  - `sync.promiseState(promise)` (#1531, slicc-jsh#974) tells a native promise's state synchronously, as Node's `util.inspect` does: `{ state: 'pending' | 'fulfilled' | 'rejected', value }`. `value` is the very fulfillment value or rejection reason (`undefined` while pending), and probing doesn't handle a rejection. On the Node entry it reads the promise through an inspector session the process worker opens on first use, one per process and per thread; the probe runs no program code. Anything that isn't a native promise (a thenable, a proxy) is a `TypeError`. It answers `undefined` in a browser, where a worker has no inspector, on a Node built without one, once a program has changed `Object.prototype` or put a `toJSON` on a built-in prototype, and when the global object can't take a new property (`Object.preventExtensions(globalThis)`, or a frozen global).

  - `sync.setStackFormatter(fn | null)` (#1612, slicc-jsh#1091) is Node only, so check it with `typeof ctx.sync.setStackFormatter === 'function'`. It returns the previous formatter, and `null` removes it.
426
426
  - **When `fn` runs:** it formats an error's `.stack` the way V8's prepare-stack-trace callback does, as `fn(error, callSites)` returning the string. It runs only when no own `Error.prepareStackTrace` function is set, as in Node, so `Error.prepareStackTrace` stays an ordinary property: after `delete` it's `undefined`, `Object.getPrototypeOf(Error)` stays `Function.prototype`, and an assignment to a frozen subclass throws in strict mode.
427
- - **What `fn` gets:** a fresh array of V8 CallSites holding only the program's own frames (its modules, `data:` imports, `sync.runScript` scripts and code they `eval`), `node:` frames and native frames. Kernel frames are dropped by script identity, so a script named like a kernel file doesn't let them through, and so are host files. A program's strict frames give `getFunction()` and `getThis()` as `undefined`.
427
+ - **What `fn` gets:** a fresh array of V8 CallSites holding only the program's own frames (its modules, `data:` imports, `sync.runScript` scripts, code they `eval`, and `new Function` or `eval` code named by `//# sourceURL`, #1632), `node:` frames and native frames. Kernel frames are dropped by script identity, so a script named like a kernel file doesn't let them through, and so are host files. A program's strict frames give `getFunction()` and `getThis()` as `undefined`.

428
  - **Fallback:** if `fn` throws or returns a non-string, or an error is formatted while `fn` runs, the default stack is used.
429
429
  - **How it works:** process workers start with `--expose-internals`, so the worker can install the formatter before the lockdown. Host flags a worker refuses are dropped. If the worker still can't start with the flag, the method is absent. Every `internal/*` and `node:internal/*` module stays refused to programs, as do `node:module` and `node:worker_threads`.

- - `sync.errorSource(error)` (#1610, slicc-jsh#1082) is Node only, so check it with `typeof ctx.sync.errorSource === 'function'`. It gives `{ sourceLine, lineNumber, startColumn }` (null-prototype and frozen), the source line Node prints over an uncaught error, for an error in the program's own code. The kernel takes V8's position while the stack is formatted (#1633), so this also works after `.stack` was read, and for a call of a non-function, a ReferenceError, a TDZ error or a thrown `Error`. That includes a direct `eval` of a value that isn't a string literal (`const s = 'null.d'; eval(s)` gives `null.d` and line 1) and a `sync.runScript` script.

  - **Only the program's own code:** it answers only when the error's top frame is a program frame and the position V8 kept is in that same script and line.
432
432
  - **`undefined` cases:** kernel-made errors; values that aren't native errors; a script that borrows the kernel worker's name; and an error an own `Error.prepareStackTrace` formats.
433
433
  - **How it works:** it reads V8's message through Node's internal errors binding, which the worker loads at start-up through the same `--expose-internals` as `setStackFormatter`. It prints no warning and needs no inspector.
