What steps will reproduce the bug?

import { createContext, runInContext } from "vm";
console.log(
  runInContext(
    `
      "use strict";
      ({
        hasOwn: Object.hasOwn(globalThis, "toLocaleString"),
        descriptor: Reflect.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(globalThis, "toLocaleString"),
      });
    `,
    createContext(),
  ),
); // { hasOwn: true, descriptor: undefined }

Tested in both v22.0.0 and v20.12.2.

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

No required condition.

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

Either the property is present or it is not. So either { hasOwn: false, descriptor: undefined} and { hasOwn: true, descriptor: { ... } } would be better.

What do you see instead?

{ hasOwn: true, descriptor: undefined }

I understand why it happens:

• Object.has calls our PropertyGetterCallback interceptor
• We call GetRealNamedProperty, which follows the prototype chain

https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/6aa9047f960e2385dac807e0661a159324b00b0f/src/node_contextify.cc#L477-L478

I don't know how to fix it though. There are cases where we want to follow the protoype and other where we don't, but I'm not sure V8 gives us enough information to know in which case we are.

Maybe the solution is to set a NamedPropertyQueryCallback (we currently don't).

Reopening as a revert of #53172 is necessary (https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/53348).

If we fix this, https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/53346 shows a use case to take care of.
