Decide a directory watch event from the watchlist, not from the resolver's cached listing

[robobun]

Problem

• bun --hot and bun --watch abort with panic: internal error: entered unreachable code: EntriesOption::entries on non-Entries variant after one failed listing of a watched folder. A long path aborts with panic: range end index 4097 out of range for slice of length 4096.
• On Linux a rename-over save is lost after a failed lookup in the folder.
• Cause: the directory arm of on_file_update (src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs:921) read the resolver's cached listing, which can be a read error (src/resolver/lib.rs:1183), stale, or absent.

Fix

• The arm reads only the watchlist: it reloads the watched files of the event's folder that the event names (inotify) or that are gone (kqueue). The cache probes, tombstones, loader filter and path join are deleted.
• Correct because each file that main reloaded here is a File item of the watchlist.
• Verified: test/cli/hot/hot.test.ts, test/cli/watch/watch.test.ts (18 tests, 16 fail on main) and bun_watcher unit tests.
• Self-reviewed: 19 concerns raised, 14 addressed, 5 listed in the Notes as not fixed.

Background

• A save that replaces the inode leaves the file's watch on the old inode, so the folder's event is the only signal.
• A tombstone was the reloader's pointer to the last cached listing of a folder.
• Considered a variant check at the call site: it closes one of three aborts and a healed folder stays deaf.

Downsides

• Each named directory event walks the watchlist: 827 instructions at 4 items, 18773 at 1000 (main 1518). Binary: -3072 bytes.
• Two Bun.FileSystemRouter cases under --hot no longer reload (Notes). kqueue is not run.

Notes

Related to #30436 (its repro passes on main; the same program with an import that is saved by rename does not) and related to #9547 (a workspace package, on Linux, with the working directory at the workspace root). Neither abort has a user report.

Order. This supersedes #37276 (a guard on the probe, no human review since 2026-08-09). It should land before #40420, #39571 and #41534. #40420 keeps the tombstones and still unwraps the slot, so it rebases to the two bust sites. #39571 owns the descriptor gate, which is bun_watcher::REQUIRES_FILE_DESCRIPTORS here. #41534 reads the listing that this change deletes and has to be redone. The hot_reloader.rs hunk of #40258 drops. #44612 is stacked on this branch and is rebased, not closed. #42714 stopped the resolver from keeping file descriptors in watch mode, so the descriptor half of the deleted reset was already dead. The tombstones come from ddca89f.

What changed, by file.

• src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs: the POSIX Kind::Directory arm calls reload_watched_files_in. No line of the file names the listing cache any more. The two entry-point recovery blocks use MainFile::is_in_folder, so a folder that the watchlist has under a second spelling is still the folder of the entry.
• src/watcher/Watcher.rs: folder_hashes (the parent_hash of a folder, normalised to the trailing separator, plus the other Directory items that share its inotify watch descriptor) and names_file (last path component against the changed names, ASCII letter case ignored), with unit tests. The eviction list is a Vec: it was [u16; 8096] with an unchecked write. A path that does not fit in the path buffer returns ENAMETOOLONG: an imported asset whose path is exactly 4096 bytes aborted --hot with index out of bounds: the len is 4096 but the index is 4096.
• src/resolver: EntriesOption::entries is deleted (its two callers in the resolver use as_entries()), EntriesMap::get and RealFS.entries are pub(crate). Nothing outside the crate called them after this change.
• scripts/rust-miri.ts: bun_watcher joins the Miri lane for the unit tests.

Rule of the match. A watched file reloads when its kind is File, its parent_hash is that of the event's folder under any spelling that is a Directory item with the same watch descriptor, and its last path component is a name of the event (inotify) or the file is gone (kqueue, only for a NOTE_DELETE of the folder). On kqueue targets the file also needs a stored descriptor. The loader and dot-name filter is gone on purpose: a .md text import and a dot-named module now reload on a rename-over save.

Repro scripts, release builds. Exit 1 is the abort. chmod 300 under --hot; EMFILE with no chmod; four doors behind a heal (--watch with a lazy import, bun test --watch, Bun.build() under --hot, a .env save then an edit); a 4097-byte joined path under --hot and under --watch: main bd599f5 gives 1 1 1 1 1, this branch gives 0 0 0 0 0. After a healed listing failure 10 of 10 saves reload (main: abort at the first save). With the fault still present the first save reloads and fails with Cannot find module, the module leaves the watchlist, and the process lives.

