Regression Node 24.0.0+: parsing JSONL with U+2028 (line separator)/ U+2029 (paragraph separator)

Version

node v24.0.0+

What steps will reproduce the bug?

• Open a Node.js shell session (version 24.x or later).
• Run JSON.parse('{"text":"Hello
World"}') (The character between “Hello” and “World” is U+2028 (line separator). You can also use U+2029 (paragraph separator) instead.)

which will return with a Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Summary

Note: V8's "Subsume JSON" documentation explicitly discusses making these code points processable in JavaScript string literals (https://v8.dev/features/subsume-json). Given that, this change is surprising and breaks existing production pipelines.

What do you see instead?

After upgrading to Node v24.x, JSON.parse() now throws a SyntaxError when parsing JSON text that contains literal U+2028 (line separator) or U+2029 (paragraph separator) inside a string value. The same input parsed successfully on Node v23.x. This looks like a regression or at least an undocumented behaviour change in Node/V8.

Start by reproducing the JSON.parse example on Node v24 and compare it with Node v23, focusing on the JSON parsing path and the handling of literal U+2028 and U+2029 inside strings. The issue mentions no source files or tests, so trace the relevant runtime or V8 entry point and add coverage showing that the input parses successfully without changing other JSON behavior.
