   There appears to be a remaining "Directory not found" issue showing up for v27.0.0-nightly202609268812357aff from 2026-09-26.

   https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/index.json shows:

     {
       "version": "v27.0.0-nightly202609268812357aff",
       "date": "2026-09-26",
       "files": [
         "aix-ppc64",
         "headers",
         "linux-arm64",
         "linux-ppc64le",

         "win-arm64-7z",
         "win-arm64-zip",
         "win-x64-7z",
         "win-x64-exe",
         "win-x64-msi",

       ],

       "modules": "147",
       "lts": false,
       "security": false
     },

   The directory v27.0.0-nightly202609268812357aff/ is also listed under https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/

   Clicking on the directory v27.0.0-nightly202609268812357aff/ in a web browser results in "Directory not found" however.

   curl -I https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/v27.0.0-nightly202609268812357aff/ # results in HTTP 404 failure
   curl -I https://direct.nodejs.org/download/nightly/v27.0.0-nightly202609268812357aff/ # results in HTTP 200 success

   The n Node.js version manager is however able to install nightly for linux-x64:

   $ n nightly

        copying : nightly/27.0.0-nightly202609268812357aff

   that's the exact behavior a coding agent said would occur (human browsing would still have a gap, programmatic access would succeed) - we have a follow up planned

   edit: i'll try to get to this amidst nodeconf eu travel

   Since neither nvm nor nvm-windows know how to download nightly Node.js releases out-of-the-box, there is a still a gap to be filled by humans. Again, since there haven't been other reports about the nightlies, I would assume low impact, so don't pressure yourself to get a fix in! Your regular TODO list should be fine 🙂 !

   What was the follow-up planned to be and do you have a rough timeframe to get it fixed?

   It's slowly becoming a little awkward to have to work around this issue, especially as the planned release date 2026-10-28 for Node.js 27 approaches, where it would be nice to run some checks before the release.

   https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/v27.0.0-nightly202610123b639be3a4/ for 2026-10-12 continues the sequence with:

   Directory not found

   Is there any solution on the horizon?
