Oct 2025 work summary for denoland/deno: Implemented robust CPU information handling to prevent runtime errors when CPU data is unavailable. os.cpus() now returns an empty array, aligning with Node.js behavior. This reduces crashes in environments with limited procfs access and improves cross-platform reliability. The change was committed as 20fb456be521f958b889fa3465e75a501fcfd7c5 (fix(ext/node): cpus() should not error when there's no cpu info) and addresses Node parity in #25929. Tests covering the new behavior were added.
