Bug

With Bun.serve({ development: true, routes: { "/": html } }), if the page imports a module from a directory outside the project root (e.g. ../outside/dep.ts), editing that file crashes the process under ASAN: SEGV/use-after-poison on the File Watcher thread in HotReloadEvent::append_file <- DevServer::on_file_update <- Watcher::dispatch_file_updates.

Cause

Path::dupe_alloc interns text into the process-lifetime FilenameStore in every branch except the one where pretty is not a substring of text — which is exactly the out-of-root case (pretty starts with ../). There it allocated a combined text\0pretty\0 buffer from the per-bundle arena. bundle_v2 adds source.path.text to the watcher with CLONE_FILE_PATH = false (the watcher borrows the slice), and the dev server drops the bundle arena in finalize_bundle, so the watchlist was left holding a dangling path that the next inotify event hashed/copied.

Fix

Intern text in FilenameStore in the disjoint branch too, matching how in-root paths get their lifetime; only pretty (a display path recomputed each build) stays in the per-build arena so repeated Bun.build() calls don't grow the store by it. No new unsafe.

Also: DevServer::relative_path asserted that the root has no trailing /, but after process.chdir() the cached top-level directory ends with a separator, so a dev server started after chdir hit the debug assertion the first time it reported a bundle failure. The root is now normalized (trailing separator stripped, drive root preserved on Windows) when the dev server is created.

Tests

  • test/bake/dev/html.test.ts: "editing a file imported from outside the project root hot-reloads" — dev server runs with its cwd in web/, the page imports ../outside/dep.ts, the file is edited twice and both HMR updates must arrive. Crashed (ASAN) before, passes after. The harness gains a cwd option for this.
  • test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-html.test.ts: "dev server started after process.chdir() reports bundle failures" — aborted on the assertion before, returns the 500 + error after.
  • Ran all of test/bake/dev/*.test.ts and test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-html*.test.ts on a debug ASAN build.

When a bundled file's display path is not a substring of its absolute path
(a file outside the project root, shown as ../x/dep.ts), Path::dupe_alloc put
the absolute path in the per-bundle arena. bundle_v2 registers that slice with
the file watcher without copying, and the dev server frees the arena when the
bundle finishes, so the next fs event read freed memory on the watcher thread.
Intern the absolute path in FilenameStore like every other branch and keep only
the per-build display path in the arena.

Also strip the trailing separator from the dev server root: after
process.chdir() the cached top-level directory ends with '/', which tripped the
assertion in DevServer::relative_path when a bundle failure was reported.

Walkthrough

The resolver now detects interned paths and allocates disjoint path components separately. Development servers normalize roots and support custom test working directories. Regression tests cover external dependency hot reloads and bundling errors after process.chdir().

Changes

Development server path handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolver path storage and watcher handling
src/resolver/lib.rs, src/bun_alloc/lib.rs, src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs
Interned-slice lookup helpers now support separate allocation of interned and transient path values. Watcher registration selects cloning behavior from path storage.
Development server root and working directory
src/runtime/bake/DevServer.rs, test/bake/bake-harness.ts
Windows roots are normalized. DevServerTest accepts an optional cwd and starts the harness with an absolute path.
Regression coverage

Comment thread src/resolver/lib.rs Outdated
The resolver caches file abs paths in DirnameStore, so checking only
FilenameStore never matched and text was re-appended on every rebuild.
… watcher copies non-interned paths

The disjoint text/pretty branch also covers plugin modules in a non-file
namespace, whose text and namespace are per-build boxes. Interning text there
grew FilenameStore on every Bun.build(). Go back to the per-build arena for a
text (and namespace) the resolver has not already interned, and have bundle_v2
hand the watcher an owned copy of any source path that is not interned, since
BSSStringList::exists only covers the fixed backing buffer and a path that
spilled to an overflow allocation reads as not interned.

DevServer::init normalizes the root once and uses it for the router and
FileSystem::init as well.

9942ba5: dupe_alloc's disjoint branch now reuses text only when it is already interned (Dirname/FilenameStore, shared as_interned_path helper) and otherwise keeps text/pretty/non-file namespace on the per-build arena as before; bundle_v2 passes CLONE_FILE_PATH=true to the watcher for paths that aren't provably interned, so the watchlist always owns or outlives what it stores. (BSSStringList overflow entries are individual allocations, so extending exists() to them would be an O(n) scan under the mutex — the clone-on-watch fallback costs one copy per newly watched file instead.) Counter check: 0 store appends across 50 out-of-root HMR reloads and across 50 Bun.build() calls with a virtual-namespace plugin module. bake/dev html+bundle+plugins, bun-build-api 61/61 green.

Do not promote bytes that retain a mutable alias.

