Deprecation warning with VS Code extensions using Node.js v20+: "navigator is now a global in nodejs"

[EhabY]

Warning in VS Code 1.101+:

2025-11-02 01:39:50.792 [warning] [Deprecation Warning] 'PendingMigrationError' is deprecated. navigator is now a global in nodejs, please see https://aka.ms/vscode-extensions/navigator for additional info on this error.
 FROM: PendingMigrationError: navigator is now a global in nodejs, please see https://aka.ms/vscode-extensions/navigator for additional info on this error.

Root Cause

Node.js v21+ introduced navigator as a global object (https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v21.2.0). The library contains checks like:

if (typeof navigator !== 'undefined') {
  // browser-specific code
}

It seems the following 3 places violate this rule:

• Browser detection logic in lib/jsbn.js -> Faulty Node.JS check
• Entropy collection in lib/random.js -> Might be faulty since some Node.JS versions have a navigator object that is unlike the browser one
• Hardware concurrency in lib/util.js -> Technically valid
