Problem

  • On Bun 1.4.2, sql.begin(tx => Promise.all(tasks)) rejects when one task fails, and rows of the other tasks stay. Their later statements reach the connection after ROLLBACK, and run in autocommit mode or inside the next caller's transaction.
  • The dispatcher queryFromTransactionHandler (src/js/bun/sql.ts:182 on main) hands every client statement to the connection and reads no state. Found by fuzzing, no user report.

Fix

  • Reservations, transactions and savepoints get a scope record. When the dispatcher hands over COMMIT, ROLLBACK or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, it sets a new ended bit. Later statements of that scope reject with ERR_*_INVALID_TRANSACTION_STATE. Earlier statements run as on main.
  • A savepoint callback gets its own client. A returned array is awaited ahead of RELEASE SAVEPOINT.
  • reserved.release() waits for a reserved.begin() transaction (sql: make reserved.release() wait for a transaction started on the reservation #43255). tx.close() behind COMMIT sends no ROLLBACK.
  • Verified: test/js/sql/sql-pool-transaction-isolation.test.ts (main fails 140 of 178), test/js/sql/sqlite-sql.test.ts. Notes list the rest.

Background

Downsides

  • A late statement now rejects, as an unhandled rejection if nothing awaits it. Behind COMMIT, begin() still resolves, and the late statements are not written.
  • sp !== tx in a savepoint callback. +11 heap cells per savepoint() (149.75 to 160.75).
  • Per statement: +8 dispatcher bytecode ops (42 to 50), +1 call, +0 cells. Binary: +4,096 B.
Notes

Decisions for a maintainer

  • The error of a statement on an ended transaction or savepoint. This PR uses the existing ERR_*_INVALID_TRANSACTION_STATE with the message cannot run a query after its transaction or savepoint ended. ERR_*_CONNECTION_CLOSED stays the error of a lost connection and of a released reservation. Reason: retry helpers treat a closed connection as a reason to run the whole operation again. On main the tagged template on an ended transaction gave ERR_*_CONNECTION_CLOSED. That changes too.
  • An unhandled rejection for a late statement that nothing awaits. By default that ends the process. On main such a statement ran outside its transaction and nothing was reported.
  • sp !== tx. A property that a program sets on tx is not on sp.

What a late statement does on main

  • It runs without the transaction around it: no SET LOCAL, no set_config(..., true), no rollback. With one free connection (max: 1, or a busy pool) it runs inside the transaction of the next caller, and commits or rolls back with that one.
  • PostgreSQL 17.11 and MariaDB 11.8, three awaited inserts per task, one task fails: sql.begin() rejects and rows 42 and 52 stay. With this PR no row stays. The same holds for tasks inside tx.savepoint().
  • A timeout wrapper (Promise.race) around the callback: the job goes on after ROLLBACK. On main its tx.unsafe() statements commit inside the next sql.begin() of the pool. With this PR they reject.
  • Main refuses a tagged template once the server answered the end of the transaction. It never refuses unsafe(). drizzle-orm 0.45.4 sends every statement through client.unsafe() (bun-sql/session.js).

How the scope works

  • TransactionState is { connectionState, parent, queries }. A reservation and a transaction have no parent. The parent of a savepoint is the scope whose client called savepoint().
  • queryFromTransactionHandler(scope, ends, ...) is the one function that hands a statement of a client to the connection. ends is the scope that the statement ends (COMMIT, ROLLBACK, XA END, PREPARE TRANSACTION, ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT), or null. The bit is set at the hand-over, not when the callback settles, so forEach(async ...) statements that go out ahead of COMMIT still run. The first version of this PR cleared acceptQueries when the callback settled. That refused those statements, and it sent a late ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT behind ROLLBACK.
  • RELEASE SAVEPOINT ends nothing. A released savepoint is a part of the scope around it, and its client keeps working like tx. Its record gets a merged bit, and a savepoint that its client opens belongs to the scope around it. So a program that opens each savepoint through the client of the one before it does not build a chain. Only ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT ends a savepoint client.
  • SAVEPOINT, RELEASE SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT are statements of the calling scope. A savepoint that settles after its transaction ended sends none of them. On main a late ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT behind a failed ROLLBACK reopened the transaction on a connection that was back in the pool.
  • The savepoint client is built member by member in the order of the transaction client, so both share one Structure. A test in sqlite-sql.test.ts compares the keys of the two clients. One function, fragmentOf, decides for all four clients if a call builds a fragment.
  • tx.close() while COMMIT or ROLLBACK is unanswered returns a promise that the runner resolves when the transaction is over.
  • TypeScript: the callback of savepoint() gets SavepointSQL & Pick<TransactionSQL, "savepoint">, so sp.savepoint() compiles. SavepointSQL does not change, so a plain SQL is still assignable to it.
  • Three edits ride along in sql.ts: reject moved from the state record to a bound argument of onTransactionDisconnected, onSavepointFinished is one module-level function (no closure per savepoint()), and the unused storedError field is gone.

