hot-shots, a StatsD client compiled from its JavaScript, failed when a
program constructed a client. Each gap on its UDP path is closed
generically:
- Sloppy-mode functions with named parameters may read `arguments`
where the aliasing of their parameters cannot show: only
`arguments.length`, or element reads without parameter or element
writes.
- An `any` slot admits any boxable function value, including functions
with optional parameters (`C.prototype.m = function (...)` through an
untyped receiver).
- In a JavaScript file TypeScript does not check, a prototype method
takes its documented parameters as checked-dynamic values, as
constructors already did.
- JavaScript dgram sends run completion callbacks, buffer lists,
connected sends and the six-argument offset/length form.
- A dgram socket crosses into the checked-dynamic tree as a handle
(SCR_DYNH_DGRAM_SOCKET) whose methods are function values, with
untyped listeners that survive 'close'. The handle lives in its own
runtime unit (scr_dgram_dyn.c, the dgramDyn feature), linked only
when a program converts a socket to or from an untyped value.
- `String.prototype.concat` on strings, and `parseInt` over a possibly
missing or untyped value in JavaScript.
Corpus programs 6590-6596 and the hot-shots-udp npm
case (hot-shots 8.5.0 vendored) match Node in both lanes.

Each limitations partial held its whole text on one line (map-and-set.mdx
was a single 1,080-character line), so any two edits to the same partial
conflicted. The partials now put one sentence per line, with a bullet's
continuation lines indented two spaces. Markdown joins the lines, so the
rendered pages are unchanged.
scripts/limitations-partials.mjs reads a labeled bullet's indented
continuation lines as part of the bullet when it splits and joins the page,
and AGENTS.md states the convention.
dgram.Socket's setBroadcast, setTTL, setMulticastTTL,
setMulticastLoopback, setMulticastInterface, addMembership,
dropMembership, get/setRecvBufferSize, get/setSendBufferSize,
getSendQueueSize, getSendQueueCount and disconnect were refused at
compile time. They now lower to scr_dgram.c and match Node:
- The TTL setters and setMulticastLoopback return their argument. The
value checks run first: a TTL outside 1-255 (0-255 for multicast,
after ToInt32) throws "setTTL EINVAL" with code, errno and syscall.
- A socket that has not been bound has no descriptor yet, so the
options throw EBADF, and the buffer size methods throw Node's
ERR_SOCKET_BUFFER_SIZE SystemError.
- After close(), the members that read Node's null handle throw its
TypeError ("Cannot read properties of null (reading 'setTTL')"), and
setMulticastInterface and the membership calls throw "Not running".
- Buffer sizes must be uint32 values (ERR_SOCKET_BAD_BUFFER_SIZE), 0
reads the current size, and sizes past the int32 range fail as EINVAL.
- IPv6 interfaces and groups go to the IPv6 socket options, so a udp4
socket answers ENOPROTOOPT as in Node.
- disconnect() throws ERR_SOCKET_DGRAM_NOT_CONNECTED until 'connect' was
emitted, and dissolves the association with an AF_UNSPEC connect.
addMembership and dropMembership before bind() throw SC2020, where
Node binds the socket to an ephemeral port first; the limitations page
documents it, along with the missing info object on the buffer size
SystemError. Corpus 5655 and 5656 and the node-types fixture
dgram-options.ts cover each method.
