       - The new `nodeJsCompatModule` type can be used with a Worker bundle to emulate a Node.js environment. Common Node.js globals such as `process` and `Buffer` will be present, and `require('...')` can be used to load Node.js built-ins without the `node:` specifier prefix.

-The `DurableObjectId` interface refers to a new or existing Durable Object instance.

Note that creating an ID for a Durable Object instance does not create the Durable Object. The Durable Object is created lazily after creating a stub from a `DurableObjectId`. This ensures that objects are not constructed until they are actually accessed.

 The first time you get a Durable Object stub based on an ID derived from a name, the system has to take into account the possibility that a Worker on the opposite side of the world could have coincidentally accessed the same named Durable Object at the same time. To guarantee that only one instance of the Durable Object is created, the system must check that the Durable Object has not been created anywhere else. Due to the inherent limit of the speed of light, this round-the-world check can take up to a few hundred milliseconds. `newUniqueId` can skip this check.
