- Generate optimized bytecode for compiled executables (bytecode optimizer runs at image generation). - Emit a pre-resolved module graph alongside module_info for standalone executables (imports resolved to (module index, export index), names as string-table indices, per-entry closure lists) and hand it to JSC's module loader so bundled modules are registered in one pass without per-import export resolution or specifier hashing. - Mark the embedded bytecode payload as integrity-verified so JSC skips per-block CRCs. - Startup JIT deferral for standalone executables: tier-up thresholds are scaled until the event loop first idles (BUN_STARTUP_JIT_DEFERRAL=0 to disable). Requires the WebKit branch claude/lazy-codeblock.

Inline comments:
In `@packages/bun-usockets/src/eventing/epoll_kqueue.c`:
- Around line 546-547: Ensure the documented 100 ms idle termination trigger
applies consistently on Windows by adding equivalent idle-duration measurement
and Bun__JSC_onLongIdleWait invocation to the libuv path around
tick_possibly_forever, or qualify the bun.d.ts documentation to state that this
trigger is limited to epoll/kqueue platforms. Preserve the existing maxMs and
event-loop behavior.
In `@scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts`:
- Line 6: Keep the WEBKIT_VERSION update blocked while WebKit#588 remains open;
after it merges, replace the preview identifier in WEBKIT_VERSION with the
immutable merged commit SHA and preserve the resulting generated
process.versions.webkit value.
In `@src/jsc/bindings/headers-handwritten.h`:
- Around line 136-138: Update the FFI layout assertions for Bytecode and
ResolvedSource to use the existing Rust layout macro for boolean and nested
fields, including Bytecode::owned, persistent, integrity_verified and
ResolvedSource::is_prelinked_module. Correct the flattened C++ offset assertions
so bytecode_cache is 80 and module_info is 104, and ensure ResolvedSource
asserts is_prelinked_module at offset 77 rather than relying only on aggregate
size or pointer offsets.
In `@src/runtime/api/JSBundler.rs`:
- Around line 646-647: Update the optimize startup-JIT-deferral parsing around
startup_jit_deferral_ms to track whether the configuration key was explicitly
provided, including true, false, or an empty object. Use this explicit-provided
flag in the compile validation near the existing startup_jit_deferral_ms check
instead of Option::is_some(), so every configured startupJITDeferral value
requires compile: true.
- Around line 630-632: Update the optimize parsing in the JS bundler
configuration to read the raw property with get_own before checking its type, so
optimize: false is recognized and disables both bytecode optimization and module
prelinking. Preserve the existing object-based bytecode, prelinkModules, and
startupJITDeferral handling under an optimize object branch, and return an error
for unsupported optimize types.
In `@src/standalone_graph/StandaloneModuleGraph.rs`:
- Line 3187: Clarify the doc comment for startup_prefetch_span to explicitly
identify bytecode_string_table as the only string table included, while
preserving the current span boundaries and exclusion of module_info_string_table
and prelinked_module_graph.
- Around line 1622-1628: Replace the inline prelinked-graph byte slice parsing
in the module-count calculation with the named
prelinked_module_graph::module_count(bytes) accessor. Move the offset, magic,
and version validation into that accessor, return Option<u32> for invalid or
incomplete data, and preserve the existing usize conversion and zero fallback at
the call site.
In `@test/bundler/bundler_compile_prelinked.test.ts`:
- Around line 71-74: Update the run configuration in the eachMode callback so
the explicit run.file target uses the normalized compiled executable path when
compile runs on Windows, including the .exe suffix for paths containing
directories. Preserve the existing "dist/out" target for non-Windows compilation
and the current conditional behavior when entries is absent.
In `@test/js/bun/compile/startup-jit-deferral.test.ts`:
- Line 76: Add a second stdin scenario alongside the existing Blob-backed case
in the startup JIT deferral test, writing input through proc.stdin over a pipe
and covering the polling path through FileReader::on_read_chunk and
note_first_stdin_data. Keep the existing file-backed case unchanged.
- Line 126: Remove the explicit 60,000 ms per-test timeout arguments from both
affected tests in startup-jit-deferral.test.ts, leaving their test bodies and
assertions unchanged. Keep the timeout-free style used by the third test in the
file.
