@​astrojs/check@​0.9.12

Patch Changes

• #18455 7af66fc Thanks @​astro-factory! - Fixes the astro-check binary ignoring its first two command-line arguments, so flags such as --help, --root, --watch, and --tsconfig are respected again. If your scripts padded the arguments to work around this (for example, astro-check -- -- --tsconfig ./tsconfig.app.json), remove the padding.
• Updated dependencies [044148d]:
  • @​astrojs/language-server@​2.17.3

@​astrojs/check@​0.9.11

Patch Changes

• #18445 d736df7 Thanks @​astro-factory! - Fixes the --preserveWatchOutput help text, which described the opposite of the flag's behavior. Setting it to true keeps output between checks in watch mode.

• #18444 c55134c Thanks @​astro-factory! - Fixes astro check --watch exiting immediately when the project path contains node_modules or .git

Updates @playwright/test from 1.62.1 to 1.64.1

Release notes

Sourced from @​playwright/test's releases.

v1.64.1

Bug Fixes

• #43247 [Bug]: _electron.launch intermittently loses a packaged app's first window since 1.64.0
• #43242 [Regression]: Chromium 155+ aborts a preflighted cross-origin redirect whenever any route is registered (net::ERR_ABORTED)

v1.64.0

🧰 WebMCP

New page.webmcp and frame.webmcp give access to the tools that a page registers through the experimental WebMCP browser API, so you can test them like any other part of your app:

const browser = await chromium.launch({ args: ['--enable-features=WebMCP'] });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
for (const tool of await page.webmcp.tools())
console.log(tool.name, tool.description);
const result = await page.webmcp.callTool('add', { a: 2, b: 40 });
console.log(result.content[0].text); // "42"

Playwright MCP also supports WebMCP by default, with page-defined tools offered to the agent as webmcp_<tool>. Pass --no-webmcp to opt out.

playwright-cli exposes them as well:

playwright-cli webmcp-list
playwright-cli webmcp-call search_catalog --params '{"query":"cats"}'

🎬 Better videos

Videos can now be recorded at a custom frame rate, and the decorations for actions are styled with plain CSS:

// playwright.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
use: {
video: {
mode: 'on',
size: { width: 1920, height: 1080 },
fps: 60,
show: {
actions: {
style: {
point: 'width: 20px; height: 20px; border-radius: 50%; background: red',
</tr></table>

• #18522 776b9a6 Thanks @​astro-factory! - Fixes memoryCache() serving an empty body for cached pages that return an empty 404 or 500 response. These responses now render the 404 or 500 error page on every request.

Patch Changes

• #18430 dda9ec3 Thanks @​Abhirup-99! - Speeds up content sync with experimental.collectionStorage: "chunked" by computing each character's UTF-8 width from its code point instead of encoding every character through TextEncoder.

Updates chokidar from 5.0.0 to 6.0.0

Release notes

Sourced from chokidar's releases.

6.0.0

High-level changes

• Rewrote the watcher around a single observation pipeline. Backend callbacks are treated as invalidations and confirmed with lstat, stat, or readdir before any event is emitted, so the final state after a burst of changes matches the filesystem.
• Added native recursive watching through fs.watch({ recursive: true }). The default auto backend uses it on macOS and Windows and per-directory watching elsewhere.
• Shared native handles across watchers and opened them per directory only: files no longer own handles. This fixes EBADF errors when watching many files on macOS (#1385, #1452).
• Replaced fs.watchFile with Chokidar-owned stat polling. Poll loops are shared across watchers at the fastest requested interval.
• Required Node.js 22.22 or later.

