Description

Describe the bug

In the client, a route param matcher in src/params cannot be a reserved keyword. For example, src/params/function.ts fails on the client (it works on the server). The expected behavior is to throw a helpful error. Currently, the error (on Firefox) is an internal error with no stack trace:

Uncaught (in promise) InternalError: module record has unexpected status: New
Reproduction

Simply add an empty file called src/routes/function.(js|ts) to a SvelteKit project and load the project in the browser.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the client failure with an empty src/routes/function.(js|ts) route, then inspect the route parameter matcher in src/params and the example src/params/function.ts. The fix is done when this reserved keyword produces a helpful error in the client instead of Firefox's internal module error, while the matcher continues to work on the server.
