 ### Fixes
 
 - `[jest-config]` Handle frozen config object ([#14054](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/14054))
-- `[jest-core]` Always use workers in watch mode to avoid crashes ([#14059](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/14059)).
+- `[jest-core]` Use workers in watch mode by default to avoid crashes ([#14059](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/14059) & [#14085](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/14085)).
 - `[jest-environment-jsdom, jest-environment-node]` Fix assignment of `customExportConditions` via `testEnvironmentOptions` when custom env subclass defines a default value ([#13989](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/13989))
 - `[jest-matcher-utils]` Fix copying value of inherited getters ([#14007](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/14007))
