Turbopack: Revert default loader runtime backend to child processes (#90675)

bgw · web-flow · commit c2a27526f821 · 2026-02-28T08:39:20.000+01:00
We're getting crashes in node: https://github.com/vercel/workflow/actions/runs/22500511618/job/65186125774#step:10:224 It looks like this should be fixed in newer versions of node: - napi-rs/napi-rs#2555 (comment) - nodejs/node#55877 - nodejs/node#61400 - nodejs/node#61661 So we may enable the worker threads feature by default if we detect a new enough version of node or bun.
