What does this PR do?

Widens rule 1 of mergeSmallChunks (#40506), the always-on fold of code-splitting chunks that are loaded under the same conditions.

Rule 1 drops an import() entry D from a chunk key when D can never be the first thing loaded among the key's entries. #40506 required a single entry to precede D on every path (guaranteed[D], the intersection over D's importers). That never fires when the same module is import()ed from two places that don't have a common ancestor: with two entries main and repl that both import("./cmd"), the {main, repl, cmd} chunk is loaded exactly when the {main, repl} chunk is (whichever way cmd loads, main or repl came first), but guaranteed[cmd] = {main} ∩ {repl} = ∅ kept the two chunks apart.

The new rule is per key: D is redundant when no importer of D can be reached from a process root through import()s without passing through the key. Roots are the entries nothing is known to precede: user entries, require() targets (#40519), entries with an importer that may be mid-evaluation at a top-level await, and entries nothing imports. load_class walks the import() graph from the roots outside the key, stopping at the key's entries, and drops each key entry none of whose importers was reached. The guarantor may differ per path, which is the only change in what is folded; importer cycles behind the key (lazy pages that import() each other) fold as before, and a key whose entries only import() each other is left alone.

The walk is a single pass per distinct chunk key over an epoch-stamped scratch array, so its cost is proportional to what the roots reach, not to the number of entries. A first cut that rescanned every entry to a fixpoint per key took 448 s on a 3000-entry import() chain that main bundles in 1.2 s; this version takes 0.85 s on it.

A self-import() is dropped from an entry's importers up front, so an entry that also imports itself is treated like any other.

Measurements

A real ~2400-module CLI compiled with --compile --splitting --bytecode (macOS arm64, release builds; main is 65362b5):

main this PR
chunks 2,368 2,148
cross-chunk import statements 208,916 163,302
chunks statically reachable from the main screen's import() 692 530
executable size 311.5 MB 309.1 MB

Startup (interleaved runs, medians): the import() of the main screen 45.0 → 42.0 ms in the interactive path (15 runs) and 79.2 → 69.7 ms in the headless path (20 runs); time to first render 388 → 372 ms (hyperfine, 20 runs). Peak phys_footprint at first render 247 → 242 MB, within run-to-run noise. Bundling the CLI takes the same ~5.8 s.

Synthetic graphs (3000 import() entries + 3000 shared modules, bun build --splitting --target=bun, hyperfine 5 runs): random importers 327 → 326 ms, a chain of entries 1.16 → 0.85 s.

How did you verify your code works?

  • test/bundler/bundler_splitting.test.ts: new FoldsChunkWhoseImportersTheKeyCovers (cmd is import()ed from main and from a lazy module only repl loads; fails on main with 6 outputs, passes with 5) and FoldsChunkBehindDynamicImportCycle (main → x ⇄ y, x → d; the {main, d} chunk folds into main.js as on main), plus the existing 57 tests.
  • test/bundler/bundler_compile_splitting.test.ts (19) and test/bundler/esbuild/splitting.test.ts (26) pass.
  • Ran the compiled CLI above from both builds and compared chunk layout from the metafile and startup timings.

Walkthrough

The linker now computes dynamic-entry precedence with an immediate-dominator importer graph. It excludes self-imports, synchronous require(), and top-level-await cases. Rust runtime builds now use rust_build. Regression tests cover direct, transitive, and cyclic dynamic imports.

I reviewed the follow-up commit and didn't find any bugs. The rewrite replaces the forward preceded(K) fixpoint with reachability-from-roots-avoiding-K, which handles the import() back-edge case and is a superset of the base branch's guaranteed rule; given the subtlety of the graph reasoning here, a human look is still worthwhile.

Checked: the new load_class on the main→x, x→{y,d}, y→x cycle (the shape from the earlier thread, now covered by FoldsChunkBehindDynamicImportCycle) drops d from {main,d} as the base branch did; roots-in-key are correctly not BFS-seeded and dependents only targets guaranteed entries so root→root import() edges are still covered via direct root seeding; a reachable key cannot reduce to empty (the first key-member on any root path has a non-key importer that the BFS reaches), so the empty-class fallback only fires on dead keys; the u32 epoch reset is per distinct chunk key, not per file, so overflow is not a practical concern.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR widens rule 1 of merge_small_chunks so a dynamic entry D is dropped from a chunk key when no importer of D is reachable from a process root without passing through the key, replacing the base branch's single-guarantor intersection. My earlier inline comment showed the first version (a forward least-fixpoint preceded(K) seeded from K with an importer countdown) missed keys the base branch folded whenever an import() back-edge kept a countdown from reaching zero. Commit a51c193 rewrote the closure as a BFS from roots-not-in-key over the dependents adjacency and drops D when none of its importers were reached, and added splitting/FoldsChunkBehindDynamicImportCycle, which is structurally the exact counterexample from that thread (main→x, x→{y,d}, y→x, shared in main+d).

