Problem

  • bun build returns the whole module.exports for a default import of a CommonJS module that sets __esModule, when the importer is a .ts, .tsx or .js file. bun run, esbuild and Rolldown return exports.default for the same files. They use Node's interop (the whole module.exports) only for a .mjs, .mts or "type": "module" importer. TypeScript and Babel emit that marker, so this breaks the default import of many packages (styled-components, react-bootstrap). Found while bundling Outline: a React invalid hook call at boot.
  • Cause: print_code_for_file_in_chunk_js (src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs:2290) derived the printer's input_module_type from ast.exports_kind. Any file with ESM syntax counted as ESM, so every __toESM call got isNodeMode = 1, which ignores __esModule.
  • A second source of the same bug: the resolver set module_type from the matched "import" or "require" export condition. A "fake ESM" file in a package without "type", reached through "exports": { "import": ... }, was ESM to the printer too. Fixes react-bootstrap and bun build not playing together #7709. Fixes Default import gets wrapped in extra default #18615.

Fix

  • BundledAst carries the resolver's module_type (the extension, else the nearest package.json "type"). The linker passes that to the printer, so isNodeMode = 1 only for an ESM-by-type importer. The external require() path now prints , 1 under the same rule, as esbuild does.
  • The resolver no longer turns an export condition into a module type, and .mjs/.mts/.cjs/.cts now win over any package.json "type". Node decides a file's format from its extension and the nearest package.json only. A task that bypasses the resolver (a plugin result) falls back to the extension.
  • Correct because it is esbuild's rule (ModuleTypeData, set from the extension or the enclosing package.json) and Node's. Checked against esbuild 0.21.5 for every importer kind below.
  • Verified: test/bundler/bundler_cjs.test.ts (45 tests, 17 fail on the released bun). Also test/bundler/esbuild/*, bundler_cjs2esm, bundler_splitting, bundler_npm, bundler_edgecase, bundler_regressions, bundler_barrel, transpiler/*, test/js/bun/resolve/*, cli/run/run-cjs.

Background

  • __toESM(mod, isNodeMode) is the runtime helper that builds the ESM view of a CommonJS module. With isNodeMode = 0 it honors __esModule: default is mod.default. With isNodeMode = 1 it copies Node: default is mod itself.
  • ExportsKind is what the parser found in a file (import/export syntax versus exports/module use). ModuleType is what the file system says: the extension or package.json "type". Node's interop follows the second, never the first.
  • Supersedes bundler: derive __toESM isNodeMode from resolver module type, not exports_kind #35656, which found the export condition part.
Notes

Repro from the report (1.3.13, 1.4.0, canary):

# dep.cjs: Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true }); exports.default = function () {}; exports.named = 1;
# entry.ts: import d, { named } from "./dep.cjs"; console.log(typeof d, named);
bun entry.ts                                       # function 1
bun build entry.ts --outfile=out.js && bun out.js  # object 1   (before this change)
esbuild entry.ts --bundle --format=esm | node --input-type=module   # function 1

esbuild 0.21.5 output for each importer, matched by the new tests:
.ts: __toESM(require_dep()). .mts: __toESM(require_dep(), 1). "type": "module": , 1. "type": "commonjs": no , 1. External CJS in CJS output: __toESM(require("ext")) for .ts, __toESM(require("ext"), 1) for .mjs. Dynamic import() of a bundled or split CJS module: the same rule.

History: #23803 (Oct 2025) moved isNodeMode from the output format to exports_kind. Before that, the default --format=esm always used isNodeMode = 1, so bun build never honored __esModule for .ts importers.

Test expectation updates for the dropped , 1 (2 bytes minified, 3 bytes otherwise): EmitInvalidSourceMap2 mapping column, npm/ReactSSR mapping columns and file size (6 bytes: three , 1), and the BundledReactPreservesImportRefs snapshot. Six tests in bundler_cjs.test.ts asserted the old behavior for a .js entry and now assert exports.default. regression/issue/03844 still sees , 1: the importer there is ws/wrapper.mjs.

Resolver change, what else it touches: module_type is also the parser's hint for a file with no import/export and no exports/module use. Such a file reached through an "import" condition was ESM by the condition. It now follows the Unknown rules (ESM unless it uses require, __dirname or __filename). A .cjs target of an "import" condition is now CommonJS.

