A member export resolves to its binding only when the binding is declared
before the write and never reassigned, so a consumer reads the value the
member stored. A module that re-exports another module's exports through
module.exports = require("./x") now counts its own writes after the
re-exported module's: a member it adds resolves, and a member both modules
write stays refused. The exports rebinding refusal and its test now cover
the form that stays refused, exports = value without module.exports.
A package that exports a constructor function whole and also as a named member (`exports = module.exports = Client; exports.StatsD = Client`, the statsd-client shape) could not be constructed from TypeScript: `new StatsD(...)` was refused as "constructing values other than classes declared in the program", and a bare reference had "no lowering".
- `exports = module.exports = value` is now the module's whole export, and it rebinds `exports` too, so members attached through `exports` afterwards are exported. The fresh-table reset `exports = module.exports = {}` keeps its own handling.
- An `import { name }` or a top-level `const { name } = require(...)` of a member written once as `exports.<name> = <binding or primitive literal>` on such a module reads that value, following `module.exports = require("./x")` re-exports. The checker gives these bindings a synthesized property symbol, so the module's statements answer.
- Construction then takes the existing checked path for JavaScript functions: prototype methods, `util.inherits` between two constructor functions, and `Parent.call(this, ...)` behave as in Node.

A thrown array reached its catch binding as a type-erased native array:
`console.log(e)` printed `{}` where Node prints the array, `String(e)`
gave "[object Object]", `Array.isArray(e)` was false and a typed view
such as `(e as number[]).length` threw a TypeError. Thrown records
already crossed the catch boundary as checked-dynamic values that keep
their identity; arrays, and unions over records and arrays, now take the
same conversion, so the catch binding is the thrown object.
node:test printed a failing test's thrown non-Error value with String():
`throw { code: 42 }` reported `[object Object]` where Node prints the
value as util.inspect renders it. The failing-tests section now inspects
thrown numbers, booleans and checked-dynamic values (records, arrays,
null and undefined); a thrown string is quoted as before. A thrown class
instance that is not an Error still prints `[object Object]` (the
limitations page says so).
Adds corpus 6341, extends the thrown-values node:test fixture, and
records 6341's cost.
lower-exprs.ts had grown to 17.1k lines, and its import block and the big
branches of lowerExprInner were edited by about half of all changes to
it, so concurrent changes conflicted there. Its declarations move, as is,
into files under frontend/lowering/expressions/: identifiers,
property-access, typeof, element-access, binary, relational, narrowing,
updates and array-literals. lowerExprInner's identifier, property-access
and typeof branches become functions of their own in those files, called
from the branch. Helpers move with their only users; helpers shared
across files stay in lower-exprs.ts, which re-exports every moved name it
exported, so other modules' imports are unchanged.
The move changes no behavior: the zero-cost gate compiles the benchmarks,
the self-hosted compiler and the corpus to identical IR, LLVM and
executables.
ScrDynHandleTag listed its tags by name with explicit values, so two
changes that each took the next free value merged without a conflict and
produced two tags with one value; only dyn-handle-tags.test.ts noticed.
#1397 (CRYPTO_KEY) and #1259 (ASYNC_DISPOSABLE_STACK) both took 56.
SCR_DYNH_TAGS is now the one list of tags: X(NAME, value) rows, sorted
by name, generate the enum, a _Static_assert per tag that the value is
below SCR_DYNH_CAPACITY, and scr_dynh_tags_distinct, a never-called
switch with a case per tag. Two tags with one value are a duplicate case
value, so every runtime unit that includes scr_dyn.h fails to compile and
