napi/v8: never leave a JS exception on the VM while addon code runs - #40249
dylan-conway wants to merge 10 commits into
Conversation
…nit-time napi_throw from napi_module_register, no crash for a DataView over a detached buffer
- napi_create_dataview / napi_create_buffer / napi_create_buffer_copy /
node_api_create_buffer_from_arraybuffer / napi_create_bigint_words /
napi_run_script declared a plain ThrowScope and returned a status to the
addon with the exception pending, which reads as an unchecked exception
to the next napi call; they now use NAPI_PREAMBLE like the rest (and like
Node). napi_new_instance's not-a-constructor path and v8::Isolate::
ThrowException/ThrowError throw the same way.
- A module registered through napi_module_register() whose init threw with
napi_throw_* lost that error ("Node-API module returned an error"); it
is now the error require() throws, as on the napi_register_module_v1
path.
- napi_create_dataview on a detached ArrayBuffer crashed; it now fails
with the TypeError pending.
- napi_get_all_property_names checked none of the gets/pushes in its
filter loop; JSValue::to_object (Rust) inferred the throw from a null
return without an exception check.

…View case; check stderr in the throwing-init test
…ception wrapper, as the last exception
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I reviewed this PR again on 88cef00 and found no further issues — all earlier feedback (comment placement, stderr assertion, thrown->value() unwrap) is addressed. Because it reworks exception-scope handling across several N-API entry points and the V8 shim, a human pass would still be worthwhile.
Checked: the NAPI_PREAMBLE conversions match the file's existing macro contract (TopExceptionScope + env-pending gate); the dropped !scope.exception() guard in executePendingNapiModule is dead after the preceding RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION; napi_run_script's termination path re-throws through an inner scope and asserts on the preamble scope; napi_call_function's new preamble is behavior-equivalent to the old throwPendingException() early-return.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR standardizes ~8 N-API entry points (napi_create_dataview, napi_create_buffer, napi_create_buffer_copy, node_api_create_buffer_from_arraybuffer, napi_create_bigint_words, napi_run_script, napi_new_instance) and the V8 shim's ThrowException/ThrowError onto the file's NAPI_PREAMBLE / DECLARE_TOP_EXCEPTION_SCOPE convention so they pass under BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1. It also fixes two user-visible bugs: napi_create_dataview on a detached buffer (crash → pending TypeError via JSDataView::create), and napi_module_register init-time napi_throw_* now surfaces to require(). Ancillary: napi_get_all_property_names gains missing exception checks, napi_run_script now records thrown->value() (not the Exception* wrapper) and re-throws termination exceptions onto the VM, and JSC__JSValue__toObject is marked null_is_throw. The bulk of the standalone_tests.cpp diff is clang-format reflow.
Security risks
None identified. This is exception-scope hygiene and error-path correctness in the N-API layer; no auth, crypto, or untrusted-input parsing is touched.
Level of scrutiny
High. Per REVIEW.md, native exception-scope handling is in the most-blocked category — getting scope discipline wrong shows up as validator failures or, worse, as use-after-free when a throwing path skips cleanup. The conversions here are largely mechanical (replacing hand-rolled DECLARE_THROW_SCOPE + RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION with the file's NAPI_PREAMBLE / NAPI_RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION macros, which dozens of sibling functions already use), but several hunks are genuine behavior changes: the napi_run_script termination-vs-latch split, the napi_call_function preamble rewrite, the removed !scope.exception() guard in executePendingNapiModule, and swapping DataView::create + wrap for JSDataView::create. Each looks correct on inspection and is covered by new tests plus the validator run described in the PR body, but a maintainer familiar with JSC's scope semantics should confirm.
Other factors
Three prior review rounds from me and three from CodeRabbit have all been addressed by the author; every thread is resolved. New tests cover both user-visible fixes (throwing-init addon via napi_module_register, detached-buffer DataView) and the thrown->value() unwrap, and the PR body reports the affected js-native-api/node-api suites passing under the validator. The clang-format noise in standalone_tests.cpp obscures the real additions but introduces no logic changes.
