Related: #11713 (the --filter case raised in its comments; the nested bun run case itself is #38071, which changes a different part of run_command.rs).

Problem

• bun run --filter '*' <script> spawns every workspace package's script with the root package's npm_package_name, npm_package_version and npm_package_json, and without npm_lifecycle_event, npm_lifecycle_script or npm_command. A plain bun run <script> inside the package sets all six; npm run <script> -ws sets them per package as well.
• bun run --parallel / --sequential (with or without --filter) behave the same way, including for pre/post scripts.
• Cause: both runners call configure_env_for_run once, which seeds the npm_* vars from the cwd package into the single env map shared by the whole run, and then build each script's envp from that map after swapping in only the per-package PATH (src/runtime/cli/filter_run.rs ProcessHandle::start, src/runtime/cli/multi_run.rs ProcessHandle::start). Nothing else in the map varied per script.
• Reproduces with the 1.4.0 release binary (output below).

Fix

• Adds ScriptEnv (src/runtime/cli/run_command.rs, next to the existing npm_* seeding): the vars that differ per script, i.e. the package's PATH, npm_package_json, npm_package_name / npm_package_version (only when package.json defines them) and, for package.json scripts, npm_lifecycle_event / npm_lifecycle_script. create_envp puts them into the shared map, builds the envp, and restores the previous entries, so the PATH-only swap both runners had becomes one call and the values of one script never leak into the next spawn (a raw --parallel command spawned after a script, or a name-less package spawned after a named one).
• filter_run.rs builds one ScriptEnv per matched package and derives the pre/main/post entries from it; multi_run.rs does the same for each matched workspace package and for the cwd package in single-package mode. Both runners also export npm_command=run-script, the value RunCommand::exec exports for bun run <script>.
• Values match what bun run <script> run inside the package produces: npm_package_json is the same PackageJSON.source.path the single-script path uses, npm_lifecycle_script is the script body as written in package.json (not the rewritten command that is executed), and a package.json without name / version leaves the inherited values alone, as the single-script path and npm both do.
• Verified with test/cli/run/filter-workspace.test.ts ("each script gets the npm_* env of its own package and script") and the two tests in the new npm_* env per script block of test/cli/run/multi-run.test.ts (single package plus a raw command run after a script; workspace with pre/post scripts and a name-less package). All three fail on the release binary (every value is still the inherited one) and pass with the change.
• bun bd test on the full filter-workspace.test.ts (59 pass), multi-run.test.ts (123 pass), run-process-env.test.ts and the $npm_* tests in test/cli/install/bun-run.test.ts pass.

Background

• bun run spawns package.json scripts with an environment built from an env map (bun_dotenv::Map): the parent process environment plus the npm_* variables npm defines for lifecycle scripts. configure_env_for_run fills that map from the package.json of the directory bun run was invoked in.
• --filter, --parallel and --sequential are implemented by separate runners (filter_run.rs, multi_run.rs) that spawn many scripts, possibly from different packages, out of that one map. PATH already had to differ per package (each package's own node_modules/.bin chain), which is the swap this change generalizes.
• npm_lifecycle_event is the name of the script being run (prebuild, build, postbuild), npm_lifecycle_script its body, and npm_command the command that triggered it; bun uses run-script for the latter.

Repro (bun 1.4.0, then this branch)

/tmp/ws/package.json             {"name":"root-ws","version":"0.0.1","workspaces":["packages/*"]}
/tmp/ws/packages/a/package.json  {"name":"pkg-a","version":"1.1.1","scripts":{"p":"echo name=$npm_package_name ver=$npm_package_version json=$npm_package_json ev=[$npm_lifecycle_event] cmd=[$npm_command]"}}
/tmp/ws/packages/b/package.json  same with pkg-b / 2.2.2

bun run --filter '*' p with 1.4.0:

pkg-a p: name=root-ws ver=0.0.1 json=/tmp/ws/package.json ev=[] cmd=[]
pkg-b p: name=root-ws ver=0.0.1 json=/tmp/ws/package.json ev=[] cmd=[]

bun run --parallel --filter '*' p with 1.4.0 prints the same values; bun run --parallel p inside a single package prints ev=[] cmd=[].

With this change:

pkg-a p: name=pkg-a ver=1.1.1 json=/tmp/ws/packages/a/package.json ev=[p] cmd=[run-script]
pkg-b p: name=pkg-b ver=2.2.2 json=/tmp/ws/packages/b/package.json ev=[p] cmd=[run-script]

npm run p -ws (npm 11) prints the per-package values as well, with npm_command=run.

Walkthrough

Changes

The runtime now creates per-script environments with ScriptEnv. Filtered, multi-package, workspace, and raw commands receive package metadata, lifecycle variables, package paths, and npm_command=run-script. Tests cover propagation, inheritance, and isolation.