Known gap, unchanged here: the resolver's enclosing_package_json skips a package.json without a "name" (#229). A nameless { "type": "module" } above the importer does not make it ESM for this decision, except when it sits next to a file resolved through an exports map (handle_esm_resolution reads the file's own directory). Node and esbuild use the nearest package.json whatever its name.

Unrelated, found on the way: bun build test/regression/issue/03844/03844.fixture.ts from the repo root fails with EISDIR reading file: "test" and trips assertion failed: crate::is_absolute(self.text) in a debug build. Handed off separately.

The bundler passed `isNodeMode = 1` to `__toESM` for every importer that
uses ESM syntax, because `input_module_type` came from `exports_kind`.
A default import of a CommonJS module that sets `__esModule` then got the
whole `module.exports` instead of `exports.default`, unlike `bun run` and
esbuild. TypeScript and Babel output sets that marker, so this broke the
default import of many packages (styled-components, react-bootstrap).

Carry the resolver's module type on `BundledAst` and hand that to the
printer. Only an ESM-by-type importer (`.mjs`, `.mts`, or package.json
`"type": "module"`) gets Node's interop. The external `require()` path
now prints `, 1` under the same rule, as esbuild does.

The resolver no longer turns a matched `"import"` or `"require"` export
condition into a module type, and the extension now wins over any
package.json `"type"`. Node decides the format of a file from its
extension and the nearest package.json only. A task that bypasses the
resolver (a plugin result, an in-memory source) falls back to the
extension, and a server component re-parse keeps the original's type.

Status

Reproduced with the released bun (1.4.1) on the snippet in the PR body: bun entry.ts prints function 1, bun build entry.ts && bun out.js prints object 1. esbuild 0.21.5 prints function 1, and , 1 only for a .mts importer or a "type": "module" package.

Fix is in this PR. Locally: test/bundler/bundler_cjs.test.ts 45/45 with the debug build, 17 of them fail on the released bun. The bundler and resolver suites listed in the body pass.

Supersedes #35656 (closed).

Walkthrough

Changes

The bundler now preserves resolved module type separately from ExportsKind. Resolver extension rules determine module type after package target resolution. Parse tasks, bundled ASTs, and JavaScript printing use this value for Node-compatible CommonJS interop. Tests cover extensions, package metadata, exports, dynamic imports, and external dependencies.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolver module-type resolution
src/resolver/resolver.rs, src/resolver/package_json.rs, src/resolver/lib.rs, src/options_types/bundle_enums.rs
Package resolution no longer carries mutable module-type state. Final .mjs/.mts and .cjs/.cts extensions determine the module type.

Bundled ASTs and parse tasks store resolved module types. Server-component reparsing preserves the original module type.
Module-type-aware interop printing
src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs, src/js_printer/lib.rs
The linker passes ast.module_type to the printer. External ESM require() wrappers receive the Node-mode argument.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes the bundler's CJS/ESM default-import interop semantics — user-visible output behavior — and rewires how the resolver assigns module_type (dropping the export-condition contribution and moving the extension check to run unconditionally over any package.json "type"), a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • The module_type plumbing through BundledAst, ParseTask::run, LinkerContext, and bundle_v2::enqueue_file — the new column is initialized on every construction path (empty_in, init, AstBuilder, server-components re-parse).
  • The resolver change in finalize_result: the extension check now keys off result.path_pair.primary.name().ext after all path rewriting, so .mjs/.cjs win over "type" regardless of how the file was reached; the removed ext.len() == 4 guard was redundant with the string map.
  • The printer's new , 1 on the external-require() __toESM wrapper mirrors the existing bundled-require_*() path and matches the esbuild output cited in the description.
  • The six existing bundler_cjs assertions that flipped from "whole exports object" to exports.default — each is a .js importer with no "type", consistent with the new rule.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes how bun build picks the isNodeMode argument to the __toESM interop helper. Previously it was derived from the parsed ExportsKind (any file with import/export syntax got isNodeMode=1); now it is derived from a new module_type: ModuleType column on BundledAst, populated from the resolver's determination — the file extension (.mjs/.mts/.cjs/.cts) or the nearest package.json "type". The resolver stops treating a matched "import"/"require" export condition as a module-type signal, and the extension check moves to the end of finalize_result to run unconditionally on the resolved primary path. ParseTask fills in the extension-derived type for tasks that bypass the resolver (plugin results, in-memory sources), and bundle_v2::enqueue_file threads the original file's module type into server-components SSR/browser re-parses. The printer also gains the , 1 suffix on the external-require() __toESM path. ~50 lines of source change, ~360 lines of new itBundled tests, plus three test/snapshot updates for the shifted output columns.

