A `break label` / `continue label` that targets an outer loop from inside a
nested loop threw `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading
'done')` (break) or silently produced nothing (continue), in sync
generators, async generators and async functions alike.
Generator linearization gives each loop one break sentinel and one continue
sentinel, so a completion can only name the loop it sits in.
`rewrite_labeled_bc_in_stmts` converts labeled completions to plain ones at
the labeled loop's own body level and stops at nested loops — a plain
completion there would bind to the nested loop. The escape that was left
survived into a state body, where the dispatch lowering has no sentinel for
it and dropped it. The code noted the gap ("the single-sentinel scheme
can't yet distinguish targets").
Unwind it through a carrier local instead, so every completion the
linearizer sees is plain: the escape sets the carrier and plain-breaks out
of its loop, each intermediate loop propagates with `if (carrier != 0)
break`, and the labeled loop turns the carrier back into the real
`break`/`continue`. A switch carrying an escape is desugared to `if`s
first, since a plain `break` inside a switch binds to the switch.
The issue's own repro was already fixed by PerryTS#9189; the surviving hole is the
cross-loop target, where the switch turns out to be incidental.
Closes PerryTS#9199

Desugar the enclosing switch before inserting carrier propagation.
A nested loop inside a switch case gets a carrier post-check with a plain break. That break binds to the switch. Later switch lowering folds it into a case break, so break O continues the outer loop instead of exiting it.

A labeled
break/continuethat targets an outer loop from inside a nested loop threw or silently vanished in every function kind the generator linearizer rewrites.Root cause
Generator linearization gives each loop a single break sentinel and a single continue sentinel, so a completion can only name the loop it sits in.
rewrite_labeled_bc_in_stmtstherefore convertsbreak label/continue labelinto plain completions only at the labeled loop's own body level, and stops at nested loops — correctly, because a plain completion inside a nested loop would bind to that loop.What was missing is what happens to the escape that is left over. It survived verbatim into a state body, where the dispatch lowering has no sentinel for it and dropped it.
linearize.rssaid as much:The fix
Stop asking the state machine to name a distant target. A carrier local unwinds the escape one loop at a time, so every completion the linearizer sees is plain and binds to the loop it is in:
Deeper nesting reuses the same carrier and propagates outward with a bare
if (__esc != 0) break;after each intermediate loop, so an escape from any depth walks out without the linearizer ever seeing a labeled completion. Aswitchcarrying an escape is desugared toifs first (a plainbreakinside a switch binds to the switch), reusing the existingdesugar_switch_to_ifs. A nested statement that redeclares the same label shadows it and is skipped.Scope was wider than the report
The issue's own one-level repro (
break loopfrom aswitchin a single labeledfor…of) already passes on main — #9189 covered it after all. Re-measuring turned up the surviving hole one level deeper, with the identical error, and it is broader than the issue's framing:switchis incidental — a barebreak outerin a nested loop fails on its own, while the switch-wrapped form works because async labeled switch with await spins forever at break label #9186's routing already handles it;breakandcontinuefail differently (malformed iterator result vs. silent drop).The sibling "
