WebCrypto AEAD handling refactor tightens crypto internals (
aaa9151)
Node’s WebCrypto AEAD paths were reworked to move tag handling into the lower-level cipher jobs instead of slicing input data in JS. The change also adds/updates coverage for detached-buffer decrypt behavior and tag-size edge cases, which should make GCM/OCB handling more consistent and less error-prone.
Algorithm normalization now reads name only once (e1ca754)
normalizeAlgorithm() now passes the extracted algorithm name into the WebIDL converter up front, avoiding a second property access during normalization. That fixes getter side effects and aligns the implementation with Web Platform Tests expectations.
mock.module docs now warn about customization hooks (
e57d5bb)
The test docs now note that synchronous module customization hooks affect mock.module() resolution, while asynchronous hooks are ignored in the current loader model. This clarifies a subtle limitation that can otherwise trip up module-mocking users.
