@trishchuk/fetch

A Fetch-API-shaped HTTP client for Node.js, implemented as a Rust native addon (via napi-rs v3) on top of wreq — a hard fork of reqwest running on hyper + BoringSSL through the btls crate — and wreq-util, which ships browser TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprint profiles.

The point of this library is TLS/HTTP2 fingerprint impersonation: making outbound requests whose ClientHello (JA3/JA4) and HTTP/2 SETTINGS/priority frames (Akamai hash) match a real browser, not just an HTTP client that happens to have a fetch()-shaped API. If you don't need fingerprint control, undici/native fetch will be faster to build and easier to deploy (no Rust toolchain, no BoringSSL). Use this when the shape of your TLS handshake is part of what you're testing or evading detection on.

It follows the WHATWG fetch(input, init) shape: input can be a URL string, a URL, or a Request-like object; request bodies accept string, Uint8Array/Buffer, ArrayBuffer, typed arrays, URLSearchParams, and Blob; request headers accept a Headers instance, an array of pairs, or a plain object; and the response carries a WHATWG Headers plus text()/json()/arrayBuffer()/bytes()/blob(). It is still not a full drop-in replacement, though — bodies are buffered (no ReadableStream in either direction), and FormData/multipart, streaming, and AbortSignal aren't wired up yet. See Known limitations, and docs/fetch-compatibility.md for the precise compatibility matrix and a migration guide from native fetch/undici.

Install / build

Once published (see Releasing), npm install @trishchuk/fetch pulls a prebuilt .node binary for your platform via optionalDependencies — no Rust toolchain needed. Until then, or if you're working on this repo, build the native addon locally. You need:

• Node.js (tested on Node 24)
• pnpm (packageManager: [email protected] in package.json)
• A Rust toolchain (cargo, stable channel) — building compiles wreq against BoringSSL via the btls crate, which additionally needs cmake and a C/C++ compiler on your PATH (see the btls/BoringSSL build requirements if the build fails looking for clang/libclang).

pnpm install

# Release build (optimized, LTO, stripped — this is what `.node` should be
# in normal use; the compile is slow because of LTO + BoringSSL).
pnpm run build

# Debug build (fast iteration, unoptimized binary).
pnpm run build:debug

# Run the test suite (node:test). Most tests spin up a local HTTP server;
# a couple in test/curl-impersonate-presets.test.js hit the real
# https://tls.peet.ws/api/all fingerprint-echo service and need network
# access.
pnpm test

# Format (Prettier for JS/MD/YAML, `cargo fmt` for Rust) and lint (ESLint +
# `cargo clippy -D warnings`). CI runs the `:check`/non-writing form of both.
pnpm run format
pnpm run lint

Both build commands emit a platform-specific binary (e.g. fetch.darwin-arm64.node) plus the generated loader binding.js / binding.d.ts, which the hand-authored index.js wrapper loads at require time. napi.targets in package.json lists the platforms this crate is set up to cross-compile for; you still need the matching Rust target installed to actually build one.

Quick start

const { fetch } = require('@trishchuk/fetch')

async function main() {
  const res = await fetch('https://example.com')

  console.log(res.status) // 200
  console.log(res.ok) // true (status in 200..299)
  console.log(res.headers.get('content-type'))
  console.log(await res.text())
}

main()

fetch() never rejects on a non-2xx HTTP response — that's a normal FetchResponse with ok: false. It only rejects on things that prevent a response from existing at all: a connection/timeout failure, an unknown impersonate name, an invalid proxy URL, or a malformed option like a bad tlsMinVersion. Check res.ok / res.status for HTTP-level errors; use try/catch for transport-level ones.

const res = await fetch('https://example.com/api')
if (!res.ok) {
  throw new Error(`request failed: ${res.status} ${res.statusText}`)
}
const data = await res.json()

Use cases

1. Basic impersonated GET/POST

Every call already impersonates a browser — chrome_147 is the default when impersonate is omitted.

const { fetch } = require('@trishchuk/fetch')

// GET, default profile (chrome_147)
const res = await fetch('https://example.com')

// POST with a JSON body — body is a plain string, so stringify yourself
const created = await fetch('https://example.com/api/items', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ name: 'widget' }),
  impersonate: 'safari_26',
})
console.log(created.status, await created.json())

