PR #7096 addresses the first two import failures in this tracker:

• node-suite/test/imports/aliases
• node-suite/test/imports/module-shape

Both now pass their exact filtered parity runs (1/1, 100%). The production-only root cause was a missing js_node_submod_install_test() before top-level node:test value reads; the PR also canonicalizes Node's callable alias identities (default === test === it, suite === describe, and test.test === test).

PR #7097 addresses two additional mock-function failures:

• node-suite/test/mock-fn/accessor-options
• node-suite/test/mock-fn/method-options-validation

Both exact filtered parity runs now pass (1/1, 100%). The fix forwards the fourth options argument, implements the options-in-implementation-slot overload, validates accessor flags, and roots option reads across user-code-invoking accessors.

[proggeramlug]

PR #7098 addresses two more mock-function failures:

• node-suite/test/mock-fn/implementations
• node-suite/test/mock-fn/once-indices

Both exact filtered parity runs now pass (1/1, 100%). Perry now schedules mockImplementationOnce by absolute call index, overwrites duplicate current-call entries like Node, forwards/validates onCall, and preserves call history when a mock is restored.

[proggeramlug]

PR #7099 fixes the node-suite/test/mock-fn/name-length parity failure. mock.fn(original) now preserves the original function name and arity with Node-compatible configurable descriptors; the focused fixture passes at 100% exact parity.

[proggeramlug]

PR #7100 addresses the five mock.property failures:

• property-access-records
• property-context
• property-no-value
• property-on-access
• property-undefined

All five exact filtered parity fixtures now pass (5/5, 100%). Perry now exposes a proxy-backed property mock context with get/set access records, reset/restore, replacement scheduling, indexed one-shot values, and compiler-preserved omitted-vs-explicit-undefined semantics.

[proggeramlug]

PR #7101 addresses two additional mock-function failures:

• node-suite/test/mock-fn/reset-multiple
• node-suite/test/mock-fn/tracker-reset-restore

Both now pass exact Node/Perry parity. Tracker reset/restore preserves call history, restores only the behavior Node restores, disassociates mocks on reset, and also resets mock timers; the existing timer-reset and restore-focused regression fixtures remain green.

[proggeramlug]

PR #7102 fixes node-suite/test/mock-fn/symbol-method at 100% exact parity. mock.method() now accepts Symbol keys and routes them through Perry's symbol-keyed property storage, including Node 26.5-compatible failed-call tracking after the Symbol restore path.