BSSStringList::as_interned returns &'static [u8] for any slice inside backing_buf, while append_mutable can return an unconstrained-lifetime &mut [u8] into the same storage. A caller can retain that mutable slice, pass it to as_interned, and mutate it after the static reference escapes. This violates Rust aliasing rules. Separate mutable construction storage from immutable interned storage, or enforce that promoted bytes have no mutable aliases.

There's no path to that alias from outside the crate: BSSStringList::append_mutable is pub(crate) unsafe fn — the internal building block that append/print use to reserve fresh bytes, copy into them, and return them as &[u8]; the &mut never escapes bun_alloc and only ever covers bytes not yet handed to anyone. as_interned takes a &[u8] the caller already holds, i.e. bytes that are past construction. (The append_mutable you found in libarchive is an unrelated ArchiveAppender trait method implemented by its callers, not the store's.) Tightened the SAFETY comment to say exactly this in 7d66de8.

### Problem
- `Bun.build()` with a plugin module in a non-`file` namespace: if that
module has a build error, reading `log.position.namespace` from
`result.logs` after the build reads freed memory. With
`MIMALLOC_PURGE_DELAY=0` it crashes: `SEGV in simdutf::validate_ascii`
from `BuildMessage::generate_position_object`
(`src/jsc/BuildMessage.rs:133`).
- Cause: #40640 moved a plugin module's namespace into the bundle's
`MimallocArena` (`src/resolver/lib.rs`, the disjoint `text`/`pretty`
branch of `dupe_alloc`). `bun_ast::Location` stores `namespace` as a
bare `&'static [u8]`, and its clone impls copy the pointer. The
`BuildMessage` holds that `Msg` after the arena is destroyed.

### Fix
- `Location.namespace` becomes a `Cow<'static, [u8]>`. Both clone impls
(`Clone` and `clone_with_builder`) deep-copy it, the same way they
already copy `file` and `line_text`. The four constructors borrow, as
before.
- Correct because `msg_to_js` (`src/jsc/lib.rs`) clones the `Msg` while
the bundle is still alive. The copy is taken from valid memory, and the
`BuildMessage` then owns its bytes.
- Verified: `test/bundler/bun-build-api.test.ts`, "a BuildMessage keeps
the namespace of a plugin module after the build". On main it crashes
with the SEGV above. Also green: the rest of `bun-build-api.test.ts`,
`test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts`, `test/bake/dev/html.test.ts`.

### Background
- `Path::dupe_alloc` turns a resolver's or a plugin's `Path` into the
one the bundle graph stores. `text` is the absolute path, `pretty` the
display path, `namespace` is `file` or a plugin namespace. Since #40640
the display path, and the namespace of a plugin module, live in the
bundle's arena, which is destroyed when the bundle is done.
- `bun_ast::Location` is the position attached to a log message.
`Bun.build()` results and the dev server keep messages after the bundle
is gone, which is why `Location` does not derive `Clone` and deep-copies
instead.
- A plugin module's `pretty` is `<namespace>:<text>`, which never
contains `text`, so every module in a non-`file` namespace takes the
arena branch.

<details>
<summary>Notes</summary>

Split out of #39456, which stops `dupe_alloc` from growing the
`FilenameStore` on every bundle and makes more of the `Path`
arena-backed. This change is needed on its own since #40640 and is the
smaller fix, so it lands first. #39456 is stacked on it.

`MIMALLOC_PURGE_DELAY=0` and `MIMALLOC_ABANDONED_PAGE_PURGE=1` make
mimalloc return the destroyed heap's pages to the OS at once. Without
them the stale pointer reads the old bytes and the test passes by luck.
ASAN does not see the arena (mimalloc manages its own segments), so the
crash is a plain SEGV.

### Problem

- Three frames on `/_bun/hmr`, which any client that can reach the dev
server may send, drove invalid state. A duplicate `H` (testing-batch)
frame hit the `TestingBatchEvents::EnableAfterBundle` arm's
`debug_assert!(false)`. A `SetUrl` pattern that does not start with `/`
reached `FrameworkRouter::match_slow`'s `debug_assert!(path[0] ==
b'/')`: `ws.send("n")` indexes an empty slice inside that assert,
`ws.send("nfoo")` fails it.
- Releasing a batch with `H` while an unrelated bundle was in flight
called `start_async_bundle`, whose first line is
`debug_assert!(self.current_bundle.is_none())` (`DevServer.rs:3111`). On
a release build that assert is compiled out, and the assignment drops
the in-flight `CurrentBundle` (its `BundleV2`, and through `Drop for
MimallocArena` an `mi_heap_destroy` of its arena) while that bundle's
thread-pool tasks are still running. Since 1.4.1 that crashes on several
threads at once:

```
panic: Segmentation fault at address 0x1B     # canary 1.4.3, 3/3, addresses vary
oh no: multiple threads are crashing
panic: index out of bounds: the len is 7 but the index is 153309857
```

