node:test changes, matching Node 24.22:
- A describe or suite body may take its SuiteContext, with name,
fullName, filePath, attempt, passed and diagnostic. Its passed is false
until the suite has finished, after its after hooks.
- before and after hooks may take the suite's context, and beforeEach
and afterEach hooks the test's. A test's t.before, t.after,
t.beforeEach and t.afterEach hooks may take the test's context.
- SuiteContext maps to the runner node that TestContext maps to, so the
TestContext members that SuiteContext shares lower the same way.
The suite-context fixture compares the reporter output and the order of
the bodies and hooks with Node, plain and with SCRIPTC_SAN=1.
`m?.groups?.year` compiles on exec and match results, including a null
match, where the read was refused before. The matchAll row callbacks also
cover findIndex and findLastIndex.
Reshaping an index-signature record into another index-signature type
keeps the source's null prototype, since the two are one object in
JavaScript. A match's groups read through `m?.groups`, or assigned to a
declared type such as `{ [k: string]: string } | undefined`, now prints
"[Object: null prototype]" as in Node, where it printed a plain object.
node:test changes, matching Node 24.22:
- t.filePath is the entry file's path, as Node's entryFile, fixed when the
program is compiled.
- t.attempt is 0, since a test runs once.
- t.passed is false while the body runs and the test's outcome once the
body ends, so afterEach and t.after hooks see it, as Node's pass() and
fail() set it before them.
- t.workerId is Number(process.env.NODE_TEST_WORKER_ID) || undefined.
- t.tags is [], since the tags option has no lowering.
- A test's t.before, t.after, t.beforeEach and t.afterEach hooks are
released when the test ends. Hooks whose closures capture the test's
context no longer keep it alive in a cycle, which the SCRIPTC_SAN=1
audit reported as live closures at exit.
The ctx-members fixture compares the reporter output with Node, plain and
with SCRIPTC_SAN=1.
promisify(crypto.randomBytes), pbkdf2, scrypt, hkdf, randomFill, randomInt
and generateKey, and promisify(dns.lookup) and dns.lookupService, over a
named or namespace import, now lower. A call through the binding runs the
callback form with a runtime callback that settles the returned promise
where the callback would run: fulfilled with the callback's value, or
rejected with its error. An argument error the callback form throws rejects
the promise instead, as the throw inside Node's promisify wrapper does.
The crypto promise's value follows the declared result type: a Buffer,
the filled view (the same object), a number, or a checked-dynamic value
where @types/node declares unknown (scrypt, randomFill, randomInt) and for
ArrayBuffer and KeyObject results. The runtime adds a callback closure that
owns the promise and settle adapters for each representation, next to the
existing callback forms in scr_crypto_async.c.
dns.lookup's promise fulfills with { address, family }, or the address
array with options.all, and lookupService's with { hostname, service }, as
Node's custom promisified forms do. The runtime builds the checked-dynamic
result; a declared record type is reached through an async helper that
awaits it and checks the value. The type mapper maps the promisified
lookupService result literal like the promisified exec result.
The fallback declarations gain the matching util.promisify overloads.
A TypeScript subclass of Error that declared `cause` was refused with SC1090,
although the same field in a JavaScript class already compiled. The
declaration now lowers like the JavaScript field: it defines the error's own
enumerable `cause` after super() returns, undefined without an initializer,
replacing a cause passed through the options exactly as Node does. `declare`
and `abstract` declarations are erased and define nothing.
Reads of `.cause` on Error-rooted classes are always the checked-dynamic
property, so only declarations typed `unknown` or `object` are accepted.
Other declared types, parameter properties and accessors named `cause` keep
named refusals. This unblocks the source of @openfeature/core, whose
abstract error base declares `cause?: unknown`.

exec(command, callback) and exec(command, { encoding, maxBuffer },
callback) lower like execFile's callback slice. The command line runs
with /bin/sh -c, as execSync runs it, the call returns the live
ChildProcess, and the error-first callback receives the captured utf8
stdout and stderr. A non-zero exit, including the shell's 127 for a
missing command, reports Node's "Command failed: <command>\n<stderr>":
scr_exec_file takes a shell flag so the message shows the command line.