Tests. On a release build of main 16 of the 18 fail: 5 with EntriesOption::entries on non-Entries variant, 1 with range end index 4097, 1 with index out of bounds: the len is 4096, 9 by a reload that does not come. The two that pass on both builds are a move away and create save and the negative test (a folder, or a file of another folder, with a watched name does not restart the program). That negative test fails when the File-only check or the folder check is removed. The 18 tests ran 300 times on a release build with 0 failures. bun bd test on test/cli/hot/hot.test.ts, test/cli/watch/watch.test.ts, test/cli/hot/watch-many-dirs.test.ts, test/cli/hot/watch.test.ts and test/cli/watch/watcher-trace.test.ts: 57 of 57 pass in one run. In a second run 56 of 58 pass, and the two that fail are not in this diff: does not take a promise of the program's, pending, for that of the entry point (it also fails 1 run of 6 on a release build of main, #44666 is open for it) and --watch works > with entry.js (five starts of the debug binary against a limit of 5 s; 1.2 s on a release build of main and of this branch). bun run rust:check-all: 12 ok. bun run rust:miri -p bun_watcher: 3 pass. The source lints in test/internal/source-lints: 173 pass. On macOS the read-error tests can fail before the fix only in the row that removes the folder, and that depends on how kevent batches the events. No test was run on macOS.

The deleted fd/need_stat reset had no reader. An instrumented build (not committed) logged each reset and each later read of a reset entry: 2228 resets and 0 reads over test/cli/hot and test/cli/watch, 72 resets and 0 reads in three probes (Bun.build() under --hot with nested folders, Bun.FileSystemRouter with reload() under --hot, a Worker that races resolves).

Cost, measured. Instructions inside on_file_update on the File Watcher thread for one directory event, counted by single-step in gdb (valgrind, perf, strace and bloaty are not installed here). main / this branch:

watchlist	new file, no loader	new .ts file	one-write save of a watched file
4 items	1104 / 834	1518 / 827	2111 / 1459
129 items, 125 in another folder		1518 / 3095	2741 / 3727
129 items, all in the folder		1518 / 7007 to 8627	2736 / 7459
1000 items, 996 in another folder	1147 / 18773	1518 / 18773	7096 / 19405
1000 items, all in the folder		1518 / 48815	7091 / 49267

That is 18 instructions per watch item and 48 per watched file of the event's folder. Mutex acquisitions per directory event on the watcher thread: 3 (main: 4 for a name with no loader, 5 for a new .ts file, 6 for a watched save). The break-even is between 15 and 38 watch items. A program that writes a file in a watched folder at a high rate pays the walk for each write. on_file_update is 4128 / 4128 / 4453 bytes (main 5163 / 5163 / 5718). Release .text is 88,767,873 bytes (main 88,770,945). Test time for the 18 tests: 3.2 s on a release build, 35 s on a debug ASAN build.

Not fixed here.

• The two Bun.FileSystemRouter cases. On main the router wrote the real path into the listing entry, and the arm read it. (A) a route file that is a symlink is retargeted by rename: belongs with the redo of hot reloader: follow a retargeted symlink on the import path #41534. (B) the pages folder is a symlink whose target is outside the working directory, and a lookup failed under the link first: the real folder is not a Directory item, so no spelling matches. Without a router neither case reloads on main.
• A cached read error stays in the resolver cache for the life of the process where no watcher event busts that folder, so Bun.build() keeps failing on a healed folder (src/resolver/lib.rs:1183, returned at every generation). resolver: keep cached DirEntry when a stale-generation refresh fails #36874 is the first half of that.
• A nameless inotify event that sorts first in a batch of more than 20 events makes WatchEvent::names slice out of range (src/watcher/Watcher.rs, names). It is handed off as its own change.
• Resolver::load_extension aborts with range end index 4097 out of range for slice of length 4096 for an import of a missing path of 4092 to 4096 bytes, with plain bun. Repro: in a folder whose absolute path is 3846 bytes, run a file with await import("./" + "n".repeat(246) + ".ts"), where that file does not exist. A name of 244 or 250 bytes rejects with Cannot find module.
• A workspace package with the working directory inside packages/app, and a module outside the working directory, still do not reload. panic: Failed to enable File Watcher: EMFILE is watch: report a failed watcher init as an error instead of a crash #39629. A missing import that appears is watch: reload when a missing import appears, keep scanning after a resolve error #41461.
• inotify gives an event to the first item with the watch descriptor. The bust and the bake dev server still follow that first spelling. The fan-out belongs in bun_watcher.
• The arm evicts a watched file on each directory event that names it, as on main. Task::append posts after eight hashes, so bun test --changed --watch can rerun only part of the files after a save of many files, as on main (read from the code, not run).
• The letter-case match has a unit test and no spawned fixture, because CI file systems are case-sensitive. The eviction list has no test with more than 8096 evictions: the layout that reaches it needs 65536 descriptors.

