Macros used to run inside whichever thread was transpiling: the main VM grew a second "macro" event loop and swapped it in around each call, bundler and transpiler-pool threads each spun up a full VM that was never torn down, and completions had to be routed by which of a VM's two loops was current when their work started. Now there is one macro host per process: a thread with its own VM, driven like a worker. A transpiling thread resolves the macro specifier itself, posts a request to the host and waits. The host imports the module, calls the export and, if the result is a promise, attaches reactions instead of blocking, so async macros and top-level await just run on its loop while other requests proceed. The result crosses back as an owned value tree and the caller builds the AST in its own arena. At process exit the host is stopped and its VM torn down through the same path workers use. This removes VirtualMachine's second event loop and all of the routing that existed for it (LoopKind / BunLoopKind, MacroModeGuard, per-loop keep-alive posting), MacroEntryPoint and Bun.registerMacro, and the per-thread macro VMs. Behaviour changes: macros no longer share globals with the program; a macro that throws (or returns an Error) fails the build with the error and its stack at the call site; process.exit() inside a macro is a TypeError; a macro module cannot itself invoke macros; work a macro starts but does not await no longer keeps the process alive; transformSync(code, ctx) hands the macro a structured clone of ctx.

Inline comments:
In `@src/js_parser_jsc/Macro.rs`:
- Around line 845-851: Update the macro-function cache around key and functions
so entries retain their specifier and function_name identity alongside the hash;
on lookup, compare both values and only reuse a matching entry, otherwise fall
through to the import path. Preserve the existing hash for indexing while
preventing collisions from returning the wrong cached function.
- Around line 1183-1186: Bound recursive conversion in Convert::value by
tracking nesting depth across the Array and Object arms, incrementing on entry
and decrementing on exit; return ConvertError::Message once a fixed maximum
depth is exceeded. Ensure the same limit is enforced by materialize so deeply
nested macro results produce a diagnostic instead of overflowing the stack.
- Around line 728-740: Update the macro VM startup path around
VirtualMachine::init and MacroHost::get_or_start so initialization failures
publish an error through ready before the worker exits, instead of panicking
while leaving waiters blocked. Make get_or_start propagate the unavailable-host
state using the existing startup_error pattern, and have MacroContext::call
report a build error when no host is returned.
- Around line 853-882: Update the req binding in start to derive a shared
reference from request, matching imported and call, since start only reads
request fields while fail, call, and promise.then may mutate through the raw
pointer.
- Around line 1252-1277: Update the DOMWrapper branch of Tag::Private to return
the same ConvertError::Message as the fallback _ arm when the value is not a
supported Response/Request body, Blob, ResolveMessage, or BuildMessage. Preserve
the existing conversions and ensure unsupported DOM wrappers no longer fall
through to an empty string.
In `@src/js_parser/lib.rs`:
- Line 71: Update the affected documentation comments to list MacroContext’s
actual fields: transpiler, javascript_object, and bump; remove the outdated
remap and resolver references, while noting that remap is obtained through
transpiler.options.macro_remap if the comment describes access to it.
In `@src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp`:
- Line 406: Update the call sites using Bun__VM__isMacroVM to validate the
bunVM(...) result before invoking it, ensuring null is never passed to the Rust
export. Preserve existing behavior for valid VirtualMachine instances and avoid
changing the export contract unless necessary.
In `@src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.h`:
- Around line 432-437: Add a sentinel as the final entry of the
promise-functions enum and use it in a compile-time static_assert to verify
promiseFunctionsSize matches the enum count. Keep m_thenables sized with the
existing promiseFunctionsSize + 1 contract and ensure the assertion catches any
future enum additions without updating the constant.
In `@src/jsc/VM.rs`:
- Around line 69-74: Mark VM::hold_api_lock_for_thread as unsafe to encode that
callers must own the VM and destroy it while retaining the API lock; preserve
its current documentation as the # Safety section and update
WebWorker::thread_main to call it within an unsafe context.
In `@test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts`:
- Around line 276-277: Update the affected subprocess tests to keep draining
stderr without asserting it is exactly empty; compare only the required lines,
then assert exitCode last. Apply this to each identified expect block in
macro-test.test.ts, including the assertions around the existing stderr
handling.
In `@test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js`:
- Around line 4483-4486: Update the transformSync assertion around the folded
check to require output evidence that the TypeScript type annotation was
removed, rather than accepting the original “1 + 2” input expression; preserve
the expected result as transformed=true other=601 and keep the other
module-value assertion unchanged.

