crash_handler: attribute a crash inside a native module to that module

[robobun]

Problem

• A fault inside a third-party native library is reported as a Bun crash: This indicates a bug in Bun, not your code. The trace string does not mark it, so bun.report groups it with Bun's own crashes.
• StackLine::from_address (src/crash_handler/lib.rs) named the image only on Windows. macOS encoded such a frame as unknown. Linux encoded it as an offset into bun, so bun.report symbolized it wrongly.

Fix

• from_address returns Bun, System or ThirdParty on every platform. Non-bun frames carry their name, as on Windows.
• native_module_of_crash takes the innermost frame that is inside an image. Bun code means a Bun crash. A third-party image is named. System frames and frames outside every image (JIT) are skipped: a fault inside memcpy belongs to its caller.
• A named module changes the banner (wording is open) and sets a new native_module_crash feature bit. bun:ffi dlopen() counts a new ffi_dlopen bit, next to process_dlopen, and cc() counts ffi_cc.
• Verified: test/cli/run/run-crash-handler.test.ts, three new tests with a C fixture. Other suites are in the notes.

Background

• A trace string is the bun.report/... URL a crash prints and uploads. A frame is a VLQ offset that bun.report remaps. A frame that starts with VLQ 1 carries an image name instead. bun.report decodes that already.
• Feature bits are two VLQs in the trace string. features.json names them per build, and bun.report makes each one a Sentry tag.
• crash_handler.segfaultAtPc(pc) reports a fault with frame 0 at pc. ASAN builds install no fault handlers, so the tests need it.
• crash_handler: name the image of a foreign frame in the trace string on macOS and Linux #39806 adds only the macOS and Linux names. This PR includes that change, so one of the two should land.

Notes

Sentry examples: BUN-2PYE has 7 frames of Intel's igvk64.dll under 13 frames of metis-native.win32-x64-msvc.node. igvk64.dll lives under System32\DriverStore, so it is skipped and the .node is named. BUN-4BBC has 13 frames of godot.windows.template_release.x86_64.llvm.dll under NapiClass_ConstructorFunction: named. BUN-2MPD has opentui.dll reached through bun:ffi: named, and ffi_dlopen is set.

Repro, before:

cc -shared -fPIC -o crash.so -xc - <<<'void f(){*(volatile int*)0=1;}'
bun -e 'import {dlopen} from "bun:ffi"; dlopen("./crash.so",{f:{args:[],returns:"void"}}).symbols.f()'

prints the generic banner, and bun.report's lib/parser.ts decodes frame 0 of the uploaded trace as {address: 0x10ff, object: "bun"}. After this PR, the same parser decodes the two hook tests on this container as:

["fixture.so", "bun", "bun", "bun", "bun", "bun", "?", "bun", ...]   bits 60 (ffi_dlopen) and 61 (native_module_crash), module banner
["libc.so.6",  "bun", "bun", "bun", "bun", "bun", "?", "bun", ...]   bit 60 only, generic banner

Feature bit numbers: #40270 took bit 59 for cross_compiled_bytecode while this PR was open, so after the rebase ffi_dlopen is 60, native_module_crash 61 and ffi_cc 62. bun.report names a bit through features.json, so the numbers do not matter to it, and the tests read them from getFeatureData().

Grouping itself is a bun.report change: its buildFingerprint (backend/sentry.ts) uses remapped bun frames only. With this PR it can add the first named frame to the fingerprint when the native_module_crash tag is present. No bun.report deploy is needed for this PR: named frames are already decoded on every platform (Windows has sent them for a long time), and new feature names arrive through features.json. unsupported_uv_function is the existing precedent for a feature bit set while crashing.

Banner, release builds:

oh no: Bun has crashed inside the native module "crash.so".

This is most likely a bug in that module, not in Bun.
To send a redacted crash report to Bun's team,
please file a GitHub issue using the link below:

Debug builds print Crashed inside native module: <name> above the symbolized trace instead. The bundler native plugin and unsupported libuv function banners keep priority. Action::Dlopen (Crashed while loading native module: ...) is unchanged. A Rust panic! goes through rust_panic_hook, whose frame 0 is always bun code, and keeps the old banner.