The call follows the WHATWG fetch(input, init) shape, so the inputs and body types you'd reach for with native fetch mostly just work:

// A URL object or a Request-like input, not just a string
await fetch(new URL('https://example.com/page'))
await fetch(new Request('https://example.com/api', { method: 'POST', body: 'hi' }))

// Form-encoded body (Content-Type is set for you)
await fetch('https://example.com/login', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: new URLSearchParams({ user: 'a', pass: 'b' }),
})

// Binary body (Uint8Array / Buffer / ArrayBuffer / typed arrays / Blob)
await fetch('https://example.com/upload', {
  method: 'PUT',
  headers: { 'content-type': 'application/octet-stream' },
  body: new Uint8Array([0x89, 0x50, 0x4e, 0x47]),
})

// Headers as a Headers instance or an array of pairs, and richer response reads
const res = await fetch('https://example.com/data', {
  headers: new Headers({ accept: 'application/json' }),
})
res.headers.get('content-type') // WHATWG Headers (iterable, forEach, get)
const bytes = await res.bytes() // Uint8Array; also blob(), arrayBuffer(), text(), json()

2. Picking a curl-impersonate preset and inspecting what it resolves to

impersonate also accepts any of the 19 preset names from curl-impersonate's browsers.json (chrome116, ff109, safari15_5, ...) as a convenience for callers migrating from curl-impersonate wrapper scripts. listImpersonatePresets() tells you exactly which native wreq-util profile each one maps to, and whether that mapping is byte-exact.

const { fetch, listImpersonatePresets } = require('@trishchuk/fetch')

const presets = listImpersonatePresets()
const chrome116 = presets.find((p) => p.name === 'chrome116')
console.log(chrome116)
// {
//   name: 'chrome116',
//   profile: 'chrome_116',   // underlying wreq-util profile
//   platform: 'windows',
//   browserVersion: '116.0.5845.180',
//   exact: true,             // wreq-util ships this exact browser version
// }

const res = await fetch('https://example.com', { impersonate: 'chrome116' })

11 of the 19 presets are exact: true (wreq-util has a profile for that precise browser version). The other 8 predate wreq-util's oldest profile per browser family (Chrome/Edge/Firefox pre-2022) and resolve to the closest newer profile available — a nearest-neighbor approximation, not a byte-exact match. Check exact before relying on one of these for a fingerprint that must match a specific old browser version.

3. Multi-request session with persistent cookies (login flow)

Pass the same session id (and the same impersonate/TLS/HTTP options) on every call that should share a cookie jar and connection pool — exactly what a real browser tab does across page navigations.

const { fetch } = require('@trishchuk/fetch')

const session = 'user-42' // any string you control; scope it per logical user/tab

const login = await fetch('https://example.com/login', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ user: 'alice', pass: 'hunter2' }),
  session,
})
if (!login.ok) throw new Error(`login failed: ${login.status}`)

// Same session id (and same impersonate/tlsMinVersion/tlsMaxVersion/
// httpVersion) -> reuses the client that now holds the Set-Cookie from
// /login. If you vary any of those fields between calls, you get a
// *different* cached client with an empty cookie jar and the cookie won't
// carry over.
const profile = await fetch('https://example.com/account', { session })
console.log(await profile.json())

Calls that omit session entirely are stateless and never share cookies with anyone, even other calls using the same impersonate profile — that's the default specifically so unrelated callers can't accidentally leak cookies into each other via a shared client.

4. Rotating proxy per request

proxy is applied per call, independent of client caching — it does not change which cached client/session a call reuses, so you can rotate proxies freely within one session without losing its cookie jar.

const { fetch } = require('@trishchuk/fetch')

const proxies = [
  'http://user:[email protected]:3128',
  'http://user:[email protected]:3128',
  'socks5://proxy3.example.com:1080',
]

for (const [i, url] of ['https://a.example', 'https://b.example', 'https://c.example'].entries()) {
  const res = await fetch(url, { proxy: proxies[i % proxies.length] })
  console.log(url, res.status)
}

5. Timeout

const { fetch } = require('@trishchuk/fetch')

try {
  const res = await fetch('https://example.com/slow', { timeoutMs: 5000 })
} catch (err) {
  console.error('request timed out or failed:', err.message)
}

