stream/iter: from() accepts async-only nested values from sync iterables #64351

Description

@trivikr

Version

main

Platform

macOS 26.5.2

Subsystem

stream

What steps will reproduce the bug?

import { from, text } from 'node:stream/iter';

async function* asyncGenerator() {
  yield 'data';
}

try {
  console.log(await text(from([asyncGenerator()])));
} catch (error) {
  console.log(`${error.name}: ${error.code ?? error.message}`);
}

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

Always

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

from([asyncGenerator()]) should throw, because the outer source is a sync iterable and the nested value is async-only.

Spec §8.1 says that when from() treats a sync iterator as an async source, nested async iterables and toAsyncStreamable are unsupported. The sync-iterator fallback currently routes nested values through normalizeAsyncValue(), which accepts async iterables and toAsyncStreamable, so the nested async generator is consumed instead of rejected.
