## Summary

Node.js 26.6.0 has been released with several notable changes including a new FFI `getCurrentEventLoop` API, two test_runner improvements (`context.log()` method and `test:log` event, plus `entryFile` reporting in TestStream events), and a large number of bug fixes and performance improvements across streams, HTTP/2, QUIC, crypto, and other subsystems. Dependency updates include npm 11.18.0, libffi 3.7.1, ngtcp2 1.24.0, and zlib 1.3.2.1.

> Worth flagging that the summary undersells this one a bit — the crypto module getting split into three distinct backends and the streams overhaul with ring buffers is the bigger architectural story here, not just the FFI/test_runner additions. `getCurrentEventLoop()` on FFI is a small API surface but solves a real correctness problem for anyone doing native callouts from worker threads — execution context mismatches there are nasty to debug.

> I'd run parallel tests that all call context.log() and check that no line lands under the wrong test.
