the state and an event's target are traced, so the collector
reclaims targets whose listeners capture them. Subclass members that
spell an inherited member are refused, since the engine would never call
or read them.
Listener objects that are class instances now work: when a program can
register EventTarget listeners and declares a class with a handleEvent
method, %main installs a compiled `listener.handleEvent` reader that the
engine uses at every dispatch, so the class's own, inherited or
overridden method runs with the instance as `this`, as in Node. An
unannotated arrow in an object literal whose contextual type maps to a
checked-dynamic slot or to no lowered type (an EventTarget subclass's
listener union) no longer adopts the void callback slot's return type,
so `{ handleEvent: (e) => n++ }` passed as a listener keeps the result
its record field promises.
- Support `new Console(...)` over process stdio and writable streams
- Write `log`/`info`/`debug`/`error`/`warn` output like Node, including `ignoreErrors`
- Mark the `Console` class as partially supported in the compatibility data
- Support `arrayBuffer()` from `node:stream/consumers`
- Print ArrayBuffer and SharedArrayBuffer values like Node
- Mark the stream consumers as partially supported in the compatibility data
The runtime answers like libuv 1.51's uv_available_parallelism, which
Node's os.availableParallelism() returns: on Linux the CPUs in the
process's affinity mask, lowered to a smaller cgroup (v2 cpu.max or v1
CFS) CPU quota; on Darwin hw.activecpu, hw.logicalcpu or hw.ncpu; on
Windows GetSystemInfo's processor count; at least 1. WASI answers 1, as
the dynamic island does.
Parallel programs (tsc-ts --checkers) need it to size their thread pools.
Corpus 4598 pins the value against the host's Node.
- Preserve callback identity, receiver binding, and class references across unions and collections.

- Expand differential coverage and streamline CI bootstrap and compiler rebuild checks.
- Add native worker execution with isolated module state, structured messages, and lifecycle controls.
- Support shared buffers and integer atomics with coordinated runtime ownership and cancellation.
- Extend compiler, runtime-pack, differential, and compatibility coverage for native concurrency.
- Preserve live class identity through interface receivers and object methods.
- Extend synchronous text reads and regular expression replacement callbacks.
- Keep unsupported generic dispatch boundaries explicit.