### Fix

- Duplicate `H`: drop the assert and keep the `ws.close()` that was
already there.
- `SetUrl`: close the socket on a pattern that does not start with `/`,
like the sibling arms do for their malformed input. `match_slow`'s
assert is a correct contract for its HTTP callers, whose request paths
always start with `/`; the HMR socket is the one caller feeding it peer
bytes.
- Batch release: hold the batch in a new
`TestingBatchEvents::ReleaseAfterBundle` state and release it from
`finalize_bundle_cleanup` once no bundle is running, so the harness
still gets its bundle. A further `H` in that state is a protocol
violation and closes the socket.
- Verified: `test/bake/hmr-socket-protocol.test.ts`, 4 tests. All 4 fail
against `bun bd` without the `src/` diff and pass with it.

### Background

- `/_bun/hmr` is the dev server's hot-reload websocket.
`HmrSocket::on_message` switches on the first byte of each frame, so
each arm validates its own payload.
- The `H` frame drives the bake test harness's batching: the first turns
batching on, a later one releases the files collected since as a single
bundle.
- Only one bundle runs at a time. `CurrentBundle` owns the arena that
the bundler's parse tasks, which run on the thread pool, read from.
- A request for a route that is not bundled yet goes through
`ensure_route_is_bundled`, which starts a bundle without consulting
`testing_batch_events`. That is how a bundle comes to be in flight
between two `H` frames.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

Rebased onto current `main`. The branch was 1983 commits behind and the
file had moved from `src/runtime/bake/DevServer/HmrSocket.rs` to
`src/runtime/bake/dev_server/hmr_socket.rs`, so the PR had gone
conflicting; it is now a clean diff against `main` and all three bugs
were re-confirmed present there.

An earlier revision of this PR also gated the visualizer on-subscribe
hooks on `cfg!(feature = "bake_debugging_features")` to stop `sM`
reaching `emit_memory_visualizer_message`'s `debug_assert!(cfg!(feature
= ...))`. That fix is dropped: `main` has since deleted the assert and
removed the cargo feature from `src/runtime/Cargo.toml` entirely, so
there is nothing left to gate.

While re-checking `sM` against current `main` I found a separate,
still-open crash that this PR does not touch: `sM`, then ~1s so the
1-second timer fires, then `s` to unsubscribe gives `panic: assertion
failed: self.root == v`, the intrusive timer heap's `remove()` on a node
the drain had already popped. The cleanup that emptied
`emit_memory_visualizer_message_timer` took away the `state = FIRED` +
re-insert that kept the node's bookkeeping honest. It reproduces on
unmodified `main` with this diff stashed, and fixing it needs a decision
about what remains of the memory-visualizer feature, so it is filed
separately rather than folded in here.

The third test keeps every step condition-based rather than timed: a
bundler plugin parks the `/two` bundle on a fetch the test controls, the
batch steps wait on the `r0`/`r1` synchronization frames, and the
release step waits for the socket close that a further `H` triggers,
which is what proves the first `H` was handled while the bundle was
still held.

The duplicate-`H` and `SetUrl` arms were reported by review on an
earlier revision of this PR; the batch-release segfault came with a
runnable reproduction from the fuzz lane, and that reproduction now
exits 0 with the server still answering, 3/3.

Release dating, from the fuzz lane's runs of the same frames: 1.4.0
keeps serving, while 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and canary segfault 3/3 each. The
dev-server side of this did not change in that window.
`start_async_bundle` is identical between `bun-v1.4.0` and `bun-v1.4.1`
apart from an unrelated inspector string `deref`, and
`src/bun_alloc/MimallocArena.rs` is byte-identical, so 1.4.0 already
destroys the in-flight bundle's arena and gets away with it: a
use-after-free that happens to read intact bytes. Of the two changes
first suspected, #40478 only touches `StaticRoute` response refs
(neither `CurrentBundle` nor `BundleV2` has a refcounted field for it to
affect), and #40640 moves out-of-root path text out of the per-bundle
arena into a process-lifetime store, which leaves less dangling, not
more. What did change on this path is the allocator: mimalloc moved from
`6a14aee2` to `6a64e1ba` in that window, including #40138, which
replaced the `mi_heap_delete` and `mi_heap_destroy` teardown with a
protocol that detaches, claims and frees a heap's pages even when
another thread can still reach them. That is the likeliest reason a
silent use-after-free became a reliable fault. It is inferred from the
diffs, not bisected; running the reproduction against one Bun commit
with the old and the new mimalloc pin would settle it. Either way the
defect is the second `start_async_bundle`, which is as old as the
`Enabled` arm. 1.4.1 made it visible.
