node errors: mark in ErrorCode.ts the errors that print no [code] bracket in Node - #39280
Under --unhandled-rejections=strict|throw, String(err) is UnhandledPromiseRejection [ERR_UNHANDLED_REJECTION]: .... Node prints no bracket, and test-promise-unhandled-default.js asserts that.
AbortError [ABORT_ERR], Error [HPE_INVALID_METHOD] and errors that Node makes in C++ have it too.
Cause: createPrototype (src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.cpp) gives every row of ErrorCode.ts the function NodeError_proto_toString.
Fix
ErrorCode.ts marks a row with plain(). The generator emits a bool per row, and createPrototype reads it. 50 of 349 entries inherit Error.prototype.toString.
Correct: only Node's NodeError classes define name [code]: message. The test runs a producer of each marked row in Bun and Node.
The same change on main alone is 1b00b6b32f, on the branch robobun/67b3ca1b/error-table-tostring-on-main, for the case that it has to go first.
The first commit has the mechanism and the rows that a test of Node or a report stands behind. The second commit has the 27 rows of native code, and changes three files.
Repro
// bun --unhandled-rejections=strict repro.jsprocess.on("uncaughtException",e=>console.log(String(e).slice(0,70),e.toString===Error.prototype.toString));Promise.reject(1);// node 26.3.0: UnhandledPromiseRejection: This error originated either by throwing in true// main: UnhandledPromiseRejection [ERR_UNHANDLED_REJECTION]: This error origin false
Node's assertion is assert.strictEqual(err.toString(), knownError.toString()) in test-promise-unhandled-default.js. knownError is a plain Error with that name and code. The vendored copy gave knownError a bracketed toString when typeof Bun !== "undefined". That line and its comment are gone. The file now differs from Node's only by the // Flags: header.
Which rows inherit Error.prototype.toString
19 rows without the ERR_ prefix: ABORT_ERR, MODULE_NOT_FOUND, 17 HPE_*. The generator derives these. Node registers 298 codes for makeNodeErrorWithCode, and all start with ERR_.
30 rows that Node makes only in native code, where the factory is v8::Exception::TypeError(message) plus a code (node_errors.h): ERR_CLOSED_MESSAGE_PORT, ERR_CONSTRUCT_CALL_INVALID, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_AUTH_TAG, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_CURVE, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_DIGEST, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_IV, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_JWK, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_KEYLEN, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_KEYPAIR, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_KEYTYPE, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_SCRYPT_PARAMS, ERR_CRYPTO_JWK_UNSUPPORTED_CURVE, ERR_CRYPTO_JWK_UNSUPPORTED_KEY_TYPE, ERR_CRYPTO_TIMING_SAFE_EQUAL_LENGTH, ERR_CRYPTO_UNKNOWN_CIPHER, ERR_CRYPTO_UNKNOWN_DH_GROUP, ERR_CRYPTO_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION, ERR_DLOPEN_DISABLED, ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED, ERR_INVALID_OBJECT_DEFINE_PROPERTY, ERR_LOAD_SQLITE_EXTENSION, ERR_MISSING_PASSPHRASE, ERR_OSSL_EVP_INVALID_DIGEST, ERR_SCRIPT_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT, ERR_SQLITE_ERROR, ERR_SSL_NO_CIPHER_MATCH, ERR_STRING_TOO_LONG, ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_METHOD, ERR_VM_MODULE_CACHED_DATA_REJECTED, ERR_ZLIB_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.
The rule for a mark is an observation, not a list: a producer of the row throws, in Node, an error whose toString is Error.prototype.toString, and the fixture has that producer. test/js/node/errors/error-code-toString-fixture.cjs has one producer for each of the 31 marked rows, and a test fails when a marked row has none. The test runs the fixture in Bun, and in Node when the machine has v26.3.0 or later. Both print the same lines, one for each row. The producer of ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED is a child without --no-addons. Node v26.3.0, v26.12.1 and v26.13.0 were run here.