Classification details:

• System on Windows: the module path is under the system directory (GetSystemDirectoryW, which holds DriverStore too) or under <Windows directory>\WinSxS, compared case-insensitively, because GetModuleFileNameW returns C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll next to C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll. The first version of this PR counted the whole Windows directory. The Windows CI agents run as a service, so their temp directory is C:\Windows\Temp, the fixture DLL was built there, and it was classified as system. That is also where a standalone executable that runs as a service extracts its embedded addons to, so the rule was wrong, not only the test. Bun itself is still the module whose path equals the executable path.
• System on macOS: /usr/lib/ or /System/, which includes the dyld shared cache. Bun itself is still dyld image 0. The image name comes from _dyld_get_image_name.
• System on ELF targets: the directories /lib, /lib32, /lib64, /libx32, /libexec and the same five under /usr (this covers /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and Alpine's /lib/ld-musl-*), the vDSO (no path), Android's /system/ and /apex/, and the libc family by basename for Nix and Guix, where libc lives in a store path. /usr/local/lib is not a system directory. Bun itself is the first object dl_iterate_phdr reports (LoadedModule::is_main_program); glibc, musl and bionic all report the main program first, and what they put in its name differs.
• A library that user code loads from a system directory (/usr/lib/libpython3.so through bun:ffi) stays system. That errs towards reporting a Bun crash. Its frames are named either way.
• Names are capped at 64 bytes and reduced to [A-Za-z0-9._+-] on every platform, Windows included. bun.report reads a name back by character count, and the Windows reporter puts the URL inside a single-quoted PowerShell string. The trace string buffer grows from 1 KB to 2 KB so that 20 named frames fit; report() copies it into 4 KB buffers.
• The classifier does one image lookup per frame and stops at the first decision. The encoder already does the same lookup for every frame.

ffi_cc (BUN-4NF4 is a fault under JSC::ffiCall with three image-less frames above it): code from cc() lives in anonymous memory, so its frames encode as _ and the crash is reported as a Bun crash. The bit is what tells such a report apart from a crash in bun:ffi itself. The fourth test pins that: frame 0 decodes as ?, ffi_cc is set, native_module_crash is not. It gets the code address from the C function itself because .ptr of a cc() function is the pointer bit-cast to a double (JSFFIFunction.cpp:81, pre-existing, reported separately).

Tests:

• The three module tests share crash-in-native-module-fixture.c, built with compileFixture like ffi.test.js, and skip when there is no C compiler. The two hook tests run everywhere; the real-fault test skips under ASAN, where Bun installs no fault handlers, and runs on the release lanes. It runs bun under ulimit -c 0 because the process dies from the re-raised SIGSEGV, and the core-dump-upload lanes report the core file it would otherwise leave. All three also pass on a Windows x64 debug build, both with the fixture in the user's temp directory and with TEMP=C:\Windows\Temp like CI.
• The system-library case takes the address of libc's labs (kernel32's Sleep on Windows) from inside the fixture. bun does not import labs, so in bun's non-PIE executable that address cannot be a PLT stub inside bun.
• On POSIX the hook seeds the walk from its own frame pointer, so the tests also check that the callers still encode as bun and never under the executable's file name. On Windows the walk needs a fault CONTEXT, so the hook's trace is frame 0 alone.
• On the released 1.4.0, the real-fault test fails on the banner and the hook tests fail because the hook does not exist.
• Also run here: the rest of run-crash-handler.test.ts, crash-report-command-char.test.ts, test/internal/macos-cross-config.test.ts (pins the features.json parser against the new list), all of test/internal/source-lints/, and cargo check -p bun_crash_handler for the darwin, windows (x64 and arm64), android, freebsd and musl targets. test/js/bun/ffi/ffi.test.js passes except integer identities ... int64_t, a 32k-iteration loop that exceeds its 5 s timeout under this ASAN debug build and does not touch the one-line change in FFI::open.

