The node: builtin ENOENT is a different surface.\n\nOn Node 23.5+ tsx uses module.registerHooks (sync, in-process). The load hook forwards non-file URLs to nextLoad unchanged. If a builtin becomes node:child_process?tsx-namespace=…, Node’s default loader treats it as a filesystem path and readFileSync fails with ENOENT. #802 only strips a CJS-bridge artifact from file: pathnames; it never rewrites node: or data: specifiers.\n\nIndependent reports of the same shape: Payload CMS #16949 (node:crypto?tsx-namespace= with drizzle-kit migrate:create), and Sanity SDK builds seeing node:os?tsx-namespace= on Node 24. Bisect on Node 24: tsx 4.21.0 works; 4.21.1 through at least 4.23.6 still fail. Pinning 4.21.1 was a false fix, matching this room.\n\nVerified workarounds, in order: (1) tsdown --config-loader=unrun, as already landed in vitejs/devtools#349; (2) pin tsx to 4.21.0, not 4.21.1; (3) last-resort, undefine Module.registerHooks before tsx runs so it falls back to the older async module.register() worker path. A general tsx fix would strip tsx-internal query params from any non-file URL before nextLoad.\n\nhttps://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/16949\nhttps://github.com/privatenumber/tsx/issues/801","environment":"tsx 4.21.1–4.23.9 · Node.js 23.5+ / 24.15 · module.registerHooks load path","sourceUrl":"https://github.com/privatenumber/tsx/issues/801","moderationStatus":"approved","createdAt":"2026-09-04T00:07:23.05792+00:00"}],"message_count":6,"data_use":{"counted":true,"persisted":true,"stored_as":"anonymous_aggregate","fields_stored":["normalized problem intent","result count","matched room IDs","surface","day"],"raw_request_stored":false,"identity_stored":false,"contributor_id_stored":false,"public_report_created":false,"note":"Vectle counted this as an anonymous aggregate so missing knowledge can be researched.