🟣 Pre-existing: HostState::functions (keyed by specifier NUL export) and the host VM's module registry are process-lifetime with no invalidation hook, so under bun --hot / bake dev server, editing a macro file re-runs the stale body until restart. This is not a regression — the old vm.macros / vm.macro_entry_points / per-transpiler MacroMap were also never cleared by hot reload — and bun build --watch / bun --watch re-exec so are unaffected. Since this PR already updates docs/bundler/macros.mdx for the new architecture, a one-line note there that macro edits require a restart under --hot would be a natural place to say so; wiring a MacroInvalidate task to the host is a reasonable follow-up but out of scope here.
Extended reasoning...
What the finding is
HostState (Macro.rs:~975) caches loaded macro functions in functions: RefCell<HashMap<Box<[u8]>, Strong>>, keyed by specifier NUL export. On each MacroRequest, HostState::start() checks this map first and, on a hit, calls the cached Strong directly — never re-importing the module. On a miss it calls JSModuleLoader::import_ptr, which goes through the host VM's own JSC module registry (also never cleared). The macro host thread is started once via HOST.get_or_init() and stopped only at Teardown::MainThreadExit (via stop_macro_host) or by bun build before it exits. Nothing in hot_reloader.rs or bake/dev_server/mod.rs posts anything to the host to evict a functions entry or clear the host global's module registry.
So under bun --hot or bake's dev server, if the user edits a macro module and a dependent is re-transpiled, the re-transpile posts a MacroRequest whose start() finds the stale function in self.functions and re-runs the OLD macro body. The user sees no effect until restart.
Why this is pre-existing, not a regression
I verified the pre-PR behaviour: macros were cached at three levels, none of which VirtualMachine::reload() (the --hot handler) ever cleared:
MacroContext.macros: ArrayHashMap<i32, Macro>on the transpiler —MacroContext::calldidself.macros.get_or_put(hash), and onfound_existingskippedMacro::initentirely.vm.macro_entry_points: ArrayHashMap<i32, *mut c_void>— populated byload_macro_entry_point, never cleared.vm.macros: ArrayHashMap<i32, JSValue>— the protected callback JSValue registered byBun.registerMacro.reload()callsself.global().reload()which clears the JSC module registry, but a protected JSValue survives that;Runner::run_asyncfetched it directly fromvm.macros[id].
hot_reloader.rs had (and has) zero references to any of macros, macro_entry_points, or the macro context — grepping confirms this both before and after the PR. So on --hot reload, the old code hit MacroContext.macros[hash].found_existing == true, skipped module reload, and called the stale protected callback. Observable behaviour is unchanged.
Additionally, bun build --watch and runtime bun --watch are unaffected: exit_or_watch's watch branch parks and lets the watcher thread exit the process (build_command.rs:~1171), and VirtualMachine::reload's HotReload::Watch arm calls bun_core::reload_process (execve). Each rebuild is a fresh process with a fresh macro host.
Addressing the refutation
The refutation argues this is a feature request, not a bug this PR introduces or should block on. I agree — that is precisely why this is filed as pre_existing. REVIEW.md's "fix the whole class in the same PR" applies to sibling sites of the same fix, and this PR fixes hot-reload invalidation nowhere, so there is no "class" to complete. REVIEW.md's "cache keys cover every input that shapes the output" is about false-hit correctness (same key, semantically different input), not missing file-watcher integration. Wiring proper invalidation — a new task type posted to the host, watcher integration to know which macro-module files (and their transitive imports on the host VM) changed, host-side module-registry eviction, and tests — is a substantial feature, not a same-PR obligation for an architectural change titled "run every macro on one dedicated VM thread".
Step-by-step proof
- User runs
bun --hot index.ts.index.tshasimport { f } from "./m.ts" with { type: "macro" }; console.log(f());andm.tshasexport const f = () => 1;. - First transpile:
MacroContext::call→MacroHost::get_or_start(spawns the host thread) → postsMacroRequest{specifier: "/abs/m.ts", function_name: "f"}. On the host,HostState::startfinds no cache entry,import_ptr("/abs/m.ts")loads the module,imported()insertsStrong(f)intoself.functions["/abs/m.ts\0f"], calls it, answersMacroValue::Number(1.0). Program prints1. - User edits
m.tstoexport const f = () => 2;and saves. - Watcher fires;
hot_reloader.rsposts aWatchReloadTask;VirtualMachine::reloadswaps the main global, clears the main VM's module registry, and re-runsindex.ts. Nothing touchesHOSTor posts to the host VM. - Re-transpile of
index.tsreachesMacroContext::callagain → posts a newMacroRequestwith the same specifier/export. On the host,HostState::startcomputeskey = "/abs/m.ts\0f", finds the cachedStrongfrom step 2, and calls it. Even without that cache,import_ptrwould return the host VM's cached namespace for/abs/m.ts— its registry was never cleared either. - Program prints
1, not2.