Status: head is 4dcc1a3, the branch rebased onto main after #40270 took feature bit 59. ffi_dlopen is now bit 60, native_module_crash 61 and ffi_cc 62; nothing reads the numbers directly. CI on this head (build 106760) finished with 179 jobs green and two red, both failures that main has too and that are reported for triage: test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts on Debian 13 x64 ASAN (a LeakSanitizer report for node_fs_binding::Binding) and test/js/web/url/url.test.ts on macOS x64 (TypeError: Invalid URL in the Unicode 16 IDNA test). The previous heads were green except for one unrelated lane each: test/js/node/http2/h2-conformance.test.ts on macOS aarch64 (also on main, reported for triage) and test/js/bun/s3/s3.test.ts on Alpine x64 (S3Error: ServiceUnavailable from Cloudflare R2). This PR does not touch node:fs, URL, http2 or S3. The crash-handler suites passed on every lane, every GitHub check was green, and all review threads are resolved.

Reproduced with the crash.so repro from the report on the released 1.4.0 (Linux x64): generic banner, and frame 0 of the uploaded trace decodes as a bun address. With this branch the banner names the module, the trace carries the module as frame 0 and the native_module_crash and ffi_dlopen bits (decoded with bun.report's own parser). The first CI run found that the Windows agents build the fixture in C:\Windows\Temp, which the first rule counted as system; the rule now counts System32 and WinSxS only. Details in the PR description.

Decisions left to a maintainer: the banner wording, and which of this PR and #39806 lands (they conflict).

Walkthrough

The crash handler now classifies loaded images as Bun, system, or third-party, attributes native-module crashes, records analytics, and reports module names. New testing APIs, platform helpers, a native fixture, and cross-platform tests validate trace output and feature flags.

Changes

Native crash attribution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Loaded image classification src/crash_handler/lib.rs, src/sys/lib.rs, src/sys/windows/mod.rs	Stack frames classify Bun, system, and third-party images on Windows, macOS, and ELF platforms. Module names use bounded storage and platform-specific path detection.
Crash trace attribution and reporting src/crash_handler/lib.rs, src/analytics/lib.rs, src/runtime/ffi/ffi_body.rs	Crash traces use a shared 2 KiB capacity, encode sanitized module names, select third-party modules, emit module-specific messages, and record ffi_dlopen, ffi_cc, and native_module_crash analytics.
Crash testing APIs src/js/internal-for-testing.ts, src/runtime/api/crash_handler_jsc.rs	The crash-handler testing API exposes feature metadata, DLL faults, and program-counter-specific synthetic faults.
Native crash validation test/cli/run/crash-in-native-module-fixture.c, test/cli/run/run-crash-handler.test.ts	A portable native fixture and end-to-end tests validate third-party attribution, system-library handling, trace decoding, feature flags, and real native crashes.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. It touches the crash handler across all three platforms, adds user-facing banner wording the description flags as open, and overlaps with #39806 (one of the two should land) — a human should sign off on those.

What was reviewed:

• StackLine refactor to Object::{Bun,System,ThirdParty} and native_module_of_crash — the innermost non-system, non-JIT frame decides; system frames are skipped so memcpy is attributed to its caller.
• Per-platform system-library classification: GetSystemWindowsDirectoryW (case-insensitive, empty-directory guard), macOS /usr/lib/+/System/, ELF /lib*+/usr/lib*+vDSO+libc-family basenames; is_main_program via first dl_iterate_phdr entry.
• Trace-string encoding: 64-byte name cap, ASCII sanitization to [A-Za-z0-9._+-] for URL/PowerShell safety, buffer bump 1 KB→2 KB fits under report()'s 4 KB copy.
• New feature bits 59/60 stay under the u64 dense-index assertion; ffi_dlopen counter increments after LoadLibrary/dlopen succeeds.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Nine files, ~400 net lines. The core change is in src/crash_handler/lib.rs: StackLine::from_address now classifies every frame's image as Bun, System, or ThirdParty on all platforms (previously only Windows named non-bun frames; macOS dropped them, Linux mis-encoded them as bun offsets). A new native_module_of_crash walks the trace inside-out and, if the first classified frame is third-party, changes the banner and sets a native_module_crash feature bit. Supporting changes: two new analytics feature bits (src/analytics/lib.rs), a _dyld_get_image_name FFI decl and LoadedModule::is_main_program on the ELF walker (src/sys/lib.rs), GetSystemWindowsDirectoryW wrapper (src/sys/windows/mod.rs), a segfaultAtPc test hook (src/runtime/api/crash_handler_jsc.rs, internal-for-testing.ts), an ffi_dlopen counter increment in FFI::open, a C fixture, and three new tests in run-crash-handler.test.ts.

