…S printer) console.log and Bun.inspect wrote a 16-bit object key with no escaping: a quote, a backslash and control characters reached the output as-is. 16-bit string values went through JSON.stringify (lowercase \u001b, toJSON called on String objects, line length counted twice) while 8-bit strings went through write_json_string (uppercase \u001B). Equal strings printed differently depending on their representation. Send both representations through write_json_string. For that, the UTF-16 path of write_pre_quoted_string reads a well-formed surrogate pair as one code point, as the UTF-8 path and esbuild do. A string literal with an astral character now prints like the same text from a text or JSON import: as-is for targets other than bun, and unchanged (\uD83D\uDE0E) for --target=bun.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes user-visible bundler/transpiler output for non-bun targets (astral characters now emitted literally instead of as \uHIGH\uLOW, busting content hashes once) and trades throughput on the 16-bit hot path, a human sign-off on those output and perf decisions would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- Surrogate-pair handling in both
write_pre_quoted_stringcopies —decode_surrogate_paironly returnsSomefor a well-formed high+low pair, so lone/reversed surrogates still fall through to the per-unit\uXXXXescape;width/clamped_widthadvance correctly on both the print-as-is andsurrogate_pair_escapebranches. WrappedWriter::write_json_stringbranches on the actual encoding tag (16-bit → Utf16,is_utf8()→ Utf8, else Latin1) and routes write failures toself.failedinstead of the removed.expect.- The deleted
write_16_bithelper has no remaining callers inConsoleObject.rs; the sibling copy inpretty_format.rsis intentionally left for a follow-up per the PR description. - Tests follow harness conventions (concurrent pipe drain,
finallyrestore ofString.prototype.toJSON,Buffer.allocover.repeat, encoding assertions before and after).
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR unifies how 8-bit (Latin-1) and 16-bit (UTF-16) JSC strings are escaped in Bun.inspect/console.log and in the shared JS/JSON string printer. In src/js_printer/lib.rs and its mirror src/bun_core/string/mod.rs, the UTF-16 branch of write_pre_quoted_string_inner now decodes a well-formed surrogate pair as a single code point (width 2) so it prints as one character, or one \uHIGH\uLOW pair under ascii_only, instead of two independent \uXXXX escapes. In src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs, three bespoke 16-bit branches (property keys, quoted strings, String objects) are replaced by a single WrappedWriter::write_json_string(EncodedSlice) that dispatches on the encoding tag to bun_js_printer::write_json_string. Tests in inspect.test.js, bundler_string.test.ts, and transpiler.test.js cover 8-bit vs 16-bit parity, lone/reversed surrogates, String objects, toJSON non-invocation, and 16-bit keys holding only Latin-1 characters.
Security risks
None identified. This is output-formatting code with no auth, crypto, path, or network handling. The only untrusted-input concern is bounds on the UTF-16 slice: the new i + 1 < n guard before reading text16[i + 1] is correct, and decode_surrogate_pair is a pure const fn that returns None unless the lead is in the high-surrogate range and the trail is in the low-surrogate range, so no code point outside U+10000..=U+10FFFF can reach encode_wtf8_rune or surrogate_pair_escape from this path.
Level of scrutiny
Medium-high. The escaper is a shared hot path used by the bundler, transpiler, and console formatter, and REVIEW.md flags "escaping/serialization lives in the output layer" and "when fixing one encoding branch, audit every sibling encoding path" as areas that block merges. The code change itself is small and mechanically sound, but it deliberately changes observable output: bun build --target=browser|node and Bun.Transpiler now emit literal astral characters in string literals (previously 👋), which busts content hashes once, and Bun.inspect on 16-bit strings now escapes U+2028/U+2029/U+FEFF and lone surrogates with uppercase hex where it previously printed them raw or via lowercase JSON.stringify output. The PR also self-reports a throughput regression on large 16-bit strings (~12 ms → ~21 ms for 2M CJK chars in release). These are product decisions a maintainer should ratify, not correctness bugs.
