Node core landed critical fixes for a Storage.prototype length crash and FFI void parameter validation, while undici realigned its lifecycle with bundled Node versions.

The most pressing fix arrives in src: a crash when reading length on Storage.prototype [1] is now resolved, preventing crashes in production code that touches the Storage API. Alongside that, the FFI layer now properly validates 'void' as a parameter type in getFunction and getFunctions [2], closing a gap where invalid void parameters could slip past validation. A secondary issue in ContextifyContext property definer interception is also fixed [3], preventing double invocation of definer callbacks on writable properties. On the documentation front, fs.StatFs got a comprehensive overhaul with expanded descriptions, byte-count examples, and clarification on units [4], making it actually useful for developers. Undici aligned its end-of-life timeline to match the Node version it's bundled in [5], so if you're tracking bundled dependencies, your EOL calendar just got cleaner. The doc tooling got a minor bump [6] that keeps the pipeline stable.