API changes

• Added the backend option: 'auto' (default), 'native', 'native-recursive', or 'polling'.
  • usePolling: true remains as a deprecated alias for backend: 'polling'.
• Renamed interval and binaryInterval to pollingInterval and pollingBinaryInterval.
  • The old names remain as deprecated aliases; the new names win when both are given.
• Changed the atomic default to false with polling. An explicit value is preserved.
• Made close() terminal: add() now throws once closing has started. Construct a new watcher instead.
• Validated options in the constructor: invalid backend, atomic, depth, awaitWriteFinish, and polling intervals throw TypeError.
• Emitted errors from add() as error events instead of unhandled rejections (#1378).
• Made getWatched() return a null-prototype object, so a watched directory named __proto__ is listed (#1493). Use Object.hasOwn() instead of hasOwnProperty() on the result.
• Stopped applying ignored to directories above a path passed to watch() or add(), so a missing path is still watched through its parent (#1374). Other entries in those directories are still filtered.

Fixes

• Fixed a 100% CPU loop when the process working directory containing a relatively watched file was deleted (#1474).
• Fixed watching a filesystem root, which emitted unlink and unlinkDir for every entry (#1184, #452).
• Fixed UNKNOWN errors from fs.watch on macOS sockets, which prevented watching /var/run (#1391).
• Fixed a symlink whose target passes through a regular file (ENOTDIR) disabling watching of its directory and preventing ready (#1476).
• Fixed files created in a newly added directory between its scan and watch registration being missed (#1471).
• Fixed watching a missing nested path stopping its parent directory's subtree from being watched (#1470).
• Fixed false change events on Windows when many sibling files are written (#1466).
• Fixed duplicate add events for unchanged files under directory activity (#1465).
• Fixed replacing a watched directory with a file of the same name hanging the process (#1464).
• Fixed persistent watching stopping after a watched directory was removed (#1463).
• Fixed a deleted watched path not being reported when recreated: previously only a deleted file that was the sole watched path was watched for its return. Any path passed to watch() or add() is now awaited from its nearest existing parent.
• Fixed event throttling discarding updates; the newest differing change is now replayed when the window closes (#1455).
• Fixed relative ignored paths; relative strings now resolve against cwd or the process working directory (#1436).
• Fixed files not being detected when their directory did not exist before watching (#1422).
• Fixed removed files being reported as unlinkDir instead of unlink (#1421).
• Fixed ignored files and directories still being watched in WSL (#1418).
• Fixed change being reported for every file when one file changed under Deno (#1417).
• Fixed changes not being detected after the second save (#1399).
• Fixed renaming a watched directory that contains subdirectories on Windows (#1380, #1398).
• Fixed re-watching a path not honoring ignoreInitial (#1386).
• Fixed EISDIR errors during the initial scan of network drives (#1376).
• Fixed watching an array of absolute file paths (#1366).
• Fixed unwatching a deleted watched directory on Windows, contributed by @​sapphi-red in [pull request #1467](paulmillr/chokidar#1467).
• Documented that unwatched paths stay ignored until they are added again (#1439).

Updates express from 5.2.1 to 5.3.0

Release notes

Sourced from express's releases.

v5.3.0

Highlights

🐞 Bug fixes

• Fixed HTTP header conflict between Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding in res.send - by @​YuryShkoda in #4893

  Fixed the behavior of res.send() to prevent conflicts between Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding HTTP headers in responses. The Content-Length header in res.send() is now only added when a Transfer-Encoding header is not present, complying with the HTTP specification that states both headers should not coexist in the same response. ETag generation is unaffected by the presence of a Transfer-Encoding header - by @​cuishuang in #7459

• Upgrade qs to ^6.16.0, which fixes CVE-2026-2391 (GHSA-w7fw-mjwx-w883), CVE-2026-82417 (GHSA-4mjr-xmp4-gh2g) and CVE-2026-82562 (GHSA-x5fp-wj9c-mxmx): arrayLimit bypasses in comma parsing and a denial of service via an attacker-controlled isBuffer - by @​davetashner in #7057 and #7478, and @​cyphercodes in #7305

• Upgrade proxy-addr to ^2.0.8, which fixes CVE-2026-90711 - by @​lazerg in #7474

🚀 Improvements

• Allow conditional revalidation for QUERY requests. req.fresh previously only validated freshness for GET and HEAD requests, so QUERY responses never returned 304 despite a matching validator. Since QUERY is a safe, idempotent, and cacheable method that supports conditional requests, it is now included in the freshness check - by @​Cherry in #7366