A Node-API or V8 API call returns to the addon's C/C++ code, which cannot check a JS exception; the first frame that can is the trampoline the addon returns to. So, as JSC's own C API does (APIUtils.h handleExceptionIfNeeded), an exception raised inside an API call is taken off the VM and latched on the env / isolate, and the trampoline (NapiClass call/construct, module registration, finalizers, FunctionTemplate call/construct, accessors) throws it once the addon returns. napi_throw* already worked this way; this makes every NAPI_RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION / CHECK_TO_OBJECT path, the Rust napi functions, napi_run_script, and v8::Isolate::ThrowException/ThrowError do the same, and removes the places that threw into the VM from inside an API call (napi_call_function's pre-throw, the nested throw scopes). A termination is the one thing left on the VM. napi_is_exception_pending / napi_get_and_clear_last_exception read the latch; process.dlopen throws whatever registration left in its result slot, error object or not.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs in the current revision — all prior inline findings (orphaned comment, thrown->value(), stderr assertions, primitive-throw test) have been addressed. Because this reworks the exception-handling model across the NAPI/V8 addon boundary (latching on env/isolate instead of leaving on the VM, new m_pendingException WriteBarrier on GlobalInternals, process.dlopen now throwing any slot-0 value, napi_run_script bypassing JSC::evaluate), a human look would still be worthwhile.

Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR changes the exception-handling contract at the native-addon boundary: instead of leaving a JS exception on the VM while addon C/C++ code continues to run (which the addon cannot observe and which trips validateExceptionChecks), any exception raised inside a Node-API or V8-API call is taken off the VM and latched on the napi_env / v8::Isolate's GlobalInternals. The trampoline that invoked the addon (NapiClass call/construct, executePendingNapiModule, FunctionTemplate::invokeCallback, accessor callbacks, node_module_register) throws the latched value into JS when the addon returns. Termination exceptions are the one thing left on the VM. It touches napi.cpp (new latchException helper, rewritten NAPI_RETURN_* macros, ~10 entry points converted to NAPI_PREAMBLE, napi_run_script now calls vm.interpreter.executeProgram directly, napi_get_and_clear_last_exception no longer reads/clears the VM slot), napi_body.rs (new threw() helper on all Err(_) paths), the V8 shim (Isolate::ThrowException/ThrowError latch on a new WriteBarrier<Unknown> m_pendingException on GlobalInternals; three trampolines drain it), BunProcess.cpp (throws whatever is in slot 0 rather than only ErrorInstances), and bindings.cpp/JSValue.rs (toObject moved to the generated null_is_throw wrapper). Four new tests plus a large clang-format reflow of standalone_tests.cpp and main.cpp.
Security risks
None identified. The change does not touch auth, crypto, permissions, or untrusted-input parsing. The BunProcess.cpp change removes a getObject() call on a value that could be a non-object cell (previously a crash) and widens what process.dlopen will throw — but only from a slot the runtime itself writes.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is an architectural change to how exceptions flow through every NAPI entry point and the V8 shim's callback trampolines, with a new GC-visited field on GlobalInternals and a rewrite of napi_run_script's evaluation path. It is well-tested (191/191 napi tests + node-napi suites + 80/80 v8 tests under validateExceptionChecks, plus new targeted tests compared byte-for-byte with Node), and every prior review finding has been addressed, but the surface area — every macro-using NAPI function, every Rust napi Err path, every V8 trampoline — is broad enough that a maintainer familiar with the NAPI exception model and JSC's scope machinery should sign off on the design.
Other factors
All seven prior review threads (mine and CodeRabbit's) are resolved with fix commits. The bug-hunting system found nothing on the current revision. The large formatting-only hunks in standalone_tests.cpp / main.cpp are clang-format reflow and don't affect behavior. The napi_create_dataview change from DataView::create + wrap to JSDataView::create is a real bugfix (detached buffer → TypeError instead of crash) with a test.