The producer of ERR_STRING_TOO_LONG is Buffer.allocUnsafe(MAX_STRING_LENGTH + 1).toString(), the call of Node's test-buffer-tostring-rangeerror.js. Bun refuses the length before it reads the 2 GiB buffer: the peak RSS of the process grows by 14 MiB or less on a debug build with ASAN, and by 2 MiB on a release build. Node copies its 512 MiB before V8 refuses the length: +513 MiB of peak RSS and about 0.3 s, in the Node run only. On a host with less than 4 GiB of memory the test leaves this row out of both runs (d6c6f6f): such a host can refuse the 2 GiB, and test/js/node/buffer.test.js skips the same reservation there.
Node registers ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_DIGEST and ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_JWK in lib/internal/errors.js, but no module of its lib/ makes either. ERR_MISSING_PASSPHRASE needs an encrypted key in DER: for one in PEM, OpenSSL 3 reports an error of its own.
Rows that keep the bracket
The codes that Node throws from JavaScript and from C++ (ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE, ERR_INVALID_STATE, ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE and others). Node decides at the throw site, and a mark decides for a code. Most of the [code] text that Node does not print is here, and stays. A plain entry beside the bracketed one of such a code is possible (the table already gives one code several entries), and is a change for a maintainer to ask for.
ERR_CRYPTO_OPERATION_FAILED and ERR_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_FAILED: Node's are plain. No test can make either on purpose: a failed scrypt, a detached buffer under randomFill, a failed allocation.
ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_MESSAGELEN: its producer needs a CCM cipher, and Bun has none, so no test can make it.
ERR_HTTP2_ERROR and ERR_HTTP2_TOO_MANY_INVALID_FRAMES: Node's NghttpError defines the bracketed toString.
The codes that only Bun has (ERR_POSTGRES_*, ERR_MYSQL_*, ERR_REDIS_*, ERR_S3_*, ERR_SECRETS_*, ERR_BORINGSSL, ERR_ZSTD and others).
A new ERR_ row gets the bracket unless it is made with plain().
The opposite difference exists too, and is not touched here: some errors that src/js builds by hand, with new Error and an assigned code, print no [code] where Node prints one. Two examples: child.kill("NOPE") and net.createServer().listen({}).
Bun APIs that make an ABORT_ERR error change too: Bun.spawn and Bun.spawnSync with an aborted signal.
Three more of the marked codes are also made by APIs that only Bun has, and those errors change with the row. One code has one prototype object, so a mark decides for every producer of the code. Seen on this branch: the global crypto.timingSafeEqual with two lengths (RangeError: Input buffers must have the same byte length), new Bun.WebView() when Chrome does not start (Error: Failed to spawn Chrome ...), and Blob.text(), Blob.json() and Response.text() over the string limit (Error: Cannot create a string longer than 2147483647 characters). Each had [code] before. bun:ffidlopen() makes its ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED error by hand, and does not change.
MODULE_NOT_FOUND is an error of this table only in an executable of bun build --compile --aot. There a refused require() now reads Error: Cannot load ..., not Error [MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot load .... import() has the code ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND and keeps its bracket, as in Node.
err.name, err.code, err.message, err.stack and the fatal print of an uncaught error do not change.
AOT
The table of built-ins (private-globals.builtins.ts) says the toString of an error with a code is either NodeError_proto_toString or Error.prototype.toString: the rows of $makeErrorWithCode stand for marked and unmarked codes alike, as they also list reason and library, which one code has. The row of $makeAbortError no longer lists toString. The generated aot_builtin_table.json names both functions in that member.
Two programs were run through test/aot/run-parallel.ts on a release build, also with --checks-at-run-time: an AbortError of events.on(), tls.createSecureContext({ secureProtocol: "nope" }) and tls.createServer({ ciphers: "nope" }) print what plain Bun prints, also after the program replaces Error.prototype.toString with a function that returns a number. This PR adds no program under test/aot, which AOT: front end, test runs and tests for the rewritten compiler #47942 rewrites.
makeErrorWithCode has 7 overloads and makeAbortError 2, as before. The Rust tables and not-checked.txt do not change.
