Stream writer methods now properly validate options.signal before use, closing a gap where invalid signals caused inconsistent behavior across push, broadcast, and fromWritable.
The core fix [1] lands in nodejs/node, standardizing error handling so that push, broadcast, and fromWritable write methods all throw ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE for invalid signal values instead of silently ignoring them or causing unexpected behavior downstream. This is a quality-of-life improvement for developers using the modern streams API with async signal handling. On the infrastructure side, nodejs/snap continues its automated nightly builds [2] [3], keeping the distribution channel fresh for early adopters. Over in nodejs/undici, the HTTP client got a bug fix [4] [5] to skip decompression on HEAD responses, which have no body but were being processed anyway. Meanwhile nodejs/branch-diff released v3.1.6 [6] with a dependency bump to actions/setup-node 7.0.0 [7], which adds cache key outputs for CI workflows. Documentation improvements across the main repo include clearer guidance on PEM signing key formats [8] and a devcontainer spelling fix [9]. Synchronous connect support for BoundSocket [10] and a build system improvement for Temporal crate versioning [11] round out the patch work.
