Review Summary
I am requesting changes because the current implementation does not fully satisfy the required mv-like semantics for destination paths, which is a functional requirement rather than a style concern. The main blocking issue is that a destination ending with / is not explicitly treated as a directory that must exist; for example, node index file.txt dir/ should fail with a clear error when dir does not exist, instead of just passing the path into fs.rename. You should add logic near your destination handling (around where you currently use destStat) to: (1) detect dest.endsWith('/'), (2) resolve that to a directory path, and (3) stat it and throw/log an error if the directory is missing.
A second critical issue is that you do not verify that the parent directory exists when the destination is treated as a file path, e.g. ./existingDir/test. For a case like node index file.txt ./nonExistingDir/test, the requirement says the destination directory must exist, so before calling fs.rename you should compute const parent = path.dirname(dest) and ensure parent exists and is a directory; if not, surface a clear error instead of relying solely on the generic fs.rename failure. These two behaviors are needed to correctly implement the specified rules about destination directories and will likely be covered by tests. Aside from these directory-handling gaps, your handling of simple renames and moves into existing directories looks solid, so once you add these checks your solution should be in good shape.

The current implementation only checks whether dest itself is an existing directory; it does not implement the special rule that a path ending with / must be treated as a directory (and must exist), nor does it verify that the parent directory exists for file-like destinations such as ./existingDir/test. Consider adding logic to (1) treat dest ending with / as a directory name and fail if that directory does not exist, and (2) ensure the parent directory of destination exists before calling fs.rename, to comply with the specification about destination directories.