Measurements
Release builds of #41737's head (caf19d4) and of this PR, linux x64. This container has no perf, valgrind, bloaty or strace. Instructions are user-mode instructions from a perf_event_open counter around the process, with BUN_JSC_useConcurrentJIT=0. Each number is the slope between a loop of 1,000,000 and of 3,000,000 turns, as the mean of 10 interleaved runs (lowest to highest).
The new bool is read where the prototype of a code is made: once for each code in a realm. An error of a code that already has its prototype reads nothing new.
First error of a marked code in a realm (ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_AUTH_TAG, ABORT_ERR): +0 JSFunction cells (before: +1), and the prototype holds name (before: name,toString). A NodeError (ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE): +2 in both. 5 runs each, all equal.
The table errors is 13,960 bytes in both builds (349 × 40): the bool lies in the padding beside ownName. ErrorCode+List.h, ErrorCode.generated.rs and ErrorCode.d.ts are byte-identical.
Binary (size -A): .text +256 bytes (ErrorCodeCache::createInstance 2,538 → 2,634). .rodata, .data.rel.ro, .data, .bss and .bun_builtins have the same sizes. The stripped file has the same size.
Suites
test/js/node/errors/ (72 tests) and test-promise-unhandled-default.js pass on a debug build with ASAN. On a build of node errors: put an own enumerable code on ERR_* errors in one ErrorCodeCache factory #41737's head the new tests fail 9 of 12. The three others are the NodeError control, the run of the fixture in Node, which holds the marks and not Bun, and the test that reads the marks from ErrorCode.ts.
Each clause has a test that fails without it (checked on the main-based build): without the prefix rule the three ABORT_ERR tests and the HPE_* test fail, and without a mark the line of that row fails.
The 157 vendored Node tests that name one of these codes pass, run as CI runs them.
223 test files (those that name one of these codes, all of test/js/node/{crypto,tls,vm,zlib,sqlite,worker_threads,util,events,timers,process}, test/js/web/abort, test/js/bun/util, and child_process-node.test.js), five files at once on a debug build: no failure is in a test of these errors. The failures are time limits, tests of the network and memory thresholds. Those that were run again alone pass, or fail the same way on a debug build of main.
Release build: test/aot/builtins/ and the-table-of-built-ins-lists-the-own-names-of-what-its-rows-make.test.ts, 6,608 pass (differential.test.ts is 6,560 of them). classes-with-inspect-method.test.ts fails when the ten files share one process, on node errors: put an own enumerable code on ERR_* errors in one ErrorCodeCache factory #41737's head too, and passes in a process of its own.
bun fmt and clang-format change nothing. test/internal/source-lints (194 tests) passed on the build of this change on main.
Self-review
26 concerns were raised. 24 are addressed: the branch is rebuilt on #41737, three rows are added after a run of Node (ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_DIGEST, ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_JWK, ERR_MISSING_PASSPHRASE), the test runs the fixture in Node, the mark and the test hook for the dead row ERR_STREAM_RELEASE_LOCK are gone, the HPE_* test fails at once when no clientError comes, the two programs under test/aot are gone, and this text names what stays.
Two are not done:
A test.failing case for each row that keeps its bracket. Such a case states an end state, and for those rows the end state is a maintainer's call. The list above has them.
A clause on String(err) in .claude/docs/landing-prs.md. The rule is in one line at plain(), above the table, where a row is added.
Review on the PR
Three rows were added after a run of Node: ERR_CRYPTO_TIMING_SAFE_EQUAL_LENGTH, ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED, ERR_STRING_TOO_LONG. The fixture has a producer for each (ce9cf9e for the last). The table of built-ins now names both toString functions for an error with a code, where it named the bracketed one for every row.
Not added: ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_MESSAGELEN (no CCM cipher in Bun), ERR_CRYPTO_OPERATION_FAILED and ERR_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_FAILED (no producer a test can run), ERR_INVALID_MODULE (Bun makes it by hand in internal/test/binding.ts, not from the table).
