Wrong error annotation when commonjs requires an ES module

[targos]

Version

• ^22.4.0
• main with the --no-experimental-require-module flag.

Platform

macOS arm64

Subsystem

esm,module

What steps will reproduce the bug?

mkdir undefined && cd undefined
echo '{"type":"module"}' > package.json
echo "import nothing from 'somewhere'" > app.js
echo "require('./app.js')" > test.cjs
node test.cjs

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

It starts to happen with v22.4.0. v20.x and <=22.3.0 are not affected.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

$ node test.cjs
/Users/mzasso/git/test/undefined/test.cjs:1
require('./app.js')
^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/mzasso/git/test/undefined/app.js from /Users/mzasso/git/test/undefined/test.cjs not supported.
Instead change the require of app.js in /Users/mzasso/git/test/undefined/test.cjs to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

}

Node.js v22.3.0

What do you see instead?

$ node test.cjs
/Users/mzasso/git/test/undefined/test.cjs:315
undefined
             ^

Node.js v22.4.0

Additional information

As you can see, this seems to be caused by the presence of TracingChannel.traceSync in the stack trace.

Probably caused by #44340 @Qard

@RafaelGSS is the one that finished and landed that PR, so they would probably know better what is going on here.
