Assertion failures throw an assert.AssertionError with Node 24.22's generatedMessage, code, actual, expected, operator and diff properties, in Node's key order. new AssertionError(options) validates its options and builds Node's message from operator, actual and expected. AssertionError type annotations, instanceof and assert.throws(fn, AssertionError) compile. Failure paths record actual, expected and operator before they throw; passing assertions do no extra work. The deep forms lower through a per-type function that returns the verdict, so the operands stay call temporaries. assert.equal and notEqual inspect their operands only when they fail. Values without a checked-dynamic form, and values whose type can be cyclic, record undefined.
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.
