Release v8.9.0 · ExaDev/agent-shim

Platform support

macOS arm64 (agent-shim-macos-arm64): verified. Node core tests and supports --build-sea on this target.
macOS x64 (agent-shim-macos-x64-unverified): best-effort only. Node core does not test or verify single-executable-application support on x64 — this binary is provided for convenience, not as a supported target. If it's missing from this release, the best-effort build failed and was skipped rather than silently shipping a broken binary.
Linux x64 / arm64 (agent-shim-linux-x64, agent-shim-linux-arm64): verified. Node core tests --build-sea on every Linux distribution it supports except Alpine, and every architecture except s390x.
Windows x64 / arm64 (agent-shim-windows-x64.zip, agent-shim-windows-arm64.zip): verified. Node core documents Windows support for --build-sea without the x64-only carve-out that applies to macOS.
npm (npx agent-shim / npm install -g agent-shim): the plain bundle, not a SEA binary — runs under whatever Node (22.18 or later, or 24 and above) you already have.
Homebrew (brew install ExaDev/agent-shim/agent-shim) and Scoop (scoop install agent-shim after scoop bucket add agent-shim https://github.com/ExaDev/scoop-agent-shim) are updated automatically to this release by the jobs below.