Security risks

None identified. The crash handler runs post-fault with no external input beyond loaded-image paths from the OS loader. Image names are capped at 64 bytes and sanitized to [A-Za-z0-9._+-] before entering the trace URL, which addresses the PowerShell single-quote injection and URL-syntax concerns the description raises. The new segfaultAtPc hook is gated behind bun:internal-for-testing. No auth, crypto, or permission surfaces.

Level of scrutiny

High. The crash handler is last-resort infrastructure: a bug here loses or corrupts crash reports rather than surfacing as a normal test failure, and it must not itself panic (the wrapping-cast comments and BoundedArray writes acknowledge this). The change spans three platform-specific code paths (Windows PE, Mach-O, ELF), each with its own system-library heuristic that encodes judgment calls (Nix/Guix libc basenames, Android /apex/, case-insensitive C:\Windows matching). The PR also changes the trace-string wire format in a way bun.report must already handle — the description argues this is backward-compatible, and the test's VLQ decoder confirms the encoding, but a maintainer should confirm the bun.report side.

Other factors

The description explicitly marks the banner wording as "open", which is a request for human input on user-facing copy. The PR overlaps with #39806 and the author states "one of the two should land" — that coordination needs a maintainer. The system-library classification heuristics (which paths count as "system" on each OS, whether /usr/local/lib is excluded, whether a user-loaded /usr/lib/libpython3.so should stay system) are policy decisions that err toward reporting a Bun crash; a maintainer should agree with that trade-off. Test coverage is thorough (real fault + two hook tests, feature-bit and frame-encoding assertions via a mirrored VLQ decoder, compileFixture skip when no C compiler), and the description documents cross-target cargo check runs, but the Windows and macOS paths can only be fully validated by CI.

[robobun]

c17882f adds an ffi_cc feature bit and a fourth test. Code compiled by bun:ffi cc() runs from anonymous memory, so a fault in it has no image to be attributed to and is still reported as a Bun crash (BUN-4NF4 has this shape: three image-less frames above JSC::ffiCall). The bit is what tells such a report apart from a crash in bun:ffi itself. 5998ffe shortens the bit's comment. While writing the test I found that .ptr of a cc() function is the pointer bit-cast to a double (JSFFIFunction.cpp:81); that is pre-existing and reported separately, the test reads the address from the C function instead.

I reviewed this PR and the automated bug hunt found no issues. Deferring to a human because the author explicitly left two decisions open for a maintainer (the banner wording and the conflict with #39806), and the change touches platform-specific crash-handler paths on all three OSes.

What was reviewed:

• Image classification on Windows/macOS/ELF: checked that Object::Bun detection matches the pre-existing self-image checks and that non-bun frames now carry names on every platform.
• native_module_of_crash: verified it skips System and image-less frames, stops at the first Bun frame, and only sets the feature bit before the trace string is encoded.
• Buffer sizing: confirmed TRACE_STRING_CAPACITY (2 KB) fits 20 × 64-byte names plus VLQs, and report() copies into 4 KB buffers.
• segfaultAtPc validation rejects NaN/negatives/non-integers/2^64 (exclusive bound), and the ELF /lib* prefix rule now requires directory boundaries.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes the crash handler to attribute crashes inside third-party native modules (Node-API addons, bun:ffi libraries) to those modules instead of reporting them as Bun bugs. It touches src/crash_handler/lib.rs (image classification, banner, trace-string encoding), src/sys/lib.rs and src/sys/windows/mod.rs (loader introspection helpers), src/analytics/lib.rs (three new feature bits), src/runtime/ffi/ffi_body.rs (feature-bit increments), src/runtime/api/crash_handler_jsc.rs and src/js/internal-for-testing.ts (a new segfaultAtPc test hook), plus a C fixture and four new tests in run-crash-handler.test.ts. Net ~450 lines added across 9 files.