6. Low-level TLS override escape hatch (tlsOptions)

tlsOptions lets you hand-tune specific ClientHello fields (cipher list, curves, signature algorithms, extension permutation, session tickets) on top of whatever impersonate resolves to. This is not a free lunch: any field you set diverges the fingerprint from the pure impersonate profile by definition. Unset fields keep the preset's values (confirmed empirically — overriding only cipherList leaves curves, the HTTP/2 Akamai hash, and the User-Agent exactly as the base profile's; only the cipher-related JA3/JA4 segments change), but every field you do set is a byte your traffic no longer shares with the real browser you're impersonating. Only reach for this when you need bytes the preset doesn't offer.

const { fetch } = require('@trishchuk/fetch')

const res = await fetch('https://example.com', {
  impersonate: 'chrome_147',
  tlsOptions: {
    cipherList: 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256',
    permuteExtensions: true,
  },
})

tlsOptions (like tlsMinVersion/tlsMaxVersion/httpVersion) is part of the client cache key — see How it works — so a call with tlsOptions set gets its own cached client, isolated from calls without it even if impersonate/session otherwise match.

API reference

The public API is the ergonomic wrapper in index.js (typed by the hand-authored index.d.ts), which wraps the NAPI-generated native binding (binding.js / binding.d.ts, produced from src/lib.rs). Field names here are the camelCase names you use from JS. For how this compares to native fetch field by field — plus a migration guide — see docs/fetch-compatibility.md.

fetch(input, init?) => Promise<FetchResponse>

The main entry point, shaped like WHATWG fetch. input is a full URL string, a URL, or a Request-like object (anything with a string url; its method/headers/body are read and its body is buffered). init is the option bag below — WHATWG fields (method, headers, body) plus this package's fingerprint/transport options. When both input (a Request) and init supply the same field, init wins. Every field is optional.

FetchInit

| Field | Type | Default | Meaning | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | method | string | "GET" | HTTP method. | | headers | Headers \| [string,string][] \| Record<string,string> | none | Request headers as a Headers instance, an array of pairs, or a plain object. Case-insensitive duplicate names are combined with ", " the way Headers does. | | body | string \| Uint8Array \| ArrayBuffer \| ArrayBufferView \| URLSearchParams \| Blob | none | Request body. URLSearchParams and Blob also set a default Content-Type (form-urlencoded / the blob's type) unless you set one. No FormData/multipart or streams — see Known limitations. | | impersonate | string | "chrome_147" | Fingerprint to emulate: a native wreq-util profile name ("chrome_147", "safari_26", "firefox_142"), a curl-impersonate preset name ("chrome116", "ff109", "safari15_5" — see listImpersonatePresets()), or "random" / "weighted_random". | | platform | string | profile default | Declared OS for User-Agent/client-hint headers: "windows", "macos", "linux", "android", or "ios". Client-level; has no effect for random profiles. | | proxy | string | none | Proxy URL for this request (http://, https://, or socks5://, with optional userinfo). Applied per request; does not affect client-cache reuse. | | session | string | none (stateless) | Opaque session id. Calls with the same (session, impersonate, tlsMinVersion, tlsMaxVersion, httpVersion) reuse one client and its cookie jar. Omitted = no cookie jar, never shared with anyone. | | timeoutMs | number | none (no timeout) | Overall request timeout in milliseconds. | | maxResponseBytes | number | 33,554,432 (32 MiB) | Hard limit for the fully buffered response body. The request rejects if the decoded body exceeds it. | | tlsMinVersion | string | profile default | Minimum TLS version to offer: "1.0", "1.1", "1.2", "1.3". Client-level (part of the cache key). | | tlsMaxVersion | string | profile default | Maximum TLS version to offer. Client-level. | | httpVersion | string | ALPN-negotiated | Force "http1" or "http2" instead of letting ALPN pick. Client-level. | | tlsOptions | TlsOptionsOverride | none | Raw ClientHello overrides layered on the impersonate profile. Diverges the fingerprint — see Use case 6. Client-level. |

impersonate, platform, session, tlsMinVersion, tlsMaxVersion, httpVersion, and tlsOptions are all client-level: they determine which cached wreq::Client (and connection pool / cookie jar) a call uses. method, headers, body, proxy, and timeoutMs are per-request and don't affect caching.

