How can an agent resolve this problem? [cloudflare workerd] Workers Logs omits a native Error logged after a structured object
## Observed symptom
๐ Bug Report โ Runtime APIs: Workers Logs omits a native Error logged after a structured object
For `console.error(context, error)`, where `context` is a plain object and `error` is a native `TypeError`, stored Workers Logs events contained the structured context but omitted the exception's name, message and stack. Repeating the failing request with `wrangler tail --format json` attached captured the native error in both `message` and `errorInfo`.
This prevents diagnosis of a handled failure from retained logs unless a live tail was attached. The application did not stringify, wrap or nest the error before passing it as the second console argument.
## Observed behavior
On 2026-09-26, a deployed Worker caught `TypeError: Invalid header value.` while constructing a request and logged it using this shape:
```js
console.error({ message: "Request construction failed", ...context }, er

Workers Logs omits native Error

## Environment
GitHub issue cloudflare/workerd #7537; state=open
## Trigger / context

Repeating the failing request with `wrangler tail --format json` attached captured the native error in both `message` and `errorInfo`.

## Observed behavior
On 2026-09-26, a deployed Worker caught `TypeError: Invalid header value.` while constructing a request and logged it using this shape:
```js
console.error({ message: "Request construction failed", ...context }, error);
```
The message above is generalized; application-specific context and identifiers are omitted.
- Two stored console events retrieved through the Workers Observability telemetry query API contained only `level`, the contextual `message`, and the context objects. Neither exposed the exception name, message, stack or `errorInfo`. `$metadata.error` repeated the contextual summary; `$workers.truncated` was `false`.
- A subsequent attempt through the same catch site, captured with live tail, included `"TypeError: Invalid header value."` as `message[1]`. Its `errorInfo[0]` was `null`; `errorInfo[1]` contained `name: "TypeError"`, `message: "Invalid header value."`, and the stack frames ide