Security risks

None identified. The new code runs only inside the crash handler after a fault has already occurred, reads loader metadata (dl_iterate_phdr, _dyld_get_image_name, GetModuleFileNameW), and writes to bounded stack buffers. Module names are sanitized to [A-Za-z0-9._+-] and capped at 64 bytes before going into the trace URL, and the Windows reporter's PowerShell single-quoted string cannot be escaped by that character set. The new segfaultAtPc hook is gated behind bun:internal-for-testing.

Level of scrutiny

High. The crash handler is last-resort infrastructure: a bug here can turn a reportable crash into a silent hang, a double-panic, or a misattributed report. The change adds per-platform classification heuristics (what counts as a "system" library on Windows/macOS/ELF, including Nix/Guix and Android special cases) that are policy decisions affecting how user crashes are triaged in Sentry. It also changes user-facing crash-banner text.

Other factors

• The author explicitly flagged two open decisions for a maintainer: the banner wording ("wording is open") and the conflict with #39806, which touches the same StackLine::from_address code. A human needs to decide which lands.
• All prior review threads (CodeRabbit's ELF directory-boundary and segfaultAtPc validation findings, plus the comment-cop lint) are resolved with follow-up commits, and CI passed on d6f1dbe.
• Test coverage is thorough (four new tests covering third-party attribution, system-library skip, real fault, and cc() anonymous memory), but the classification heuristics themselves (WinSxS, /usr/local/lib exclusion, libc-family basename matching for Nix) are judgment calls a maintainer should sign off on.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and the automated bug hunt found no issues. Deferring to a human reviewer: the author has explicitly flagged two maintainer decisions (banner wording and the conflict with #39806), and the change is ~400 lines of new cross-platform image-classification logic inside the crash handler.

What was reviewed:

• The Object enum and native_module_of_crash attribution rule, including the skip-system/skip-JIT walk and the 64-byte name cap feeding the 2 KB trace buffer.
• Platform classifiers: ELF /lib*//usr/lib* directory-boundary matching, macOS _dyld_get_image_name lifetime, Windows System32/WinSxS case-insensitive containment and the well_known_directory_w length handling.
• The three open CodeRabbit threads from today were examined: pretty_fmt_rt is documented for exactly this crash-handler call shape (though it may still want an #[allow] like expect.rs has); the ELF main-program .expect("int cast") is the pre-existing bun-frame path just moved under a new guard; and the system-library test's banner + native_module_crash-bit assertions already reject the fixture-misclassification case.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR teaches the crash handler to attribute a fault whose innermost frame lies inside a third-party native module (Node-API addon, bun:ffi library) to that module rather than to Bun. It touches nine files: src/crash_handler/lib.rs gains an Object enum (Bun/System/ThirdParty), per-platform is_system_* classifiers, a native_module_of_crash walk, a new banner branch, and name sanitization for the trace-string encoder; src/sys/lib.rs and src/sys/windows/mod.rs add _dyld_get_image_name, LoadedModule::is_main_program, and GetSystemWindowsDirectoryW wrappers; src/analytics/lib.rs adds three feature bits; src/runtime/ffi/ffi_body.rs counts ffi_dlopen/ffi_cc; src/runtime/api/crash_handler_jsc.rs and internal-for-testing.ts add a segfaultAtPc test hook; and four new tests plus a C fixture land in run-crash-handler.test.ts.