Behaviour changes, in full

  • A lazy query, unsafe(), file(), notify(), commitDistributed() and rollbackDistributed() of a transaction or savepoint client reject with ERR_*_INVALID_TRANSACTION_STATE when they run behind the end of the scope. The tagged template on an ended transaction rejected before, with ERR_*_CONNECTION_CLOSED. It now gives the same error as the other calls.
  • Behind COMMIT: begin() resolves and commits the statements that the dispatcher got before COMMIT. Each later statement rejects and is not written. Example: items.forEach(async item => { ... }) with two awaited statements per item, in a callback that returns. On main the second statement of every item ran after COMMIT in autocommit mode, and nothing was reported. Now it rejects. The docs name this case.
  • A statement of a reserved client that was started and not yet handed to the connection when release() runs rejects with ERR_*_CONNECTION_CLOSED. So does a query that an await using block of a reservation returns without await.
  • reserved.release() closes the client at once. The pool gets the connection after every running reserved.begin() transaction ended. The .d.ts now types the return value as Promise<void>, which is what the function returns on main.
  • The wait of close({ timeout }) uses Promise.allSettled. It waits for all of the pending work (on main a query that failed ended the wait). It does not report a failed query as unhandled (on main it reported every failed query once more, and a failed query that nothing awaited was reported only there).
  • A savepoint that is still running when its transaction commits: the statements it sent commit, the later ones reject, and its promise rejects.
  • savepoint() is typed like begin(): an array of queries resolves to the results.

  • Dispatcher bytecode (BUN_JSC_dumpGeneratedBytecodes): 42 to 50 executed ops per transaction statement, 65 through one savepoint level. Static size 79 to 109 instructions. Each tagged template call on every client makes one more call (fragmentOf).

  • Call orders that stay inside the scope give the same wire log as main: a query that is never run, a second start, execute() with no await, an await that floats in the turn the callback settles, a kept savepoint client after RELEASE SAVEPOINT.

Self-review

  • Self-reviewed in two rounds: 29 concerns raised, 28 addressed.
  • Not done: one builder for the transaction client and the savepoint client. It moves about 150 lines of the transaction client. The key comparison test guards the copy.
  • Not added: a test that pins the wire order of two savepoints that are open at the same time. That order is the one Concurrent SQL savepoints result in "savepoint does not exist" #20910 reports.
  • Declined: track a query from the moment it starts and not from the moment it is made. Alone, that change makes close({ timeout }) skip a query that was started in the same tick. sql: track a query on a reserved or transaction handle from its start #44932 does it with the state that it needs.
  • Declined: refuse a second reserved.begin() while one runs. That is a new error, and a maintainer's decision.

Suites

  • sql-pool-transaction-isolation.test.ts: 178 pass on a debug and on a release build (1.2 s on release). With main's sql.ts, 140 of 178 fail on a release build.
  • sqlite-sql.test.ts: 257 pass. The 7 new tests fail with main's sql.ts.
  • The 3 new tests in sql.test.ts (PostgreSQL 17.11) and the 3 in sql-mysql.transactions.test.ts (MariaDB 11.8) pass, and fail with main's sql.ts.
  • 24 one-clause mutants of the new code: 23 fail at least one test. One is equivalent (Promise.race for Promise.all in release(), which checks the set again when it runs).
  • bun-types.test.ts 22 pass. postgres-listen-notify, sql-reserve-abort, sql-begin-commit-rolled-back, sql-close-pending-connection, sql-helpers-validation, sql-prepare-false, sql-mysql.helpers pass.
  • sql.test.ts against a local PostgreSQL 17: the same 19 failures with main's sql.ts and with this PR (logins and locale of the local server).
  • sql-mysql.transactions.test.ts against a local MariaDB: 2 tests fail on message text that MariaDB words differently, the same on main.
  • The two tests that run a child process and wait for an unhandled rejection now wait for the report before the child prints. The entry of this file in test/flaky-tests.txt named that race and is removed.

