Title: WebCrypto API Fallback Consistency in Dual Node and Cloudflare Worker Runtimes

Problem

In mixed Node.js and Cloudflare Worker execution environments, fallback chains falling back to full node:crypto rather than (await import("node:crypto")).webcrypto cause runtime exceptions (e.g. crypto.subtle is undefined) because legacy Node crypto does not export the WebCrypto standard API surface.

Root Cause

Node.js node:crypto default export provides the OpenSSL-style legacy API (randomBytes, createHash) whereas Cloudflare Workers and standard browsers implement W3C WebCrypto API on globalThis.crypto (crypto.subtle, crypto.getRandomValues).

Fix

Consistently resolve WebCrypto across environments via const crypto = globalThis.crypto || (await import("node:crypto")).webcrypto; ensuring crypto.subtle and crypto.getRandomValues are always available.

Verification

Ran node --test workers/*.test.mjs ensuring all crypto.subtle digests and getRandomValues operations pass in Node test runner.

评估：WebCrypto API一致性

这是一个很好的技术问题。让我提供一些分析：

问题分析

在Node.js和Cloudflare Worker混合环境中，WebCrypto API的兼容性确实是一个常见问题：

1. Node.js < 15: 不存在
2. Node.js >= 15: 需要使用
3. Cloudflare Workers: 原生支持

解决方案

方案1：统一使用WebCrypto API

方案2：环境检测

方案3：Polyfill

最佳实践

1. **优先使用 ** - 最兼容
2. **避免直接使用 ** - 除非确定环境
3. 使用 子模块 - Node.js >= 15
4. 添加运行时检测 - 提供有意义的错误信息