Security risks

None identified. This is bundler output-shaping logic; no untrusted input parsing, no auth/crypto/permissions surface. The resolver changes remove code rather than adding new lookup paths, and module_type_from_ext is a fixed comptime string map — making it pub doesn't expose anything sensitive.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is a user-visible behavioral change to CJS/ESM interop — a notoriously subtle area where "matches esbuild and Node" is the correctness bar and getting it wrong silently breaks default imports of TypeScript/Babel-compiled packages. Six pre-existing test assertions were flipped to the new behavior, and the resolver's module_type output is consumed elsewhere (the parser's ambiguous-file hint, per the PR notes), so the removal of the export-condition contribution has effects beyond the __toESM printer path. The PR description is unusually thorough (cites esbuild 0.21.5 output per importer kind, names the superseded PR, documents a known gap around nameless package.json), which raises confidence, but the semantic surface area warrants a maintainer confirming this is the interop model Bun wants to commit to.

Other factors

Test coverage is strong — 17 new itBundled cases covering .ts/.mjs/.mts importers, "type": "module"/"commonjs", per-file interop within one bundle, dynamic import with and without splitting, external CJS in CJS output, and four "exports"-map scenarios — and the PR states 17 of the 45 tests fail on released Bun (satisfying the "test fails without the fix" bar). The From<ExportsKind> for ModuleType impl and its comment stub are deleted with their last consumer, per the dead-code rule. The bundled_ast.rs field-count comment was updated (26 → 29), though I did not independently count. No CODEOWNERS check was performed; the bundler/resolver is core enough that maintainer sign-off is appropriate regardless.

…M argument

The happy-dom and libraries.js outputs no longer pass `, 1` to __toESM, so
their JS and bytecode hashes moved. Every CI platform (Linux glibc and musl
on x64 and aarch64, ASAN, Windows x64, macOS aarch64) produced the same new
values.

…amespace (#41162)

### Problem
- `import React from "react"` undoes the CommonJS to ESM lifting of
`react`, `react-dom`, `scheduler` and any `exports.x = ...` file.
`scanImportsAndExports.rs` put a `FORCE_CJS_TO_ESM` module back into a
`__commonJS` wrapper once one import record had
`CONTAINS_DEFAULT_ALIAS`. Every importer then read each hook through a
`__toESM` getter.
- A same-chunk `import()` of a lifted module had no `default` (#14061).

### Fix
- The linker binds the default import of a lifted module to its
`exports_ref`, like `import *`. The member binding from #41009 then
resolves `React.useState` to the lifted `$useState`. The namespace
object exists only when `React` escapes.
- A module that sets `exports.__esModule` keeps its wrapper when the
importer is not an ES module by type, because the default import then
depends on that flag at run time. The new AST flag
`COMMONJS_LIFTED_TO_ESM` excludes real ESM files of the react family.
- A same-chunk `import()` of a lifted module prints `__toESM((init_x(),
exports_x))`, so `default` is `module.exports`.
- Verified: `test/bundler/bundler_cjs2esm.test.ts` (14 new tests, all
fail on the released bun), `bundler_cjs.test.ts`, and the suites in the
notes.

### Background
- Lifting turns `exports.foo = x` into `var $foo = x; export { $foo as
foo }`. The default import of a CommonJS module is `module.exports`. For
a lifted module that is the module namespace, so `React.useState` reads
a static export.
- `exports_ref` is the symbol of a module's namespace object.
`bind_import_property_accesses` (#41009) rewrites `X.name` on an import
bound to it into the export and drops the use of `X`, so the namespace
part tree-shakes.
- `__toESM(mod, isNodeMode)` builds the ESM view of a CommonJS object:
`default` is `mod` unless `mod.__esModule` is truthy and `isNodeMode` is
0 (#41150).

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

Suites run: `esbuild/importstar`, `esbuild/importstar_ts`,
`esbuild/default`, `esbuild/dce`, `bundler_splitting`,
`bundler_edgecase`, `bundler_jsx`, `bundler_npm`, `bundler_barrel`,
`bundler_minify`, `bundler_browser`, `bundler_bun`, `bundler_loader`,
`bundler_plugin`, `bundler_compile`, `bundler_string`, `bundler_html`,
`bun-build-api`, `transpiler/react-compiler`, `regression/issue/03844`.

