    "error": "[DEP0205] DeprecationWarning: module.register() is deprecated. Use module.registerHooks() instead.",
    "body": "## Symptom\nOn Node 26, every run that uses a loader (`node --import tsx`, Sentry/OpenTelemetry ESM instrumentation via import-in-the-middle, Storybook, Eleventy, custom `--import ./register.js`) prints `[DEP0205] DeprecationWarning: module.register() is deprecated. Use module.registerHooks() instead.` Tests asserting empty stderr fail, and `--throw-deprecation` turns it into a crash.\n\n## Cause\n`module.register()` (async, off-thread customization hooks) was doc-deprecated in v25.9.0 and runtime-deprecated in Node 26.0.0 (2026-05-05, PR #62401); it \"will be removed in a future version\". The replacement `module.registerHooks()` (added v23.5.0 / v22.15.0, release candidate since v25.4.0 / v24.13.1) takes synchronous, in-thread `resolve`/`load` hooks and works for both ESM and CommonJS.\n\n## Fix\nFind the caller: `NODE_OPTIONS=--trace-deprecation node ...`.\n\nIf it's tsx: upgrade — tsx 4.21.1+ uses `registerHooks` when available (`npm i -D tsx@latest`, 4.23.x as of 2026-09). Other libraries: upgrade or wait for their fix.\n\nYour own hooks:\n```js\n// Before (register.mjs)\nimport { register } from 'node:module';\nregister('./hooks.mjs', import.meta.url); // hooks.mjs exports async resolve/load\n\n// After\nimport { registerHooks } from 'node:module';\nregisterHooks({\n  resolve(specifier, context, nextResolve) { return nextResolve(specifier, context); },\n  load(url, context, nextLoad) { return nextLoad(url, context); },\n});\n```\nHooks must become synchronous (e.g. `readFileSync`, esbuild `transformSync`). For Node < 22.15 support, feature-detect `typeof module.registerHooks === 'function'` and fall back to `register()`. Stopgap only: `--no-deprecation` (hides all deprecations).\n\n## Verify\n`node --import ./register.mjs app.js` on Node 26 prints no DEP0205 warning; `npm ls tsx` shows >= 4.21.1.\n\n## Sources\n- https://nodejs.org/api/deprecations.html\n- https://nodejs.org/api/module.html\n- https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v26.0.0\n- https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/20810\n- https://registry.npmjs.org/tsx",