Other factors
Test coverage is thorough and follows the repo's conventions closely: Promise.all draining of subprocess pipes with a combined { stdout, stderr, exitCode } assertion, Buffer.alloc(n, fill) over .repeat, finally-restored global mutation of String.prototype.toJSON, toBeLatin1String/toBeUTF16String guards to prove each case exercises the intended encoding branch, and itBundled for the bundler variants across both browser and bun targets. The removed .expect("unreachable") calls are replaced by setting failed = true, matching REVIEW.md's "user-reachable failures are recoverable errors, never panics." The deleted write_16_bit helper has no remaining callers in ConsoleObject.rs; the acknowledged twin in src/runtime/test_runner/pretty_format.rs is intentionally deferred to avoid churning .snap files. No CODEOWNERS entries cover the changed paths. Given the user-visible output change and the hot-path perf tradeoff, deferring for a human sign-off rather than auto-approving.
The console key printer was its last caller outside Windows-only code. The two Windows callers now call index_of_any_t, which it wrapped.
…nter pretty_format.rs had the same raw 16-bit key branch as write_property_key in ConsoleObject.rs. Both printers now call bun_js_printer::write_json_string_encoded, so a key prints the same in a snapshot, a toEqual diff, a toBe message and Bun.inspect. A lone surrogate in a key prints as a \uXXXX escape in both printers.
…oth widths The runtime-encoding adapter in ConsoleObject.rs had one caller left, the Uint8Array-as-text arm of the error printer. It now calls the same WrappedWriter::write_json_string as keys and values. inspect.test.js: the 8-bit and 16-bit comparison is an it.each table with one row per place that prints a quoted string.

This PR now also carries #42299. Both PRs rewrote the same New in this push:
The title and the body describe the PR as it now stands. The body lists the two output changes that need a decision (the bundler output for astral characters, and the direction for snapshot keys), the carve-out if the snapshot change is not wanted, and the order against #31998, #41789, #36404, #37303, #39965 and #39745. I will close #42299 when CI on this head is green. |

Problem
console.log,Bun.inspectandbun:testwrite a 16-bit object key raw.console.log(JSON.parse('{"日本\\n[INFO] forged":1}'))prints a real line break, so untrusted JSON can forge a log line. An 8-bit key prints\n, as Node does. A snapshot with such a key can pass in a full run and fail under-t(Notes). Values differ too: a vertical tab prints as"\u000B"when 8-bit and"\u000b"when 16-bit.print_stringandwrite_property_key(src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs) and the key printer atsrc/runtime/test_runner/pretty_format.rs:970branch onis_16bit(). A fuzzer and a code read found this. No issue exists.Fix
bun_js_printer::write_json_string_encoded, for keys, values and[String: ...]. A snapshot, atoEqualdiff, atoBemessage andBun.inspectprint the same key text.write_pre_quoted_string_innerescaped each half of a surrogate pair in UTF-16 input. It now reads a well-formed pair as one code point, as its UTF-8 path does.bun build --target=browser|nodeprints an astral character in a string literal as-is (--target=bunis byte-identical). A stored snapshot changes if a 16-bit key has",\, a control character, U+2028, U+2029, U+FEFF or a lone surrogate. Jest prints keys raw.bun:testhas always escaped 8-bit keys. This PR extends that form (precedent: Fix 23382 (unicode object key printed as 'key" in snapshot instead of "key") #23390).inspect.test.js, one inbun-snapshots.test.ts,bundler_string.test.ts,transpiler.test.js. All fail on 1.4.3-canary.1. This PR includes Escape object keys the same way for Latin-1 and UTF-16 strings in bun:test and Bun.inspect #42299.Background
ConsoleObject.rsprintsconsole.log,Bun.inspectand theReceived:value oftoBe.pretty_format.rsis a fork that prints snapshots andtoEqualdiffs.write_pre_quoted_string_inner(src/js_printer/lib.rs) is the shared JS/JSON string escaper. Withascii_onlyit escapes all non-ASCII. The bundler sets that for--target=bunonly.Notes