`this` in a bound call: `React.createElement(...)` compiles to
`$createElement(...)`, so `this` is `undefined` instead of
`module.exports`. That is what a named import of the same lifted module
already did, and what the `import *` member binding (#41009) and esbuild
do for namespace members. The react family never reads `this` in an
exported function (the files are compiled from ES modules, where
module-level `this` is `undefined`). A module whose exported function
reads `this` keeps it only when the call goes through the namespace
object.

Measured on the repro from the request, with `react@19.2.8` and
`NODE_ENV=production --minify`: `import React from "react"; export const
el = React.createElement("div")` went from 8206 to 1392 bytes, the same
as the `import *` form. A small counter app with `react` and
`react-dom/client`, `--production --target=browser`: 192699 to 185777
bytes.

Semantics, all identical to the existing `import *` path documented in
`docs/bundler/index.mdx`: `React === R` for `import * as R` (the
namespace object doubles as `module.exports`), the namespace object has
no separate `default` key, and `React.fn()` passes `undefined` as
`this`. Node gives `module.exports` as `this` there.

Key order: `Object.keys(React)` on an escaped default import used to be
assignment order (through `__toESM`) and the `import *` namespace was
sorted. Both are assignment order now (`doStep5.rs` skips the sort for a
lifted module). Two tests in `bundler_cjs.test.ts` changed:
`__toESM_import_syntax_namespace` (order) and
`__toESM_mixed_import_styles` (the `import *` namespace no longer has a
`default` key once the module stays lifted; a lone `import *` never had
one).

Decision table for `import X from "./lifted"`, by the lifted module's
exports and the importer's module type:
- no `__esModule`: `X` is the namespace, for any importer. `X.default`
is the lifted `default` export if there is one, and otherwise the
namespace itself, the same as `ns.default` on `import * as ns` (so `X
=== ns` and `X.default === ns.default`).
- `__esModule` and an ESM-by-type importer (`.mjs`, `.mts`, `"type":
"module"`): `X` is the namespace (Node ignores `__esModule`).
- `__esModule` and any other importer: the module keeps its `__commonJS`
wrapper and `__toESM` decides at run time, as before. `.default` on a
namespace of such a module (`import * as ns`, `export * as Lib`) stays a
property read, so it is `exports.default` (`undefined` when absent), as
`__toESM` would give.

`ns.default` on `import * as ns from "./lifted"`: when the module
exports `default`, it stays bound to that export (the namespace object's
own `default` key, as before). Otherwise it takes the same table, so
`ns.default === ns` without `__esModule`, where it was `undefined`
before. #34935 reports the missing `default` and proposes to wrap the
module instead.

`import()`: a same-chunk dynamic import of a lifted `Esm` module used to
print `Promise.resolve().then(() => (init_x(), exports_x))`, with no
`default`. It now prints `__toESM((init_x(), exports_x))`, with `, 1`
for an ESM-by-type importer. The printer change moves the comma-operator
parentheses inside the `__toESM(` call. The three scenarios from #35696
(`await import()`, `yield import()`, mixed static named import) pass
without a wrapper. A split `import()` keeps the synthetic default export
it had.

Found on the way and handed off: `sideEffect(); module.exports =
require("./x")` in a react-family package (`react-dom/index.js`,
`react-dom/client.js`) never takes the `export *` conversion in
`parse_entry.rs`, so those two files keep their wrapper in production
builds.

… no default (#41213)

### Problem
- Since #41150, `import D from "pkg"` in a `.js` or `.ts` file gives `D
=== undefined` after `bun build` when the CommonJS package sets
`__esModule` and has no `default` property. Affected packages include
rxjs, redis, mobx, path-to-regexp, react-router-dom, yup and formik.
`bun run`, Node and the bundler before #41150 give `module.exports`.
- Cause: `__toESM` (`src/runtime.js:59`) returns `mod.default` when
`__esModule` is truthy and the importer is not in node mode. #41150 took
`.js` and `.ts` importers out of node mode.

### Fix
- `__toESM` returns `mod.default` only when `mod` has its own `default`
property. Otherwise the default import is `mod`. This is the `bun run`
rule (`populateESMExports`,
`src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSModule.cpp:998`).
- The #41150 fix stays. A module with `__esModule` and `default`, such
as styled-components, still gives `exports.default`.
- `lifted_default_import_needs_wrapper`
(`src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs:4232`) applies the same rule to the
static binding of a lifted module.
- Verified: `test/bundler/bundler_cjs.test.ts` and
`bundler_cjs2esm.test.ts` (7 cases fail on main). The other suites are
in the notes.