FetchResponse

| Member | Type | Meaning | | --------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | status | number (readonly) | HTTP status code. | | statusText | string (readonly) | Canonical reason phrase for status from the http crate's table — not necessarily the literal wire reason phrase (HTTP/2 responses have none on the wire at all). | | ok | boolean (readonly) | true iff status is in 200..299. | | url | string (readonly) | Final URL after following redirects. | | redirected | boolean (readonly) | true iff the final URL differs from the requested one. | | bodyUsed | boolean (readonly) | true once any body accessor has run. Advisory — because the body is buffered, accessors are re-readable and don't throw on a second call (see below). | | headers | Headers (getter) | Response headers as a WHATWG Headers (iterable, forEach, getSetCookie, case-insensitive get/has). | | rawHeaders | FetchHeaders (getter) | The native header collection, preserving the server's original casing and order (which WHATWG Headers lower-cases and sorts away — kept for fingerprint work). See below. | | text() | Promise<string> | Body decoded as UTF-8 (lossy, like WHATWG — invalid bytes become U+FFFD). | | json() | Promise<any> | Body parsed as JSON. Rejects on invalid JSON. | | bytes() | Promise<Uint8Array> | Raw body bytes as a Uint8Array. | | blob() | Promise<Blob> | Body as a Blob, typed from the response Content-Type. | | arrayBuffer() | Promise<ArrayBuffer> | Raw body bytes as a real Web ArrayBuffer. |

All body accessors are async — the response body is fully read before fetch() resolves, but the accessors return Promises to keep the WHATWG shape. Because the body is buffered in memory, accessors are re-readable: calling text() then json() on the same response works (a real WHATWG stream would throw on the second read). bodyUsed still flips to true after the first read so code that checks it behaves sensibly.

clearSession(session) => number

Drops every cached client for session, including its in-memory cookie jar. Returns the number of cached client variants removed. Use this on logout or when a session id is no longer valid. clearClientCache() clears every cached client and is intended for controlled process/test boundaries.

FetchHeaders

Not a plain Record<string, string> — a small case-insensitive header collection, similar in spirit to the Fetch API's Headers:

| Method | Returns | Notes | | ----------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | get(name) | string \| null | Case-insensitive. If multiple headers share a name, values are joined with ", ". | | has(name) | boolean | Case-insensitive. | | entries() | Array<Array<string>> | All header pairs ([name, value]), original case, in response order. | | keys() | string[] | All header names, original case, may contain duplicates. | | values() | string[] | All header values, in the same order as keys(). |

listImpersonatePresets() => ImpersonatePresetInfo[]

Lists all 19 curl-impersonate preset names accepted by impersonate.

ImpersonatePresetInfo

| Field | Type | Meaning | | ---------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | name | string | curl-impersonate preset name, e.g. "chrome116". | | profile | string | The underlying wreq-util profile this preset resolves to, e.g. "chrome_116". | | platform | string | Platform the profile emulates, e.g. "windows", "macos", "android". | | browserVersion | string | Browser version curl-impersonate pinned this preset to. | | exact | boolean | false means curl-impersonate's pinned version predates wreq-util's oldest profile for that browser family, so profile is a nearest-neighbor approximation, not a byte-exact fingerprint match. |

TlsOptionsOverride

| Field | Type | Meaning | | ------------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | cipherList | string | OpenSSL-format cipher list (same string curl-impersonate's wrapper scripts pass to --ciphers). | | curvesList | string | OpenSSL-format supported-curves list (curl's --curves). | | sigalgsList | string | OpenSSL-format signature-algorithms list. | | permuteExtensions | boolean | Randomize ClientHello extension order (curl's --tls-permute-extensions). | | sessionTicket | boolean | Whether to offer TLS session tickets (RFC 5077). |

Only these five fields are exposed — not the full ~25-field BoringSSL option set (ECH GREASE, delegated credentials, PSK, key shares, etc. are intentionally left out; they drift across wreq releases and are rarely hand-tuned in practice).

Known limitations

• Buffered bodies only. Both request and response bodies are fully materialized in memory. There is no ReadableStream support in either direction. Response bodies are capped at 32 MiB by default; use maxResponseBytes to select a different explicit bound. Large payloads (multi-GB downloads/uploads) are not a good fit.