This PR and #42299. #42299 fixed the same
key.is_16bit()branch ofwrite_property_key, and its copy inpretty_format.rs, withformat_json_string_utf8(&key.to_utf8(), ..). This PR fixed the branch inConsoleObject.rsonly, with a helper that also prints values. I built both and printed 20 keys with each (quotes, backslashes, C0 and C1 controls, DEL, U+2028, U+2029, U+FEFF, astral characters, lone and reversed surrogates). The two escapers agree on every key except one with a lone surrogate:to_utf8()replaces it with U+FFFD, this PR writes\uD800.pretty_format.rscannot print\uD800without the surrogate pair fix in this PR, so the two changes are one PR now. What moved here from #42299: thepretty_format.rshunk, the test inbun-snapshots.test.ts(plus a lone surrogate key), its key cases forinspect.test.js, and the removal ofindex_of_any16.If the snapshot change is not wanted, the carve-out is mechanical: drop the hunk in
pretty_format.rsand the test inbun-snapshots.test.ts. The rest does not depend on them.write_json_string_encodedtakes anEncodedSliceand picksEncoding::Utf16,Utf8orLatin1. It is inbun_js_printernext towrite_json_string, because both printer crates already depend on that crate. TheWrappedWriterof each printer has a one-linewrite_json_stringthat calls it and setsfailedon a write error. TheJSPrinterfacade inConsoleObject.rs(a runtime-encoding adapter) had one caller left, theUint8Arrayas text arm of the error printer. That arm now calls the same helper, and the facade is gone.The snapshot repro (fails on 1.4.3-canary.1, passes with this PR).
keys.txtis UTF-8. Line 1 iscafé say "hi", line 2 is日本, so the decoded file is a 16-bit string and so is each line cut from it.bun testwrites"café say \"hi\"": 1and passes again.bun test -t secondprints"café say "hi"": 1and fails.More examples of the old behavior (bun 1.4.3):
const p = path.win32.join("C:\\Users\\José", "new.js"); console.log({ [p]: p })prints"C:\Users\José\new.js": "C:\\Users\\José\\new.js". The key has single backslashes, the value has doubled ones.const v = "日本,a\x1b[31m".split(",")[1]; Bun.inspect([v])prints the escape for ESC with lowercase hex digits. Afterseen[v] = trueit prints uppercase hex digits, because the property lookup swaps the 16-bit substring for an 8-bit atom. Whether an equal 8-bit atom exists depends on file order, on the thread (each Worker has its own atom table) and on GC.String.prototype.toJSON = () => "x"; Bun.inspect(new String("😎"))prints"x", and a throwingtoJSONmakesBun.inspectthrow. An 8-bitnew String("a")never callstoJSON.URLSearchParams,FormDataandBun.CookieMapprint their names through the samewrite_property_key, so they had the same raw 16-bit keys.Other visible output changes:
\uD800in both printers. Before, both printed U+FFFD, so two different keys could print the same text.print_string, once inprint_json), so an array of 16-bit strings wrapped about twice as early as the same array of 8-bit strings. Both now wrap at the same place. Arrays of CJK or emoji strings therefore get longer lines than before.Bun.inspectof a 16-bit string now escapes U+2028, U+2029, U+FEFF and lone surrogates with uppercase hex ("\uD800", was"\ud800"fromJSON.stringify; the separators and the BOM printed raw before). 8-bit strings cannot contain these, so there was no 8-bit behavior to match.bun build/Bun.Transpiler:"👋"instead of"\uD83D\uDC4B"for targets other than bun. On bun 1.4.3import t from "./t.txt"with👋in the file already bundles to"👋"for--target=browser(the UTF-8 path), while the literal"👋"bundles to"\uD83D\uDC4B"(the UTF-16 path).string/SurrogatePairs_*asserts that the two paths agree. The change busts content hashes once for chunks that hold an astral character in a string literal. Withascii_only, the combined code point goes tosurrogate_pair_escape, which emits the same\uD83D\uDC4Bas before, so--target=bunoutput and the runtime transpiler output (and its cache) do not change. Source map columns already count a code point above U+FFFF as two UTF-16 units (update_generated_line_and_column_slow).%jstill usesJSON.stringifyon purpose and keeps its lowercase escapes.failedinstead of.expect("unreachable").Snapshot direction. Jest's
