…s in toEqual
toEqual, toStrictEqual and Bun.deepEquals skipped the tag comparison that
only the node:assert entry points ran. A Promise, WeakMap, WeakSet,
DataView, Response, URL, Math or AbortController has no own enumerable
properties, so each of them compared equal to {}. Run the tag comparison
in every mode, as jest's equals() does. The constructor and [[Prototype]]
identity rule stays limited to the node:assert strict mode.
Fixes #42539

On the review note about matcher-specific regressions: they are in this PR. The test "toEqual() - objects with different Object.prototype.toString tags" in test/js/bun/test/expect.test.js asserts a Promise, WeakSet, WeakMap, DataView, Response, URL, Math, AbortController and an object with a Symbol.toStringTag getter against {} through toEqual and toStrictEqual, in both argument orders. That test fails on the current release and passes with this change. The latest push, 4f8da05, only trims the code comment in Bun__deepEquals. |

src/jsc/bindings/bindings.cpp— Running the tag comparison in every mode makesexpect(moduleNamespace).toEqual({})fail (namespaces carry@@ toStringTag: "Module"), so the existing testtest/js/bun/resolve/import-empty.test.js:45—expect(await import("./empty-file", { with: { type } })).toEqual({})— will now fail in CI where it passed on the base branch.

Both toJSON() results carried an own Symbol.toStringTag so that console.log

I worked on this bug in parallel, from a hand-off made before #42539 was filed. I will not open a second PR. Here are two findings on this diff, and a branch with a narrower rule. 1. const server = Bun.serve({
port: 0,
routes: { "/u/:id": req => Response.json({ eq: Bun.deepEquals(req.params, { id: "1" }) }) },
});
console.log(await (await fetch(`http://localhost:${server.port}/u/1`)).json());

…in objects The tag comparison ran first, for every pair of objects. That made `req.params` and `fs.Stats` differ from an object literal, because bun puts a `Symbol.toStringTag` on those plain objects. It also called the `Symbol.toStringTag` getter of every typed array. `Bun__deepEquals` now compares the tags after `specialObjectsDequal`, and only when one of the two values is not a plain object, an array or a module namespace. A Proxy counts as its target. Two objects of one Structure skip the read. Two plain objects or arrays also skip the second `specialObjectsDequal` call, which has no case for them. `URLSearchParams.prototype.toJSON()` and `FormData.prototype.toJSON()` keep their own `Symbol.toStringTag`, and the console formatter is as on main again.
…s and the JSDoc The `deepEquals URLs` test reads every row of its table, and states that a plain copy of a URL's properties does not equal the URL. That pair was equal in `toEqual` and not equal in `toStrictEqual` (#4105). The new tests no longer pin the `Symbol.toStringTag` of `fs.Stats`, `fs.Dirent`, `req.params` and the `toJSON()` results. The elysia skips in `test/vendor.json` say how many tests of each file still pass. The `toEqual` JSDoc states the rule.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, two more candidates were checked and ruled out: a revoked Proxy reaching ownPropertiesAreWholeState (revocation clears only the handler, so target() is still non-null and the later property walk throws the TypeError the new test asserts), and expect(process.env).toEqual({ ...process.env }) (process.env is not a plain object so it enters the tag check, but both sides produce [object Object], so it still passes).
Extended reasoning...
The change narrows Bun__deepEquals in src/jsc/bindings/bindings.cpp so non-strict comparisons of objects with different Object.prototype.toString tags return false, with the reversed specialObjectsDequal call now skipped for plain second operands; it touches no security-sensitive surface. The hunt exited on max_bugs with confirmed findings posted inline, so this note only records the two additional candidates examined this run.