- Line 99: Update the seven assertions in the startup JIT deferral test to
assert only the deferral reason, excluding the hard-coded “scale was 8” suffix;
reuse the existing deferralLines parsing behavior and remove the now-unused
ENDED symbol.
- Around line 116-118: Make the busy.ts workload in the startup JIT deferral
test reliably trigger the tier-up check before asserting the deadline reason,
increasing the fresh-call workload beyond the current 200000 calls as needed.
Preserve the expected deadline output and exitCode assertion once the check is
deterministic.

src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp— ThisremoveEntrycall site still takesloader->cellLock()externally, but the WebKit bump makesJSModuleLoader::removeEntrytake its owncellLock()internally (as the five other updated call sites now note).cellLock()is non-recursive, sorequire()of an ES module that turns out to have TLA now self-deadlocks the mutator thread on the cleanup path where before it threw the "require() async module" TypeError. Fix: drop the outerWTF::Locker locker { loader->cellLock() };here, matching every otherremoveEntry/clearAllcaller updated in this PR.Extended reasoning...
The PR removes the caller-side
Locker { moduleLoader->cellLock() }at five sites (BunPlugin.cpp:162/699, ZigGlobalObject.cpp:778/3369, bindings.cpp:3169/5075) because the bumped WebKit'sJSModuleLoader::removeEntry/clearAllnow acquire the lock themselves — the diff annotates each with "takes the loader's cellLock itself". This sixth site at ZigGlobalObject.cpp:863-866 (in the sync-require-of-ESM path,!entryExistedBeforebranch) was missed because it callsloader->removeEntry(key)through a localloadervariable rather thanmoduleLoader()->.JSCell::cellLock()is a non-recursive spinlock (seeJSWritableStreamDefaultController.h:33comment "cellLock() is non-recursive"), so the outerLockeracquires it, thenremoveEntrytries to acquire the same lock again and spins forever. Trigger:require()of an ESM whose registry entry did not exist and whose evaluation is async (has TLA or an async dependency) — on base this throwsTypeError: require() async module ... use "await import()"; after this change the process hangs.Verification: normal — merging this PR turns a working error path on base into a mutator-thread self-deadlock. At
src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp:863-866(HEAD), the sync-require()-of-ESM cleanup path still holds the external lock:cpp if (!entryExistedBefore) { WTF::Locker locker { loader->cellLock() }; loader->removeEntry(key); }This PR's WebKit bump makes… | normal — The WebKit bump…

… time and assert stderr (#42358) ### Problem - `test/bundler/bundler_compile_prelinked.test.ts` takes 81 s on the Windows 11 aarch64 lane (build 114078). It links 26 executables one after the other and runs each one 3 times. - About 62 s of that is Smart App Control: the first `CreateProcess` of a new executable blocks about 2.4 s. `Bun.spawn` makes that call on the JS thread, so `describe.concurrent` alone cannot overlap it (74.5 s to 69 s). ### Fix - The block is `describe.concurrent`. A `beforeEach`/`afterEach` pair lets 3 cases link at once on release builds and 1 on ASAN and debug builds (the split #39649 measured). - On Windows the executables start through `cmd.exe /d /c`. The wait happens in `cmd.exe`, and the cases overlap it. - Every run asserts an empty stderr (75 new checks). `GeneratedGraph+splitting` pins each loader hook count: `resolve` is 5 with the graph, 252 without (was `<= 6`, `> 63`). The module-load `Bun.spawnSync` probe is gone. - Verified, main to branch: Windows 11 arm64 74.5 s to 27 s, Windows Server 2019 x64 11.9 s to 5.8 s, Linux x64 release 6.5 s to 2.9 s. `bun bd test` is unchanged (1 slot). All 27 tests and 3 loader modes still run. ### Background - Smart App Control is a Windows 11 code integrity policy, in evaluation mode by default. #41550 (open) turns it off on the runners. - Bun runs concurrent tests 20 at a time with no per-describe limit. 20 links at once ran CI out of memory before. - A loader mode is one environment for the same executable: graph in use, graph cross-checked, graph off. <details><summary>Notes</summary> **Where the time goes.