    - A normal finish settles only after every frame is consumed. An abort or timeout settles at once and drops frames still queued. The timer and the abort signal stay armed while a finished run's last frames drain, so a late abort, timeout or `close()` abandons them too (the run settles with that error): a consumer that never returns cannot keep a run alive.
    - `frameBytes` and `windowBytes` must be at least 4, so a frame can always hold a whole surrogate pair.
 2. **Builtin store policy** (`builtins: { store: "collect" | "reject" }`; `types.ts`, `runtime/protocol.ts`, `runtime/worker.ts`, `runtime/host.ts`, `runtime/prelude-source.ts`). With `"reject"`, `load()` returns `undefined` and `store()` throws `CodemodeStoreDisabledError`. The names stay defined, so scripts written for upstream fail with a clear message instead of a ReferenceError.
+3. **Runtime-set error reasons** (`types.ts` `CodemodeError.reason`, `runtime/prelude-source.ts`, `runtime/worker.ts`). The prelude captures the engine's own `InternalError` before user code runs and tags a failure `reason: "memory"` only for an instance of it whose message is exactly "out of memory"; its stalled-promise failure is tagged `reason: "unresolved"`; the worker tags an engine out-of-memory from `evalCode` the same way; and `text()` rethrows the engine's own error instead of replacing it with a `TypeError`. The host maps the isolate error codes from `reason` only, never from message text. Upstream has no `reason`, so its behaviour is unchanged.