…ack settles

The handle kept the acceptQueries bit while COMMIT or ROLLBACK was in
flight. A statement sent in that window was written after COMMIT or
ROLLBACK on the same connection, so the server ran it outside the
transaction. Clear the bit as soon as the callback settles.

Walkthrough

SQL transaction, savepoint, and reservation scopes now track query lifetimes and reject late work. Transaction finalization waits for in-flight ending statements, and reservation release delays connection reuse while transactions remain active. Types, documentation, and regression tests cover these rules and savepoint callback query arrays.

Changes

SQL transaction and reservation scope handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track transaction and savepoint query scopes
src/js/bun/sql.ts
Transaction and savepoint queries are tracked by scope. Savepoint callbacks receive scoped SQL handles, and ended scopes reject later queries.
Coordinate transaction finalization and reservation release
src/js/bun/sql.ts
Transaction close waits for in-flight commit or rollback statements. Timed waits settle pending work, and reservation release defers returning a connection while reserved transactions remain active.
Validate lifecycle behavior across adapters
test/js/sql/sql-pool-transaction-isolation.test.ts, test/js/sql/sql.test.ts, test/js/sql/sql-mysql.transactions.test.ts, test/js/sql/sqlite-sql.test.ts, test/js/sql/wire-frames.ts, test/flaky-tests.txt
Mock-server and database tests cover late queries, savepoint rollback, transaction races, and reservation release. The PostgreSQL mock tests include a NoData frame builder. The isolation test is removed from the flaky-test list.
Update SQL API contracts and guidance
packages/bun-types/sql.d.ts, test/integration/bun-types/fixture/sql.ts, docs/runtime/sql.mdx
The declarations and documentation describe reservation release, transaction and savepoint lifetimes, and query-array callback results. Type fixtures cover the updated signatures and nested savepoint results.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d770a

The change prevents late statements from running after a transaction, savepoint, or reservation ends, and it adds broad test coverage. One edge case remains: a timed close() that overlaps an in-flight commit can send an extra rollback or leave the close pending. This case is narrow, and the change is mergeable with follow-up.

Reject .unsafe() and .file() after callback settlement.

transaction_sql.unsafe and transaction_sql.file call unsafeQueryFromTransaction without checking acceptQueries. A callback can retain tx, settle, then call tx.unsafe() while COMMIT or ROLLBACK is in flight. That statement can reach the server after finalization and run in autocommit mode.

Apply the same closed and acceptQueries check to these user-facing methods. Keep run_internal_transaction_sql as the path for finalization commands. Also add late-statement tests for .unsafe() and .file().

On the review finding about tx.unsafe() and tx.file() (src/js/bun/sql.ts:682 to :690): that gap is real, but it is not limited to the settle window. Those two methods never read the handle state, so they also run on a settled or dropped handle. Open PR #43249 fixes that for both the transaction handle and the reserved handle. It returns a lazy Query that rejects when it runs, so tx.unsafe(q).values() chains still work. A rejected promise here would break those chains and duplicate that PR. Once both PRs land, the acceptQueries clear in this PR makes unsafe() and file() reject in the window as well, through the guard from #43249. This PR keeps to the state change plus the tagged-template path, which already reads the state on main.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🔴 src/js/bun/sql.ts — Users who send a late insert with the helper form (txINSERT ... ${tx(row)}) after their begin() callback settled now get an unhandled rejection they cannot catch, on top of the expected rejection. The helper call tx(row) hits the guard at src/js/bun/sql.ts:665-669 in the new settle window and returns Promise.$reject; the outer template also rejects, so the inner promise has no handler. Fix: the helper form must never return a promise; return SQLHelper regardless of connectionState (as sql() does at src/js/bun/sql.ts:904-911) and let only the Query path reject, on both the transaction and reserved handles. [also at: src/js/bun/sql.ts:669 - pre-existing: a late chained statement such as tx....values() now fails with a TypeError instead of the documented ERR_*_CONNECTION_CLOSED rejection.]