Security risks

Low. The new code runs only inside the crash handler after a fault has already occurred, reads loader-owned image tables, and writes into fixed-size stack buffers (BoundedArray<u8, 64> for names, 2 KB for the trace string). Names are sanitized to [A-Za-z0-9._+-] before URL encoding. The segfaultAtPc hook is gated behind bun:internal-for-testing and validates its argument (NaN/negative/non-integer/≥2^64 rejected). No auth, crypto, or untrusted-input parsing is touched.

Level of scrutiny

High. The crash handler is where every real crash goes; a regression here loses the report entirely. The change adds heuristic path-prefix classification on three platforms with different loader semantics (glibc/musl/bionic dl_iterate_phdr ordering, dyld image indices, GetModuleFileNameW casing), each with its own edge cases the PR description enumerates. The author has explicitly left the banner wording and the #39806 conflict to a maintainer, and there are three unresolved CodeRabbit threads from today. This is well beyond the "simple, mechanical, obvious" bar for auto-approval.

Other factors

CI passed on the pre-rebase head (build 101896) and is running on the current head. The tests are thorough (four new concurrent tests covering third-party attribution, system-library skip, real-fault, and cc() anonymous memory, with a shared C fixture and a VLQ decoder that mirrors bun.report). The three candidate issues raised by finder agents this run — pretty_fmt_rt as a clippy-disallowed method, the .expect("int cast") in the ELF main-program branch, and the system-library test's assertion strength — were each examined by verifiers and not treated as blocking; the first may still want an #[allow(clippy::disallowed_methods)] annotation to match expect.rs, but that is a lint concern, not a correctness bug.

d8f268e addresses the three findings from the full re-review: the banner no longer uses pretty_fmt_rt (this was failing the cargo clippy check), the ELF bun-frame offset encodes as unknown instead of panicking when it does not fit an i32, and the system-library test now asserts that frame 0 is named after libc (ld-musl on Alpine) or kernel32. No behaviour change otherwise; the uncolored banner text is identical.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The author has explicitly flagged two decisions for a maintainer — the banner wording and whether this or #39806 lands (they conflict) — so a human sign-off is needed either way.

What was reviewed:

• StackLine::from_address refactor across Windows/macOS/ELF, the new Object enum, and native_module_of_crash — checked that the ELF main-program branch no longer panics on oversize offsets and that named-frame encoding stays URL-safe and length-bounded.
• is_system_library_elf / is_system_image_windows directory rules — the /lib prefix-match and C:\Windows\Temp misclassifications from earlier revisions are fixed.
• segfaultAtPc input validation — NaN/negative/fractional/2^64 are rejected before the as usize cast.
• Trace-string buffer sizing (2 KB vs the 4 KB report() copies into) and the new feature bits staying within the u64 PackedFeatures bound.

Overview

This PR changes the crash handler to classify each stack frame's containing image as Bun / system / third-party on all three platforms (previously only Windows named non-bun images), and uses that to attribute crashes inside third-party native modules (Node-API addons, bun:ffi libraries) to the module rather than to Bun. It touches src/crash_handler/lib.rs (~250 lines of new classification and encoding logic), adds three feature bits in src/analytics/lib.rs, adds a segfaultAtPc test hook in src/runtime/api/crash_handler_jsc.rs, adds Windows system-directory helpers in src/sys/windows/mod.rs, extends the ELF dl_iterate_phdr walker in src/sys/lib.rs with an is_main_program flag, wires ffi_dlopen/ffi_cc counters into src/runtime/ffi/ffi_body.rs, and adds a C fixture plus four tests in test/cli/run/run-crash-handler.test.ts.

Security risks

None identified. The new code runs only inside the crash handler after a fault, reads loader-owned image metadata, and writes to a fixed-size stack buffer with names capped at 64 bytes and reduced to a URL-safe alphabet. No new external inputs are parsed and no privileged operations are added.

