Consequently:\n1. If f throws synchronously, the error is thrown immediately to the caller's execution context; it never becomes a rejected promise, bypassing any trailing .catch() handler.\n2. If f returns an Error object, all four wrappers fulfill with that Error object as the resolved value. An Error instance is a standard object, not a rejection.\n3. If f returns a rejected promise, all four wrappers produce a rejected promise with that error. Under the ECMAScript PromiseResolve abstract operation (sec-promise-resolve), step 1 checks: \"If IsPromise(x) is true, then let xConstructor be ? Get(x, \\\"constructor\\\"). If SameValue(xConstructor, C) is true, return x.\" That is, when the argument's constructor strictly matches the receiver constructor C (rather than Symbol.species), x is returned directly as an identity shortcut without re-wrapping.\n4. If f returns a thenable whose then() method throws, all four wrappers produce a rejected promise. ECMAScript 27.2.1.3.2 (Promise Resolve Functions) retrieves resolution.then and schedules PromiseResolveThenableJob; when calling then throws, the job catches the exception and calls reject(error).\n\nThe smallest snippet demonstrating the difference:\n```js\n// Promise.resolve(f()): synchronous throw escapes .catch()\ntry {\n  Promise.resolve((() => { throw new Error('boom'); })()).catch(onErr);\n} catch (e) {\n  console.log('Synchronously thrown outside promise chain');\n}\n\n// Promise.try(f): captured into the rejected promise chain\nPromise.try(() => { throw new Error('boom'); }).catch(onErr); // handled by onErr\n```\n\nThe other three wrappers (new Promise(res => res(f())), Promise.try(f), and (async () => f())()) evaluate f inside their own executor, runner, or async frame, converting synchronous throws into rejected promises.","method":"Tested on Node v26.12.1 (macOS arm64), where Promise.try is supported natively.

The docs sentence (MDN, Promise.try): the problem with Promise.resolve(func()) \"is that if func() synchronously throws an error, this error would not be caught and turned into a rejected promise\". Only f throwing synchronously (case 1) shows this. Cases 2 to 4 give the same outcome for all four wrappers except where noted:\n- Case 1, f throws: Promise.resolve(f()) throws out of the call itself, no promise exists (f() runs before Promise.resolve is entered). new Promise(res => res(f())), Promise.try(f) and async () => f() all return a promise rejected with the thrown Error.\n- Case 2, f returns an Error object: all four fulfil with that Error object. Returning an Error is not throwing it, so a fulfilled promise is the right result and the doc is not contradicted.\n- Case 3, f returns an already rejected promise: all four reject with that reason. This is Promise.resolve's own rule: PromiseResolve returns the argument itself when it is a promise whose constructor is the same, so Promise.resolve(p) === p was true in the run. It says nothing about sync throws, since f() returned normally.\n- Case 4, f returns a thenable whose then throws: all four reject with the error thrown by then. Not a call-time throw: f() returns normally, and the throw happens later, when the thenable is adopted. Spec (tc39.es/ecma262, fetched fresh; clause numbers as in the current draft): Promise.resolve is 27.5.4.7 and calls PromiseResolve (27.5.4.7.1), which for a non-promise creates a new promise and calls its resolve function; the resolve function from CreateResolvingFunctions (27.5.1.3) does: if resolution is not an Object, fulfil; \"Let then be Completion(Get(resolution, \"then\"))\"; if that is abrupt, RejectPromise (so a throwing \"then\" getter rejects); if then is not callable, fulfil with the object; else it enqueues NewPromiseResolveThenableJob, which calls then in a later job and rejects the promise if that call throws.\nSmallest snippet showing the documented difference: const f = () => { throw new Error(\"sync\"); }; Promise.resolve(f()) throws synchronously; Promise.try(f) returns a rejected promise.\nOne observation that differs from the spec text I fetched: Promise.try(f) in the current draft (27.5.4.8) calls f, and for a normal return does \"Return ? PromiseResolve(ctor, ! status)\", which would return the same promise object for a returned native promise. In Node 26 Promise.try(() => p) === p was false (for fulfilled and for rejected p), so V8 appears to return a new promise that follows p.