[robobun]

Status: reproduced on a release build of main bd599f5 with four scripts. Each one ends with bun --hot or bun --watch dead (exit 134):

• chmod 300 on an imported folder under --hot, then three saves: panic: internal error: entered unreachable code: EntriesOption::entries on non-Entries variant.
• No chmod: a Bun.serve under --hot with ulimit -n 256, 512 clients take every descriptor, one lazy import fails with EMFILE, the clients leave, one more file is saved. The same panic.
• Four more ways to the same panic after the folder is readable again: bun --watch with a lazy import, bun test --watch, Bun.build() under --hot, a .env save then an edit.
• A new file whose folder plus name is 4097 bytes, under --hot and --watch: panic: range end index 4097 out of range for slice of length 4096.

With this branch all of them exit 0. The lost rename-over saves that this PR started with (a failed lookup, a lazy import) are still covered: their three tests time out on main and pass here.

Walkthrough

The filesystem watcher now uses dynamic eviction storage and adds folder-hash and filename-matching helpers. The hot reloader uses directory events to identify and queue watched files. CLI tests cover replacement saves, entrypoint recovery, path limits, and directory-listing errors.

Changes

Filesystem watch and reload behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update watcher registration and eviction src/watcher/Watcher.rs, src/watcher/lib.rs, scripts/rust-miri.ts	The watcher stores eviction indices in a vector, checks Linux and Android path lengths, and adds folder-hash and filename-matching helpers. The default Miri crate list includes bun_watcher.
Match directory events to watched files src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs, src/resolver/lib.rs, src/resolver/resolver.rs	The hot reloader matches directory events to watched files and handles entrypoint recovery across folder spellings. Resolver-entry lookup in this path is removed, and resolver entry access uses as_entries().
Test hot-reload recovery cases test/cli/hot/hot.test.ts	Tests cover directory-listing errors, long Linux paths, entrypoint recreation, rename saves, and reloads after a failed build.
Test replacement saves in watch mode test/cli/watch/watch.test.ts	Non-Windows tests cover replacement saves after failed lookups, lazy imports, symlinked directories, workspace packages, and unrelated path changes.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The fix is well-reasoned and the PR description is thorough, but a human look would still be worthwhile given it rewrites a cross-platform watcher path with unsafe and changes what runs on kqueue.

What was reviewed:

• The new dir+SEP+name join and bounds check — total length is checked before both copy_from_slice writes, and the borrowed changed_path/watched_path slices are only read before remove_at_index mutates state.
• The affected_inotify[i].unwrap() → match { None => continue } change and the deleted prev_entry_id dead-store — both are strict improvements.
• One thing worth a maintainer's eye: the old loop was gated on if let Some(dir_ent) = entries_option, and entries_option is only ever set under !IS_KQUEUE, so the if IS_KQUEUE { affected_kqueue[i] } arm was previously dead. This diff makes the whole mapping loop run on kqueue too. The kqueue affected list only contains deleted watched files, so the extra record_changed_path/remove_at_index is likely redundant with the File arm rather than harmful — but the new tests pass on both builds on macOS per the description, so they don't exercise this newly-live path.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR rewrites the directory-event arm of HotReloader::on_file_update in src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs. Previously, mapping a changed filename (from an inotify/kqueue directory event) onto the watchlist went through the resolver's cached DirEntry.abs_path, which is filled lazily and gets cleared when a failed lookup busts the directory cache — so atomic-save edits after a require("./missing") were silently dropped. The new code always joins the watched directory path + separator + changed name, hashes that, and looks it up directly in the watcher's own hashes/file_paths slices. It keeps the resolver-cache invalidation as best-effort bookkeeping but no longer gates the reload on it. Two new --watch tests reproduce rename-over and delete-recreate saves after a cache-busting failed lookup.