names both tags. The values, the names and the generated code are
unchanged. dyn-handle-tags.test.ts reads the rows.
#1399 removed CheckerFacade.declarationsOf and valueDeclarationOf. #1407 and
#1351 merged after it with calls to them, so main does not type-check. Read
symbol.declarations and symbol.valueDeclaration instead, as the rest of the
compiler does.
A construction through a plain function stamps the prototype with the
name of the function in its `constructor` property, for util.inspect.
The stamp pointed at the function's name. A bound function's name
("bound " and the target's name) is a string the bound function owns,
so after the `constructor` property was replaced and the bound function
released, inspecting an instance read freed memory. The stamp now holds
a copy of the name, freed with the stamp at exit.
The corpus program constructs through functions whose prototype's
`constructor` is a bound function (and a bound function of one), then
replaces the property and inspects the instances.
Relational string operators (`<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`) compared the UTF-8
bytes, which is code-point order. Node compares UTF-16 code units, so the
results differed for characters above U+FFFF against U+E000..U+FFFF and
for lone surrogates against surrogate pairs. The default `sort()`
comparator, `util.inspect` with `sorted: true` and dynamic comparisons
already used UTF-16 order; the default comparator of a dynamic array's
`sort()` did not.
Typed comparisons and the dynamic array sort now use `scr_str_cmp_u16`,
and the IR's `strCmp` node no longer has a `utf16` flag. The two orders
agree unless both of the first differing bytes are at least 0xED, so:
- the inline wrapper decides differing first words, or last words of
equal lengths up to 16 bytes, in byte order when neither word has a
byte of at least 0xED (a SWAR test). Other differing words, and the
first bytes of shorter strings, decide by their first differing byte:
in byte order when one of the two is below 0xED, and by plane when both
are lead bytes from 0xEE to 0xF4 (a supplementary character orders
below U+E000..U+FFFF);
- otherwise a proven-ASCII string on either side compares with `memcmp`
(`scr_str_cmp`), and other pairs call `scr_str_cmp_u16_bytes`. It finds
the first differing byte with words up to byte 32, then with 32-byte
SSE2 or NEON blocks where the target has them. The call is marked as
only reading its arguments, so repeated comparisons of one pair merge.
- `scr_str_cmp_u16` itself takes the same `memcmp` path for proven-ASCII
strings.
The native compiler sorts record fields with `<` and checks the order
with `sort()`, so it reported SC9001 for 5888-inspect-sorted.ts, whose
object has the keys "\u{1F600}" and "\uffff". 5888 runs in the
native-frontend self-host check. Adds corpus 6023.
`globalThis as { [KEY]?: State }` is the usual way for several modules
to share process-wide state. globalThis lowers to a checked-dynamic
value, and asserting a checked-dynamic value to a record or array type
took the checked conversion, which builds a new native value. A write
through the asserted value went to that copy, so other modules never
saw it; string-keyed and index-signature views threw "expected object".
- An assertion of the global object (globalThis, global, also through
`as unknown as`) keeps the checked-dynamic value when the conversion
would copy, so member reads and writes reach the global object.
- File-scope and local bindings of such an assertion hold the global
object (collectGlobals, lowerVarDecl), so an exported
`const state = globalThis as ...` works across modules.
- The divergence scan no longer reports these assertions as SC6001
width copies.
- Runtime: one global-object box per thread (scr_global_object), which
globalThis, global and globalThis.globalThis all answer, and direct
`globalThis[symbol]` accesses use that box's symbol-keyed properties,
so every spelling of the global object sees one property.
Other checked-dynamic values keep the checked conversion: a native
value held as unknown unwraps by identity there, and a checked-dynamic
tree is copied at the documented boundary.