History
Until this rework the PR was one condition in createErrorPrototype (94c610d): no toString for a code without the ERR_ prefix. That rule is now the default in the generator. It did not reach ERR_UNHANDLED_REJECTION or the codes that Node makes in native code. Its tests are part of error-code-toString-receiver.test.ts.
no test proof · iteration 2 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/node/child_process/child_process-node.test.js
createErrorPrototype installed the `name [code]: message` toString() on the
prototype of every code in ErrorCode.ts. In Node that override only exists on
the ERR_* errors from lib/internal/errors.js; AbortError (ABORT_ERR) and the
HPE_* parser errors are plain Errors with a code property, so they stringify
as "AbortError: The operation was aborted" and "Error: Parse Error: ...".
Install the override only for codes starting with ERR_.

Summary
Error metadata and generated records src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.ts, src/codegen/generate-node-errors.ts
Error-code mappings now mark selected codes as plain and identify selected filesystem-copy codes as SystemError. The generator emits own-name and stringification metadata for the error table.
Cached error construction and formatting src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.h, src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.cpp, src/codegen/builtins/host/private-globals.builtins.ts, src/js/internal/fs/cp-sync.ts, bench/snippets/node-error-code.mjs
The cache creates coded errors with own properties and conditionally installs Node-style toString. Filesystem-copy errors no longer receive an assigned SystemError name. The benchmark compares plain and coded error paths.
Spawn handling adds syscall only when an error has both a defined code and an own errno. Tests cover platform-specific spawn errors and option-validation errors.
Tests cover NodeError, SystemError, and inherited Error.prototype.toString behavior across several error sources. The unhandled-rejection test now uses the default formatter.

LGTM — a one-conditional gate on a well-understood prototype-construction path, with tests that pin both directions.
What was reviewed
Enumerated every non-ERR_ entry in ErrorCode.ts (ABORT_ERR, MODULE_NOT_FOUND, 15 HPE_*) — all are plain Error-with-code in Node, so the startsWith("ERR_") gate covers exactly the right set.
Grepped src/ and test/ for [ABORT_ERR] / [HPE_ / [MODULE_NOT_FOUND] — nothing depends on the old bracketed form.
Test: hermetic (port: 0, loopback, await using — an existing pattern in the suite), covers JS-created and native-created AbortErrors plus an ERR_* control, and asserts the strong invariant err.toString === Error.prototype.toString.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR changes one line in src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.cpp: createErrorPrototype now installs the Node-style name [code]: messagetoString override only when code starts with "ERR_". All other codes fall through to the inherited Error.prototype.toString. A new test file exercises ABORT_ERR (via timers/promises, events.once, and native fs.promises.readFile), HPE_INVALID_METHOD (via node:httpclientError), and keeps ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE / ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE as controls that must still stringify with the bracket.
Security risks
None. The change is a string-prefix check on a compile-time ASCIILiteral from the generated ErrorCode.ts table; no user input, no allocation, no memory-safety surface. The test uses a loopback node:http server on port: 0 and cleans up with await using.
Level of scrutiny
Low-to-medium. The mechanism is simple and the blast radius is bounded: I enumerated every entry in ErrorCode.ts and the only codes that lose the override are ABORT_ERR, MODULE_NOT_FOUND, and the HPE_* family — exactly the ones Node constructs as plain Error objects with a .code own-property rather than through makeNodeErrorWithCode. The .stack header already omitted the bracket for these, so toString() and .stack now agree. A repo-wide grep for [ABORT_ERR], [HPE_, and [MODULE_NOT_FOUND] in src/ and test/ found nothing, confirming no consumer depended on the old form.
Other factors
The test is well-constructed per the repo's review rules: it asserts the strongest invariant (err.toString === Error.prototype.toString, not just the rendered string), covers both the JS-builtin and native construction paths for ABORT_ERR, includes a positive ERR_* control so a future regression that drops the override entirely would fail, and follows existing harness patterns (await using server = createServer() appears in several existing test files). The PR description documents USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 failing 4/5 and bun bd passing 5/5, plus a sweep of the 91 vendored Node parallel tests mentioning these codes.
Node assigns code as a plain own property on ERR_* errors, on
SystemError and on process warning objects. Bun kept it on the cached
prototype or marked it DontEnum, so Object.keys, JSON.stringify and
object spread dropped it. The same applied to S3Error.
