Additional aspects of the CLI broken by fetch change

[codefriar]

Summary

After last wee's bug report about the JWT authorization failing with the errant Detected unsettled top-level await at ... error, we have now tested this with the following matrix:

node version	sf cli version
22	@latest
22	@nightly
24	@latest
24	@nightly

At this point we can reliably authenticate to our dev hub via JWT. However, we're also using the snapshots command sf org snapshot list --target-dev-hub prod --json

When this command runs we now get:

Querying DevHub for latest active baseline snapshot...
Warning: sf stderr output: Warning: Detected unsettled top-level await at file:///opt/hostedtoolcache/node/24.17.0/x64/lib/node_modules/@salesforce/cli/bin/run.js:15
await cli.run();
^
Error: Failed to query snapshots (exit 13): 
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Steps To Reproduce

I'm happy to provide read-only access to our repo to a verified employee github username. Also happy to jump on a call about this.

1. Within the context of a github actions' standard ubuntu runner execute:
2. Authenticate to the Devhub via JWT (Not sure the JWT part is relevant)
3. Execute the following command sf org snapshot list --target-dev-hub prod --json
4. weep.

Expected result

I expect a standard json output listing the snapshots available.

Actual result

The following error occurs:

Querying DevHub for latest active baseline snapshot...
Warning: sf stderr output: Warning: Detected unsettled top-level await at file:///opt/hostedtoolcache/node/24.17.0/x64/lib/node_modules/@salesforce/cli/bin/run.js:15
await cli.run();
^
Error: Failed to query snapshots (exit 13): 
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Sams issue with sf community publish command as well.

Just as an update for impact:

The inability to snag a list of snapshots has our entire CI pipeline hard down.

[rileymeye1]

Confirming we're still hitting this in CI today (2026-06-30), and notably on nightly — so it is not yet fixed there.

• Command: sf org snapshot list --target-dev-hub "devhub" --json
• CLI: @salesforce/cli/2.142.5 (installed via @nightly), signups plugin v2.6.73
• Node: v24.17.0
• Runner: standard ubuntu-latest GitHub Actions runner

Same failure signature as the original report:

Querying DevHub for latest active baseline snapshot...
Warning: Detected unsettled top-level await at file:///opt/hostedtoolcache/node/24.17.0/x64/lib/node_modules/@salesforce/cli/bin/run.js:15
await cli.run();
^
Failed to query snapshots (exit 13):
Process completed with exit code 1.

The command exits non-zero with the unsettled-top-level-await warning and emits no JSON on stdout, so our pool-acquisition step fails and scratch-org setup is blocked. Adding this as another data point that org snapshot list --json is still affected as of 2.142.5 (nightly).

Hello @codefriar @jayesh3009 @rileymeye1 -

thanks for reporting, they are new published versions of node, 24.18.0, 26.4.0 and 22.23.1 that have patched the underlying issue. You've brought up good and valid points though, as we have the published fix in jsforce-node in the nightly build right now, so that should've worked... we'll be digging in.

running node 24.18.0 has worked for me locally where 24.17.0 was falling down
