February 2025 focused on delivering a foundational improvement to Node.js development ergonomics by exposing WHATWG URLPattern as a global and strengthening testing through CI integration with Web Platform Tests. This work enables direct usage of URLPattern in Node.js, improves test coverage, and accelerates maintenance by synchronizing tests automatically with upstream WPT.