    Extended reasoning...

    sql.ts:870 and :877 clear acceptQueries the moment the callback settles, so the guard at sql.ts:665-669 is now live for every late statement, which is exactly the population #43248 describes. A late insert is normally written as txINSERT INTO t ${tx(row)}. JS evaluates tx(row) first. It is a plain object, so on the base branch the guard is not hit and sql.ts:677 returns new SQLHelper. After the change the guard fires first and returns Promise.$reject(pool.connectionClosedError()). That promise is passed as a value into the template call. The template call then hits the same guard and returns a second rejected promise. The user awaits only the outer one in try/catch. The inner one is never observed, so Bun reports an unhandledrejection, which fails bun:test runs and sets exit code 1 in scripts. On base this shape only occurred after an explicit tx.close() cleared the bit at sql.ts:757, which is rare; the PR moves it to the common late-statement window. The dismissing finder read the base guard but not the argument-evaluation order. The new test uses txSELECT 'late' with no helper,…

    Verification: normal (widens a pre-existing defect in the untouched guard to exactly the population this PR targets) — triggered when a user issues a helper-form statement such as txINSERT INTO t ${tx(row)} on the transaction handle after the begin() callback settled but before COMMIT/ROLLBACK completes. Mechanism verified in /home/claude/bun/src/js/bun/sql.ts: - New lines 870 and 877 clear acceptQueries…

  • 🟡 src/js/bun/sql.ts — Users who stash the tx handle and call tx.close() after their callback returned now get a silent no-op, and any Query they created but had not yet awaited later runs on the connection after COMMIT, outside the transaction. On the base branch that close() cancelled every entry of state.queries at src/js/bun/sql.ts:790-792 before the lazy query could run. After the change acceptQueries is already clear at src/js/bun/sql.ts:870, so close() returns at src/js/bun/sql.ts:755 and cancels nothing. Fix: close() called after settle must still cancel pending state.queries (and unrun lazy Queries) even when acceptQueries is clear, or the settle path must cancel/reject them itself.

    Extended reasoning...

    Trigger: inside the callback the user creates q = txINSERT ... without awaiting it, returns, then from outside calls tx.close() and later awaits q (the #43248 repro keeps the handle outside the callback). Base: callback returns, needs_rollback=false, COMMIT written (:874); close() passes the guard at :751-754, clears acceptQueries, calls query.cancel() on q at :791, sends ROLLBACK; when q is awaited, Query.#runAsync (query.ts:133-138) sees cancelled and never runs, so the statement never reaches the server. New: :870 clears acceptQueries before COMMIT; close() returns Promise.$resolve at :755 without touching state.queries; q is awaited, Query.then runs the handler, queryFromTransactionHandler (:172-197) checks only query.cancelled, and handle.run writes the INSERT after COMMIT, or after pool.release at :896 onto a connection another caller now owns. The dismissing finders compared only the ROLLBACK round trip and not the cancel loop that the early return now skips. Rate: every user of the close()-after-settle pattern with a lazy query. Remedy: in close(), when closed is not set, still…

    Verification: nit — triggers only when user code holding the tx handle calls tx.close() in the window after the callback returned but before the COMMIT/ROLLBACK reply arrives, and a Query created inside the callback (added to state.queries at src/js/bun/sql.ts:216 but never awaited) is awaited afterwards. Mechanism verified. The PR clears acceptQueries at src/js/bun/sql.ts:870 (success) and :877 (catch)…

  • 🟡 src/js/bun/sql.ts — Users with a savepoint still running when the outer callback settles now get a stray ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT written after COMMIT on the same connection, plus an unhandled server error rejection, where before the change only the savepoint's own queries went out. The savepoint's queries are rejected by the new guard, so run_internal_savepoint enters its catch, and src/js/bun/sql.ts:822 checks only the closed bit, which finally sets only after the COMMIT round trip. Fix: the savepoint catch (and run_internal_transaction_sql at src/js/bun/sql.ts:656) must skip internal statements once acceptQueries is clear, not only once closed is set.

    Extended reasoning...

