 /**
- * Nish builtins for Node (WP13 differential testing).
- *
- * The differential runner (tests/differential/run.js) rewrites an Nish
- * program into plain JavaScript and runs it under Node with this module as
- * `__nish`. Every helper here reproduces the *runtime* semantics the compiled
- * binary has (runtime/runtime.c and runtime/runtime-os.c, the system-call half,
- * plus the intrinsics in docs/wp7-runtime.md) where JavaScript's own semantics
- * differ:
- *
- *   - `number` is a 32-bit integer in the default mode (`--number-mode i32`),
- *     `i64` is a 64-bit integer, both wrapping; JS has doubles and BigInt.
- *   - `u8`/`u16`/`u32`/`u64` are unsigned and wrapping, and JavaScript has no
- *     unsigned integers at all: the narrow three live in a `number` masked
- *     back into range (`& 0xFF`, `& 0xFFFF`, `>>> 0`) and `u64` is a BigInt
- *     kept in range with `BigInt.asUintN(64, x)`.
- *   - `f32` is a 32-bit float and JavaScript has only doubles, so every `f32`
- *     result is rounded with `Math.fround`.
- *   - `s.length` is the UTF-8 byte length, and so is every index the string
- *     methods take or return: `charCodeAt` yields a byte (and bounds-checks
- *     instead of returning `NaN`), `substring` cuts on byte offsets, and
- *     `indexOf` answers with one. `slice` cuts on byte offsets too and panics
- *     on a range the string does not contain, where JavaScript would clamp and
- *     read a negative offset from the end. `String.fromCharCode` builds a
- *     one-byte string from the low 8 bits, and `String.fromBytes` one such
- *     string per byte of its range.
- *   - `a[i]` is bounds-checked: out of range prints
- *     `index out of range: <i> >= <len>` to stderr and exits 1, and so is
- *     `a.pop()` on an empty array, which has no `undefined` to return.
- *   - `toI32/toI64` from f64 saturate (NaN -> 0), integer conversions wrap.
- *   - `console.log(x)` never prints the `n` suffix of an i64 and writes
- *     synchronously so `process.exit` cannot lose output.
- *   - file I/O errors print `nish: cannot read <path>` and exit 1.
- *   - a directory listing is sorted by UTF-8 bytes, which is `strcmp`'s order
- *     and not `Array#sort`'s UTF-16 one; `monotonicNanos` reads a clock whose
- *     origin is arbitrary, so two readings can agree with a native run and a
- *     single reading never can.
- *   - `process.argv[0]` is the program (the script here, the executable
- *     natively); `parseInt` is base 10 only and saturates into i32 (0 for no
- *     digits); `parseFloat`/`Number` accept ASCII whitespace, decimal forms,
- *     `Infinity`, and a `0x` hex prefix (parseFloat too, unlike JS).
- *
- * The rewrite rules that call these helpers are listed in docs/wp13-differential.md.
+ * Nish builtins for Node: the host-agnostic core (`runtime/core.mjs`, whose
+ * header lists the semantics) with the Node host (`runtime/node.mjs`)
+ * installed. The differential runner and `runtime/nish.mjs` import this module,
+ * and the frozen rewrites name its exports.