…parity reads - bun:ffi cc(): the generated trampoline for napi_env/napi_value symbols now throws what the C code latched on the env (napi_throw, or an API call that threw) when it returns; previously napi_throw_error there crashed and an API-raised exception was lost. - v8 node_module_register: take the isolate latch before returning on a VM exception so it cannot fire from a later callback; the FunctionTemplate / accessor trampolines use GlobalInternals::throwPendingException (an exception already on the VM wins), mirroring NapiEnv. - process.dlopen: the module/exports slots are cleared on every exit, so a nested failed load cannot leave a value for the outer one to misread; a V8 init error reported through slot 0 is thrown before pending napi modules run. - napi_is_exception_pending reads only the latch (Node: !last_exception.IsEmpty()); createErrorWithNapiValues latches like everything else; NAPI_PREAMBLE's entry gate reports (latch or a VM termination) without moving anything, as the Rust preamble does. - One macro family: NAPI_RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION_WITH_SCOPE(env, scope, status) → NAPI_RETURN_STATUS_IF_EXCEPTION → NAPI_RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION; the _VM_ variant is gone. Comments updated for the latch model. - Tests: cc() + Node-API exceptions; test files rebuilt without unrelated reformatting; the napi_module_register test sits with the reentrant one.

I reviewed this PR and the bug-hunting pass found no issues this round; the earlier findings (stderr assertions, napi_run_script handing back the Exception wrapper) are all addressed. Because this reworks the exception boundary for every Node-API and V8-shim entry point — the latch/rethrow contract, napi_is_exception_pending/napi_get_and_clear_last_exception semantics, and the process.dlopen slot protocol — a human pass on the overall design is still worthwhile.

Overview
This PR changes the exception model at the native-addon boundary so that a JS exception raised inside any Node-API or V8-shim call is taken off the VM and latched on the env/isolate, then rethrown by whichever trampoline the addon returns to — matching Node's NAPI_PREAMBLE + TryCatch → last_exception → CallIntoModule model. It touches napi.cpp/napi.h (macro rework, latchException, napi_is_exception_pending/napi_get_and_clear_last_exception now read only the latch, several functions moved to NAPI_PREAMBLE, napi_run_script rewritten around executeProgram, napi_create_dataview fixed for detached buffers), the V8 shim (GlobalInternals gains a WriteBarrier<Unknown> m_pendingException visited in visitChildrenImpl; Isolate::ThrowException/ThrowError latch instead of throwing; FunctionTemplate/accessor trampolines rethrow on return; node_module_register reports through slot 0), BunProcess.cpp (slot clearing via makeScopeExit, slot-0 throw no longer gated on isErrorInstance), the Rust NAPI body (env.threw() latches via NapiEnv__latchException), the FFI cc() trampoline (throws the latch on return), and JSValue::to_object moved to the generated null_is_throw wrapper.
Security risks
None identified. The change is about exception propagation semantics inside the runtime; it does not touch auth, crypto, permissions, or untrusted-input parsing. The napi_create_dataview change replaces a crash with a TypeError on a detached buffer, which is strictly safer.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is a cross-cutting semantic change to the NAPI and V8-shim exception contracts that every native addon depends on. It rewrites the NAPI_RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION family, changes what napi_is_exception_pending observes (no longer the VM), alters process.dlopen's error-reporting protocol, and adds a new pending-exception slot to the V8 shim with GC visitation. Getting the termination-vs-latched-exception split wrong, or missing a trampoline that should rethrow, would break real addons in ways that are hard to reproduce. The PR description is thorough and the test coverage (Node-compared checkSameOutput, throwing-init addon, detached-DataView, napi_run_script last-exception, V8 throw-then-continue, cc() throw) is good, but the breadth of the change and the number of interacting invariants (VM termination stays on the VM; latch is always taken even when a VM exception wins; slot 0 is cleared on every dlopen exit) warrant a maintainer's read of the design.
Other factors
All prior automated findings on this PR were addressed by the author (f2f95b5, 88cef00, a52dfee, 7d383bd, 41625c7). The bug-hunting pass on the current head found nothing. I did not find issues in the GC handling of the new m_pendingException (WriteBarrier + visited), the makeScopeExit slot-clear placement, or the ValueEmpty return path in the generated FFI wrapper. This is not a mechanical change I can approve without a human look at the overall model.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs in this pass; all prior inline findings have been addressed. Because this is a cross-cutting semantic change to the NAPI/V8 exception boundary — rewriting NAPI_PREAMBLE/NAPI_RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION, Isolate::ThrowException, process.dlopen slot handling, and the FFI/Rust trampolines — a human look would still be worthwhile.
Checked: the new latchException leaves terminations on the VM; GlobalInternals::m_pendingException is a WriteBarrier visited in visitChildrenImpl; napi_run_script now latches thrown->value() (not the wrapper); the cached-replay branch in BunProcess.cpp mirrors the slot-0 check; scheduleException's empty-value branch was correctly replaced with an assert (no caller passes empty).