pretty-formatescapes only"and\in keys, and Jest 29 and Vitest snapshots print keys raw.bun:testhas JSON-escaped 8-bit keys sincetoMatchSnapshot()shipped (4792abd, 2023), and most keys are 8-bit. So 16-bit keys match Jest today only by accident. This PR keeps the 8-bit output and moves the less common 16-bit case to it. The other direction changes the stored snapshots of each user that has an 8-bit key with a backslash (for example a Windows path). Parity with Jest for keys is a separate question (#40656 is the open report for string values). With one escaper call for keys, a later change of direction is a change in one place.History: keys always went through
JSPrinter.formatJSONStringuntil fd4a210 (2022, a non-ASCII fix forconsole.log). That commit added the 16-bit branch as a raw write.pretty_formatis a fork of that formatter and kept the split. So the JSON escaper is the original behavior for a quoted key.Order against open PRs:
bun_core::printer::write_pre_quoted_string_innerwith the body of thejs_printercopy. This PR gives both copies the same two hunks (bun_core::string::printer::write_pre_quoted_stringhas no UTF-16 caller today, the hunks keep the copies in sync). If Deduplicate bundler dispatch and output glue, the JS string escaper, and the exports-map retry #31998 lands first, this PR keeps the two hunks on that one function and drops the comment there that says a pair prints as\uD800\uDF34. If this PR lands first, Deduplicate bundler dispatch and output glue, the JS string escaper, and the exports-map retry #31998 takes the hunks with the body it copies.Encoding::Utf8arm of the samematchinwrite_pre_quoted_string_inner. This PR changes theEncoding::Utf16arm. The second one to land rebases over a near hunk. Neither changes the other's output.print_as(Tag::JSON, ..)lines ofprint_stringthat this PR deletes. After this PR it passes its inner string towriter.write_json_string(str.to_encoded_slice()).json_stringifyfor a 16-bit string and with theJSPrinterfacade for an 8-bit one. After this PR it measures both withwrite_json_string_encodedand a counting writer.src/telemetry/db.rs) and install: only replace or remove a package's own bins in the global bin dir #39745 (a Windows-only shim reader) add callers ofindex_of_any16. There is no textual conflict. After this PR they callindex_of_any_t, which it wrapped.Stringobject arm ofpretty_format.rs. It is a different hunk of that file.Not in this PR:
pretty_format.rs. It prints them raw in both widths, so the width does not change the output.write_property_keyfor both printers. The two copies differ in more than the escaper.format_json_string_latin1still has callers that pass UTF-8 bytes (init_command.rs,jsc_hooks.rs). That is a different defect.Dead code that this PR removes:
write_16_bitin both printers, theJSPrinterfacade, andindex_of_any16(src/bun_core/string/immutable.rs). The console key printer was the last caller ofindex_of_any16outside Windows-only code, and themordantlint reports an unused public function. It was a one-line wrapper forindex_of_any_t. The two Windows callers insrc/runtime/cli/run_command.rsnow callindex_of_any_t.cargo check -p bun_runtime --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvcpasses, and a localcargo dylintrun reports nothing over the baseline.Self-reviewed before opening, and again after the consolidation. The first review asked for the bundler output change stated up front, the note on #31998, and stronger tests (representation guards with
toBeUTF16String(), a path-shaped key, a text and JSON import next to the string literal, adjacent lone surrogates,toJSON). It also asked to move the runtime-encoding adapter out ofConsoleObject.rsso thatpretty_format.rscan call it. That iswrite_json_string_encoded. The second review raised the points above (the repros first, the Jest difference, the carve-out, the order against open PRs, theindex_of_any16callers in flight, the facade, one table of positions ininspect.test.js).