…ouched
Drop code from the shared per-code prototype so a mutated prototype
cannot change or remove the code of later instances, and so delete
err.code leaves it undefined as in Node. Only the Error that emitWarning
creates for a string warning gets name, code and detail, matching Node's
createWarningObject. An Error passed to emitWarning is emitted as is.
Node's NodeError toString closes over the code, so it still prints it
after the own code property is reassigned or deleted. Stash the code on
the per-code toString function and read it from the callee. Also drop a
comment in WebStreamsMisc.cpp that described the old prototype layout.
Conflicts:
- src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.cpp: INVALID_ARG_VALUE_RangeError now takes its
message from builder.finish().
- src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/WebStreamsMisc.cpp: main removed errorCodeIs.
…odeCache factory
ErrorCodeCache::createInstance is now the only place that makes an error
of the ERR_* table. It puts `code` on the error as an own enumerable
property, from a JSString that the cache keeps per code. On the rows whose
name is not the name of their constructor (AbortError,
UnhandledPromiseRejection, SystemError, RedisError) it puts an own `name`
after it, from a JSString that the cache keeps per name.
- The String overloads of createError call it directly. They no longer
wrap the message in a JSString for ErrorCodeCache::createError to unwrap.
- INVALID_ARG_VALUE_RangeError and createError for a global that is not a
Zig::GlobalObject use the cache. Each made a prototype and a Structure
for every error.
- The per-code prototype keeps `name` and `toString`, not enumerable.
toString prints the code of its function, as the toString of Node's
NodeError does.
- The nine codes that Node makes from SystemError (ERR_FS_CP_*,
ERR_FS_EISDIR) are named so in the table. Their own `name` is not
enumerable and their toString reads `this.code`, both as in Node.
- The table and the maker of the per-code prototype are private to
ErrorCodeCache.
- child_process: only an errno error gets `syscall: "spawn"`. An ERR_*
validation error from Bun.spawn has an own `code` too now.
- process.emitWarning, ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR and S3Error are as on main again.
A row with a name of its own has that name on the error. Its prototype
holds the name of the kind, as the prototype of a Node class does, so an
error without its own name is an Error again. The nine SystemError rows
had a prototype named SystemError.
ownNameField() asserts that the row has a name.
The catch of ChildProcess.spawn() looked Object.hasOwn up on the global
at the time of the call. The module already keeps ObjectHasOwn, so a
program that replaces Object.hasOwn no longer changes which errors are
deferred or get syscall "spawn".
The test of the ERR_* error says why its input is a negative fd: only
Bun.spawn() refuses it, inside that try. What Node refuses too is
refused before the try.
…a NodeError in Node
ErrorCodeCache::createPrototype put the `name [code]: message` toString()
on the prototype of every row of ErrorCode.ts. Node defines that
toString() on the NodeError classes of makeNodeErrorWithCode. An error
that Node makes in another way inherits Error.prototype.toString.
The generator now emits `bool hasNodeErrorToString` for each row into
ErrorCodeData, and createPrototype makes the function only where it is
true. A row gets no toString() when its code has no ERR_ prefix (Node
registers no such code: ABORT_ERR, MODULE_NOT_FOUND, HPE_*), or when the
table makes the row with plain(). ERR_UNHANDLED_REJECTION is made with
plain().
error-code-toString-fixture.cjs has a producer for each row made with
plain(). The test runs it in Bun, and in Node when the machine has
v26.3.0 or later, and both must print the same lines.
test-promise-unhandled-default.js is the text of Node v26.3.0 again,
except for the flag in its first lines. The table of built-ins of the
AOT compiler lists no toString for what $makeAbortError makes.
Node makes the errors of these 27 codes in native code only. Its factory
there makes a plain error and sets `code` on it (src/node_errors.h), so
the error inherits Error.prototype.toString.
A row is marked when three things hold. A call in Node throws the error
with no `[code]` in its text and with the inherited toString(). Every
producer of the row in Bun is in a node:* module. The fixture can make
the error, so the test holds the mark against Node.
Node registers ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_DIGEST and ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_JWK for
makeNodeErrorWithCode, but no module of its lib/ makes either.