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR changes how JS exceptions raised inside Node-API and V8-API calls are handled at the addon boundary: instead of leaving them pending on the JSC VM while addon C/C++ code continues to run, they are taken off the VM and latched on the napi_env (or GlobalInternals for the V8 shim), then thrown by whichever trampoline the addon returns to. It touches ~22 files: the core NAPI macros in napi.cpp/napi.h, the V8 shim (V8Isolate.cpp, GlobalInternals.{h,cpp}, FunctionTemplate.cpp, TemplateProperty.cpp, node.cpp), process.dlopen in BunProcess.cpp, the Rust NAPI bindings in napi_body.rs, the FFI cc() trampoline in ffi_body.rs/FFI.h, plus tests.
Security risks
None identified. The change is defensive (aligns with Node's NAPI_PREAMBLE TryCatch model and JSC's own C API boundary). The new m_pendingException on GlobalInternals is a properly visited WriteBarrier; NapiEnv::m_pendingException is a pre-existing Strong.
Level of scrutiny
High. This rewrites the exception-check macros used by essentially every NAPI function, changes Isolate::ThrowException from a VM throw to a latch, and threads new cleanup through process.dlopen (scope-exit slot clearing, slot-0-as-error checks in both first-load and cached-replay branches). It's the kind of change where a subtle miss in one trampoline (finalizers, async completions, threadsafe-function call_js) leaves an exception latched forever or drops it silently. The PR description is thorough and the author has been responsive across four rounds of review, but the surface area and the number of interacting entry points warrant a human maintainer's sign-off.
Other factors
Three prior rounds of automated review found real issues (missing stderr assertions in tests, Exception* wrapper vs. thrown value in napi_run_script, missing slot-0 check in the cached-replay dlopen branch), all fixed. Test coverage is good — new tests for napi_module_register throwing init, napi_create_dataview on detached buffers, napi_run_script + napi_get_and_clear_last_exception (both Error and primitive), V8 ThrowException with continued API use, and cc() NAPI throws — all compared against Node where applicable and run under BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1. No outstanding review threads.
…40410) ### Problem - Native code must check for a pending JS exception before the next JS-observable call and before it returns from a `ThrowScope`. A missing check asserts on debug builds (`ERROR: Unchecked JS exception` from `VM::verifyExceptionCheckNeedIsSatisfied`). On release builds the code runs on a dummy result, a later unrelated check misattributes the error, or a second throw overwrites it. - Coverage was dynamic only (`BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1` on the ASAN lane), so a path no test executes was never checked. ### Fix - `scripts/jsc-exception-lint`: a clang LibTooling checker that models the validator's state machine over the CFG of every function in `src/**/*.cpp`. Callees are classified from visible bodies, then from summary passes over the JavaScriptCore sources and Bun's bindings, then from the `JSGlobalObject*` / `ThrowScope&` convention. `run.ts` drives it; `rust-externs.ts` cross-checks hand-declared Rust externs. - Fixes its findings: `RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION` after the throwing call, `RELEASE_AND_RETURN` for tail calls, `asNumber()`/`asInt32()` after a type check instead of the throwing coercion, one nested `DECLARE_THROW_SCOPE` removed. Rust externs whose C++ body throws go through the scope helpers and return `JsResult`. No termination special cases, no `clearException`. - Not touched: the files and functions #40068 and #40249 cover (napi, v8, JSMockFunction, ErrorCode, MIME, asymmetric matchers). The JSC-side sites are in oven-sh/WebKit#514; their skip-list entries stay until that bump. - Verified: `test/js/bun/jsc/exception-checks.test.ts` (new; each snippet aborted the validator before), the affected suites under the validator (sqlite, process, ffi, headers, streams, workers, vm, buffer, crypto), and `bun run rust:check` for linux, windows and macOS. ### Background - The validator: every `ThrowScope` destructor sets `VM::m_needExceptionCheck`. The next `ThrowScope` constructor or non-released destructor asserts if it is still set. Only `exception()` (what `RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION` expands to), `clearException()` and `assertNoException` clear it. The tool reports the states in which those