REPL: dot-commands produce SyntaxError inside multi-line input

Version

any v24.1.0+

Platform

Tested on:
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64;
WSL2 Debian;

Subsystem

REPL

What steps will reproduce the bug?

printf "function a() {\n.break\n" | node -i
printf "function a() {\n.exit\n" | node -i
printf "function a() {\n.help\n" | node -i

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

Always. Required condition: any registered dot-command typed as the first line after a Recoverable error if self.terminal === true. This includes both real interactive TTYs and node -i with piped stdin.

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

.break    Sometimes you get stuck, this gets you out
.clear    Alias for .break
.editor   Enter editor mode
.exit     Exit the REPL
.help     Print this help message
.load     Load JS from a file into the REPL session
.save     Save all evaluated commands in this REPL session to a file
Press Ctrl+C to abort current expression, Ctrl+D to exit the REPL

.exit

Additional information

The expected behavior is dot-commands working in multi-line mode. Since 24.1.0 they do not. Only changes to TTY multi-line input behavior in 24.1.0 were introduced by #58003.
Bisect:

git checkout v24.1.0
./configure
make -j2 node > /dev/null 2>/dev/null 
printf "function a(){\n.break\n" | ./node -i

git checkout 629a954477^

git checkout 629a954477
make -j2 node > /dev/null 2>/dev/null
printf "function a(){\n.break\n" | ./node -i

Hunk level bisect:

git checkout 629a954477

Reason:

1. The change in handling of Recoverable error shifts the TTY multi-line handling into self[kAddNewLineOnTTY]();.
2. It causes onLine(cmd) handler to be called with the whole multi-line buffer in cmd.
3. That results in the REPL keyword check failing - instead of checking the first character in ".break" it checks the first character in "function a() {\r.break". (\n becomes \r in kAddHistory, not relevant to the bug)
4. Which leads to REPL keywords being passed to eval where they produce SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'.

Inizia in lib/repl.js, concentrandoti sul percorso Recoverable-error, su kAddNewLineOnTTY e sul gestore onLine(cmd). Riproduci il problema con i comandi printf forniti usando node -i, quindi traccia come l’input multilinea memorizzato nel buffer raggiunge il controllo dei comandi con il punto. Il lavoro è concluso quando .break, .clear, .exit e .help funzionano all’interno di un input multilinea senza produrre un SyntaxError.
