Node.js snap builds are moving forward: Yarn support ends for pre-26 releases, Node 26 enters the CI pipeline, and Temporal becomes a standard feature across all new builds.

The snap maintainers shipped breaking changes that mark a hard line in the sand [1]. Node 20 is out of the CI matrix, Node 26 is in [2], and pre-26 builds no longer include Yarn [1]. This isn't just version housekeeping. Temporal landed as an enabled-by-default feature in Node builds [3], which means snap users get the stage-3 temporal API without feature flags. Over on the core side, Node addressed compile-time warnings in the c-ares bindings by updating deprecated function calls [4], and OpenSSL gained RISC-V assembly support that was unavailable when riscv64 was first added to the build matrix [5]. Doc-kit is patching its Vercel scripts to build against the latest upstream Node release tag instead of the process version [6], and stream consumers now defensively copy SharedArrayBuffer-backed chunks to prevent unintended data persistence [7]. Unofficial builds fixed a critical arm64-musl gap where the musl-cross-make toolchain wasn't injecting build-id sections, breaking postject-based SEA tooling [8].

Action items

→ If you maintain snap distributions, test Node 26 compatibility immediately and drop any pre-26 Yarn expectations nodejs/snap [immediate]
→ Update Vercel deployment scripts to use upstream Node release tags instead of process.version nodejs/doc-kit [plan]
→ If building arm64-musl binaries for SEA or postject tooling, upgrade unofficial-builds to get build-id sections nodejs/unofficial-builds [immediate]
→ Review stream consumer code that handles SharedArrayBuffer data to understand the new defensive copy behavior nodejs/node [monitor]
