Node tightens docs, fixes coverage and CLI edge cases

A mix of real bug fixes, a runtime deprecation, a util regression fix, and a SQLite upgrade landed today.

SQLite updated to 3.51.3 (nodejs-github-bot9580d58)

Node vendors a newer SQLite release, replacing the embedded amalgamation and headers. This can bring upstream bug fixes and behavior changes in the database engine used by Node.

tracePromise now warns on non-thenables and preserves consistency (Renegade334b4ea323)

diagnostics_channel’s tracing API was tightened so tracePromise() no longer silently wraps non-Promise return values into native Promises. When the traced function returns a non-thenable, Node now warns and returns the value as-is; the docs and tests were updated to match.

util.styleText now accepts color aliases like grey (Han5991a62f641)

util.styleText() was fixed to recognize color aliases that previously threw, including grey, bgGrey, and similar variants. This restores compatibility for valid style names and prevents a regression introduced in newer Node versions.

DEP0201 moved from docs-only to runtime deprecation (Renegade334ac63754)

Passing options.type to Duplex.toWeb() now emits a real deprecation warning at runtime, rather than only being documented. The implementation keeps the alias working for compatibility while steering users toward options.readableType.

Coverage for mocked CJS modules imported from ESM is fixed (marcopiraccini6f7b948)

Node now preserves the full module URL when compiling CJS loaders, so coverage reports keep search parameters used by test mocks. That fixes missing or incorrect coverage accounting for mocked CommonJS dependencies imported from ESM.

CLI --eval handling is clarified for leading hyphens (kovan9e89867)

The CLI docs now explain that --eval=<script> should be used when the script starts with -, and tests cover negative numbers and -e argument parsing edge cases. This makes a subtle parser behavior much less surprising for users.

Latin1 Buffer.indexOf path uses stack allocation (mertcanaltinf08e2e0)

The Latin1 string-search path in Buffer.indexOf was switched from heap allocation to stack allocation for the needle buffer. That should reduce allocation overhead in this hot path.

Other misc changes

  • --eval docs/tests edge-case cleanup and related test updates.
  • Nixpkgs and SQLite-related vendoring updates.