Security risks

None. This is file-watcher event mapping in the dev-time hot reloader; no auth, crypto, or untrusted-input parsing is involved. The new bounds check (len >= _on_file_update_path_buf.len()) guards the buffer writes against overflow, which is strictly safer than the old code's unchecked copy_from_slice.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The diff is not large but sits in a subtle area: cross-platform file watching with unsafe raw-pointer derefs, per-entry mutex discipline, and platform-gated control flow (IS_KQUEUE). REVIEW.md's cross-platform guidance ("audit siblings symmetrically or state why unaffected") applies directly. The PR description addresses macOS ("the per-file watch reports the rename itself") and Windows ("does not run the directory-event arm"), but the structural change of un-gating the loop from entries_option means the mapping now runs on kqueue where it was previously dead code — the if IS_KQUEUE { affected_kqueue[i] } branch inside the old if let Some(dir_ent) block could never execute since entries_option is only assigned under !IS_KQUEUE. This is almost certainly benign (kqueue's affected list is deleted watched files, which the File arm already handles, and a hash miss is a no-op), but it's a real behavior delta on macOS that the new tests don't cover (they pass on both old and new builds there).

Other factors

The tests follow file conventions well: they live in the existing watch.test.ts, use tempDir/bunExe/bunEnv, reuse the file's stdoutWaiter helper (awaiting stdout rather than sleeping), assign to the shared watchee for afterEach cleanup, and skip on Windows with a comment explaining why. The .unwrap() on affected_inotify[i] was replaced with match { None => continue }, matching the entrypoint-recovery block just above. The deleted "no-separator + one stale byte" fallback arm was demonstrably broken, so its removal is a straight win. Given the PR also references three other open PRs touching the same arm, a maintainer coordinating those should sign off.

The src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs hunk of this PR is included unchanged in #44612. That PR stops the FileSystemRouter from writing Entry.abs_path, and the router's write was what kept this lookup working for route files after router.reload(), so it needs this change. The three tests here pass on that branch and time out on 1.4.3. If this PR merges first, the hunk drops out of #44612.

[robobun]

I merged main into this branch. The only conflict was in test/cli/watch/watch.test.ts: I kept the tests from main and appended the three tests of this PR. The src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs hunk is unchanged. On a debug build of 13a98b0dbd plus this hunk the three tests pass, and they time out on 1.4.3.

#44612 is now stacked on this branch and no longer carries the hunk. It stops the FileSystemRouter from writing Entry.abs_path, so it needs this PR first.

A review of the combined diff raised these points about the hunk. I reproduced the first one. I did not verify the others or the suggested fixes.

1. A directory that is watched under two spellings. inotify returns one watch descriptor for a directory and for a symlink to it. watch_loop_cycle (src/watcher/INotifyWatcher.rs) gives the event to the first watchlist item with that descriptor. The join then uses the spelling of that item. Repro: link points to real, a lookup that fails goes through ./link/pages/ (this watches the directory under the link's spelling), then a module is loaded as real/pages/a.tsx and saved by rename. No reload follows. On 1.4.3 this reloads only when a Bun.FileSystemRouter over link/pages stored the real path in the entry of the link's listing. Without a router, 1.4.3 does not reload either. Possible fix: give the event to every watchlist item that has the descriptor, or on a miss join again with each other directory item that has the same eventlist_index.
2. The watchlist keeps the spelling of the import, inotify reports the name on disk. load_extension stores the import's spelling, so ./Foo is watched as .../Foo.ts when the disk has foo.ts. This loads on Linux only over a mount that ignores letter case (Docker Desktop bind mounts, WSL /mnt/c, CIFS, ext4 casefold). main matched such a file through the case-insensitive DirEntry::get and the entry's abs_path. Possible fix: on a miss, look for a file item in the same directory whose base name equals the changed name when ASCII case is ignored, and append the hash of that item.
3. The entry lookup that stays. bust_dir_cache runs before the loop and detaches the listing, so the entry that gets its fd and stat reset is not read again. tombstones then has no other use. dir_ent.entries() is an enum_unwrap! and aborts the watcher thread when the cached listing is an error slot.
4. Order with watcher: keep no descriptor for a watched file outside kqueue #39571. That PR keeps no descriptor for a watched file outside kqueue. If it lands first and the file_descriptors[entry_id].is_valid() gate stays, the match by path does nothing on Linux.