In a generic function, `node instanceof Identifier || node instanceof
PrivateIdentifier` narrows `node` to `T & PrivateIdentifier` when
Identifier has every member PrivateIdentifier has: TypeScript reduces the
union of the two intersections by structural subtyping. The read was
lowered as a downcast to PrivateIdentifier, and the narrowing guard
aborted when it held an Identifier. tsc-ts's NodeFactory.cloneNode has
this pattern, so declaration emit aborted.
When the checker types a read of a type-parameter intersection as a
subclass, and another class under the value's class is assignable to that
subclass without extending it, the read is now a class union over those
classes, and member reads and method calls on it dispatch over the union.
When this instantiation's class is unrelated to the narrowed class but
assignable to it (`T = Identifier`), member calls use the instantiation's
class. A union method helper whose body lowering is refused is no longer
left registered without a body.
paramShapes, which builds the parameters of an instantiated signature
(generic call instances and the erased instance that a method value or
a reflected prototype slot uses), refused an optional parameter unless
its type had an undefined union arm. An interface view implemented by a
class (`handle?: Handle | null`) and an erased type parameter map to the
checked-dynamic type, which holds undefined directly; paramShape, the
declared-signature path, already accepts it.
Direct calls of such a method failed with "optional parameters of type
'unknown'", and reflecting its class prototype from the dynamic-dispatch
fixpoint raised the same refusal outside any statement and crashed the
compiler with an uncaught PoisonError. paramShapes now treats the
parameter as omittable, so the instance lowers.

The native CLI built from main aborted on the record-boundaries and
value-objects benchmarks with "a narrowed value does not have the type its
narrowing proved". record-results.ts builds recordSet statements in a map
callback whose value field is a recordGet literal. Converting that array
into IrStmt[] chose the break/continue arm: the literal also fits the
shorter varRef-like expression arms, so its conversion into IrExpr was
ambiguous, and an ambiguous field conversion made widthLiftPlan drop every
arm that needed it. The one arm left was break/continue, reached by
dropping obj, shapeId, field and value. The record kept kind "recordSet"
under the break/continue tag, so mapStmtChildren's narrowing guard aborted.
IR record shapes keep the discriminant as a plain string, so a record's
layout alone cannot pick its arm. When a record that carries a
discriminated union's discriminant field fits several arms, widthLiftPlan
now plans a route through every arm it converts into, selected at run time
by the discriminant's value, as JavaScript does (a value no arm names
throws the catchable TypeError). Conversions that resolved before are
unchanged; the zero-cost gate shows identical IR, LLVM and executables for
the benchmarks and the corpus, and the native CLI now compiles every
benchmark workload.
The test used `const { length } = [1, 2] as number[]` as its coverage
blocker. That compiles now, so no diagnostic was left to replay. The blocker
destructures a `number[] | string` union instead, which keeps the SC1031
object-pattern fence. The comment-only replay and code-edit relower
assertions are unchanged.

jose 6.2.12 now compiles natively through its root entry (`import { jwtVerify,
errors } from "jose"`), from TypeScript and JavaScript, with chained SignJWT
builders and string durations:
- A discarded `a && b;` / `a || b;` statement whose value form fails on its own
result type (jose's secs(): `(!m || m[4] && m[1]) && invalid()`) lowers as
`if (a) b;` / `if (!a) b;`. The value form still lowers first, so statements
that compiled before are unchanged.
- In JavaScript, a number-keyed read on a `T[] | null | undefined` value outside
an optional chain (`m[2]` after a statement ruled `m` non-null) reads the
array arm like any element read: a group that did not participate is
undefined instead of a trap.
- A JavaScript fluent method whose returns all end in `this` (including comma
sequences) narrows a used call result back to the receiver's subclass. A
receiver lowered at an ancestor of the class a call needs is bridged with a
verified downcast instead of an upcast the validator rejected (the
"upcast JWTClaimsBuilder does not extend SignJWT" internal error).
- `typeof navigator` is "object" and `navigator.userAgent` is "Node.js/24", as
in Node 24, for the free name in JavaScript and under @types/node. Both fold
to literals; other members refuse by name.
- TypeScript object destructuring of an `any` result of a JavaScript function
(jose's jwtVerify) reads its members like the member reads that already
compiled.

tests/coverage-fixtures/mixed.ts used `const { length: firstItem } = items`
as its SC1031 example. Object patterns of positions and length over arrays
compile now, so coverage counted 13/13 static. The example now destructures
a union source (array | string), which keeps the SC1031 object-pattern fence
at the same line and column; only the message's source kind changes, from
array-typed to union-typed.
