scripts/node-releases.mjs reads nodejs.org's release index and reports the newest LTS release on each tracked line. scripts/node-release-check.mjs downloads that release, verifies it against SHASUMS256.txt, runs the surface delta and golden check under it, and writes a markdown report, exiting 1 when anything changed. .tangled/workflows/node-release.yml runs the check on a daily cron and on demand; it detects and gates, and never bumps the pin. The fs-dir guest now chains its last two opens: in flight together they finish in either order on Node's threadpool, which flaked the golden check under load.