Level of scrutiny

High. The crash handler runs in signal context on POSIX where panics escalate to double-panics and lose the whole report; the classification heuristics are platform-specific (Nix/Guix store paths, musl ld-musl-*, Android /apex/, Windows WinSxS vs C:\Windows\Temp, dyld shared cache) and a misclassification silently changes what bun.report groups and what banner users see. The trace-string encoding change affects every crash report on macOS and Linux. This is not a mechanical change.

Other factors

The author's own status comment explicitly leaves two decisions to a maintainer: the user-facing banner wording ("wording is open") and whether this PR or #39806 lands, since they conflict in StackLine::from_address. That alone means this cannot be auto-approved. CI passed on an earlier revision (build 101896) and the latest push is a rebase plus the ffi_cc addition; all CodeRabbit and comment-cop threads are resolved. The test coverage is thorough (four tests covering third-party attribution, system-library skipping, real faults, and cc() anonymous memory), but the platform-specific classification rules and the banner text warrant a maintainer's eye.

[robobun]

Rebased onto main (3f2e63a). The only conflict was the harness import line in run-crash-handler.test.ts, where #39953 had dropped isASAN that the new tests still use; the real-fault test now also reuses the noCoreCmd helper #39953 moved to file scope. No change to the src side; the three crash-handler suites pass on the rebased build.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The author has explicitly left two decisions open for a maintainer — the banner wording and whether this or #39806 lands (they conflict) — so a human look is still needed.

What was reviewed:

• Object classification and native_module_of_crash walk order (system frames skipped, first Bun/ThirdParty frame decides).
• Per-platform system-library rules: ELF directory prefixes end in /, Windows System32/WinSxS case-insensitive prefix match, macOS /usr/lib/ and /System/.
• Name sanitization to [A-Za-z0-9._+-] and 64-byte cap; 2 KB trace buffer fits 20 named frames and stays under report()'s 4 KB copy buffers.
• segfaultAtPc argument validation (NaN/negative/fractional/2^64 rejected) and the new tests' VLQ decoder against encode_trace_string.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes the crash handler to classify each captured frame's image as Bun, a system library, or a third-party module, on all three platforms (previously only Windows named non-Bun images). When the innermost non-system frame is inside a third-party module, the crash banner names that module instead of blaming Bun, and a new native_module_crash feature bit is set in the trace string. It also adds ffi_dlopen and ffi_cc feature bits, a segfaultAtPc testing hook, ELF is_main_program tracking in dl_iterate_phdr, Windows GetSystemWindowsDirectoryW/GetSystemDirectoryW wrappers, a macOS _dyld_get_image_name binding, a C fixture, and four new tests in run-crash-handler.test.ts.

Security risks

None identified. The new code runs only inside the crash handler after a fault has already occurred, reads loader-owned image metadata, and writes into fixed-capacity BoundedArray buffers. Module names are truncated to 64 bytes and sanitized to a URL-safe alphabet before being embedded in the trace string, which also keeps them safe inside the single-quoted PowerShell command on Windows. segfaultAtPc is gated behind bun:internal-for-testing.

Level of scrutiny

High. The crash handler is production-critical infrastructure that runs in an already-faulted process; a panic here escalates to a double-panic and loses the whole report. The change adds ~200 lines of platform-specific heuristics (what counts as a "system" library on ELF, macOS, and Windows) that affect how every crash is grouped in Sentry, and it changes user-facing wording. The author has iterated through several rounds of automated review (directory-boundary matching, panicking i32 cast, pretty_fmt_rt clippy lint, exclusive f64 bound) and CI passed on d6f1dbe, but the current head is still building.

Other factors

The author explicitly flagged two open maintainer decisions in the PR thread: the banner wording ("wording is open"), and that this PR conflicts with #39806 in StackLine::from_address so one of the two should be chosen. Those alone require human input. Beyond that, the system-library classification heuristics (particularly the ELF LIBC_FAMILY basename prefixes and the Windows System32/WinSxS rule) are policy choices that a maintainer should sign off on, since a misclassification silently changes whether a crash is filed against Bun or against a user's addon.