### Background
- `__toESM(mod, isNodeMode)` is the runtime helper that builds the ES
module view of a CommonJS module in a bundle. `isNodeMode` is 1 for an
`.mjs`, `.mts` or `"type": "module"` importer.
- TypeScript and Babel set `exports.__esModule = true` when they compile
an ES module to CommonJS. A file with only named exports gets the marker
and no `default`.
- A lifted module is a CommonJS file of the React family. The bundler
turns its `exports.x = ...` assignments into ES exports (#41162).

# entry.ts: import D from "nodefault"; console.log(JSON.stringify(D));
bun entry.ts                                          # {"foo":"foo"}
bun build entry.ts --outfile=out.mjs && bun out.mjs   # undefined on canary, {"foo":"foo"} with this change
```

Real packages, `import D from "<pkg>"` in a `.ts` file, bundled and run.
Canary gives `undefined` and this branch gives the exports object for:

- rxjs, path-to-regexp, esprima, redis, mobx, mobx-react-lite,
react-router-dom (`--target=bun` and `--target=node`)
- yup, history, class-validator, class-transformer, formik
(`--target=node`). With `--target=bun` these resolve to an ES module
entry with no default export, and the build fails on every version.

esbuild's `__toESM` gives `undefined` for this shape. This change
follows `bun run` and Node instead, so a bundle behaves like the
unbundled code.

Expectation updates: the minified helper is 22 bytes longer. That moves
the line 1 columns and the file size in `npm/ReactSSR`, the first
mapping in `edgecase/EmitInvalidSourceMap2`, the
`BundledReactPreservesImportRefs` snapshot, and the two bundler entries
in `bundler_bytecode_portable.test.ts` (the `js` hash, and the bytecode
built from it).

Unchanged: an `.mjs` importer still gets Node's interop, the whole
`module.exports` even when `default` exists. `bun run` gives
`exports.default` there. That difference predates #41150.

Suites run with the debug build: `bundler_cjs`, `bundler_cjs2esm`,
`transpiler/react-compiler`,
`esbuild/{importstar,importstar_ts,default,splitting,extra,dce}`,
`bundler_{npm,edgecase,splitting,barrel,regressions,bun,browser,loader,plugin}`,
`bun-build-api`, `bundler_bytecode_portable`, `regression/issue/03844`.
A few bytecode tests in the last two exceed the 5 s default timeout in a
debug build. They pass with `--timeout`.

### Problem
- Regression on main from #41150. No release has it. `bun build` reads
`"type"` from the wrong package.json, so it misses a `{ "type": "module"
}` that has no `"name"`. Two common places: a project root, and a dual
package's `dist/esm/package.json`.
- A `.js` or `.ts` file there gets `exports.default` for the default
import of a CommonJS module with `__esModule`. Node, esbuild and bun
1.4.0 give the whole `module.exports`. The bundle has
`__toESM(require_tsdep())`, without `, 1`.
- Cause: `finalize_result` (`src/resolver/resolver.rs:1669`) read
`"type"` from the package root, or else from `enclosing_package_json`.
`dir_info_uncached` (`src/resolver/resolver.rs:6357`) sets that field
only for a named package.json (#229).

### Fix
- `DirInfo` gets `package_json_for_module_type`: the nearest
package.json in the directory or above it, named or not.
`finalize_result` reads `"type"` from it for the primary path. The
extension still wins.
- Correct because esbuild uses this rule, and Node ignores `"name"` too.
- Only the bundler reads `Result.module_type`. `enclosing_package_json`
does not change. The four runtime lookups in `src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs`
are out of scope.
- Verified: `test/bundler/bundler_cjs.test.ts`, 10 new cases, 9 fail on
main. Self-reviewed: 3 concerns raised, 3 addressed. Other suites in
Notes.

### Background
- `__toESM(mod, isNodeMode)` builds the ESM view of a CommonJS module.
With `, 1` (Node mode), `default` is the whole `module.exports`. Without
it, `default` is `mod.default` when `__esModule` is set.
- `DirInfo` is the resolver's cached record for one directory. Its
"enclosing" fields come from the parent.
- Open PRs in this area: #33883, #33807, #33890, #40940. This PR
supersedes none. Notes cover #40940.

Found by comparing `bun build` on main with bun 1.4.0, Node 26 and
esbuild 0.25. No issue is open for it.

Repro for the dual-package face:

```sh
D=$(mktemp -d); cd $D; mkdir -p node_modules/pkg/dist/esm node_modules/tsdep
echo '{"name":"tsdep","version":"1.0.0","main":"index.js"}' > node_modules/tsdep/package.json
echo 'Object.defineProperty(exports,"__esModule",{value:true}); exports.default=function styled(){}; exports.css="css";' > node_modules/tsdep/index.js
echo '{"name":"pkg","version":"1.0.0","main":"./dist/esm/index.js"}' > node_modules/pkg/package.json
echo '{"type":"module"}' > node_modules/pkg/dist/esm/package.json
echo 'import styled from "tsdep"; export const seen = typeof styled + "/" + typeof styled.default;' > node_modules/pkg/dist/esm/index.js
echo 'import { seen } from "pkg"; console.log(seen);' > app.mjs
node app.mjs                                                              # object/function
bun build ./app.mjs --target=node --outfile=out.mjs && node out.mjs       # main: function/undefined, this PR: object/function
```

For the project-root face, put `{ "type": "module" }` (no `"name"`) in
the project's package.json and bundle a `.js` file that imports `tsdep`.

Faces of the bug on main. Each has a test:

- A project package.json with `"type"` and no `"name"` (case 58).
- The nested marker reached through `"main"`, `"module"` or a relative
path (cases 53, 55, 56). Through an exports map it worked, because
`handle_esm_resolution` reads the file's own directory.
- A nested package.json with a `"name"`, reached through `"main"` (case
54). `result.package_json` was the package root, so the nested file was
not read at all.
- A file in a subdirectory of the marker (case 57).

Why a new field instead of widening `enclosing_package_json`: that field
also names the package for `sideEffects`, the auto-install version gate
and `bun run` script discovery. #33883 widens it for every consumer and
had to rework the `sideEffects` loop in `finalize_result` to keep the
DCE tests passing.

Four cases pin the lookup rule. Each result matches esbuild 0.25.1:

- Case 59: a nameless `{ "type": "commonjs" }` below a `"type":
"module"` package wins, because it is the nearest.
- Case 60: a nearest package.json without `"type"` is the scope. The
lookup does not continue to a typed package root, so the importer is not
ESM by type. Main read the root's `"type"` here. Node prints
`object/function` for this shape, but only because it detects ESM syntax
in a file with no `"type"`. #41150 chose the esbuild rule for such
files.
- Case 61: the lookup does not stop at a `node_modules` directory. A
package without a package.json of its own takes the `"type"` above it.
Node prints the same result.
- Case 62: only the primary path decides. With the default target,
`"module"` is the primary path and `"main"` is the fallback for
`require()`. The fallback's package.json does not count. esbuild has the
same check. The case fails when the check is removed.

Overlap with #40940: it adds a field with the same name, but its lookup
stops at `node_modules`, and the runtime reads it too. If #40940 lands
after this PR, it must choose one rule for the field. Case 61 pins the
crossing for the bundler. Node's stop can still apply at the runtime
read sites. #40940 also calls the lookup for the fallback path, which
case 62 rejects.

Out of scope: the runtime's four lookups (`src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs`
lines 1474, 2972, 3220 and 4071) keep
`package_json().or(enclosing_package_json)`. So `bun run` still skips a
nameless package.json above the file's own directory. That gap predates
#41150. For this import, `bun run` 1.4.1 gives `exports.default` for
every importer, even `.mjs`.

Self-review, the three concerns and what changed:

- Document the `node_modules` rule on the field. Done in
`src/resolver/dir_info.rs`.
- Add a default-target case with both `"main"` and `"module"`. That is
case 62.
- Say in this body that no release has the bug, lead with the
project-root face, and name the runtime lookups that stay.

Suites run with the fix on a debug ASAN build, after a rebase on main:
`bundler_cjs` (62), `esbuild/packagejson`, `esbuild/dce`,
`esbuild/default`, `bundler_cjs2esm`, `bundler_npm`, `bundler_edgecase`,
`bundler_regressions`, `bundler_splitting`, `bundler_barrel`,
`cli/run/run-cjs`, `test/js/bun/resolve`. All pass except the second
case of `test/js/bun/resolve/load-same-js-file-a-lot.test.ts`. It times
out at 5 s on this build with and without this change (back-to-back runs
on the same machine).
