What steps will reproduce the bug?

In index.cjs:

const library = require("./library.mjs");

In library.mjs:

import "./index.cjs";

By executing node ./library.mjs, the incorrect error message will appear.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

This error message appears with the same grammar and formatting every time the error appears.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

The expected behavior would be to have an error message without formatting issues and confusing word choices. In particular, I was unsure about the word 'madated' and whether that was runtime-specific lingo I wasn't aware of.

What do you see instead?

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_CYCLE_MODULE]: Cannot require() ES Module [-snip-] in a cycle. (from [-snip-]s)A cycle involving require(esm) is disallowed to maintain invariants madated by the ECMAScript specificationTry making at least part of the dependency in the graph lazily loaded.
