Node.js: TLS Internals Reused for QUIC, and a Wave of Filesystem Edge-Case Fixes
The biggest change today is architectural — QUIC now reuses the generic TLS pause mechanism from PR #65522, simplifying 0RTT handling — while a cluster of smaller fixes tightens up filesystem, test-runner, and crypto edge cases across the board.

Good day, this is your Node.js briefing for September 2nd, 2026.
The standout change today is architectural. Tim Perry's PR 65522 takes the TLS pause machinery originally built in PR 64827 and generalizes it so QUIC can reuse it directly. Instead of QUIC deferring events with custom machinery, handshakes now pause, and resume, using the same mechanism as regular TLS. The…
Second theme: a steady stream of filesystem correctness fixes. PR 65713 lets `cp` and `cpSync` accept Buffer paths, matching behavior elsewhere in the `fs` module. PR 65731 fixes a regression where `cpSync` with dereference enabled wasn't dereferencing symlinks nested inside copied trees. And PR 65736 catches a real…
Third theme: flaky and incorrect test infrastructure getting cleaned up. PR 65672 fixes WASI poll timing tests that could misfire on wall-clock boundaries. PR 65728 deflakes test runner coverage by refreshing temp directories between subtests. And PR 65739 fixes worker ID reuse in the test runner — IDs were being…
Worth flagging individually: PR 65520 fixes a live lock between environments in the Web Locks manager, where two environments could wake each other forever without progress. And two backport…
