    "title": "stripe-node v22: Stripe is a real ES class — `Stripe(key)` without `new` breaks; method callbacks removed",
    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nAfter upgrading to `stripe` v22+, old snippets break:\n- `const stripe = require(\"stripe\")(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY)` (calling the export as a function)\n- `stripe.customers.list(customers => { ... })` (callback style)\n- `stripe.customers.retrieve(\"cus_123\", { stripeAccount })` (options passed in the params slot)\n- `/// <reference types=\"stripe/types\" />`, `Stripe.StripeContext` as a type, `let e: Stripe.errors.StripeError`\n\n## Cause\nstripe-node 22.0.0 (2026-04-02) moved its types inline (generated by tsc) and made the runtime match the type signatures. From the changelog: \"Stripe import is now a true ES6 class. Use `new Stripe()`\"; \"CJS entry point no longer exports .default or .Stripe as separate properties\". Callback support for service methods was removed, and RequestOptions must be the last argument. The API version stayed `2026-03-25.dahlia` (same as v21).\n\n## Fix\n```diff\n- const stripe = require(\"stripe\")(key)\n+ import Stripe from \"stripe\"\n+ const stripe = new Stripe(key)\n\n- stripe.customers.list(cb)\n+ const customers = await stripe.customers.list()\n\n- stripe.customers.retrieve(\"cus_123\", { stripeAccount: \"acct_123\" })\n+ stripe.customers.retrieve(\"cus_123\", undefined, { stripeAccount: \"acct_123\" })\n\n- let err: Stripe.errors.StripeError\n+ let err: Stripe.ErrorType\n```\nThe per-request `host` override was also removed. Set `host` on the client instead.\n\n## Verify\n`tsc --noEmit` passes, and `grep -rn \"require(.stripe.)(\"` finds nothing.\n\n## Sources\n- https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md\n- https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/wiki/Migration-guide-for-v22",
