fix(console): send console.trace to stderr like Node - #39240
Conversation
console.trace was locked and written on the stdout path, so redirecting stdout hid traces. Route MessageType::Trace through the stderr lock/writer/ANSI path, update the Node compat note, and add a regression test.

Changesconsole.trace stderr routing
Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Although console.trace is being moved to stderr, the current change can apply inconsistent output handling to console.assert calls with arguments, and the regression test may hide the most useful failure details. Merge should wait for the predicate fix and test assertion-order update. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

Preserve MessageType::Assert when adding MessageType::Trace.
The use_stderr predicate still includes MessageType::Assert on Line 411-412. These two predicates omit it. An argument-bearing assertion with a normal level can therefore select the stdout color policy and writer(), while the stream lock targets stderr.
Keep the existing assertion case and add the trace case:
Proposed fix
let enable_colors = if matches!(level, MessageLevel::Warning | MessageLevel::Error)
- || message_type == MessageType::Trace
+ || matches!(message_type, MessageType::Assert | MessageType::Trace)
{
...
if matches!(level, MessageLevel::Warning | MessageLevel::Error)
- || message_type == MessageType::Trace
+ || matches!(message_type, MessageType::Assert | MessageType::Trace)Also applies to: 456-457

Assert stream output before exitCode.
The test checks exitCode first. If the child exits with an error, the first failed assertion stops the test before the stdout and stderr assertions report the routing failure. Check stdout and stderr first, then assert exitCode last.
Proposed fix
- expect(exitCode).toBe(0);
expect(stdout).toBe("");
expect(stderr).toContain("hello");
expect(stderr.toLowerCase()).toMatch(/trace/i);
+ expect(exitCode).toBe(0);As per coding guidelines, subprocess tests must drain stdout, stderr, and process exit concurrently and assert the combined result and ordered stage outputs.

What
console.trace() was written on the stdout path. Node sends it to stderr, so redirecting stdout hid the trace entirely.
