Compatibility dates
This platform has one effective compatibility date: effective_compatibility_date from the formal runtime lock, currently 2026-08-30. Projects cannot choose a date.
sh
ocd capabilities --jsonRead runtime.effective_compatibility_date. The live value is the JSON on the node.
The meaning of the date matches Cloudflare: it selects workerd's observable behavior as of that day. See Cloudflare compatibility dates.
