I reviewed this PR and the automated bug-hunting pass found no issues. Because it adds a full ~350-line SSE client with reconnection/parsing logic and several deliberate spec-vs-undici behavior choices, a maintainer should sign off on the API surface and design decisions.
What was reviewed:
- Traced the
#controllertoken through every async continuation (#connect,#onResponse,#readBody,#feed) — a closed or superseded connection cannot mutate state or dispatch. - Walked the line parser against the WHATWG interpretation rules: CR/LF/CRLF (including split across chunks via
#skipLF), BOM viaTextDecoder, single-space stripping after colon,idNUL rejection,retrydigit-only + i32 clamp, trailing partial event discarded. - Checked the
#failpath cancels the response body (viacontroller.abort()) so a non-200 event-stream body isn't left open, and that#reestablishclears#controllerbefore dispatching soclose()inonerrorshort-circuits the reconnect. - Tests follow harness conventions (
port: 0,using,try/finallycleanup, concurrent describe, no sleeps) and cover the fail/reconnect/close-in-handler matrix.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR replaces the 9-line no-op EventSource stub in Bun's built-in undici shim (src/js/thirdparty/undici.js) with a full WHATWG-spec SSE client built on Bun.fetch: ~350 lines implementing the processing model (connect → announce → interpret event stream → reestablish/fail), the event-stream line parser, event handler IDL attributes, and the WebIDL surface (constants on constructor + prototype, enumerable accessors, Symbol.toStringTag). It adds 16 new tests (~480 lines) in test/js/first_party/undici/undici.test.ts and a client-side snippet to docs/guides/http/sse.mdx.
Security risks
Low. No native code; input is server-sent text run through TextDecoder and string slicing, with no eval/dynamic dispatch on server-controlled field names (a plain switch over the four spec-defined fields). retry: is validated as ASCII digits and clamped to 2**31 - 1 before reaching setTimeout, so a malicious server can't force a 1 ms busy loop. The Last-Event-ID header set is wrapped in try/catch so a non-Latin-1 id degrades to reconnecting without the header rather than throwing forever. Headers, URL and MessageEvent come from the Undici.cpp bindings array so user-tampered globals don't reach the shim.
Level of scrutiny
This warrants a maintainer look. It is a new user-facing Web API implementation with explicit design choices called out in the PR description: three deliberate divergences from undici 7.29 (in favor of the spec/browsers), a documented limitation on non-Latin-1 event ids, and the decision to leave the global EventSource unset. The repo's review guidance flags API-surface additions and Node/Web-compat work as needing the situational landing-prs.md sections and maintainer agreement — this is exactly that category, not a mechanical fix.
Other factors
The implementation reads carefully and I did not find defects: the controller-token pattern is applied consistently at every re-entry point after user code or await; #fail() aborts the controller so the unread body is released; #feed bails on readyState === kClosed after each #processLine so a listener calling close() drops the rest of the chunk; per-connection parse state is reset in #readBody on every reconnect. The tests are strong — they await observable conditions rather than sleeping, assert exact event sequences with readyState at each step, exercise CR/LF/CRLF split across chunks and split UTF-8, the three fail cases via it.each, and a spawned subprocess for the unref'd-timer exit behavior. All of that raises confidence, but the size and the API-design surface still put it outside what I'd auto-approve.

