i need help again which category is that https://github.com/frank-dspeed/tc39-proposal-importScripts Normative: changes impacting JavaScript behavior in some way. These changes are called "observable" because it is possible to write code to "observe" the change in behavior. Editorial: any non-normative changes to spec text including typo fixes, changes to the document style, etc. Layering: refactoring of specification text, algorithms, and/or embedder hooks to enable clean integration of the JavaScript specification with other specifications that use JavaScript. Markup: non-visible changes to markup in the spec Meta: changes to documents about this repository (e.g. readme.md or contributing.md) and other supporting documents or scripts (e.g. package.json, design documents, etc.)

That is definitely normative, because you can write JS code that uses that new proposed feature

i am not sure if that case leads to web-reality-pr https://github.com/tc39/how-we-work/blob/main/pr.md#web-reality-prs and so i would need to change the name of the proposal?

Web reality PRs are for "all the engines agree on X, but the spec says Y: we should update the spec to say X". This is not the case for your proposal, since importScripts is not already available everywhere

It's possible that the name would have to be changed, but that is a stage 2 discussion. Your goal now is to get to stage 1, which means "we have a problem: ecmascript does not provide a way of loading scripts from within the language, and it's needed because ...".
Sure, we must make sure that the proposal does not break the web and we can start thinking about it, but it's not high-priority at the moment.