Its test on the code prefix is now in the generator (generate-node-errors.ts),
and its test file is part of error-code-toString-receiver.test.ts. This merge
changes no file.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the cache's new internal fields (code strings and shared own-name strings) for GC rooting: they are WriteBarrier'd fields visited by JSInternalFieldObjectImpl::visitChildren and cleared over numberOfInternalFields in finishCreation, so they are rooted. The ErrorOwnName::<name> identifiers the generator emits are all valid C++ identifiers for the current table (AbortError, SystemError, PostgresError, MySQLError, RedisError, UnhandledPromiseRejection), and the edit to the vendored test-promise-unhandled-default.js only removes a Bun-only override, moving the file back toward upstream.
Extended reasoning...
The change reworks the native Node-error table (ErrorCode.cpp/.h/.ts and its generator) so code becomes an own property, per-code prototypes lose code, and plain() rows skip the bracketed toString, with follow-on edits in child_process.ts and cp-sync.ts plus new tests. It touches no auth, injection or data-exposure surface, but it changes the observable shape of every ERR_* error across the runtime and grows a GC-managed cache, which is why inline findings and a human look are warranted. The items above were examined in this run and ruled out from the diff and the surrounding code.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
I reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; the points from my earlier inline comments (the builtins table's toString type, the extra node_errors.h rows marked plain()) are addressed in the new commits. Because this reshapes the native error factory and the cache's internal-field layout for every ERR_* code, a human look is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
ErrorCodeCache::createInstance/createPrototype: the new code-string and own-name fields are WriteBarriers visited by the base visitChildren, and the ownNameField index stays within 2*NODE_ERROR_COUNT + NODE_ERROR_OWN_NAME_COUNT.
NodeError_proto_toString: the private code read is on jsCallee() (never a user value); every receiver get/toString is followed by RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION.
Removed non-Zig-global fallback in createError(VM&, JSGlobalObject*, ErrorCode, JSValue): the sibling String overload already routed through defaultGlobalObject, so this only drops a per-call uncached structure.
Grepped the test suite for assertions on the old [code] bracket text of the newly plain rows and for the old own-key shape of Redis table errors: none found beyond the tests updated here.
Extended reasoning...
The diff touches src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.cpp/.h/.ts and the generator, giving every table error an own enumerable code, moving non-constructor names (AbortError, SystemError, UnhandledPromiseRejection, RedisError/PostgresError/MySQLError rows) to own instance properties, and dropping the bracketed toString for 50 rows; ride-alongs in cp-sync.ts, child_process.ts, and five test files. No security-sensitive surface (no auth, crypto logic, or path handling) is changed, only error-object shape and text. The hunt ran dry with no findings and the fixture-driven tests cover each plain row in both Bun and Node, but the change is large, alters GC-rooted internal-field layout, and changes user-visible stringification across many codes, so it is not simple enough to approve without a human. No CODEOWNERS entry covers these files and no third-party objection is outstanding.
…d test that each plain() row has one
The fixture had no producer for ERR_STRING_TOO_LONG.
Buffer.allocUnsafe(MAX_STRING_LENGTH + 1).toString() makes the error in
Node and in Bun. Bun refuses the length before it reads the buffer.
A new test reads the rows made with plain() from ErrorCode.ts. It fails
when the fixture has no producer for one of them.

Built on #41737 and contains its commits: merge that first. Own diff: caf19d44e0...d6c6f6f665.
