### Experimental features behind compile-time flags
129+
130+
Node.js includes certain experimental features that are only available when
131+
Node.js is compiled with specific flags. These features are intended for
132+
development, debugging, or testing purposes and are not enabled in official
133+
releases.
134+
135+
* Security vulnerabilities that only affect features behind compile-time flags
136+
will **not** be accepted as valid security issues.
137+
* Any issues with these features will be treated as normal bugs.
138+
* No CVEs will be issued for issues that only affect compile-time flag features.
139+
* Bug bounty rewards are not available for compile-time flag feature issues.

This policy recognizes that experimental features behind compile-time flags
142+
are not ready for public consumption and may have incomplete implementations,
143+
missing security hardening, or other limitations that make them unsuitable

for production use.
