Root the test error before storing it.
If GC runs while cp_set_field creates the __cpError field-name string, it can move the error held only in the raw err local. The helper can then store a stale value and make either new test fail for the wrong reason. Root err in scope and reload it for the store. In spawn_error_without_listener_is_unhandled, also root the value read on Line 135 before comparing it after emit_spawn_error, which can allocate. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Based on learnings, Perry’s production GC does not conservatively scan Rust locals, so NaN-boxed values must be rooted and reloaded across allocating operations.

…ode does A failed spawn()/fork() emits a deferred `error` on the ChildProcess. With no `error` listener Perry dropped it, still fired `close`, and carried on; Node's EventEmitter throws it (`Unhandled 'error' event`) and `close` never fires. This is the remaining half of #10730: test_gap_9592 read as a Perry pass on macOS because the missing /bin/true's ENOENT went nowhere, not because Perry resolved the absolute path through PATH (it does not). The emit now reports whether a listener took the error; if not, the error object is thrown as-is once the frame's handle scopes have dropped, and `close` is not scheduled. Adds test_gap_10730_child_unhandled_error (byte-identical to node; prints `close without listener` and no `uncaught` lines without the fix) and two failed_spawn unit tests.

Summary
Of the four issues, three were already fixed on
mainby earlier PRs; I re-verified each on this head. The one real gap left was the second half of #10730, which this PR fixes: a failedspawn()orfork()whoseerrorevent has no listener now throws, as Node's EventEmitter does. Before, Perry dropped the error, still firedclose, and carried on.No version bump.