asserts fire, plus a call made after the function already threw. - A summary is a callee's exit state set: clean, check pending, thrown, or conditional thrower (the caller tests the return value; reported only with `--kind maybe-thrown-call`). Each pass resolves one more level of cross-file calls, so JSC gets three passes (cached per WebKit version). - Rust-implemented `extern "C"` functions run under their own scope and signal a throw with a sentinel, so the C++ side sees them as conditional throwers. <details><summary>Notes</summary> Numbers. First pass over `src/jsc/bindings` with only the signature convention: 2194 findings. With JSC and Bun summaries, the TopExceptionScope model, template-aware carrier detection, and the Rust-extern rule: 667 findings in 103 files (480 pending-call, 164 unchecked-exit, 13 nested scope, 10 call-after-throw). 603 were in scope for this PR after excluding the files above. After the fixes: 113 in 21 files, of which 72 are in the excluded files and the rest were reviewed as false positives (generated `JSSink` and `ZigGeneratedClasses` code, `JSSetIterator::next` in `Keys` mode, `JSFunction::name`, `getCalculatedDisplayName`, `rejectWithCaughtException` right after a throw, global object construction). Those need entries in `nothrow.txt` or the summary pass over `build/*/codegen` the driver now does. What the tool does not see: a throwing call whose result is passed straight into another call and then `RELEASE_AND_RETURN` (the JSMockFunction pattern #40068 fixes) is legal for the validator and not reported. That needs value tracking. Exceptions observed only through a return value (`if (!result) return {}` after a helper that throws into the caller's scope) are reported as `maybe-thrown-call` and hidden by default. Running it: `bun scripts/jsc-exception-lint/run.ts` needs a configured debug build (`build/debug/compile_commands.json`) and the LLVM 21 development package (`libclang-cpp`, headers; CI's `llvm.sh 21 all` installs them). The first run parses the JSC sources three times (about 30 minutes, cached in `build/debug/jsc-exception-lint/`); later runs take about 15 minutes. A CI step on the linux debug lane after the C++ build is the natural next step; this PR does not add it. How the fixes were made: the findings were split by file and fixed in parallel under one written rule set (`RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION` only, no termination special cases, report false positives instead of editing), then the tree was rebuilt, re-analyzed, and a second pass handled the remainder. I reverted two of the resulting hunks by hand (a scope added to `rsisDetachNativeTransform`, a no-op branch in `JSCTaskScheduler.cpp`) because they rested on a stale classification of callees that cannot throw. Dynamic runs: `test/js/bun/util/BunObject.test.ts` and `test/js/bun/jsonl/jsonl-parse.test.ts` still abort under the validator on the JSC-side sites (oven-sh/WebKit#514). `test/js/node/test/parallel/test-repl-inspect-defaults.js` is the JSONP `doGet` case in the same PR. Tests that failed in my container (worker message flood, ffi FTL warm-up, node:util parseArgs stress, stdin fixtures, IPv6 fetch, root-permission checks) fail identically on an unmodified main build there. </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **[review]** gate passed · iteration 0 · 115 files touched <details><summary>fails on main (without fix)</summary> ```console ASAN without fix: 1 FAILED $ BUN_DEBUG_QUIET_LOGS=1 bun scripts/build.ts --profile=debug --quiet test "--reporter=junit" "--reporter-outfile=/tmp/mechgate.xml" test/js/bun/jsc/exception-checks.test.ts bun test v1.4.1 (4448a2e) test/js/bun/jsc/exception-checks.test.ts: (pass) process.exitCode assigned a rope string [272.39ms] (pass) process.kill with an unknown rope signal name [268.19ms] (pass) process.umask with a rope string [340.13ms] 42 | // them in the comparison so a failure names the call site. 43 | const unchecked = stderr 44 | .split("\n") 45 | .map(line => line.trim()) 46 | .filter(line => line.startsWith("This scope can throw") || line.startsWith("But the exception was unchecked")); 47 | expect({ stdout: stdout.trim(), unchecked, exitCode }).toEqual({ stdout: expected, unchecked: [], exitCode: 0 }); ^ error: expect(received).toEqual(expected) { - "exitCode": 0, - "stdout": "TypeError: Expected 2 values to compare", - "unchecked": [], + "exitCode": 134, + "stdout": "", + "unchecked": [ + "This scope can throw a JS exception: functionBunDeepEquals @ ../../src/jsc/bindin ...