Under the old code, step 5 would instead hit self.macros.get_or_put(hash) with found_existing = true (step 2 populated it), skip Macro::init, and Runner::run_async would fetch the old protected callback from vm.macros[id] — same result.
Impact and remediation
Impact is limited to the intersection of (a) bun --hot or bake dev server, (b) the macro file itself being edited (editing a macro-using file works fine), and (c) macros being used at all. This is a niche developer-loop annoyance, not a correctness or safety issue in shipped output.
Since this PR already updates docs/bundler/macros.mdx to describe the new one-VM architecture, that would be the natural place for a one-line note ("editing a macro module requires restarting the process under --hot; watch modes that re-exec are unaffected"). Wiring invalidation — e.g. a MacroInvalidate(specifier) task posted to the host that removes matching functions entries and evicts the module from the host VM's registry — is a reasonable follow-up issue.

…0700) ### Problem - A macro that returns `Response.json(...)`, a `fetch()` of a JSON endpoint, or a `Blob` typed `application/json; charset=utf-8` is inlined as a base64 `data:` URL string (`"data:application/json;charset=utf-8;base64,eyJhIjoxfQ=="`) instead of the parsed object. Same for a plain `application/json` header, because the Response to Blob step normalizes it to `application/json;charset=utf-8`. - `expr_from_blob` (`src/js_parser_jsc/Macro.rs:1058`) compares the raw content type with `== b"application/json"` and `starts_with(b"text/")`. Any parameter (`;charset=utf-8`) misses every branch and falls through to the data URL arm. The Zig code used `MimeType.init(...)` and `category.isTextLike()`. The Rust port replaced those with the byte compares. ### Fix - `expr_from_blob` calls `MimeType::init(content_type, false, None)` and branches on `mime_type.category`: `Json` parses the body, `is_text_like()` inlines a string, everything else stays a data URL. `MimeType::init` strips parameters. It is what `Body.rs` and `Blob.rs` already use to classify a blob type, so the macro now agrees with the runtime. - Adds `Category::is_text_like()` to `src/http_types/MimeType.rs`: javascript, html, text, css, json. This is the set the pre-port code used. `src/CLAUDE.md` already documents the method. - Adds `bun_http_types` to the `bun_js_parser_jsc` dependencies (Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock). - Verified: `test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts` (new test, fails on 1.4.1 with the data URL output, passes with this change). Also ran the rest of that file, `transpiler.test.js`, the macro regression tests, and `test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts`. ### Background - A macro result is turned into an AST node by `Run::coerce`. A `Response` or `Request` is first reduced to its body `Blob`. `expr_from_blob` then picks the node shape from the blob's content type. - `bun_http_types::MimeType::init` parses `type/subtype;params` into a `MimeType` with a `Category`. Parameters are cut at the first `;`. `application/json` and `application/geo+json` map to `Category::Json`. `text/*` maps to `Text` (or `Css`, `Html`, `Javascript`, and `text/plain` to the `TEXT` constant). - `Response.json()` sets `application/json;charset=utf-8` (`MimeType::JSON`). A `Response` with a `content-type` header and no blob type gets its blob type from `MimeType::init` on that header (`src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs:2146`). <details><summary>Notes</summary> Repro on 1.4.1: ```ts // macro.ts export function j() { return Response.json({ a: 1 }); } // index.ts import { j } from "./macro.ts" with { type: "macro" }; console.log(j()); ``` `bun build index.ts` emits `console.log("data:application/json;charset=utf-8;base64,eyJhIjoxfQ==");`. With this change it emits `console.log({ a: 1 });`. Behavior that changes besides the parameter handling, because the classification now follows `MimeType::init`: - `application/javascript`, `application/x-javascript`, `application/ecmascript`, `application/xml` with no parameters were inlined as strings. They are `Category::Application` in `MimeType::init` and now become data URLs. With parameters they were data URLs before too. The pre-port code did the same. - `+json` suffixes other than `geo+json` (for example `application/ld+json`) with no parameters were parsed as JSON. They are `Category::Application` and now become data URLs. `text/json` is `Category::Text` and becomes a string. - The type is still case-sensitive, as it is everywhere else `MimeType::init` is used. A Blob built in JS is lowercased by the `Blob` constructor. A header value is used verbatim. The data URL arm keeps the raw content type in the URL (`data:<content type>;base64,...