Repro
import process from "node:process";
console.log("default-import typeof:", typeof process);
console.log("default-import argv:", process.argv.length > 0 ? "have argv" : "no argv");
console.log("global typeof:", typeof (globalThis as any).process);Actual
default-import typeof: number
default-import argv: have argv
global typeof: number
Expected (Node)
default-import typeof: object
default-import argv: have argv
global typeof: object
Notes
Surfaced during the #360 ink Phase B investigation (logged in v0.5.716's CLAUDE.md entry alongside a separate but related CJS-link bug filed separately).
Both shapes (default import + global access) report typeof === "number", but property access (process.argv.length) still works correctly — the property path goes through a separate getter that finds the real process binding while the bare-Ident lookup produces what looks like an uninitialized 0.0 read (NaN-box tag → number).
Same root-cause family as the createContext typeof bug from the original #360 sub-item 1 (cross-module call return-value typeof reads wrong tag): something in the binding pipeline is producing an f64 value with the wrong NaN-box tag, so typeof reads it as a number while accessing properties on it goes through machinery that finds the real object.
Acceptance
The 4-line repro above prints typeof === "object" for both surfaces matching Node, while keeping process.argv working.