Code review completed

Nothing new to post: everything this review found is already covered by existing comments on this pull request or didn't merit a separate one.

[robobun]

I pushed 51a912d. It changes the design of this PR, so the title and the body are new.

What changed:

• The directory arm no longer joins the folder and the name and hashes the result. It reads only the watchlist. reload_watched_files_in reloads the watched files of the event's folder that the event names (inotify) or that are gone (kqueue).
• The arm no longer reads the resolver's listing cache. Both probes, the tombstones and the dir_ent.entries() call are deleted. That call aborted --hot and --watch when the cached slot was a read error: panic: internal error: entered unreachable code: EntriesOption::entries on non-Entries variant.

The four points of my comment of Oct 6:

1. Two spellings: fixed. bun_watcher::folder_hashes also takes the Directory items that share the inotify watch descriptor. New tests: a folder behind a symlink, a workspace package, an entry point whose folder was first watched under another spelling.
2. Letter case: the match of the last path component ignores ASCII case (bun_watcher::names_file, with a unit test).
3. The entry lookup that stayed: deleted, with the tombstones.
4. Order with watcher: keep no descriptor for a watched file outside kqueue #39571: the descriptor gate is bun_watcher::REQUIRES_FILE_DESCRIPTORS now, so the match still works on Linux after watcher: keep no descriptor for a watched file outside kqueue #39571.

This PR covers the abort that #37276 guards. #37276 stays open until a maintainer decides.

@Jarred-Sumner #40420 rewrites the same arm. It keeps the tombstones and still calls dir_ent.entries().get(changed_name). Which of the two do you want to land first? If this one lands first, #40420 keeps only its bust_dir_cache changes in this arm.

[claude]

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the behavior the rewrite drops from the old directory arm: the per-Entry fd/need_stat reset is moot because bust_dir_cache already drops the whole listing on the same path, and the ~/. name filter only ever excluded files that are not in the watchlist anyway. The two as_entries().expect("unreachable") in resolver.rs keep the same panic semantics as the removed enum_unwrap! accessor, and the evict_list Vec growth in remove_at_index runs under the watcher mutex that flush_evictions asserts.

Extended reasoning...

The change replaces the hot reloader's resolver-cache-based directory-event matching with a watchlist walk keyed on parent hash (src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs, src/watcher/Watcher.rs) and adds new watch/hot tests; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Two confirmed findings are posted inline (a macOS test hang and an ASCII-case-insensitive name match on Linux), so this note only records the dropped-behavior and refactor-equivalence checks that were examined and ruled out.

Run the isolated tests concurrently.

Each iteration gets a unique temporary directory, trace path, working directory, symlink, and spawned process. Use the established it.concurrent.skipIf form.

Review comment at @test/cli/hot/hot.test.ts at line 1145:
Update the isolated test declaration from `it.skipIf` to the established
concurrent skip form, `it.concurrent.skipIf`, so these independent test
iterations can run concurrently while retaining the Linux condition.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟡 src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs — nit: maintainers are left with a dead trait method after this merge. HotReloaderCtx::get_loaders (src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs:204) lost its only caller when the loader filter was removed from the directory arm, and nothing else in src/ calls it. Fix: delete the trait method and its two impls (hot_reloader.rs:112 for VirtualMachine, hot_reloader.rs:1170 for BundleV2) in this PR, since the change that makes code dead is the one that should remove it.

