 ## Upcoming Milestones
 
-### ⚠️ Immediate — Node.js 25 End of Bug Fixes: April 1, 2026
+### ✅ Completed — Upgraded to Node.js 26: May 2026
 
-Node.js 25 receives its final bug-fix release around **April 1, 2026**. Security-only patches continue until **June 1, 2026**.
+All CI/CD workflows, devcontainer configuration, and `package.json` have been updated to Node.js 26. The forward-compatibility workflow (`test-and-report-latest-node.yml`) currently uses `26.0.0-nightly` — it will switch to `27.0.0-nightly` once Node.js 27 nightly builds are published (expected October 2026).
 
-Action required: Upgrade all CI/CD workflows to Node.js 26 immediately after its release in April 2026. See [FUTURE_WORKFLOWS.md](./FUTURE_WORKFLOWS.md) for the detailed upgrade plan.
+### ⚠️ Upcoming — Node.js 25 Security EOL: June 1, 2026
 
-### 🔜 Upcoming — Node.js 26 Release: April 2026
-
-Node.js 26 is expected in **April 2026**. It will:
-
-- Enter "Current" status immediately upon release
-- Graduate to **Active LTS in October 2026**
-- Be maintained (Active + Maintenance) until **April 2029**
-
-**Planned upgrade:** Within **2 weeks** of the Node.js 26 release. See [FUTURE_WORKFLOWS.md](./FUTURE_WORKFLOWS.md).
+Node.js 25 reaches full end-of-life on **June 1, 2026**. This project has already migrated to Node.js 26 — no action required.
 
 ### 📅 Future — Node.js 26 Active LTS: October 2026
 
 When Node.js 26 enters Active LTS, it becomes the recommended production runtime. At this point:
 
 - Node.js 24 transitions from Active LTS to Maintenance LTS
-- The primary workflow (`test-and-report.yml`) should target Node.js 26
+- Update `test-and-report-latest-node.yml` to `27.0.0-nightly` (once available) or `28.0.0-nightly`

+### 📅 Future — Node.js 27 Release: October 2026
+
+Node.js 27 will be released in **October 2026** as an odd-numbered "Current" release (no LTS). When Node.js 27 nightly builds are published, update `test-and-report-latest-node.yml` from `26.0.0-nightly` to `27.0.0-nightly`. Primary workflows remain on Node.js 26 LTS.