#42797) ### Problem - At a natural exit of the main thread or of a Worker, `NapiEnv::cleanup()` runs the cleanup hooks and the teardown finalizers of each addon env, and a finalizer can call into JS. Node refuses every `NAPI_PREAMBLE` call there with `napi_cannot_run_js` (module version 10 or later) or `napi_pending_exception` (older) and runs no JS. - The JS that runs can re-enter an addon whose env is already torn down. Its `napi_set_instance_data` finalizer has run (node-addon-api frees the data there) and `napi_get_instance_data` still returns the old pointer. The repro in #42793 prints `finalizer already ran=1` from that call. - The cause: Bun's gate (`isStoppingOrStopped`, `src/jsc/bindings/napi.cpp:104`) is armed only by `worker.terminate()`. `on_exit()` (`src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:1896`) ran the cleanup hooks with the handle still open. #37075 left that as it was and asserted the resulting Bun-only behaviour (`late=1`). Fixes #42793. Supersedes #42792. ### Fix - `on_exit()` stops the VM handle after the 'exit' handlers and before the cleanup hooks. Node's `FreeEnvironment` does the same: `set_stopping(true)` before `RunCleanup()`, which makes `can_call_into_js()` false. - The gate now also covers the Rust `preamble!` functions (`napi_make_callback`, `napi_create_promise`, `napi_resolve_deferred`, ...) and the `NAPI_PREAMBLE_NO_THROW_SCOPE` functions that Node gates: the `napi_throw_*` family, the buffer constructors, `napi_create_dataview`, `napi_run_script`, `napi_create_bigint_words`. `napi_throw` drops its `isFinishingFinalizers()` special case, the gate subsumes it. - `NapiEnv::cleanup()` nulls `instanceData` after its finalizer ran, so an ungated `napi_get_instance_data` from a path that still reaches the env (a threadsafe function call after a Worker is gone) gets null, not a freed pointer. - Verified: `test/napi/napi.test.ts` "env teardown refuses calls into JS" compares Bun with Node for module versions 10 and 8, at a main thread exit, a Worker exit and `worker.terminate()`. Stock Bun fails all six: the exit cases print `JS ran at teardown`, the terminate case shows the functions this change adds to the gate. The `late=1` test from #37075 is now a same-output test that asserts `late=0`. The rest of the file passes (199). Also Node's own `test_cannot_run_js`, `test_exception`, `test_error`, `test_finalizer`, `6_object_wrap`, `test_cleanup_hook`, `test_env_teardown_gc`, `test_worker_terminate*`, `test_fatal_exception`, `test_instance_data`, `test_reference`, `test_threadsafe_function`, `test_buffer`, `test_promise`, `test_make_callback`. ### Background - `NapiEnv` is Bun's `napi_env`: one per addon per VM. `cleanup()` runs from the VM's cleanup hooks in `on_exit()`: the addon's cleanup hooks, then the finalizers of the wraps and references still alive, then the instance data finalizer. - `NAPI_PREAMBLE` opens most Node-API functions. It returns `napi_pending_exception` if an exception is pending and, in Node, refuses the call when `can_call_into_js()` is false. Value constructors and accessors (`napi_create_object`, `napi_get_instance_data`) are not gated, in Node or in Bun. - `VmHandle` is the per-VM state that off-thread work and the native-to-JS boundary consult. `stop()` moves it from `Open` to `Stopping`, which is what `isStoppingOrStopped()` reads. `teardown()` later forbids script on the same handle. <details><summary>Notes</summary> **Repro from #42793** (two addons, `a.c` sets instance data, `b.c` wraps an object whose teardown finalizer calls JS that calls `a.read()`). Node v26.3.0 and Bun after this change print `B: call_function=10` and never reach `A: read()`. Bun before ran the JS: `A: read() called, get_instance_data=0 data=non-null, finalizer already ran=1`. **Statuses at teardown, from the new fixture** (`test_env_teardown_cannot_call_js.c`, built for NAPI_VERSION 10 and 8; 23 is `napi_cannot_run_js`, 10 is `napi_pending_exception`). Node and Bun after: in the cleanup hook, the wrap finalizer and the instance data finalizer, `napi_call_function` returns 23 (version 10) or 10 (version 8), `napi_is_exception_pending` reports false, and the same status comes back from `napi_get_named_property`, `napi_set_named_property`, `napi_make_callback`, `napi_create_promise`, `napi_create_external_buffer`, `napi_run_script`, `napi_throw_error` and `napi_strict_equals`. `napi_create_error`, `napi_typeof` and `napi_get_instance_data` return 0 and the instance data is still the addon's own. Bun before: the JS callback ran three times, and the gated calls returned 10 to both module versions. **Existing test changed.