Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
Refactors the TypeScript-to-Lua try/catch/finally transformation to correctly handle control flow (return/break/continue) across try, catch, and finally blocks. Previously, finally did not behave correctly with respect to control flow (see #1137), and break/continue inside try were only handled in async contexts.
Changes:
- Rewrote transformTryStatement to wrap both try and catch in pcall, using a unified ____hasReturnOrError flag so finally can override returns and errors can be re-thrown after finally executes.
- Generalized the try-scope break/continue flag handling (previously asyncTryHas*) to apply to all try/catch blocks, not just async ones; renamed findAsyncTryScopeBeforeLoop → findTryScopeBeforeLoop and asyncTryHas{Break,Continue} → tryHas{Break,Continue}.
- Added extensive unit tests covering returns from try/catch/finally, throws from finally, and break/continue inside try/catch with and without finally; un-skipped the re-throw test (#1137).

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| src/transformation/visitors/errors.ts | Rewrote try transform with double-pcall pattern and propagated source nodes to emitted Lua nodes. |
| src/transformation/visitors/break-continue.ts | Removed async-only gating; now uses the renamed findTryScopeBeforeLoop and tryHas{Break,Continue} flags. |
| src/transformation/utils/scope.ts | Renamed scope fields and helper to drop the async prefix since they now apply to all try scopes. |
| test/unit/error.spec.ts | Added many new tests for finally-overriding-return, throw-in-finally, and break/continue inside try/catch; enabled the previously-skipped re-throw test. |

Extract duplicated return-if-has-return-or-error into a module-level helper. Expand the elseBranch ternary into an explicit if/else with comments for each case (non-empty catch, no catch, empty catch). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- implement break and continue support within try-catch-finally blocks - generalize and rename async-specific try scope properties and helpers (test): add tests for break and continue inside try-catch-finally blocks