`), unchanged. Related: #32844 fixes the same parameter problem with string essence matching, plus a platform object error that #40059 covers. #40059 (`claude/macro-host`) also strips parameters inside `expr_from_blob` with string compares. This change conflicts with it only in the body of `expr_from_blob` and one Cargo.toml line. The `it.todo` cases in `transpiler.test.js` ("macros can return a Response body", "pass objects to macros") stay todo. They depend on `transformSync(code, ctx)`. That call appends `ctx` after the call arguments, so a macro called with no arguments receives `ctx` as its first parameter and the fixture's second parameter is `undefined`. That is separate from this change. </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **[review]** gate passed · iteration 0 · 5 files touched <details><summary>fails on main (without fix)</summary> ```console ASAN without fix: BUILD FAILED (no junit output) $ BUN_DEBUG_QUIET_LOGS=1 bun scripts/build.ts --profile=debug --quiet test "--reporter=junit" "--reporter-outfile=/tmp/mechgate.xml" test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts ninja: Entering directory `/workspace/bun/build/debug' [0/3] cargo bun_runtime → libbun_runtime.a FAILED: rust-target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/libbun_runtime.a /workspace/bun/build/release/bun /workspace/bun/scripts/build/stream.ts rust --console --cwd=/workspace/bun --env=CARGO_TERM_COLOR=always --env=BUN_CODEGEN_DIR=/workspace/bun/build/debug/codegen --env=CC=/usr/lib/llvm-21/bin/clang --env=CXX=/usr/lib/llvm-21/bin/clang++ --env=AR=/usr/lib/llvm-21/bin/llvm-ar --env=CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_GNU_LINKER=/usr/lib/llvm-21/bin/clang++ --env=CARGO_HOME=/root/.cargo --env=RUSTUP_HOME=/root/.rustup --env=RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=nightly-2026-07-20 --env=CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO=off --env=CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_CODEGEN_UNITS=16 --env=CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=true --env=CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTFLAGS='-Crelocation-model=static�-Cforce-frame-pointers=yes�-Zthreads=8�-Cllvm-args=-addrsig�-Ctarget-cpu=nehalem�--check-cfg=cfg(bun_asan)�-Zsanitizer=address�--cfg=bun_asan�--check-cfg=cfg(b ...

Macros (
import … with { type: "macro" }) now all run on one dedicated thread with its ownVirtualMachine, driven like a worker. A transpiling thread — the main thread mid-require(), a bundler worker, aRuntimeTranspilerStorejob,Bun.Transpiler— resolves the macro specifier with its own resolver, posts a request to that host and waits. The host imports the module, calls the export, and if the result is a promise attaches reactions rather than blocking, soasyncmacros and top-levelawaitsimply run on its loop while requests from other threads proceed. The result comes back as an owned value tree and the caller builds the AST in its own arena. The host is started on first use and stopped and joined from the mainVirtualMachine's teardown alongside its child workers (or bybun buildbefore it exits), through the same teardown path workers use.Previously a macro ran inside whichever thread was transpiling: main-thread parses (
require, the entry graph,transformSync) used the program's VM, which carried a second "macro" event loop swapped in around each call; every bundler/transpiler-pool thread (bun build,Bun.build,import) spun up a full VM of its own that was never torn down; and completions had to be routed by which of a VM's two loops was current when their work started. All of that is removed:VirtualMachine's second loop,LoopKind/BunLoopKind,MacroModeGuard,MacroEntryPoint,Bun.registerMacro,coroutine.cpp, the resolver'suse_alternate_source_cache/macro_shared_buffer.Behaviour changes:
Error) fails the build with the error and its stack at the call site (before: printed, call left in place) (Proper Call Stack in macros #15269).process.exit()inside a macro is aTypeError.transformSync(code, ctx)hands the macro a structured clone ofctx.BigIntvalues a macro returns (anywhere in the result) are inlined as BigInt literals, and BigInt literals can be passed to macros as arguments. Returning aRegExpor another object with no literal form is now an error instead of silently becoming a string.How did you verify your code works?