• No FormData/multipart request bodies. Strings, Uint8Array/Buffer, ArrayBuffer, typed arrays, URLSearchParams, and Blob all work, but passing a FormData throws. A generic multipart serialization (its boundary token, part order, and header casing) is itself fingerprintable and would diverge from what the impersonated browser sends — the same reason tlsOptions is opt-in. Serialize multipart yourself and pass the bytes if you need it, or track this as a planned "match the browser's multipart" feature. Streaming upload (a ReadableStream body) is likewise unsupported.

• No AbortSignal yet. Passing signal has no effect; there's no in-flight cancellation. Real cancellation needs the abort wired down into the native request future (so the wreq request is actually dropped, not just the JS promise rejected) — planned, not yet done. Use timeoutMs for a hard deadline in the meantime.

• tlsOptions genuinely diverges the fingerprint. It composes with impersonate rather than clobbering it (unset fields keep the profile's values), but every field you do set is, by construction, no longer what the impersonated browser would send. Don't reach for it unless you've confirmed you need it.

• No cookie access outside sessions. Cookies are only observable as a side effect of reusing a session; there's no API to read/set/clear individual cookies directly.

• No per-request header repetition. You can pass a Headers, an array of pairs, or an object, but case-insensitive duplicate names are combined with ", " (WHATWG Headers semantics) before the request goes out — you can't send the same header name as two separate lines on the wire.

• statusText honesty note. It's the canonical reason phrase from the http crate's status table, not necessarily the literal bytes on the wire (HTTP/2 doesn't have a wire reason phrase at all). Low-stakes, but don't treat it as a raw passthrough.

• TCP/IP-level fingerprint is NOT spoofed and reveals the real host OS. Verified against https://networktest.proxywing.com:8443/api/all, which fingerprints the TCP handshake (TTL, window size, MSS, option order) the same way p0f does, independent of anything TLS-related: switching impersonate between chrome_147, firefox_142, and safari_26 changed ja4/user_agent correctly on every call, but tcpip.os_guess stayed "macOS / iOS" and tcpip.init_ttl/tcpip.tcp_options_order stayed identical across all three — because those come from the host kernel's TCP stack, below anything a userspace TLS/HTTP library (this one included) can reach. A detector that cross-checks TLS fingerprint against TCP/IP fingerprint can catch a "Windows Chrome" TLS profile running over a macOS/Linux TCP stack as inconsistent.

  Fixing this requires the TCP/IP layer to actually match, which means running on a host whose kernel is the OS you're declaring — not something a userspace library can do, and not as simple as "run it in a container" either. A container shares its host's kernel rather than bringing its own, so it can only make you look like whatever OS is actually running underneath. docker/ in this repo has a Linux-coherent setup (Linux container + platform: 'linux') plus docker/verify-tcp-coherence.js to check it against a live fingerprinting service — and that verification caught a real gap: on Docker Desktop for Mac, the container's egress traffic is NATed through the macOS host's own network stack, so tcpip.os_guess still said "macOS / iOS" from inside a genuinely-Linux container (uname -a correctly said Linux; the wire-level TCP fingerprint didn't care). This setup only buys real coherence on an actual Linux Docker host (bare metal or a cloud VM) — verify there before relying on it. For non-Linux targets (declaring Windows/macOS TCP/IP), the only remaining options are running on real hardware/VMs of that OS, or a privileged raw-socket packet rewriter that intercepts and edits outbound SYN packets — both outside this library's scope.

• This is a from-scratch, purpose-built client, not a general-purpose fetch/undici replacement. If you don't need TLS/HTTP2 fingerprint control, use something with a bigger surface area and less native-build overhead.

How it works

The client is built on wreq (a reqwest fork) running on hyper with BoringSSL as its TLS backend (via the btls crate, rather than the usual rustls/OpenSSL choices) — BoringSSL is what lets it produce the exact ClientHello byte layout real Chrome/Firefox/ Safari builds produce, because Chrome itself is built on BoringSSL. wreq-util supplies ready-made Emulation profiles (TLS options + HTTP/1/2 settings + default headers) per browser/version/platform; impersonate selects one of those, or a curl-impersonate preset name that's mapped onto the closest wreq-util profile (see CURL_IMPERSONATE_PRESETS in src/lib.rs).