Problem
--unhandled-rejections=strict|throw,String(err)isUnhandledPromiseRejection [ERR_UNHANDLED_REJECTION]: .... Node prints no bracket, andtest-promise-unhandled-default.jsasserts that.AbortError [ABORT_ERR],Error [HPE_INVALID_METHOD]and errors that Node makes in C++ have it too.createPrototype(src/jsc/bindings/ErrorCode.cpp) gives every row ofErrorCode.tsthe functionNodeError_proto_toString.Fix
ErrorCode.tsmarks a row withplain(). The generator emits aboolper row, andcreatePrototypereads it. 50 of 349 entries inheritError.prototype.toString.name [code]: message. The test runs a producer of each marked row in Bun and Node.test/js/node/errors/error-code-toString-receiver.test.ts(node errors: put an own enumerable code on ERR_* errors in one ErrorCodeCache factory #41737's head fails 9 of 12 new tests), and the vendored test without its override. Self-reviewed: 26 concerns raised, 24 addressed (Notes).Background
ErrorCode.tsis the table ofcodestrings of Bun's Node layer.ErrorCode.cppmakes one prototype object per code.AbortError,UnhandledPromiseRejectionand errors from C++ are plain errors with acode.util.format("%s", err).Downsides
String(err)and${err}lose[code]for 50 codes, also from Bun's own APIs (Notes). Programs that match that text break.util.format("%s", err)prints theutil.inspecttext for them, as in Node..textgrows by 256 bytes.Notes
Where this comes from, and the order
code. This PR is built on it for two reasons. On main alone,util.format("%s", err)of these errors has no code at all, becauseutil.inspectshows own properties only. And node errors: put an own enumerable code on ERR_* errors in one ErrorCodeCache factory #41737 replaces the three functions that this change had to edit on main.robobun/67b3ca1b/error-table-tostring-on-main, for the case that it has to go first.Repro

The vendored copy gaveknownErrora bracketedtoStringwhentypeof Bun !== "undefined". That line and its comment are gone. The file now differs from Node's only by the// Flags:header.Which rows inherit

toStringisError.prototype.toString, and the fixture has that producer.test/js/node/errors/error-code-toString-fixture.cjshas one producer for each of the 31 marked rows, and a test fails when a marked row has none. The test runs the fixture in Bun, and in Node when the machine has v26.3.0 or later. Both print the same lines, one for each row. The producer ofERR_DLOPEN_FAILEDis a child without--no-addons. Node v26.3.0, v26.12.1 and v26.13.0 were run here.The producer of
ERR_STRING_TOO_LONGisBuffer.allocUnsafe(MAX_STRING_LENGTH + 1).toString(), the call of Node'stest-buffer-tostring-rangeerror.js. Bun refuses the length before it reads the 2 GiB buffer: the peak RSS of the process grows by 14 MiB or less on a debug build with ASAN, and by 2 MiB on a release build. Node copies its 512 MiB before V8 refuses the length: +513 MiB of peak RSS and about 0.3 s, in the Node run only. On a host with less than 4 GiB of memory the test leaves this row out of both runs (d6c6f6f): such a host can refuse the 2 GiB, andtest/js/node/buffer.test.jsskips the same reservation there.Node registers

ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE,ERR_INVALID_STATE,ERR_OUT_OF_RANGEand others). Node decides at the throw site, and a mark decides for a code. Most of the[code]text that Node does not print is here, and stays. A plain entry beside the bracketed one of such a code is possible (the table already gives one code several entries), and is a change for a maintainer to ask for.ERR_CRYPTO_OPERATION_FAILEDandERR_MEMORY_ALLOCATION_FAILED: Node's are plain. No test can make either on purpose: a failed scrypt, a detached buffer underrandomFill, a failed allocation.ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_MESSAGELEN: its producer needs a CCM cipher, and Bun has none, so no test can make it.ERR_HTTP2_ERRORandERR_HTTP2_TOO_MANY_INVALID_FRAMES: Node'sNghttpErrordefines the bracketedtoString.ERR_STREAM_RELEASE_LOCK: a second row namedAbortError.

26 concerns were raised. 24 are addressed: the branch is rebuilt on #41737, three rows are added after a run of Node (
ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_DIGEST,ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_JWK,ERR_MISSING_PASSPHRASE), the test runs the fixture in Node, the mark and the test hook for the dead rowERR_STREAM_RELEASE_LOCKare gone, theHPE_*test fails at once when noclientErrorcomes, the two programs undertest/aotare gone, and this text names what stays.Two are not done:
test.failingcase for each row that keeps its bracket. Such a case states an end state, and for those rows the end state is a maintainer's call. The list above has them.String(err)in.claude/docs/landing-prs.md. The rule is in one line atplain(), above the table, where a row is added.Review on the PR
ERR_CRYPTO_TIMING_SAFE_EQUAL_LENGTH,ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED,ERR_STRING_TOO_LONG. The fixture has a producer for each (ce9cf9e for the last).