I reviewed this PR and the bug-hunting pass found no issues; the three nits from earlier runs (uncaptured globals, unwired onerror in test waiters, freed-port refused-address) are all addressed in 3f54648 and 362d0d7. Because this is a ~400-line new protocol client and user-facing API surface in a built-in module, a human look would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- SSE parser against the HTML spec's interpretation rules — CR/LF/CRLF split across chunks, BOM,
idNUL/commit semantics,retry:clamping, trailing-blank-line dispatch. - Async continuation guards (
#controlleridentity checks) after everyawaitand every user-callback dispatch — close()/reentrancy paths look complete. - 401 challenge /
Authorizationhandling andLast-Event-IDUTF-8 byte-string encoding. - Test hermeticity: all servers are local
port: 0, error events reject awaited promises, subprocess pipes drained concurrently.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Replaces the 9-line no-op EventSource stub in src/js/thirdparty/undici.js with a full SSE client (~380 new lines) built on Bun.fetch, following the HTML SSE processing model. Adds 20 new test cases (~620 lines) in test/js/first_party/undici/undici.test.ts covering shape/validation, stream parsing, chunk boundaries, reconnect/Last-Event-ID/retry, fail cases, redirects, URL credentials, close() reentrancy, handler-attribute semantics, subclass overrides, and the parse-failure ErrorEvent path. Also adds a client example to docs/guides/http/sse.mdx.
Security risks
The Authorization header is derived only from credentials the caller embedded in the URL and is sent only after a 401 challenge; Bun's fetch drops it on cross-origin redirects. retry: is clamped to the i32 range so a hostile server cannot induce a 1ms busy loop. No shell/eval/filesystem surface. The parser operates on decoded strings with bounded per-line state; the one unbounded accumulation (#partialLine/#dataBuffer) is inherent to SSE and routed to #fail with an ErrorEvent if string construction throws. I don't see an injection or auth-bypass vector here.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is new user-facing API in a built-in module that Bun resolves ahead of an installed undici, so any behavior mismatch is observable to every SSE consumer. It implements a network protocol parser and a reconnect state machine with reentrancy from user callbacks. The repo's .claude/docs/landing-prs.md calls out both Node/Web-compat and API-design changes as needing situational review. That places it outside the "simple/mechanical" band for auto-approval.
Other factors
The implementation is thoroughly tested (20 targeted cases plus the PR description's local WPT run at 59/62), the PR author responded to and resolved every prior review thread (comment-cop, CodeRabbit's null-body / withCredentials concerns, and my three nits), and the change is JS-only with no native code. The prior state was a silent-hang stub, so the risk profile is strictly "new feature might have edge-case bugs" rather than "regression in working code." Still, ~1000 lines of new protocol client + tests is well past the threshold where a maintainer should sign off on the API shape (e.g., the deliberate spec-over-undici behavior differences and the decision not to expose a global).

I reviewed this PR across three passes and found no bugs; the three nits I raised earlier (uncaptured globals, unwired onerror → reject in tests, and the freed-port refused-connection test) were all addressed. Because this is a ~380-line implementation of a new user-facing Web API — SSE processing model, reconnection, event-handler attributes, Basic-auth challenge handling — a human look at the overall design is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- SSE parser state machine: CR/LF/CRLF split across chunks, BOM,
id/retry/event/datafield rules, dispatch-buffer reset — matches the WHATWG interpretation rules. - Lifecycle: every async continuation gates on
#controller,close()inside listeners stops dispatch and cancels reconnect,#reestablishvs#failsplit matches the spec's fail-vs-reconnect distinction. - The
response.body === nullandwithCredentialsconcerns raised by CodeRabbit — verified not applicable (200 GET always yields a stream in Bun's fetch; Bun has no ambient credentials forwithCredentialsto gate).

Overview
This PR replaces the 9-line no-op EventSource stub in src/js/thirdparty/undici.js with a full SSE client (~380 new lines) built on Bun.fetch, adds 20 tests (~620 lines) in test/js/first_party/undici/undici.test.ts, and adds a docs section to docs/guides/http/sse.mdx. No native code is touched. The implementation follows the WHATWG SSE processing model: incremental line parser with CR/LF/CRLF handling, data/event/id/retry field interpretation, reconnect-on-stream-end with Last-Event-ID, fail-on-bad-status/content-type, event-handler IDL attributes via a wrapper listener, super.dispatchEvent so subclass overrides are bypassed, and URL-credential Basic auth on 401.