  // QUERY /reports with If-None-Match: "12345"
  app.query('/reports', (req, res) => {
    res.set('ETag', '"12345"');
    res.send(results); // now responds 304 Not Modified
  });

• Improve HTML structure in res.redirect() responses when HTML format is accepted by adding <!DOCTYPE html>, <title>, and <body> tags for better browser compatibility - by @​Bernice55231 in #5167

• When calling app.render with options set to null, the locals object is handled correctly, preventing unexpected errors and making the method behave the same as when options is omitted or an empty object is passed - by AkaHarshit in #6903

  app.render('index', null, callback); // now works as expected

• Upgrade content-type to ^2.0.0, bringing a faster parser (~1.5x quicker Content-Type parsing/formatting in res.send()) along with a behavior change: res.send() now keeps any existing parameters when adding the charset and no longer throws on a Content-Type that fails to parse. type-is is upgraded to ^2.1.0 as part of the same change - by @​blakeembrey in #7234

  res.set('Content-Type', 'text/plain; foo=bar').send('hey');
  // -> Content-Type: text/plain; foo=bar; charset=utf-8

• The default error handler now logs the full error object instead of only its stack trace, so nested details such as Error.cause and library-specific properties (e.g. Sequelize's parent/original) are no longer swallowed - by @​Nitin-Mohapatra in #6464

• Upgrade content-disposition to ^2.0.1, which changes the Content-Disposition header emitted by res.download(), res.attachment(), and res.sendFile(): file names that are valid HTTP tokens are no longer wrapped in quotes. This is equivalent per RFC 6266, but applications asserting on the exact header bytes should update their expectations - by @​blakeembrey in #7233

  res.attachment('user.html');
  // before -> Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="user.html"
  // after  -> Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=user.html

• Upgrade qs to ^6.16.0, which fixes CVE-2026-2391 (GHSA-w7fw-mjwx-w883), CVE-2026-82417 (GHSA-4mjr-xmp4-gh2g) and CVE-2026-82562 (GHSA-x5fp-wj9c-mxmx): arrayLimit bypasses in comma parsing and a denial of service via an attacker-controlled isBuffer - by @​davetashner in #7057 and #7478, and @​cyphercodes in #7305

• Upgrade proxy-addr to ^2.0.8, which fixes CVE-2026-90711 - by @​lazerg in #7474

🚀 Improvements

• Allow conditional revalidation for QUERY requests. req.fresh previously only validated freshness for GET and HEAD requests, so QUERY responses never returned 304 despite a matching validator. Since QUERY is a safe, idempotent, and cacheable method that supports conditional requests, it is now included in the freshness check - by @​Cherry in #7366

  // QUERY /reports with If-None-Match: "12345"
  app.query('/reports', (req, res) => {
    res.set('ETag', '"12345"');
    res.send(results); // now responds 304 Not Modified
  });

• Improve HTML structure in res.redirect() responses when HTML format is accepted by adding <!DOCTYPE html>, <title>, and <body> tags for better browser compatibility - by @​Bernice55231 in #5167

• When calling app.render with options set to null, the locals object is handled correctly, preventing unexpected errors and making the method behave the same as when options is omitted or an empty object is passed - by AkaHarshit in #6903

  app.render('index', null, callback); // now works as expected

• Upgrade content-type to ^2.0.0, bringing a faster parser (~1.5x quicker Content-Type parsing/formatting in res.send()) along with a behavior change: res.send() now keeps any existing parameters when adding the charset and no longer throws on a Content-Type that fails to parse. type-is is upgraded to ^2.1.0 as part of the same change - by @​blakeembrey in #7234

  res.set('Content-Type', 'text/plain; foo=bar').send('hey');
  // -> Content-Type: text/plain; foo=bar; charset=utf-8

• The default error handler now logs the full error object instead of only its stack trace, so nes...
