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.
Node compatibility ledger
This workspace package owns scriptc's Node.js parity system.
node-v24.jsonpins the Node release tag, commit, and canonical docs/source inputs.static-support.jsonoverlays dedicated compiler paths and their internal test evidence on the compiler's generated surface manifest.generated/node-v24-internal.jsonis the engineering ledger, including implementation evidence and repository test paths.generated/node-v24-backlog.jsonis the internal tier-specific work queue. It separates verification, implementation, explicit-refusal replacement, and partial-surface audit work, and prioritizes stable Node APIs above experimental, deprecated, and legacy APIs.docs/src/generated/node-v24-compatibility.jsonis the stripped public artifact consumed by the docs website. It contains compiler-relevant runtime APIs, statuses, verification bases, and user-facing details; documentation, metadata, command-line/configuration entries, and rows that are N/A for native execution remain internal.
Statuses are evidence-aware: supported and partial require test evidence; refused requires an explicit compiler diagnostic or native throwing stub; not-implemented is the actionable backlog for an owned API family with no implementation match; by-design records an architectural exclusion; unreviewed still needs classification; and not-applicable is not a runtime API for that execution tier.
Run pnpm node-compat:backlog from the repository root for a summary. The filters --tier, --action, --priority, --chapter, and --status compose; use --format=json or --format=tsv for tooling.
Run pnpm node-compat from the repository root after changing the Node pin or the support manifest. pnpm node-compat:check is the offline drift/evidence gate; pnpm --filter @internal/compatibility check:upstream additionally verifies the pinned upstream inputs over the network.