    Trigger: the outer callback starts tx.savepoint(async s => { await sA; await sB; }) and returns (or throws) without awaiting it; a fire-and-forget savepoint is a plausible user bug that base tolerated silently. Base: A and B run after COMMIT in autocommit, RELEASE SAVEPOINT errors server-side, one stray statement. New: :870 clears acceptQueries; sB hits :665-669 and rejects with the closed error; :812 throws into the catch at :821; :822 sees closed unset because finally (:890) has not run while COMMIT is in flight; :823 calls run_internal_transaction_sql, whose only guard at :656 is the closed bit, so ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT s0 is written behind COMMIT. Postgres answers ERROR 25P01 and the savepoint promise rejects with that server error instead of the closed error, unhandled because nobody awaited it. The connection is released at :896 with that exchange still pending. The dismissing finder framed this as an improvement because the stray statement fails server-side; but the PR's stated contract is that nothing reaches the server after settle, and the mysql path behaves the same…

    Verification: nit — triggers when a savepoint callback issues a statement after the outer callback has settled but before the COMMIT/ROLLBACK reply arrives (e.g. a fire-and-forget tx.savepoint(...) whose first statement runs after the SAVEPOINT round trip). Mechanism verified in /home/claude/bun/src/js/bun/sql.ts: line 870 (and 877) clears acceptQueries while closed is only set in the finally at line…

  • 🟣 src/js/bun/sql.ts — Users who call tx.close({ timeout }) while queries are in flight get their transaction COMMITTED instead of rolled back whenever those queries finish before the timer. At src/js/bun/sql.ts:783-787 the queries-finished branch clears the timer and resolves without sending ROLLBACK or setting the closed bit; the callback then returns and src/js/bun/sql.ts:874 sends COMMIT. Fix: both arms of the race must end the transaction the same way; after Promise.all settles, cancel remaining queries, send ROLLBACK and set closed, mirroring the timer arm at src/js/bun/sql.ts:771-781.

    Extended reasoning...

    This is the same function the PR edits, and the PR's premise is that close() 'already uses this order'; the finder confirmed the lines are untouched but did not follow the path to its end. Steps: inside the callback the user awaits nothing and issues q = txUPDATE ...; q.then registers and the statement is written. The user calls await tx.close({ timeout: 5 }). :757 clears acceptQueries. :766 sees transactionQueries.size > 0 and timeout > 0. :771 arms a timer; :783 races Promise.all(pending_queries). The UPDATE reply arrives first; :784 clears the timer and :785 resolves. No ROLLBACK is written and closed stays unset. close() returns; the user's callback returns normally. :868 sets needs_rollback=false; :870 clears acceptQueries again (already clear); :874 writes COMMIT. The UPDATE the user asked to discard is committed. On base the same code runs, so this is pre-existing, but it sits inside the function under review and the PR text describes close() as the reference ordering. Every caller of close({timeout}) with fast queries is affected. Remedy: in the Promise.all arm, run the same…

    Verification: pre-existing — the base branch's transaction_sql.close is byte-identical (checked via git show 367d939d:src/js/bun/sql.ts), and the PR's added line /home/claude/bun/src/js/bun/sql.ts:870 does not change this outcome; but the diff does edit the very COMMIT path (868-875) that this scenario ends on, so it is worth the author's attention. Trigger: inside the begin() callback, a query is in…

Comment thread src/js/bun/sql.ts Outdated
tx(row) and reserved(row) build a fragment for a later query. On a handle
that no longer accepts queries they returned a rejected promise that the
query it was meant for never awaits, so it surfaced as an unhandled
rejection. Build the fragment first and guard only the query path, like
sql(row) does.

Comment thread src/js/bun/sql.ts
… scope

Every statement of a transaction, savepoint or reserved handle is handed to
the connection by queryFromTransactionHandler. It now refuses a statement
whose scope, or a scope around it, is closed or ended. A scope ends when
the statement that ends it (COMMIT, ROLLBACK, RELEASE SAVEPOINT, ROLLBACK TO
SAVEPOINT) is handed to the connection.

A savepoint callback gets its own handle and scope. SAVEPOINT, RELEASE
SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT belong to the scope that called
savepoint(), and an array that the callback returns is awaited ahead of
RELEASE SAVEPOINT.

