☝️ Should use the util for isError (internal reference) for this since it avoids the error of errors from other realms.

Only changing this here is likely not the best way. It would have to be changed throughout assert in total or not at all. It is also sad that the util function is not a safe check as the Symbol.toStringTag could be set and isError would happily return true in some weird cases.

Ah, didn't know this was consistent with the rest of assert. A follow up would be best.

Oh I thought the new isNativeError was more robust.

Oh, I missed the isNativeError somehow. We have multiple places in core where we should likely switch to this check.

Does Node have a consistent way of checking for optional params or default params?
In this case the falsey check means that users can't specify it as null or "".

No, it's often mixed and fasly values are often set to a default while in other cases only undefined is set to a default.

This method has a mix of deprecated/legacy and new/different functionality. Would moving the operator juggle into a argLength < 2 branch with the other argLen checks be doable? That way it touches less of the overlapping code paths.

That was done on purpose since I believe it is best to just properly do this for all cases.

Shall I maybe change the check to: operator === undefined ? 'fail' : operator?

stackStartFn: stackStartFn || fail
});
};
if (message !== undefined) {
errArgs.message = message;
}
const err = new AssertionError(errArgs);
if (internalMessage) {
err.message = internalMessage;
err.generatedMessage = true;
}
throw err;
}

assert.fail = fail;
