Description
Currently, it just says RuntimeError: unreachable but it doesn't say it's caused by Asyncify at all.
We can determine the RuntimeError is caused by Asyncify or not by checking the asyncify buffer struct { start: i32, end: i32 } and the start pointer exceeds end pointer or not.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the Asyncify buffer struct and the handling that currently produces RuntimeError: unreachable; verify the diagnostic identifies an Asyncify buffer overflow when start exceeds end and does not mislabel other RuntimeErrors.
