Research direction

Start at client.js:21:95 and trace the value passed to utf8.decode, then inspect ucs2decode at node_modules/utf8/utf8.js:30 under Node v7. Reproduce the TypeError and determine why the decode input is not a string; done means the reported call no longer raises this error, with the expected behavior verified.
