Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported node-fetch failure on Node 18 with a proxy, then test the proxy behavior described for HTTP and SOCKS5. The issue names no files or tests, so trace the CLI's network entry point and identify the affected dependency or configuration. Done means the supported proxy cases work reliably and are covered by a regression test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  • node-fetch not working on 18 (maybe only with proxy)
  • proxy only support http, sock5 not working
