What's the problem?

The selfSignedCert option passes an undici Agent as dispatcher to fetch(). But Node's built-in fetch() and undici@8's Agent use different internal handler APIs - passing them together throws:

invalid onRequestStart method

What's the fix?

When selfSignedCert is enabled (i.e. a dispatcher is set), use undici's own fetch() instead of the global one. For all other requests, keep using globalThis.fetch.

const fetchFn = requestOptions.dispatcher ? undiciFetch : globalThis.fetch;

Why not just always use undici's fetch?

That would fix the crash - but it would break some tests. MSW (Mock Service Worker), which is used in our test suite to intercept HTTP requests, only hooks into globalThis.fetch. Undici's fetch bypasses those interceptors entirely, so tests would start making real network requests instead of getting the mocked responses. We could rewrite all tests to use undici-compatible mocking instead - but that would be a massive change for no real benefit.


Fixes #4093

Node's built-in fetch() and npm undici@8's Agent have incompatible
internal handler interfaces. Passing an undici Agent as dispatcher
to globalThis.fetch() throws "invalid onRequestStart method".

Use undici.fetch only when a custom dispatcher is set (selfSignedCert),
keeping globalThis.fetch for all other requests.

## Release Notes
Thanks to: @cgillinger, @khassel, @KristjanESPERANTO, @sonnyb9
> ⚠️ This release needs nodejs version >=22.21.1 <23 || >=24 (no change
to previous release)

[Compare to previous Release
v2.35.0](v2.35.0...v2.36.0)

This release falls outside the quarterly schedule. We opted for an early
release due to:
- Security fix for the internal cors proxy
- API change of the weather provider smi
- Several bug fixes

### Breaking Changes

The cors proxy is now disabled by default. If required, it must be
explicitly enabled in the `config.js` file. See the
[documentation](https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/cors.html).

### ⚠️ Security

You can find several publicly accessible MagicMirror² instances.

This should never be done. Doing so makes your entire configuration,
including secrets and API keys, publicly visible. Furthermore, it allows
attackers to target the host; this is only prevented beginning with this
release.

Public MagicMirror² instances should always run behind a reverse proxy
with authentication.