The two acceptQueries flips at the end of the begin() callback are gone:
they refused statements that still reach the connection ahead of COMMIT.
…e() wait for a reserved transaction

- RELEASE SAVEPOINT ends nothing. The savepoint becomes a part of the scope
  around it, and its client goes on as a client of that scope.
- A ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT that is not sent, because the scope around the
  savepoint ended first, leaves the error of the callback as the error of
  the savepoint.
- reserved.release() closes the client at once and gives the connection to
  the pool after a transaction of reserved.begin() ended.
- close({ timeout }) waits with Promise.allSettled. The error of a refused
  query goes to whoever awaits the query, and is not reported a second time.
- tx.close() behind COMMIT or ROLLBACK sends nothing and waits for the answer.
  The timer of tx.close({ timeout }) sends no ROLLBACK behind COMMIT.
- SavepointSQL stays a plain SQL client in the types.
- The mock servers can answer a statement with an error. New tests for a
  refused RELEASE SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, and for the rows that
  stay on a PostgreSQL and a MySQL server.

Status: the check is in the dispatcher, at the moment a statement is handed to the connection. The description has the details. Three decisions for a maintainer are at the top of its Notes: the error code of a refused statement, the unhandled rejection for a late statement that nothing awaits, and sp !== tx.

How to reproduce, on PostgreSQL 17.11, MariaDB 11.8 and SQLite:

  • sql.begin(tx => Promise.all(tasks)), three awaited inserts per task, one task fails behind its first insert. On main begin() rejects and rows 42 and 52 stay in the table. With this PR no row stays, and the later inserts reject with ERR_*_INVALID_TRANSACTION_STATE.
  • The same tasks inside tx.savepoint(). On main the rows stay behind ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT.
  • A Promise.race timeout around the callback, with max: 1. On main the later tx.unsafe() inserts of the job commit inside the next sql.begin().

The tests: a statement behind the end of its transaction in test/js/sql/sql.test.ts and test/js/sql/sql-mysql.transactions.test.ts (real servers), a statement behind the end of its scope in test/js/sql/sqlite-sql.test.ts, and test/js/sql/sql-pool-transaction-isolation.test.ts (mock servers that record the wire order).

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked three things and ruled them out: the new Promise.all/Promise.allSettled/Array.from calls in src/js/bun/sql.ts match the file's pre-existing use of the same statics (e.g. the Promise.all(result) awaits in the begin/savepoint runners), so they are not a new tamper-resistance regression; the savepoint() overloads in sql.d.ts widen an array return to an element-union array rather than the tuple begin() infers, which is a typing nit only; and rejecting late statements with the existing ERR_*_CONNECTION_CLOSED code is consistent with what the tagged template already threw on an ended handle.

Extended reasoning...

The change reworks transaction, savepoint and reserved-connection scope tracking in the bun:sql builtin plus matching types, docs and ~1,500 lines of tests, touching no auth or crypto surface. Findings were reported inline and the hunt stopped on a bug cap rather than running dry, so approval is not on the table; this note only records what else was examined and ruled out.

…ld a released savepoint into its parent

- A statement that runs after its transaction or savepoint ended rejects
  with ERR_*_INVALID_TRANSACTION_STATE. ERR_*_CONNECTION_CLOSED stays the
  error of a lost connection and of a released reservation.
- The callback of savepoint() gets a client that is typed with a
  savepoint() of its own.
- A released savepoint is marked merged. A savepoint that its client opens
  belongs to the scope around it, so the chain of scopes does not grow.
- One function finds a fragment for the pool, reserved, transaction and
  savepoint clients.
- reserved.release() adds no closure per reservation.
- The timer of tx.close({ timeout }) is as on main again.
- Tests: the real-server cases move to sql.test.ts and
  sql-mysql.transactions.test.ts. New cases for the wait of
  close({ timeout }), for release() around pool queries, two transactions,
  a dropped connection and a repeated release, and for a ROLLBACK TO
  SAVEPOINT that SQLite refuses. The child processes of the two
  unhandled-rejection tests wait for the report, so the file leaves
  flaky-tests.txt.

🟡 Minor · Guard timeout cleanup and wait for an in-flight ending statement. · sql.ts:928-938

src/js/bun/sql.ts:928-938
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Guard timeout cleanup and wait for an in-flight ending statement.

The timeout callback can dispatch ROLLBACK after COMMIT sets ended. If cleanup resumes after the runner sets closed, the rejection occurs before resolve().

