The Node.js distribution indexer rolled v1.8.17 overnight, pulling in a buffer handling update from the bl library that tightens stream concatenation.

nodejs-dist-indexer v1.8.17 landed with a dependency bump to bl 7.0.6 [2], addressing improvements in the widely-used buffer concatenation library [1]. The release is minor but carries the kind of dependency hygiene that prevents downstream surprises in production distribution pipelines [3]. Reliability reporting for 2026-07-03 is now live [4]. No breaking changes across the stack.
