fix(worker_threads): close ports when worker startup fails

[steipete]

What does this PR do?

Closes transferred MessagePort endpoints when a worker exits before its entry module resolves.

A Node worker receives its public parentPort, stdio ports, and control port through WorkerOptions::dataMessagePorts. If entry resolution failed before the worker bootstrap deserialized that data, those transferred endpoints remained in the proxy's retained options. The public port therefore stayed open, along with any user MessagePorts already queued on it, and the entangled peer never emitted close.

The proxy now drops both never-entangled workerData ports and messages still queued for the worker when shutdown begins. Normal worker destruction already runs after the worker global is gone; parent-context teardown joins the worker before reclaiming the same options so it cannot race the worker's startup move.

This PR was prepared with AI assistance. I reproduced the failure, inspected the ownership path, implemented the fix, and ran the validation below.

How did you verify your code works?

• USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 bun test test/js/node/worker_threads/worker_threads.test.ts -t "transferred MessagePort closes when the worker entry does not resolve" fails both the direct workerData and queued postMessage routes by timing out on Bun 1.4.2.
• Both focused regressions pass on the patched debug build.
• The complete worker_threads.test.ts file passes on the patched debug build: 144 tests, 400 assertions.
• Prettier and Clang 23 formatting checks pass for the changed files.

The local Clang 23 build of current main also required two unrelated, uncommitted host-compiler adjustments (<vector> visibility in napi.h and an explicit discarded std::exchange result in AbortSignal.cpp). Neither adjustment is part of this PR.

Walkthrough

WorkerMessagingProxy now clears undelivered worker messages and transferred ports during shutdown. The test covers port closure after a worker fails to resolve its entry file.

Changes

Worker message cleanup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Undelivered message cleanup src/jsc/bindings/webcore/WorkerMessagingProxy.h, src/jsc/bindings/webcore/WorkerMessagingProxy.cpp	Adds dropUndeliveredWorkerMessages(). The function clears queued messages and worker data ports, resets drain scheduling, and destroys dropped messages outside the inbox lock.
Shutdown integration and validation src/jsc/bindings/webcore/WorkerMessagingProxy.cpp, test/js/node/worker_threads/worker_threads.test.ts	Worker shutdown and parent-context destruction invoke the cleanup. A missing-entry-file test verifies the transferred port closes after the online, module error, and exit events.

The shutdown path closes undelivered transferred ports without an identified lifecycle or concurrency regression.

- Around line 2224-2248: Add a missing-entry worker startup test using Worker
options with workerData containing port2 and transferList containing port2,
rather than sending the port via postMessage. Await port1’s close event and
assert the existing online, MODULE_NOT_FOUND error, exit, and port-close
sequence so cleanup of WorkerOptions::dataMessagePorts is covered.

The GitHub Source lints failure is unrelated to this diff: current main's VM-thread-door inventory expects one thread spawn in src/jsc/GarbageCollectionController.rs, while the file now has none. The same focused source-lint command reproduces locally with this PR's three changed files untouched. Buildkite remains pending.

[steipete]

Buildkite build 117539 is blocked at its Waiting for input gate before the Linux build-image step; all GitHub-hosted lint, format, and source-lint checks pass on the rebased head. Could a Bun maintainer approve the Buildkite input?

@robobun adopt

[robobun]

Reproduced on bun 1.4.3: the peer port never emits close while the Worker is referenced. Node closes it.
The fix continues in #43374.

[robobun]

Closing in favor of #43374, as a maintainer asked. That PR carries these two commits with @steipete as their author. It adds tests for the Web Worker inbox and for terminate() before startup. Thank you for the fix.
