What does this PR do?

Puts console.write back to how it behaved before #43649, and marks the tests that depend on the new behaviour as todo.

#43649 turned on typechecking for src/js. wrote += writer.write(...) does not typecheck, because a backed-up FileSink returns a Promise instead of a byte count. That PR rewrote the loop to track Promises and added tests for it. One of them, an awaited console.write rejects with EPIPE when the reader has hung up (several arguments), is flaky on main: it prints caught EPIPE and then dies on an unhandled EPIPE.

• The old function body is back. Two as number casts and the type annotations on this are the only differences, and they have no effect at runtime.
• Only console.write is reverted. The rest of Typecheck the built-in modules (src/js) in CI #43649 stays.
• The two several-arguments test cases are now test.todo. They keep their original assertions, and each has a comment with the failure it shows. The one-argument byte count and EPIPE tests stay as they were, because the old code passes them.

Known bugs this brings back

Bun 1.4.2 has both, and the two todo tests cover them:

• await console.write(big, new Uint8Array(3)) gives the string "[object Promise][object Promise]" when stdout is backed up.
• await console.write(big, "tail") to a reader that hung up dies on an unhandled EPIPE, even inside try/catch.

Not changed

packages/bun-types/globals.d.ts still declares number | Promise<number>. That is correct for one argument.

How did you verify your code works?

• bun bd test test/js/bun/console/console-write.test.ts: 4 pass, 2 todo on a Linux debug build.
• With --todo, both todo tests fail in the way their comments describe.
• Before the todo tests were added, the same file ran 200 times, 8 at a time, on that build: 200 passes.
• The 4 tests that run also pass on Bun 1.4.2, which has the old implementation.
• bun x tsc --noEmit -p src/js/tsconfig.json passes.
• Not run on macOS or Windows.

Walkthrough

ConsoleObject.write now sums numeric results from writer.write, flushes, and returns the total synchronously. The backed-up-write and EPIPE tests actively cover single-argument writes. Separate multi-argument cases are skipped TODOs.

Changes

Console write

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Synchronous write and test updates src/js/builtins/ConsoleObject.ts, test/js/bun/console/console-write.test.ts	write sums numeric results from writer.write, flushes, and returns the total. Active tests cover single-argument writes. Skipped TODOs cover multi-argument backed-up writes and EPIPE behavior.

Suggested reviewers: robobun

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 73d97

Backed-up multi-argument console.write calls can return strings instead of byte counts, and write failures can escape try/catch and terminate the process. Preserve Promise results and rejection handling before merging.

- Line 136: Update the write-combining logic in the console method containing
`writer.write(arguments[i])` to preserve Promise results instead of adding them
as numbers. When any write returns a Promise, return a Promise that awaits all
pending writes and sums their resolved byte counts, propagating rejections; keep
the synchronous summed return when every write returns a number.
