Research direction
Examine the example PR #47498 to understand the migration pattern. Identify the message test files in Python (likely in test/message/ directory) and create equivalent JavaScript tests using Node's test runner. Note that some tests may require additional work, such as pseudo tty tests which need a more sophisticated approach.
