Description

Right now errors returned through the callback interface from scratch-parser can be of three types: objects, strings, or Errors. As we have done in other repos it would be good to normalize this to always return an error object.

Research direction

Start by tracing the callback error paths in scratch-parser and identify where object, string, and Error values are returned. Check how existing tests exercise callback errors. Done means every callback error path consistently returns an error object, with coverage for the previously supported error forms.