Script environment propagation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
ScriptEnv overlay construction src/runtime/cli/run_command.rs	ScriptEnv stores package and lifecycle values, creates child environments, and restores the shared environment map.
Filtered script integration src/runtime/cli/filter_run.rs	Filtered scripts use package- and script-specific ScriptEnv values during process startup.
Multi-run and workspace integration src/runtime/cli/multi_run.rs	Pre, main, post, raw, workspace, and single-package commands receive derived ScriptEnv values.
Environment propagation tests test/cli/run/filter-workspace.test.ts, test/cli/run/multi-run.test.ts	Tests verify package metadata, lifecycle fields, manifest paths, inheritance, and isolation.

Status: reproduced on the 1.4.0 release binary with bun run --filter '*' p in a two-package workspace (both scripts print the root's npm_package_name / npm_package_config_* and an empty npm_lifecycle_event), and the same with bun run --parallel / --sequential. As of bc16adc the runners no longer seed the cwd package at all and each script gets its own package's vars from ScriptEnv; the three new tests (test/cli/run/filter-workspace.test.ts, test/cli/run/multi-run.test.ts) fail on the release binary and pass with this branch, and both full files pass with the debug build. Waiting on CI.

[claude]

Beyond the inline nit, I checked a few things that looked risky and ruled them out: NullDelimitedEnvMap owns its K=V\0 storage (env_loader.rs:1495), so restoring the shared map after create_envp builds the envp does not invalidate what was returned; ScriptEnv::new/with_script Box::from every byte slice, so the workspace loop in multi_run.rs that drops each pkgjson per iteration does not leave the stored ScriptEnv dangling; and the restore loop in create_envp runs even when a put in the overlay loop fails partway, so a failed spawn does not leak one script's vars into the next.

Extended reasoning...

The PR generalizes the existing per-script PATH swap into a ScriptEnv overlay that also carries npm_package_*/npm_lifecycle_*, applied and restored around each envp build. I verified the returned envp owns its buffers, that all ScriptEnv fields are owned copies (no borrows into the per-iteration PackageJSON in the multi_run workspace path), and that the capture-then-restore in create_envp is idempotent for keys the overlay loop never reached on error. The one inline finding is a pre-existing gap (npm_package_config_*), not a regression.

bc16adc closes the remaining npm_package_config_* root→child gap by routing both runners through configure_env_for_multi_script_run (seed_cwd_package: false), so the cwd package's npm_package_* are never seeded into the shared map — each ScriptEnv brings its own. The updated tests now put config: { port: "3000" } on the root and assert pkg-b sees no npm_package_config_port, which covers exactly the case I raised. No further findings from this pass; given the scope (new ScriptEnv abstraction, a new seed_cwd_package knob on configure_env_for_run_impl, and behavior changes in both spawn paths), a human look is still worthwhile.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

bc16adc is the third iteration on this PR and addresses the last open item from my earlier passes. The change now: adds ScriptEnv (per-script overlay of PATH, npm_package_json/name/version, npm_package_config_*, and — for package.json scripts — npm_lifecycle_event/script) with create_envp that overlays into the shared env map, builds the envp, and restores the previous entries; adds configure_env_for_multi_script_run, which calls configure_env_for_run_impl with seed_cwd_package: false so the cwd package's npm_package_* are not seeded into the shared map at all, and puts npm_command=run-script; and rewires both filter_run.rs and multi_run.rs to build a ScriptEnv per package (and .with_script(...) per pre/main/post entry) in place of the old PATH-only swap.

What was verified this pass

• seed_cwd_package: false gates exactly the block at run_command.rs:830-861 (npm_package_name/json/version + npm_package_config_*); npm_execpath and everything before it are still seeded, which is correct since those are per-process.
• The restore loop in create_envp handles both put-back and remove (None => map.remove(key)), so a script's overlay never reaches the next spawn even when the next package lacks that key. Combined with not seeding the root's values, the root→child leakage is closed structurally rather than by post-hoc stripping.
• Both new tests now put config: { port: "3000" } on the workspace root and assert pkg-b (no config) has no npm_package_config_port, exercising the case my 09:05 comment flagged. The filter-workspace test also asserts stderr: "", which addresses CodeRabbit's stderr nit for that file (multi-run.test.ts can't assert empty stderr because status lines go there by design).
• Callers previously discarded configure_env_for_run's DirInfoRef return, so the new -> Result<()> wrapper drops nothing.

Security risks

None identified — this is env-var plumbing for bun run script spawning; no auth, crypto, or untrusted-input parsing is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. The change is well-scoped and thoroughly tested, but it introduces a new abstraction, threads a new bool through configure_env_for_run_impl, and changes user-visible behavior in two separate runners. That is more than a mechanical fix, so I'm not auto-approving.

Other factors

The two comment-cop notices at 09:48 point at a 2-line field comment (filter_run.rs:312, which this PR shortened) and a 2-line doc comment on the new wrapper (run_command.rs:649); neither reads as a workaround justification to me.