Security risks
Low. The only security-adjacent piece is basicAuthorizationFor, which derives a Basic header from URL-embedded credentials and sends it after a 401 challenge. The credentials come from the caller's own URL; Bun's fetch already drops Authorization on cross-origin redirects. Last-Event-ID is server-provided and echoed back as UTF-8 bytes in a header value, which is standard SSE behavior and not an injection vector (the Headers constructor validates). No auth/crypto/permissions code paths, no native memory, no untrusted-length allocations.
Level of scrutiny
This is a new user-facing API implementation, not a bug fix or config tweak. It is self-contained (one JS module, one test file, one docs page) and exceptionally well-tested — 20 targeted tests plus WPT and Node-differential verification described in the PR body — but it encodes a lot of spec detail (line-ending edge cases, id-with-NUL, retry clamping, handler-attribute semantics, close-inside-listener) that benefits from a maintainer's eye on the design choices, particularly the deliberate deviations from undici 7.29 listed in the description and whether unref()ing the reconnect timer is the desired process-lifetime behavior.
Other factors
I left three inline nits on earlier revisions (capturing AbortController/TextDecoder/Event/setTimeout at module load; wiring onerror → reject in test waits; using 127.0.0.1:1 instead of a stop-then-reuse port). All three were addressed in 3f54648 and 362d0d7, and every review thread on the PR is resolved. CodeRabbit's two findings (null response.body, withCredentials no-op) were investigated and correctly withdrawn. The bug-hunting system found nothing on this pass. Given the size and that it defines new API surface, I'm deferring rather than shadow-approving.
require("undici").EventSource was an empty EventTarget subclass: constructing
it opened no connection, never fired an event, and had no url, readyState or
close(). Replace it with a Server-Sent Events client built on Bun.fetch,
following the WHATWG processing model: 200 + text/event-stream announces the
connection, anything else fails it, a closed or dropped stream reconnects
after the retry interval with Last-Event-ID (sent as UTF-8 bytes), a 401 is
answered with credentials embedded in the URL, and close() aborts the fetch or
the pending reconnect. The parser handles CR/LF/CRLF line endings and UTF-8
sequences split across chunks; an exception while parsing fails the
connection with an ErrorEvent instead of leaving the stream open unread.
on{open,message,error} are event handler attributes, the constants are
read-only on the constructor and the prototype, and events are fired through
EventTarget.prototype rather than through overridable methods. The globals the
class uses are captured when the module loads.

I reviewed this PR and the bug-hunting pass found nothing this round; the three earlier nits (module-load capture of AbortController/TextDecoder/etc., wiring onerror to reject in the redirect/split-chunk/first-message waits, and swapping the freed-port dance for 127.0.0.1:1) are all addressed in the current diff. Given this is ~380 lines of new user-facing API surface (a full SSE client with reconnect, streaming parser, handler attributes, and 401/Basic-auth handling), a human look would still be worthwhile before landing.
What was reviewed:
- SSE processing model against the WHATWG spec — status/content-type gating, CR/LF/CRLF across chunk boundaries,
id/retry/event/datafield handling, last-event-id commit semantics, and the fail vs. reestablish split all trace correctly. - Async-continuation guards — every path that resumes after
await/.thenre-checksthis.#controller === controllerbefore touching state or dispatching, soclose()mid-flight is inert. - URL-credential Basic auth — percent-decoded, only sent after a 401, and Bun's fetch drops
Authorizationon cross-origin redirects, so no unintended credential leak. - Tests — hermetic (
port: 0, no network),errorwired to reject the awaited promises, subprocess pipes drained concurrently, cleanup viausing/finally.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Replaces the 9-line no-op EventSource stub in src/js/thirdparty/undici.js with a spec-following SSE client (~380 lines) built on Bun.fetch, plus 20 new tests (~620 lines) in test/js/first_party/undici/undici.test.ts and a short doc addition to docs/guides/http/sse.mdx. No native code touched.
