§18A.12 — thrown when NOTHING has been preloaded for the resolved bridge.

A synchronous factory MUST NOT silently await: a wasm-authoritative graph and a TS graph differ in read()-identity / commit-clock (§15.1), so a silent swap is a glitch-freedom hazard. Rather than block on an unresolved promise mid-render, the factory throws this clear, actionable error naming the remedy (preloadCauslWasm()) and the bridge — preserving the §18A loud-fail discipline.

Subclass of the WasmEngineUnavailableError family; branch on error.code === 'CAUSL_WASM_NOT_PRELOADED'.

#280 — TWO factories now raise it, so the message takes the CALL SITE as a parameter. createCausl() reaches this subpath through the main-bundle registry slot, and telling that caller to "pass createCauslWasmSync(undefined, …)" would name a factory they did not call and an option that no longer exists. The class and the code are deliberately NOT varied with it: a second class carrying CAUSL_WASM_NOT_PRELOADED would break instanceof for everyone already catching this one.

bridge: undefined | BridgeId

The bridge the sync factory tried to resolve a handle for, or undefined when NOTHING was preloaded and no bridge was pinned.

undefined is the common case rather than the exotic one, and it used to be spelled with a '<none-preloaded>' sentinel BridgeId. That sentinel was not a bridge: it was published on this field, interpolated into the copy-paste remedy below, and the remedy it produced — await preloadCauslWasm({ bridge: '<none-preloaded>' }) — REJECTS, with a different error (CAUSL_WASM_ENGINE_UNAVAILABLE, "the consolidated bridge artefact could not be read or compiled: .../wasm/pkg/%3Cnone-preloaded%3E/ causl_engine_bridge_bg.wasm"), sending the reader into artefact-vendoring and wasmBaseUrl diagnostics when the correct fix was a bare await preloadCauslWasm(). An error whose remedy costs a debugging cycle before it is distrusted is worse than one that offers none.

So the absence is now modelled as an absence. A caller branching on error.bridge must handle undefined; that is the honest shape, and the sentinel never named a bridge anyone could preload.

cause?: unknown

The underlying resolution failure, if any.

code: "CAUSL_WASM_NOT_PRELOADED" = ...
message: string
name: string = 'WasmEngineUnavailableError'
stack?: string
stackTraceLimit: number

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

Methods

  • Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

    const myObject = {};
    Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
    myObject.stack; // Similar to `new Error().stack`

    The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

    The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

    The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

    function a() {
    b();
    }

    function b() {
    c();
    }

    function c() {
    // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
    const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
    Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
    const error = new Error();
    Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

    // Capture the stack trace above function b
    Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
    throw error;
    }

    a();