Under @types/node, child_process.ExecException maps to Error, as
ExecFileException does. Its code member is the child's numeric exit
status, which the runtime error's string code slot does not hold, so
reading it, testing it with `in`, or testing its typeof is a named
refusal.
A require cycle was always refused (SC1016). Node answers a require of a
module that is still evaluating with its exports as they stand, while the
compiled bindings alias the final declarations; the two agree when every
module of the cycle assigns all of its exports before its first statement
that can run another module's code, every other use of its export object
is a plain member read, and no module's top-level code can reach its
binding of another member. Each module then initializes exactly as it
would outside the cycle. This admits semver's comparator/range cycle
("hoisted class for cyclic dependency"); other cycles keep SC1016 with a
reason naming the offending statement.
The require reachability scan no longer treats a declaration's own name
as a read (esbuild's `var X = class {...}` before its requires), treats a
plain write of an export member as running only a setter published for it
(on-finished's `module.exports.isFinished = isFinished`), and keeps the
conservative scan for writes of __proto__, __esModule and members of a
replaced export object.
Evidence: corpus 6145 (the cycle), 6142 gains the esbuild layout; the
npm-static harness compiles the published fs.realpath@1.0.0,
on-finished@2.4.1 (with ee-first@1.1.1) and statuses@2.0.1 statically;
program.test.ts pins the TDZ analysis through var bindings plus the cycle
admission and refusals. Preflight/order baselines recorded for the new
fixtures; a full re-record changed no other fixture. Dependencies and
limitations docs describe the supported require forms.

Resolve the scr_resume_fiber conflict with stackless async coroutines
(#1204): the region the fiber carries is made current before either
resume path and restored after both. scr_async_spawn_stackless now
captures the spawning region like the fiber spawns, so stackless bodies
(every async body in 5013 and 5023 after the merge) keep allocating in
their region after an await and keep it alive while they exist.
5024-lifetime-region-await-forms pins regions carried by stackless and
fiber (for await) bodies that spawn and await each other.

superCallStmt asserted the class base before checking for a callable
base. A class that extends an ordinary function constructor has no base
class info, so the assertion held null. Node ignores the unused value;
the native compiler throws the TypeError of a non-null assertion that
held null, and failed to compile programs with such classes (for example
the Effect stream fixtures). The base is now read after that case
returns.
Reads of defaultMaxListeners through an ES module namespace import or a
named import answer the namespace's copy of the export, which keeps its
value from program start until module.syncBuiltinESMExports() refreshes it,
as in Node. The default import, the EventEmitter class and CommonJS module
bindings keep reading the current default. A destructured CommonJS binding
of defaultMaxListeners, which held a placeholder string in JavaScript
files, is refused.
A TypeScript Date placed in an `unknown` slot (an annotated binding, an
object or array literal, a record or class field) becomes a Date holding
the same time value. Before, a Date member of an `unknown` object literal
became a function, and other conversions were refused. util.inspect prints
these Dates in their ISO form or as Invalid Date, and their methods can be
read as values through untyped references. Comparisons with a Date operand
keep their fence: each conversion creates a new Date.
node:test changes, matching Node 24.22:
- t.assert.snapshot(value[, options]) serializes the value with Node's
default serializer, JSON.stringify(value, null, 2), or with an
options.serializers array literal applied in order, and compares it
with assert.strictEqual against the snapshot stored under
"<test full name> <n>" in "<entry file>.snapshot".
- t.assert.fileSnapshot(value, path[, options]) compares the serialized
value with the contents of path.
- Snapshot files are read in the form Node writes them, exports[`key`] =
`value`; statements, with template escapes and CRLF line endings
cooked as in a template literal.
- Missing snapshots, unreadable snapshot files and throwing serializers
throw Node's ERR_INVALID_STATE errors, with Node's messages.
- Running the binary with Node's --test-update-snapshots flag as its
first argument records the values and writes the snapshot files after
the last test, keys sorted as Node sorts them. The flag is kept out of
process.argv and appears in process.execArgv, which is otherwise [].