  Why this was flagged

  The diff deletes the block in on_file_update that consulted self.ctx.get_loaders().get(PathName::find_extname(changed_name)) to skip names with Loader::File. After that deletion a repo-wide grep for get_loaders finds only the trait declaration at src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs:204 and the two impls at src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs:112 and src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs:1170; there is no call site. Trait methods are public items, so no dead-code lint reports them. On the base branch the method was live; after the merge it is an unused accessor on every HotReloaderCtx implementor. No user-visible failure; this is a cleanup the repository review rules ask for in the same PR.

  Verification: nit. The diff for src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs deletes the only caller, the removed get_loaders() block inside the Kind::Directory arm. After the change get_loaders returns three hits, none of them a call: the trait declaration at src/jsc/hot_reloader.rs:204 and the impls at lines 112 and 1170. Because the trait is pub, rustc's dead-code lint will not flag the unused required method.

🟡 nit (optional): the PATH_MAX import test blocks the test runner's thread with spawnSync to create the fixture file, which the harness conventions reject in favour of async spawns. Fix: use await using proc = spawn({...}) plus await proc.exited (or Bun.spawn(...).exited) at hot.test.ts:1113 so the setup step is awaited like the rest of the test and can run under test.concurrent.

Why this was flagged

The row "an import whose path is PATH_MAX long" in test/cli/hot/hot.test.ts:1102 runs spawnSync({ cmd: [bunExe(), "-e", create], cwd, env: bunEnv }) to write the 4096-byte-path fixture. This is a synchronous subprocess inside an async test; the repository review rules list "async spawns over spawnSync" among the harness conventions reviewers enforce. The base branch has no such call in this file (the file only imported spawn before this change). No wrong behaviour results; it is a convention slip that makes the setup step uninterruptible and incompatible with running the case concurrently.

Verification: nit. Triggering condition: whenever the "an import whose path is PATH_MAX long" row runs on Linux. The diff adds import { spawn, spawnSync } from "bun"; and, inside the async test body at test/cli/hot/hot.test.ts:1102, runs spawnSync. This is a synchronous subprocess in an async test, which the repository review instructions list under "async spawns over spawnSync".

🟡 nit (optional): a maintainer running cargo test -p bun_watcher on Windows gets two failing unit tests that pass on Linux. names_file and parent_hash_of compare against bun_paths::SEP, which is \\ on Windows, but the ungated tests at src/watcher/Watcher.rs:1230 and src/watcher/Watcher.rs:1264 hard-code / paths. Fix: either gate the new mod tests (or these two cases) with #[cfg(not(windows))] like the existing descriptor test at Watcher.rs:1244, or build the fixture paths from SEP so every platform's native separator is used.

Why this was flagged

The new #[cfg(test)] mod tests in src/watcher/Watcher.rs:1202 is compiled on every platform; only folder_hashes_adds_the_other_spellings_that_share_the_watch_descriptor at Watcher.rs:1244 is gated to linux/android. names_file at src/watcher/Watcher.rs:1017 requires path[name_at - 1] == bun_paths::SEP, and parent_hash_of at src/watcher/Watcher.rs:970 checks dir.last() == Some(&bun_paths::SEP). bun_paths::SEP is \\ on Windows (SEP_WINDOWS at src/paths/lib.rs:65). The test names_file_compares_the_last_component_of_the_path at Watcher.rs:1264 asserts names_file(&names, b"/p/lib/b.ts") is true, which is false on Windows because byte 6 is /, not \\. The test folder_hashes_is_the_parent_hash_of_the_files_in_the_folder at Watcher.rs:1230 compares parent_hash_of(b"/p/lib", ..) with parent_hash built from dir_with_trailing_slash(), so it also fails there. CI only runs these on ubuntu (.github/workflows/rust-lints.yml:78), so the failure shows only for a developer running the crate's tests on Windows; the base branch had no unit tests in this crate.

Verification: nit — triggered when a maintainer runs cargo test -p bun_watcher on a Windows host; CI never does (.github/workflows/rust-lints.yml:76-78 is runs-on: ubuntu-latest). names_file requires path[name_at - 1] == bun_paths::SEP, so assert!(names_file(&names, b"/p/lib/b.ts")) at line 1268 fails. parent_hash_of appends bun_paths::SEP, so the assert_eq! at lines 1241-1242 fail.