Security risks
The only credential path is URL-embedded userinfo → Authorization: Basic after a 401 challenge. The header is only added once challenged, is derived from the constructor URL (already parsed), and Bun's fetch strips Authorization on cross-origin redirects. Last-Event-ID is server-provided data reflected back as a header; it's UTF-8-byte-encoded and set via the captured Headers constructor, so no injection vector. No filesystem, process, or eval surface.
Level of scrutiny
Medium-high. This is pure JS in a third-party shim, so no memory-safety or GC concerns, but it is a new user-facing Web API with a stateful reconnect loop and a hand-written streaming parser. The PR description documents WPT results (59/62, the 3 misses are environmental) and a differential run against Node 26 + undici 7.29, and the test suite is thorough — but new API surface of this size in a compat shim warrants a maintainer's eye on the deliberate spec-vs-undici divergences called out in the description.
Other factors
This PR has been through three prior automated review rounds; each round's feedback (comment length, global capture at module load, onerror→reject wiring in tests, refused-port hermeticity) was applied and is visible in the current diff. CodeRabbit's two findings (null response.body on 200, withCredentials not wired) were both correctly rebutted and withdrawn. The bug hunter found nothing this run. All inline threads on the PR are resolved.
Problem
import { EventSource } from "undici"resolves to Bun's built-inundicishim even when the npm package is installed, and the shim'sEventSourcewas a 9 line emptyEventTargetsubclass (src/js/thirdparty/undici.js:375on main).open,messageorerror;urlandreadyStateareundefinedandcloseis not a function. Nothing warns, so SSE clients silently hang.EventSourceglobal either (Node 26 has none by default), so the undici import is the way to consume SSE in Bun today. Related: Implement EventSource #8474.Fix
Bun.fetch, the same way undici implements its own (undici/lib/web/eventsource). No native code changes; the only new dependency inside the shim isvalidateNumber.text/event-stream(essence compared case-insensitively, parameters ignored):readyStatebecomesOPEN,openfires, the body is parsed incrementally.readyStatebecomesCLOSED, oneerrorfires, no reconnect (#fail).readyStatebecomesCONNECTING,errorfires, a new fetch of the constructor URL is made after the reconnection time (#reestablish); like the spec's reconnect step and undici, a redirect, permanent or not, is followed per connection and never changes the URL that is reconnected to. The reconnect timer is unref'd, as in undici, so a dead server does not keep a process alive.Last-Event-IDis sent as the id's UTF-8 bytes (utf8ByteString): header values are byte strings, so passing the id itself would send Latin-1 and could not carry ids outside it at all. This is what WPTformat-field-id*.any.jschecks.http://user:pass@host/events) answers a 401 withAuthorization: Basic, invisibly to the caller, and keeps sending it on later requests, as browsers and undici do (basicAuthorizationFor,#challenged). Bun's fetch already drops the header on cross-origin redirects.close()aborts the in-flight fetch (which releases the socket) or cancels the pending reconnect.

The implementation registers one wrapper listener per attribute and calls the current value through it, which is whyonmessage = fnplusaddEventListener("message", fn)invokesfntwice, as in browsers.Differential script output, Node 26.3.0 + undici 7.29.0 vs this branch
Only the three lines below differ; the remaining output (request headers, parse fixtures, fail cases, redirect origin, handler attribute semantics, socket release on close) is identical.
Original report,
bun -ewith no server listening on the port, now prints the same as Node:Rebased onto main twice, after #39778 (null bodies for 204/205/304/HEAD) and #39917 (streamed request bodies) landed; both times the only conflict was the import block of the undici test file. The review rounds were squashed into one commit.
#readBodyonly runs for a 200, so the null body that a 204 now has does not reach it; the 204 case in the fail table passes on the rebased build.Earlier revision of this PR: the first push documented "ids outside Latin-1 reconnect without Last-Event-ID" as a limitation and ignored URL credentials, routed events through
this.dispatchEvent, and let a parse exception escape as an unhandled rejection; the second push fixed all four.[review] gate passed · iteration 0 · 3 files touched