Security risks

None. This is a pure in-memory graph analysis over already-parsed module metadata; no untrusted input parsing, no I/O, no allocation sizes derived from external data. All indexing is into vectors sized to entry_points_len and iterated via bitset iterators over the same domain.

Level of scrutiny

High. The correctness argument is a dominator-style claim over a directed graph with cycles, and getting it wrong either regresses chunk merging (the first version) or merges chunks that aren't actually co-loaded (a runtime bug). I traced the soundness argument (first load of D via importer I: the root→I runtime path must hit some K member, which cannot be D on the first load, so a K\{D} member loaded first) and the superset argument (if E ∈ guaranteed[D] and E ∈ K, E dominates D, so every root→importer-of-D path hits K, hence no importer is reached). I also checked that dependents[importer] is populated for root importers (only the target is filtered on guaranteed), so a root-in-key that import()s a guaranteed entry outside the key correctly leaves that entry unreached, and that the empty-class guard is only reachable for keys no root can load.

Other factors

Two new itBundled tests land in the existing test/bundler/bundler_splitting.test.ts per convention, and the cycle test asserts the exact output set plus a run: check, so it fails for the right reason on both the base branch (extra shared chunk) and the first version of this PR (same). Per-key cost is now proportional to what the BFS reaches rather than the old O(N²·words) fixpoint, and the PR's chain benchmark (1.16→0.81 s) is consistent with that. I'm deferring rather than approving because the change is a non-trivial algorithmic rewrite in a bundler hot path with performance claims, which per the repo's review guidance warrants a maintainer's eyes.

… a backward importer walk

Build the import() graph once as CSR, compute immediate dominators
(Cooper-Harvey-Kennedy), and per candidate accept immediately when a key
entry is on its idom chain; otherwise walk importers backward stopping at
the key and bail at the first root. Replaces the per-key forward walk from
every root. Output is byte-identical; a 3000-entry import() chain builds
in 2.9 s instead of 3.3 s.

Also drop the rustup toolchain-install step from the host cargo build; the
pinned toolchain is already installed and the step needs network.

Preserve Rust target provisioning for cross builds.

emitRust() always selects rust_build, and cargoBuildInvocation() always passes --target <triple>. This rule has no target-provisioning step. RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN bypasses the target list in rust-toolchain.toml, so a missing non-host rust-std component can make Cargo fail before compilation.

Add target provisioning to rust_build, or route cross builds through an equivalent rule.

Assert the CSR cursor invariant after the fill pass.

The comment on Line 408 describes successors_of(n) = edges[offsets[n]..offsets[n + 1]], but that identity holds only after the fill pass advances each offsets[n + 1] cursor by the out-degree of n. Before the fill pass, offsets[n + 1] is the start of n and offsets[n + 2] is its end. A future edit that moves the successors closure above Line 427, or that changes the + 2 / + 1 shift, produces a silent off-by-one in chunk keys instead of a crash. Add a debug assertion that every cursor reached the end of its bucket.

🧪 Proposed assertion
     let successors = |node: usize| &edges[offsets[node] as usize..offsets[node + 1] as usize];

Insert before that line:

+    // Each cursor advanced over its own bucket, so `offsets[n]` is now the
+    // start of `n`'s edges and `offsets[n + 1]` is the end.
+    debug_assert_eq!(offsets[vroot + 1], offsets[vroot + 2]);

🔴 Unrelated deletion of rust_build_cross / findRustup() regresses CI toolchain self-healing

Extended reasoning...

This bundler PR deletes the findRustup() helper and the rust_build_cross ninja rule so emitRust now unconditionally emits plain rust_build. On the base branch, when cfg.rustToolchain is pinned and cargo is a rustup proxy (every CI agent), the build prefixed cargo with rustup toolchain install … --component rust-src [--target …] to repair a partially auto-installed toolchain (rustc/cargo present, no rust-std, no channel manifest). After merge, a CI agent in that state hits error[E0463]: can't find crate for core or error: Missing manifest in toolchain '<channel>-<host>' and the build fails instead of self-healing. Nothing in the PR title/description mentions this build-system change, and it leaves four stale references to rust_build_cross behind (rust-lto-fix-cli.ts:39, tools.ts:696, source.ts:638, source.ts:647). The fix is to drop the scripts/build/rust.ts hunk from this PR entirely (or, if the removal is intentional, land it separately with the stale comments cleaned up and the workarounds.ts self-obsoleting entry that scripts/build/CLAUDE.md…

Verification: normal — The diff at scripts/build/rust.ts deletes findRustup() (base lines 178-188), the entire rust_build_cross rule registration (base lines 246-337, including its 40-line rationale comment), and the useCrossRule selection in emitRust (base lines 897-907, 913), replacing it with an unconditional rule: "rust_build".