Every distinct combination of (impersonate, session, tlsMinVersion, tlsMaxVersion, httpVersion, tlsOptions) gets its own cached wreq::Client, keyed by a ClientKey (see get_or_build_client in src/lib.rs). This isn't an optimization detail you can ignore — it's load-bearing for correctness:

• The TLS/HTTP2 fingerprint is a property of the client/connection, not of an individual request. A wreq::Client is built once from an Emulation config and reuses that config (and its connection pool) for every request sent through it. There's no way to vary the fingerprint per-request on a shared client, so distinct fingerprints require distinct clients.
• Cookies are a property of the client, not of a request either. A cookie jar is attached only when session is set (cookie_store(key.session.is_some())). Two calls only share cookies if they resolve to the same cache key — which is why session alone isn't enough; impersonate/TLS/HTTP-version have to match too, otherwise you'd silently get a different client with an empty jar.
• random/weighted_random pick one profile the first time they're requested for a given cache key and then keep reusing that same client — matching how a real browser session sticks to one fingerprint rather than re-randomizing every request.

tlsOptions overrides are applied by mutating the resolved Emulation's own tls_options struct field-by-field before it's handed to the client builder, rather than replacing the whole TLS config wholesale — that's what lets an override of, say, only cipherList leave curves, HTTP/2 settings, and headers untouched. This was verified empirically against https://tls.peet.ws/api/all, not just assumed from reading the wreq API: overriding only the cipher list left curves, the HTTP/2 Akamai hash, and the User-Agent unchanged, with only the cipher-related JA3/JA4 segments differing from the base profile's.

Other empirically confirmed facts (against tls.peet.ws, not mocked):

• Custom request headers do not corrupt the HTTP/2 fingerprint — the Akamai hash is identical with and without custom headers on the same profile.
• chrome116 (curl-impersonate preset) produces sec-ch-ua, User-Agent, Accept, and sec-fetch-* headers matching curl-impersonate's actual curl_chrome116 wrapper script nearly byte-for-byte.
• JA4's first segment (e.g. t13d1516h2 vs t13d1517h2) can flip between a fresh TLS handshake and a session-resumed one on the same client. This is expected BoringSSL/browser session-ticket behavior, not a bug — compare the cipher-suite/extension-hash segments of JA4 instead of the whole string if you're asserting fingerprint equality in tests (see test/curl-impersonate-presets.test.js).
• Cross-checked against a second, independent fingerprinting service — ProxyWing's TLS Fingerprint Test (backend at https://networktest.proxywing.com:8443/api/all) — not just tls.peet.ws: chrome_147 produced the exact same JA4 (t13d1516h2_8daaf6152771_d8a2da3f94cd) on both services. This endpoint also reports a passive TCP/IP fingerprint (p0f-style: TTL, window size, option order → OS guess), which is how the TCP/IP limitation above was found — see Known limitations.

CI / Releasing

.github/workflows/build.yml is a reusable workflow that builds every target in napi.targets (macOS arm64/x64, Linux x64/arm64-gnu, Windows x64) and uploads each .node binary as a bindings-<target> artifact, running pnpm test on every target except aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu (cross-compiled on an x64 runner, not natively executable there — see the comment in build.yml; run the suite on real arm64 Linux before trusting that binary).

• ci.yml calls it on every push/PR to main.
• release.yml calls it on v* tags, then assembles the binaries into npm/<platform>/ (via napi artifacts), updates versions (napi pre-publish), and npm publishes each platform package plus the main @trishchuk/fetch package — the same optionalDependencies wiring binding.js's binary-loading logic already expects.

To cut a release: bump version in package.json, commit, tag it v<version> (matching exactly — the workflow checks this and fails otherwise), and push the tag. Requires an NPM_TOKEN repository secret with publish rights to @trishchuk/fetch*; GITHUB_TOKEN (automatic) is used for the napi pre-publish --gh-release GitHub Release.

None of this has been run against a real GitHub Actions runner yet — the workflows are actionlint-clean and napi artifacts's artifact→npm-dir copy step was verified locally with a real .node binary, but a live end-to-end run (especially the Windows/BoringSSL and aarch64 cross-compile jobs, the riskiest parts) still needs to happen on an actual push before trusting a tagged release.