** Probe on a Windows 11 arm64 VM with Smart App Control in evaluation mode (`Get-MpComputerStatus` reports `SmartAppControlState: Eval`, the same as the CI image): `bun build --compile --bytecode` 260 to 330 ms, first launch of each new executable 2.4 to 2.7 s, second and third launch 16 ms. The `Bun.spawn()` call itself returns after 2.3 to 4.0 s for a new executable and after 2 to 3 ms for a known one. Eight cases started at once take 22.0 s with a direct spawn (the same as serial) and 5.8 s through `cmd.exe /d /c`, where the `Bun.spawn()` call returns in 7 ms. During one first launch `MsMpEng` uses about 1.7 s of CPU. Pinning the test process tree to 4 or to 2 cores does not change the file's time (28.0 s and 27.2 s), so the 4 vCPU runners should see a similar gain. **Whole file, `bun test` with a release build, main to this branch.** | machine | main | branch | | --- | ---: | ---: | | Windows 11 arm64, 16 vCPU, Smart App Control in evaluation mode | 74.5 s | 26.2 to 35.2 s (7 runs, median 28.0 s) | | the same, without the `cmd.exe` launcher | | 69.0 s | | Windows Server 2019 x64, 16 vCPU | 11.9 s | 5.8 s (6.4 s without the launcher) | | Linux x64, release, 5 interleaved pairs | 6.3 to 6.9 s | 2.4 to 3.4 s | | Linux x64, `bun bd test` (debug + ASAN, 1 slot) | 107.5 s, 127.8 s | 114.0 s, 99.4 s, 99.0 s | Slot count on the Windows 11 VM: 2 slots 38.3 s, 3 slots 27 s, 4 slots 22.9 s, 6 slots 17.0 s. The file uses 3 on every release build, the number #39649 checked on the 4 vCPU, 8 GB Linux lanes. **Per lane in build 114078** (all in the parallel bucket): windows 11 aarch64 80.55 s, darwin x64 44.52 s, debian x64-asan 37.19 s, windows 2019 x64 17.27 s, debian x64 9.68 s, ubuntu x64 9.60 s, ubuntu aarch64 7.20 s, alpine x64 7.18 s, debian aarch64 7.08 s, alpine aarch64 5.00 s, darwin aarch64 4.31 s. In that batch of 189 files (91 s) this file was the critical path on Windows 11. **ASAN and debug stay serial.** Locally the link is 2.5 to 2.9 s of a 3.5 s case with the 812 MB debug binary, and each run is about 0.3 s. #39649 tried 3 links at once on the x64-asan lane: the file got slower there (170 s against 107 s), because the link is three passes over the binary and the lane is bound by writeback. One slot under `describe.concurrent` behaves like today. **The three runs of one executable do not overlap.** After the first launch a run takes 5 ms on Linux and 16 ms on Windows, so there is nothing to gain on release builds. On debug builds it would save about 0.6 s per case, and it needs a change to the run loop in `expectBundled.ts`, which every bundler test file shares. **`bunArgs`.** `expectBundled` builds the command as `[...bunArgs, file, ...args]` for a compiled executable, so the launcher needs no change to the helper. `cmd.exe /d /c <path>` passes stdio and the exit code through. It works for paths with spaces and `+` (probed). It does not work for a temp directory whose path contains `&`, `(`, `)`, `^` or `%VAR%`. **Loader counts.** With `BUN_JSC_dumpModuleLoadingState=1` JSC prints one `Loader [hook] key` line per host hook call. Linux x64 release, Linux x64 debug, Windows 11 arm64 and Windows Server 2019 x64 all print the same table: `resolve` 5 (bun:main twice, the entry, m24 twice) with the graph, 252 without it, `fetch` 3, `evaluate` 63, `import` 1, and no other line on stderr. **The probe.** `hasPrelinkOptions` let an older bun fail only in the loader log check. That was for the fail-before run of #42002. A bun without the options now fails the second and third run of every case with `invalid JSC environment variable`, which is also a clear failure. **Slots.** 45 concurrent tests with 3 slots, one test that throws and one that times out: 45 ran, at most 3 held a slot, no slot leaked. `afterEach` runs after a failed or timed out test. The per-test timeout starts when the test callback starts (`on_entry_started` in `src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs`), so the wait in `beforeEach` does not count against it. The reported duration of a test does include the wait. </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **no test proof** · iteration 1 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/bundler/bundler_compile_prelinked.test.ts <!-- robobun:evidence:end -->

