+## smartrequest v5+ Migration (2025-11-17)
+
+### Breaking Change
+smartrequest v5.0.0+ returns web `ReadableStream` objects (Web Streams API) instead of Node.js streams.
+
+### Solution Implemented
+All streaming methods now convert web ReadableStreams to Node.js streams using:
+```typescript
+plugins.smartstream.nodewebhelpers.convertWebReadableToNodeReadable(webStream)
+```
+
+### Files Modified
+- `ts/classes.host.ts`:
+  - `requestStreaming()` - Converts web stream to Node.js stream before returning
+  - `getEventObservable()` - Works with converted Node.js stream
+
+- `ts/classes.image.ts`:
+  - `createFromTarStream()` - Uses converted Node.js stream for event handling
+  - `exportToTarStream()` - Uses converted Node.js stream for backpressure management
+
+### Testing
+- Build:  All 11 type errors resolved
+- Tests:  Node.js tests pass (DockerHost, DockerContainer, DockerImage, DockerImageStore)
+
+### Notes
+- The conversion maintains backward compatibility with existing code expecting Node.js stream methods (`.on()`, `.emit()`, `.pause()`, `.resume()`)
+- smartstream's `nodewebhelpers` module provides bidirectional conversion utilities between web and Node.js streams
