Reading with CreateGitHubReader throws an error when used with cloudflare workers and opennextjs

[SomewhatMay]

I am trying to get Keystatic to work with NextJS 15 and Cloudflare Workers. I am using @opennextjs/cloudflare with wrangler to build and preview the NextJS project.

I initially faced issues using createReader with this setup, as Cloudflare does not provide a NodeJS runtime, and thus Keystatic cannot use fs.readdir. I decided to give createGitHubReader a try, and it seems to work when I build using next on my local computer. However, the moment I build with OpenNextJS and Wrangler, I get the following error:

[wrangler:info] Ready on http://localhost:8787

Note that this error does not appear if I merely create the reader; it only appears when I use it to read a collection or a singleton. Clearly, the request that Keystatic is making to GitHub lacks a user-agent header, and after looking through the documentation and prior issues, I cannot find any way to add a user-agent header myself. Any help is much appreciated!

To get this to work properly, I had to override the fetch method to include a user agent.

const originalFetch = globalThis.fetch;
globalThis.fetch = (url, init) => {
  const headers = new Headers(init?.headers);
  if (!headers.has("User-Agent")) {
    headers.set("User-Agent", "MyApp/1.0.0");
  }

  return originalFetch(url, {
    ...init,
    headers,
  });
};

This is definitely a hacky solution and should not be a final solution to this issue.
