This is not new in from Node.js 25. The http_parser public binding was removed in v24.0.0 after having emitted a deprecation warning since v16.0.0.

[khteh]

I don't find any reference to this symbol in the entire source code.

[BridgeAR]

As outlined by @targos it's been removed after a long deprecation cycle.

It's from one of your dependencies: node_modules/http-deceiver/lib/deceiver.js