…e try range runs into the next (oven-sh/WebKit#629) (#42787) ### What this fixes In DFG-compiled code, a local that is live only at the head of a `catch` handler came back as `undefined` after an exception whenever that handler's try range was followed *directly* by another one. Two ways to get that bytecode layout: **`bun build --bytecode` (regression from #42002).** The bytecode optimizer deletes the `jmp` that closes a try body once an empty `catch {}` has been threaded to the loop header, so the catch's range falls through into the next one. This then breaks after tier-up: ```js function f(kind) { for (let name of ["a", "b"]) { try { return JSON.parse(kind === "k" && name === "b" ? "1" : "{bad"), true; } catch {} } return false; } // TypeError: undefined is not a function (near '...name of ["a", "b"]...') ``` It is not specific to for-of or to `JSON.parse`: a `while (true)` inside `try … finally`, or a labelled `break` into code that starts with a `try`, loses whatever only the loop uses, and when that is a number nothing throws — a loop-only `doubled` silently became `NaN`. Building with `--no-optimize-bytecode` / `optimize: { bytecode: false }` avoided it. **`using` (not a regression, all bytecode).** The dispose call's synthesized catch range ends right at the call, inside the enclosing handler's range. A dispose method that threw after the body also threw reported its own `Error` instead of a `SuppressedError` carrying both, once the function was optimized. ### Cause and fix (oven-sh/WebKit#629) `DFG::LiveCatchVariablePreservationPhase` flushes, when the covering exception handler changes, every local live at the catch head of the handler being left. The lookup of the *new* handler overwrote that live set before the flush ran, so a direct A → B transition flushed B's set for A. Locals live only at A's catch were then dead in the block, and the exception OSR exit to A's `op_catch` recovered them as `undefined`. Stock `try`/`catch` always ends a range with an explicit `jmp`, so only the two layouts above reach it. The phase now looks the handler up, flushes with the old set, and only then computes the new one, keyed on (handler, inline call frame) so recursive inlining keeps following the frame. The fixing line is the reordering in `handleBlockForTryCatch`; everything else in that diff is the lookup returning the pair. ### Also in this WebKit range `9b02218df662..65513e295c73`: oven-sh/WebKit#657 (suspended generators keep their scopes' SymbolTables), #658 (MicrotaskCallCache over zeroed storage), #583 (no weak `Bun__thisThreadHasVM` fallback — bun defines it in `VirtualMachine.rs`), #627 (`JSModuleLoader::clearAll()` in one pass), #624 (DFG constant-folding a module variable across an import cycle). ### Tests - `test/bundler/bun-build-compile.test.ts` → `locals live only at a catch inside a loop`: builds a fixture with `bun build --bytecode` and runs it; covers for-of (result discarded and used), `while` inside a user `finally`, labelled `break` into a `try`, the loop-only number that turns into `NaN`, the for-of inlined into a caller, and a recursively inlined try/catch on source (that last one is a no-regression check for the inline-frame keying, it passes before too). JIT thresholds are lowered in the child's environment so DFG is reached after ~100 calls; every case goes wrong within 70 iterations on the unfixed engine and the test runs 300. - `test/js/web/explicit-resource-management.test.ts` → `a dispose that throws after the body threw reports a SuppressedError from optimized code`. On `1.4.3-canary.1+7e56b402b` (unfixed): the two `--bytecode` cases fail (`loopOnlyNumber: got false:4:NaN`, `TypeError: undefined is not a function`) and the `using` test prints `Error | undefined | undefined`. With this PR (`bun bd test`, debug build on the published prebuilt) all of them pass. They pass on 1.4.2 as well for the `--bytecode` part, since that predates the optimizer. Supersedes #37941, which pinned a preview build of an earlier, now closed, version of the same engine fix (oven-sh/WebKit#417).

bun build --compile --bytecode --format=esm: the standalone payload carries, next to the bytecode, a graph of every bundled ES module with imports resolved to (module index, export index) and names as string-table indices. At runtime it is handed to JSC's module loader, which registers the bundle in one pass instead of resolving every import by name and hashing specifiers per edge.
