Terrible PR. Find a way to do this without paying a performance hit.

Understood. I will remove the validation pass. The lexer already decodes every non-ASCII sequence it steps over, so an ill-formed sequence can be detected in that existing (cold) branch. The plan: a valid file takes the same path as today with no added work, and only a file that fails that decode is converted and parsed again. I am marking this as a draft until that version is pushed with numbers. |

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it adds a step to the source-ingestion hot path for every JS/TS file and intentionally changes user-visible semantics (Latin-1 bytes that previously round-tripped now become U+FFFD or syntax errors), a human sign-off on the behavior change is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
replace_invalid_utf8: SIMDis_valid_utf8fast path returns the input slice unchanged; slow path uses stdlibutf8_chunks()(WHATWG maximal-subpart rule), pre-sizes then fills, andinto_bump_slice()leaksu8into the arena so noDropis skipped.ParseTask.rs:bumpisbun_alloc::Arena = MimallocArena, the same worker arena the AST/source live in, so the copy's lifetime matches.transpiler.rs: the newdetach_lifetime_refmirrors the one directly above it; the copy lands inthis_parse.arena, which is threaded intoParseResultalongsidesource_backing, so it outlives all reads.RETURN_FILE_ONLYand\0asmguards keep binary reads byte-exact.- Tests follow harness conventions (
tempDir,bunExe/bunEnv,Promise.alldrain, combined{stdout, stderr, exitCode}assert,itBundled/devTest) and cover run,--no-bundle, bundler target×minify withsourcesContent, and the dev-server error path.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR adds strings::replace_invalid_utf8 in src/bun_core/string/immutable.rs and wires it into the two JS/TS source-ingestion points: the bundler parse worker (src/bundler/ParseTask.rs) and the runtime transpiler (src/bundler/transpiler.rs). Valid UTF-8 (checked with the existing SIMD is_valid_utf8) is returned as-is; otherwise an arena copy replaces each ill-formed sequence with U+FFFD via core::str::Utf8Chunks, matching Node.js/WHATWG decoding. Tests are added to three existing files covering bun run, bun build --no-bundle, the bundler across node/bun/browser × minify with external sourcemaps, and the dev server HMR error surface.
Security risks
None identified. This is text decoding of source files before parsing; it does not touch auth, crypto, permissions, or network. The slow path only allocates when input is already ill-formed, sizing is computed from the same iterator that fills the buffer (verified by debug_assert_eq!), and the arena allocation is u8 so no Drop is bypassed by into_bump_slice().
Level of scrutiny
Moderate-to-high. The Rust change is small (~25 lines) and the fast path is trivially a no-op for valid UTF-8, but it sits on the ingestion path for every JS/TS file Bun reads, adds one SIMD validation pass per file, and includes an unsafe lifetime detach (which follows the existing pattern immediately above it and lands in the same arena that owns the Source). More importantly it is an intentional user-visible behavior change: bytes like \xA9/\xFB that the lexer previously read as Latin-1 (letting v\xFB0 parse as an identifier and "\xA9" print as ©) now become U+FFFD, matching Node but breaking any file that relied on the old accident. That semantic shift warrants a maintainer sign-off even though the implementation looks correct.
Other factors
I confirmed Bump in ParseTask.rs aliases bun_alloc::Arena = MimallocArena, so the helper's &MimallocArena parameter type-matches. is_javascript_like() covers exactly Js|Jsx|Ts|Tsx, so binary/data loaders are untouched. The !RETURN_FILE_ONLY and !starts_with(b"\0asm") guards preserve raw bytes for callers that need them. Test coverage is broad and follows repo conventions (tempDir, concurrent Promise.all drain, combined-object assertion, itBundled matrix, devTest), and no CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed paths. The PR conversation has no prior reviews or objections.

Row 1 is inside the run-to-run spread (about 1.5%; the best single run was 174.2 base vs 172.3 this PR in one session and 172.2 vs 174.7 in another). Both binaries produce byte-identical output for rows 1 and 2. Row 3 is the only input that pays (one decode copy and a second parse), and only because the file is not UTF-8. The first version of this PR, with the simdutf pass, measured 179.7 ms on row 1. I cannot read hardware counters in this container, so these are wall-clock numbers. The method is in the PR body if you want to rerun it. The result is the same as before: the 24-shape grid has no invalid output, |

A source file that is not valid UTF-8 reached the lexer, the printer and the source map as raw bytes. The hashbang line, legal comments, regex bodies, tagged template raw strings and identifiers are copied from the source text, so bun build wrote those bytes into the output. The lexer also read a byte that cannot start a sequence as Latin-1, which Node.js does not. No pass is added over the file. The lexer's out-of-line multibyte step already sees every non-ASCII sequence (each bulk skip stops at a non-ASCII byte), so it records a sequence that is not UTF-8. With features.stop_on_ill_formed_utf8 the parser stops before the visit pass and returns Result::NotUtf8 with its options. Only then does cache::JavaScript::parse decode the text (U+FFFD per ill-formed sequence), replace the caller's Source and parse again. The runtime transpiler cache is keyed on the decoded text in that case. The multibyte step decodes a well-formed sequence from one four-byte load and no longer calls memcpy: 78/93/104 instructions per 2/3/4-byte code point become 31/41/44. It is a Lexer method, so its call sites keep four argument registers and Lexer::next compiles as before.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the new u32 fast path in lexer_step::next_codepoint_multibyte against the old decoder: the 2/3/4-byte masks, overlong and surrogate rejection, and the U+10000..=U+10FFFF range check are correct, and *current advances by the same amount as before on every fallback path (raw byte +1, truncated-at-EOF sentinel, failed decode +1). The two new unreachable!("... NotUtf8") arms in ParseTask.rs and transpiler.rs are only behind cache::JavaScript::parse, whose second pass runs with the flag off, so they cannot be reached from user input.
Extended reasoning...
Two confirmed findings are posted inline (runtime transpiler cache version not bumped; scanImports still uses the raw Latin-1 reading), and Jarred-Sumner's CHANGES_REQUESTED review is still outstanding, so approval is out. This note records the additional decoder arithmetic and unreachable! reachability checks that were traced and found sound in this push.

Fix: give the scan path the same decoded text asparse, e.g. runstrings::replace_invalid_utf8(source.contents(), bump)beforeParser::initinscan(a single simdutf validation for valid input), so every JS entry point reads one text.Why this was flagged

An entry an older bun wrote for a file that is not UTF-8 is keyed on the raw bytes, and the first parse asks the cache before the lexer reaches the ill-formed bytes. It would hit and keep running the Latin-1 reading.
