We're getting Unhandled error. (undefined), which isn't super helpful. This PR retains the current logic (er.message is used when it exists), otherwise stringify the error and send it back as-is.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to improve the usefulness of unhandled event error messages in EventEmitter.emit(...) by including additional context when the thrown value doesn’t have an error.message.

Changes:

  • Updated the fallback “Unhandled error” message construction to include serialized error context when .message is unavailable.
  • (Formatting-only) No functional change in the closing brace at EOF.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
