Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Upgrade to a supported Node version, or pass fetch in client options / polyfill globals; for Jest use a node environment that exposes Web globals.
Option: Provide Web globals [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: OpenAI Node/TypeScript SDK (openai) / runtime shims
Steps:
1. Upgrade Node to a supported LTS
2. Or new OpenAI({ fetch: customFetch })
3. Polyfill ReadableStream/File/crypto in tests
Expected: SDK works