Wait for finished when the scope ends during timeout cleanup. Recheck the state after the awaited before-rollback command. Do not mark the scope closed until an in-flight ending statement finishes.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: a user whose tx.close({ timeout }) timer fires after the runner already ended the transaction gets an unhandled rejection from Bun's own timer and a close() promise that never settles. The timer callback at src/js/bun/sql.ts:928-938 awaits run_internal_transaction_sql(ROLLBACK_COMMAND, state) with no try/catch; once the runner's finally at src/js/bun/sql.ts:1084 set closed, that call returns Promise.$reject(connectionClosedError()) at src/js/bun/sql.ts:813-816, so the async timer rejects and resolve() at :937 is skipped. Fix: the timer must settle close() on every path, e.g. skip the ROLLBACK and resolve() when state already has closed or ended, and catch a ROLLBACK failure so it resolves or rejects the close() promise instead of leaking.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

Trigger: inside sql.begin the user calls tx.close({ timeout: N }) without awaiting it while a savepoint or a cancelled lazy query of the transaction is still pending, then returns from the callback. Promise.allSettled at src/js/bun/sql.ts:941 does not resolve because that pending item never settles, so the timer at :928 is what will end the wait. Meanwhile the runner sends COMMIT (:1059) and its finally sets ReservedConnectionState.closed (:1084). When the timer fires, run_internal_transaction_sql(ROLLBACK_COMMAND, state) at :935 hits the closed check at :813-816 and returns Promise.$reject(pool.connectionClosedError()); the await throws inside the async setTimeout callback, which nothing handles, so Bun reports an unhandled rejection and resolve() at :937 never runs, leaving the close() promise pending forever. The base branch has the identical timer body, so this is pre-existing. No safeguard covers it: the clearTimeout at :942 only runs when all pending work settles, and the ended early-return at :910 only applies to a later close() call, not to the timer of the first one.

Verification: pre-existing. When the timer fires, the async callback at src/js/bun/sql.ts:928-938 does await run_internal_transaction_sql(ROLLBACK_COMMAND, state) with no try/catch, and run_internal_transaction_sql at :814-816 returns Promise.$reject(pool.connectionClosedError()) because closed is set. The async arrow's promise therefore rejects with nobody handling it, and resolve() at :937 is never reached, so the close() promise never settles.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: nit, pre-existing: users who call tx.savepoint("name", fn) in the order the types declare get an unnamed savepoint, so the name never reaches the server. In savepoint() at src/js/bun/sql.ts:1022-1024 the $isCallable(name) branch moves the callback out of name and sets name = "" without first taking the string from fn, so save_point_name at src/js/bun/sql.ts:1032 becomes s0 instead of s0_name. Fix: when name is the callback, assign the string in fn to name (after the same sanitising replace) before clearing it, so both argument orders produce s_; this also keeps the (fn, name) order that test/js/sql/sql-pool-transaction-isolation.test.ts:369 relies on.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

packages/bun-types/sql.d.ts:110-113 declares savepoint(name: string, fn) as the only named overload, and test/js/sql/tls-sql.test.ts:191 and test/js/sql/sql-mysql.transactions.test.ts:211 call sql.savepoint("watpoint", async sql => ...). With that order savepoint(owner, fn, name) at src/js/bun/sql.ts:1011 receives fn = "watpoint" and name = the callback. src/js/bun/sql.ts:1022-1024 sees $isCallable(name), sets savepoint_callback = name and name = "", discarding the string. src/js/bun/sql.ts:1032 then builds s${savepoints++} with no suffix, so the wire carries SAVEPOINT s0 / RELEASE SAVEPOINT s0 and server logs or errors never show the user's name. The base branch had the identical branch in transaction_sql.savepoint, so this is pre-existing; the PR moves the code into the shared savepoint() function and adds JSDoc for the named overload without correcting it. No existing test asserts the wire name for the (name, fn) order, which is why it passes.

Verification: Trigger: a caller uses the overload the types declare first, tx.savepoint("name", fn). At src/js/bun/sql.ts:1022 if ($isCallable(name)) { savepoint_callback = name ...; name = ""; } discards the string that sits in fn, so line 1032 builds s${savepoints++} with no _name suffix and the server sees s0. The base branch has byte-identical logic (base sql.ts:857-867), so this is pre-existing.