** "runs a finalizer that another finalizer registered during env cleanup" asserted `late=1`: a wrap finalizer at Worker teardown created an external buffer with a finalizer, and Bun ran that late finalizer. `napi_create_external_buffer` is a `NAPI_PREAMBLE` call that Node refuses there, so Node prints `late=0`. The test is now a same-output test and asserts `late=0`. **Why stop the handle and not `forbid_script()`.** `forbid_script()` also clears the module registry and the microtask queue and requests termination. That is the stop phase of `teardown()`, which still runs after `on_exit()`. The addon envs need the JS heap intact while their finalizers run (a wrap finalizer reads its object, a reference finalizer its value), as in Node, where the context is alive during `RunCleanup`. **Order of the checks.** `NAPI_PREAMBLE` keeps Node's order: pending exception first, then the gate. `NAPI_PREAMBLE_NO_THROW_SCOPE_GATED` checks the gate at entry, before the function declares its own scope. The two orders differ only when both conditions hold, which is a terminated Worker with JSC's termination exception on the VM. Node returns the gate status there, as these functions now do. **Relation to other PRs.** #42792 gated only `napi_throw*` on `isFinishingFinalizers()`, which is false in a cleanup hook and the instance data finalizer. This change covers those phases and every other gated function, so #42792 is closed in favour of this one. #40249 (open) changes how exceptions cross the addon boundary and moves five of the functions gated here to plain `NAPI_PREAMBLE`. On a rebase, `NAPI_PREAMBLE_NO_THROW_SCOPE_GATED` collapses into that. It is a separate macro here because these functions declare their own `DECLARE_THROW_SCOPE`, which cannot nest under `NAPI_PREAMBLE`'s top exception scope under `validateExceptionChecks`. #40249 does not change whether JS runs at teardown. **Self-review.** Raised: split the `on_exit()` stop from the gate changes into two PRs, test the gate changes on the `terminate()` path, name #37075 and #40249, close #42792. Addressed all but the split: the gate changes are inert on the main thread without the stop, and the wanted shape for #42793 is the two together. **Also ran** with `BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1` and with `BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1`: the same output. `test/js/node/worker_threads/*.test.ts`, `test/js/web/workers/worker.test.ts`, `test/js/node/process/process-on.test.ts`, `test/js/bun/sqlite/sqlite.test.js`: pass, apart from two tests that exceed the 5 s default under the local ASAN debug build and pass with a longer timeout, and `process.test.js` "process", which wants `$USER` in the environment. Four of Node's tests (`test_reference/test.js`, `test_reference/test_finalizer.js`, `test_instance_data/test.js`, `test_fatal_finalize.js`) also exceed 5 s under the local ASAN build and exit 0 when run directly. </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **no test proof** · iteration 0 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/napi/napi.test.ts <!-- robobun:evidence:end -->

What does this PR do?
A Node-API or V8-API call returns to the addon's C/C++ code, which cannot check a JS exception; the first frame that can is the trampoline the addon eventually returns to. This makes the addon boundary work the way Node's does (
NAPI_PREAMBLE'sTryCatch→env->last_exception→ rethrown byCallIntoModule) and the way JSC's own C API does (APIUtils.hhandleExceptionIfNeeded): an exception raised inside an API call is taken off the VM and latched on thenapi_env, the call returns its status, and the trampoline that entered the addon throws it once the addon returns —NapiClasscall/construct/getter/setter,process.dlopen(bothnapi_register_module_v1andnapi_module_register), finalizers, async-work completion, threadsafe-functioncall_js, andbun:fficc()symbols that takenapi_env/napi_value.napi_throw*already worked like this; now every path does:NAPI_RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION/NAPI_RETURN_STATUS_IF_EXCEPTION/NAPI_CHECK_TO_OBJECTand the Rust napi functions latch instead of returning with the exception still on the VM.