- Snapshot assertions count toward the test's plan.
The snapshot fixture compares the reporter output with Node, plain and
with SCRIPTC_SAN=1, against a snapshot file Node wrote. The update-mode
harness test runs Node and the binary with --test-update-snapshots and
compares the files they write. The node:test normalization also drops
the "... N lines matching cause stack trace ..." line Node prints for an
error cause, with the stack frames it summarizes.
On Linux, a worker thread that exits without having made any object it
allocated reachable from another thread gives back all of its memory: the
pages it carved, including ProgramLifetime instances and other objects it
never freed, and the system blocks it still holds. The memory goes back
once no other worker thread is running, so that returning it does not slow
the workers that are still running.
A worker carves past each slice's frontier while the arena's free lists and
returned regions are set aside, takes from those free lists only once a
slice has no bump room left, and records the system blocks it allocates.
Messages and intern tables that share published graphs by pointer, and the
process-wide key arrays of typed records, mark the thread as sharing; so
does a remote free of one of its blocks. A worker that did not share parks
with its arena claimed and its discard queued: returning pages makes the
kernel interrupt every running thread of the process to flush its TLB, and
glibc's trim locks the arenas other threads allocate from. The last worker
to park starts one helper that returns each queued worker's pages, frees
its system blocks, and restores its arena to its state at the claim, with
the free blocks the worker took free again. A thread that finds every arena
claimed runs the queued discards itself. A worker that shared keeps its
memory as before.
SCR_SA_DISCARD=0 keeps every worker's memory; SCR_SA_DISCARD=poison makes
the discarded pages inaccessible instead, for tests.
markAsUncloneable(value) marks a plain object, a record, an error or a
class instance (scr_json.c); structuredClone and postMessage then throw
DataCloneError "Cannot clone object of unsupported type." for it, also
where it is nested. As in Node, the mark has no effect on primitives,
arrays, typed arrays and ArrayBuffers. Marked values are retained until
the thread exits; with nothing marked, the clone paths add one branch.
worker[Symbol.asyncDispose]() terminates the worker and resolves with
undefined after its 'exit' event, so `await using` disposes a Worker at
the end of its block. The Worker handle's symbol_get op answers the
well-known symbol: the symbol unit registers Symbol.asyncDispose with the
dyn core when the program names it, and scr_dyn_is_async_dispose_symbol
tells the worker unit, so worker programs that never name the symbol do
not link the symbol unit.
static-support.json adds rows for markAsUncloneable, isInternalThread
(already lowered as false and declared) and worker[Symbol.asyncDispose]().
Corpus 5990-5991 match Node v24.22.0; corpus-costs.json records their
costs.
Regex literals and new RegExp calls accept the v (unicode sets) flag, which
the vendored engine implements: class subtraction and intersection, nested
classes, \q{...} string literals and properties of strings. The flag uses
unicode mode for pattern decoding and string iteration, and flags read in
getter order (dgimsuvy). Regex literals now also report their flags in
getter order, as Node does for /x/yg, and the flag getters (global,
unicodeSets and the rest) compile on statically typed regexes.
In v mode the engine rejected `-` and doubled punctuation outside a
character class, and the `\-` escape inside \q{...}. It now applies the
class-only checks inside classes and \q{...} only, and parses \q{...}
contents with the class escapes, matching Node. The d flag is still
refused.
On Linux, a worker thread that exits without having made any object it
allocated reachable from another thread gives back all of its memory: the
pages it carved, including ProgramLifetime instances and other objects it

Messages and intern tables that share published graphs by pointer, and the
process-wide key arrays of typed records, mark the thread as sharing; so
does a remote free of one of its blocks. When a worker that did not share
parks, the trim helper returns its pages, frees its system blocks, and
restores the arena to its state at the claim, with the free blocks the
worker took free again. A worker that shared keeps its memory as before.
SCR_SA_DISCARD=0 keeps every worker's memory; SCR_SA_DISCARD=poison makes
the discarded pages inaccessible instead, for tests.