[robobun]

Rebased onto main again (f507a68). The conflict was with #37181, which removed the unused Display impl for StackLine; this branch had carried an updated copy of that impl, now dropped as well. No other change. The three crash-handler suites pass on the rebased build, and cargo check and clippy are clean on the linux, windows, darwin and freebsd targets.

[robobun]

457c380 is test-only. The review found that the test decoder named un-named trace frames bun, the same string as the executable's basename when the binary is called exactly bun. Under that name two of the new tests contradicted themselves (verified with the debug binary hard-linked as bun). The decoder now uses <bun>, which the encoder cannot produce (it only writes [A-Za-z0-9._+-]). No change to src/.

[claude]

I re-reviewed after 457c380 and didn't find any bugs — the <bun> sentinel fix resolves the earlier assertion collision. Given this is a cross-platform crash-handler change with two decisions the author has flagged for a maintainer (banner wording, and which of this PR vs #39806 lands), a human look is still warranted.

What was reviewed:

• Object::named / write_encoded: bounded 64-byte names, sanitized to [A-Za-z0-9._+-], so the URL and PowerShell-quoted reporter path stay well-formed.
• native_module_of_crash runs inside the fault handler: no heap allocation (BoundedArray on the stack), and the ELF main-program branch's try_from(..).ok()? avoids panicking on oversize offsets.
• is_main_program in find_loaded_module: visited is bumped before the base-address early-return, so a shared object loaded below the executable can't be mistaken for it.
• well_known_directory_w handles the "len == capacity" edge and strips trailing separators before is_inside_directory_w's boundary check.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR extends the crash handler to classify each stack frame's owning image as Bun / system / third-party on all three platforms (previously only Windows named non-bun frames), and uses that to (a) print a different banner when the innermost decidable frame is inside a third-party native module, (b) set a new native_module_crash feature bit in the trace string, and (c) encode module names into every non-bun frame. It also adds ffi_dlopen / ffi_cc feature bits at the bun:ffi entry points, a segfaultAtPc test hook, Windows helpers for the system/WinSxS directories, and four tests driven by a compiled C fixture.

Security risks

None identified. The module name written into the crash URL is capped at 64 bytes and reduced to [A-Za-z0-9._+-], so it cannot break URL parsing or the single-quoted PowerShell command the Windows reporter builds. segfaultAtPc is behind bun:internal-for-testing (release builds gate that on Bun's own CI) and validates its argument before casting. The new FFI declaration _dyld_get_image_name is read-only and its result is null-checked and length-bounded.

Level of scrutiny

High. crash_handler() runs while the process is already faulting — code here must not allocate or panic, and mistakes silently lose crash reports rather than failing tests. The change also adds platform-detection heuristics (system-library directory lists on ELF/macOS/Windows) whose misclassification affects how crashes are grouped in Sentry, and it changes user-facing crash-banner text. The author has explicitly left the banner wording and the conflict with #39806 for a maintainer to decide, which by itself puts this outside auto-approval.

Other factors

All prior review threads (ELF directory-boundary check, exclusive usize::MAX bound, panicking i32 cast in the ELF branch, pretty_fmt_rt clippy failure, system-library assertion strength, and my own "bun"-sentinel collision) are resolved in the current head. CI is green on 180 lanes with one unrelated S3 flake. Tests are thorough and cover glibc/musl/kernel32/libsystem naming, the ffi_cc anonymous-memory case, and the real-fault path on non-ASAN lanes. Nonetheless the size, the crash-handler surface, and the two open maintainer decisions mean this should not be auto-approved.

[robobun]

Rebased onto main (4dcc1a3). The only conflict was the feature list in src/analytics/lib.rs: #40270 took bit 59 for cross_compiled_bytecode, so ffi_dlopen is now 60, native_module_crash 61 and ffi_cc 62. bun.report and the tests name a bit through features.json and getFeatureData(), so nothing else changes. The description's decoded example is updated. run-crash-handler.test.ts and crash-report-command-char.test.ts pass on the rebased build, and cargo check of the touched crates is clean for the windows, darwin and musl targets.
