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

Always

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

Could be made clearer that this is a failure of process.cwd() as the stack trace makes no mention of it. One may make the connection by context, but not necessarily--it's non-obvious. If this was triggered by a process.cwd() deep in your code somewhere it could be quite confusing.

It'd also probably be useful to explain the possible scenario in which this could be triggered--the directory the process was working in was deleted somehow.

What do you see instead?
