- Global commands (node, deno, bun, shims) are now native executables, preserving environment variables with non‑shell‑identifier names and migrating older shims.
- Extensive bug fixes and performance boosts: restored add/local tarball handling, faster large‑workspace installs, improved dedupe, reliable lockfile handling, and correct handling of trust‑lockfile flags across commands.
- Security hardening: secret URLs are redacted in error output, and Windows host resolution now uses the system resolver to avoid firewall prompts.
