The **console‑assert** package provides a simple polyfill for Node’s `console.assert`, replacing the default behavior—which throws an exception—with the standard behavior of merely logging an error message. It patches the global `console.assert` (and can be restored) so developers can write polymorphic code that works consistently in both browser and Node environments. Suitable for Node developers who need a standards‑compliant `console.assert` without the disruptive throw behavior.
