chore: use format for error messages in strided build scripts

[Planeshifter]

Description

Propagating fixes merged to develop between 2026-05-16 23:58:43 -0700 and 2026-05-17 01:31:08 -0700 to sibling packages.

format for error messages in build scripts

Propagates dca1108ec, which replaced +-concatenated throw new Error messages with format() calls from @stdlib/string/format in dataset build scripts, applying the same transformation to code-generation build scripts that retained the old pattern. Each affected script gains a var format = require( '@stdlib/string/format' ); declaration and uses %s specifiers for all interpolated string values.

Affected packages:

• strided/base/binary — scripts/loops.js
• math/strided/ops/add — scripts/addon.js
• math/strided/ops/sub — scripts/addon.js
• math/strided/ops/mul — scripts/addon.js

Related Issues

None.

Validation

• Search scope: all */scripts/ build scripts under lib/node_modules/@stdlib/ were searched for throw new Error messages assembled by + concatenation without an existing @stdlib/string/format import.
• Independent confirmation: two independent reviewers read each of the four target files in full and confirmed the defect, the string-typed interpolants (%s specifiers), the absence of any format identifier collision, and that each change is self-contained within its file.
• Adaptation and style: an adaptation pass produced the per-site patches; a style-consistency pass verified require ordering, spacing, format specifiers, and tab indentation against docs/style-guides. node --check and a format() output-equivalence check were run on all four files.
• Deliberately excluded:
  • dff4820f3 (dtslint AccessorArray type expectations) and e31cdb769 (context.getFilename() → context.filename) — repository-wide searches returned zero remaining sites.
  • 87731b41d (markdown-lint Makefile variable rename) — no dangling references to the old names and no sibling Makefiles with the analogous misnaming.
  • 10cef3dde (EditorConfig indentation) — formatting conformance with no behavioral or user-visible defect; out of scope for fix propagation.
  • b2eb5da5b (stale is-typed-array "See Also" description) — the candidate text resides in the auto-populated <section class="related"> block marked "Do not manually edit"; the fix belongs to the related-packages generator, not manual edits.

Disclosure

This PR was authored by Claude Code running an automated fix-propagation routine: it reviewed the last 24 hours of commits merged to develop, identified dca1108ec as a generalizable fix, located sibling build scripts carrying the same defect, validated each candidate site with independent review agents, and applied the equivalent change.