Read the current tc39 Control Abstraction Objects chapter: Promise.try section 27.5.4.8 normal-completion branch returns PromiseResolve, and PromiseResolve section 27.5.4.7.1 has the constructor-identity shortcut. This supports the stated observed difference between the live draft and this Node runtime. Same-constructor Promise.resolve identity also passed.","artifacts":"{\n  \"node\": \"v26.12.1\",\n  \"fulfilledIdentity\": false,\n  \"rejectedIdentity\": false,\n  \"fulfilledResult\": \"ok\",\n  \"rejectedResult\": \"no\"\n}\n16-cell matrix: [{\"name\":\"throws\",\"wrapper\":\"resolve-call\",\"status\":\"sync_throw\",\"value\":\"sync_err\"},{\"name\":\"throws\",\"wrapper\":\"executor\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"sync_err\"},{\"name\":\"throws\",\"wrapper\":\"try\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"sync_err\"},{\"name\":\"throws\",\"wrapper\":\"async\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"sync_err\"},{\"name\":\"error\",\"wrapper\":\"resolve-call\",\"status\":\"fulfilled\",\"value\":\"err_obj\"},{\"name\":\"error\",\"wrapper\":\"executor\",\"status\":\"fulfilled\",\"value\":\"err_obj\"},{\"name\":\"error\",\"wrapper\":\"try\",\"status\":\"fulfilled\",\"value\":\"err_obj\"},{\"name\":\"error\",\"wrapper\":\"async\",\"status\":\"fulfilled\",\"value\":\"err_obj\"},{\"name\":\"rejected\",\"wrapper\":\"resolve-call\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"rejected_promise\"},{\"name\":\"rejected\",\"wrapper\":\"executor\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"rejected_promise\"},{\"name\":\"rejected\",\"wrapper\":\"try\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"rejected_promise\"},{\"name\":\"rejected\",\"wrapper\":\"async\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"rejected_promise\"},{\"name\":\"thenable\",\"wrapper\":\"resolve-call\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"then_err\"},{\"name\":\"thenable\",\"wrapper\":\"executor\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"then_err\"},{\"name\":\"thenable\",\"wrapper\":\"try\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"then_err\"},{\"name\":\"thenable\",\"wrapper\":\"async\",\"status\":\"rejected\",\"value\":\"then_err\"}]","environment":"Node v26.12.1; macOS arm64; current live ECMAScript draft read","caveat":"The draft is mutable and may postdate the runtime implementation; this observation does not establish a conformance bug against the ECMAScript edition Node implements.

Consequently:\n1. If f throws synchronously, the error is thrown immediately to the caller's execution context; it never becomes a rejected promise, bypassing any trailing .catch() handler.\n2. If f returns an Error object, all four wrappers fulfill with that Error object as the resolved value. An Error instance is a standard object, not a rejection.\n3. If f returns a rejected promise, all four wrappers produce a rejected promise with that error. For Promise.resolve(p), when p is already a Promise of the same species, ECMAScript 27.2.4.5 returns p directly without re-wrapping.\n4. If f returns a thenable whose then() method throws, all four wrappers produce a rejected promise. ECMAScript 27.2.1.3.2 (Promise Resolve Functions) retrieves resolution.then and schedules PromiseResolveThenableJob; when calling then throws, the job catches the exception and calls reject(error).\n\nThe smallest snippet demonstrating the difference:\n```js\n// Promise.resolve(f()): synchronous throw escapes .catch()\ntry {\n  Promise.resolve((() => { throw new Error('boom'); })()).catch(onErr);\n} catch (e) {\n  console.log('Synchronously thrown outside promise chain');\n}\n\n// Promise.try(f): captured into the rejected promise chain\nPromise.try(() => { throw new Error('boom'); }).catch(onErr); // handled by onErr\n```\n\nThe other three wrappers (new Promise(res => res(f())), Promise.try(f), and (async () => f())()) evaluate f inside their own executor, runner, or async frame, converting synchronous throws into rejected promises.","method":"Tested on Node v26.12.1 (macOS arm64), where Promise.try is supported natively.
