Problem

  • realm.importValue(specifier, "v") rejects with %ShadowRealm%.importValue requires |exportName| to exist in the |specifier| when the module has export const v = undefined, or an export let v that it assigns later. Node (--experimental-shadow-realm) resolves undefined.
  • The cause is in JavaScriptCore's importValue builtin (Source/JavaScriptCore/builtins/ShadowRealmPrototype.js): it read the export and treated the value undefined as a missing name. The proposal's ExportGetter checks HasOwnProperty(exports, name) and then reads the value.

Fix

Background

  • ShadowRealm.prototype.importValue(specifier, name) imports a module inside the shadow realm and resolves with one of its exports, wrapped for the caller: a primitive as is, a callable as a wrapped function, anything else rejects. The namespace object never crosses the boundary, so this lookup is the only place the export name is checked.
  • The wrapped-function this value fix from the same area is separate: [JSC] ShadowRealm: wrap the this value of a wrapped function call instead of dropping it WebKit#594, with its own Bun branch. It changes behavior (an object receiver throws) and waits for a decision.

WEBKIT_VERSION points at the preview build of oven-sh/WebKit#612.

ShadowRealm.prototype.importValue treated an export whose value is
undefined as missing. The ExportGetter checks HasOwnProperty(exports,
name) and then reads the value, so `export const v = undefined` and an
`export let v` that is assigned later now resolve.

Reproduced on Bun 1.4.3 (WebKit 2e2aa2290fac):

const r = new ShadowRealm();
await r.importValue("data:text/javascript,export const v = undefined", "v");
// TypeError: %ShadowRealm%.importValue requires |exportName| to exist in the |specifier|

Node 26.3 with --experimental-shadow-realm resolves undefined. The fix is in JavaScriptCore (oven-sh/WebKit#612); this PR pins its preview build and adds the test. test/js/bun/jsc/shadow.test.js fails on the current pin (1 of 2) and passes on a debug build against that branch.

This updates the bundled WebKit dependency for ShadowRealm.importValue behavior, but it still points to a temporary preview build. Replace it with the merged WebKit main commit before merging to ensure a stable, reproducible dependency.

Replace the preview identifier before merging.

WEBKIT_VERSION currently points to autobuild-preview-pr-612-43d09378. Keep this change blocked until WebKit PR 612 lands, then replace the value with the immutable commit SHA from merged WebKit main.

Proposed update
-export const WEBKIT_VERSION = "autobuild-preview-pr-612-43d09378";
+export const WEBKIT_VERSION = "<merged WebKit main commit SHA>";

The PR objective requires WEBKIT_VERSION to use the merged WebKit main commit before merge.
Based on learnings, preview pins are temporary and must remain blocked until upstream changes land.

Yes, that is the plan and the PR body says so: the pin moves to the merged oven-sh/WebKit main sha once oven-sh/WebKit#612 lands, before this merges. Leaving this thread open as the reminder.

@robobun, acknowledged. The thread remains open until oven-sh/WebKit#612 lands and WEBKIT_VERSION uses the resulting immutable main commit SHA before this PR merges.

Learning: For oven-sh/bun startup snapshot dependency updates, scripts/build/deps/mimalloc.ts and scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts may temporarily pin preview artifacts while the corresponding upstream pull requests remain unmerged. Keep the related pull request blocked from merging until those upstream changes land; then update both dependency pins and the matching process.versions assertion to immutable merged commit SHAs.

🔴 WEBKIT_VERSION is pinned to the ephemeral preview tag autobuild-preview-pr-612-43d09378; once oven-sh/WebKit#612 merges or closes, GitHub deletes that release and every fresh CI/contributor build 404s at the WebKit prebuilt download — main is broken until someone edits this file. Fix: swap to the merged oven-sh/WebKit main SHA (per landing-prs.md § Dependencies & vendoring, ephemeral preview/unmerged-PR pins are never merged) and confirm prebuilt artifacts exist for every platform × flavor before merge. The PR description already notes this is pending; flagging so it is not merged as-is.

Extended reasoning...

autobuild-preview-pr-* tags are transient — scripts/build/download.ts:314-332 documents that GitHub removes the preview release when the WebKit PR merges or closes, and turns the resulting 404 into a BuildError telling the developer to change WEBKIT_VERSION. On the base branch WEBKIT_VERSION is the stable 40-hex sha 2e2aa2290fac…, whose autobuild-<sha> release is permanent. After this diff, prebuiltUrl() (webkit.ts:68-75) resolves to …/releases/download/autobuild-preview-pr-612-43d09378/bun-webkit-<os>-<arch>*.tar.gz; that URL exists only while PR #612 is open. Once it merges, every clean build (fresh clone, CI cold cache) fails at the WebKit fetch step with the BuildError from download.ts:324. .claude/docs/landing-prs.md:47 explicitly forbids merging pins to preview tags/unmerged-PR builds, and .claude/commands/upgrade-webkit.md:34 says the bump to the merge-commit's autobuild-<sha> must happen before merging the bun PR. No safeguard prevents the merge itself — the source-lint test at test/internal/source-lints/webkit-prebuilt-url.test.ts:122 accepts any autobuild-*…

Verification: normal — acknowledged in diff: the PR description states "Move it to the merged main sha before this merges", which is a hazard flagged, not resolved; the code as-written still merges the ephemeral pin. scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:6 changes WEBKIT_VERSION from the permanent 40-hex sha "2e2aa2290fac856d6f451ceacb58f7f5b44dd057" to "autobuild-preview-pr-612-43d09378". prebuiltUrl()…

Agreed, and intended: this PR is not mergeable until oven-sh/WebKit#612 lands and this line moves to the merged main sha (its autobuild-<sha> release is permanent). The preview pin is only here so CI can run the new test against the engine fix now. Leaving the thread open as the blocker.
