Undici shipped critical fixes for parser deadlock under backpressure and idle socket validation, while import-in-the-middle resolved compatibility issues with CJS builtins that block instrumentation.

Undici landed two high-impact fixes overnight. The first [1] removes an assert that was throwing uncatchable errors when the HTTP/1 parser paused under backpressure and the socket ended, a scenario that could hang connections. The second [2] guards idle socket validation to skip fresh sockets, addressing a security advisory. Together these close gaps that have been tripping production deployments. Import-in-the-middle v3.0.2 [3] fixed proxying logic for builtins used as CommonJS [4], resolving conflicts when both IITM and tracing hooks register on the same process. The Node.js learn site added nested sidebar navigation [5] for Diagnostics and Node-API child articles, improving discoverability. Documentation cleanup continued across undici with corrected API signatures and restored links [6] [7]. Semver 7.8.3 [8] and eslint-plugin-n 18.1.0 [9] shipped minor updates across the linting preset.
