There was a problem hiding this comment.
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 the resolved_main_path extraction in src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs against the old get_main body — the [eval]/[stdin] guards, O_PATH/RDONLY open, Windows/POSIX branches, atom caching into vm.main_resolved_path, and the raw-vm.main() fallback are all preserved, so Bun.main behavior is unchanged. Bun__VM__specifierIsEntryPoint follows the same String::from_js + eql_utf8 shape as the existing specifierIsEvalEntryPoint and is only called after the C++ side confirmed filename() is a string, so the FFI path cannot throw.
Extended reasoning...
Three confirmed findings are already posted inline (arm-before-exception-check ordering in the JSC::evaluate path, the require()-loaded entry point not being marked, and the node . shim path not matching vm.main()), so human review is already signaled. This note only records what else was examined: the get_main -> resolved_main_path refactor was diffed line-by-line and is behavior-preserving (same early-return conditions, same syscalls and flags, same cache write and same fallback to the unresolved vm.main()), and the new host export mirrors the existing specifier_is_eval_entry_point conversion pattern with a non-panicking Err => false instead of expect, with the C++ caller guarding filename().isString() first. Nothing here changes the inline findings or the need for a human look.

…ds after a preload Node runs a CommonJS entry point to its end and then the process.nextTick queue, before the promise jobs the entry point queued. Bun runs the entry point inside a module loader microtask, and a hook armed at startup runs the queue at the end of the first microtask in which the queue exists. The queue is made on the first access of process.nextTick, so a module that loads before the entry point spends the hook: a --preload that loads node:stream, or the node:worker_threads preload of every node:worker_threads worker. The entry point then saw its promise jobs run before its ticks. Arm the hook again after the body of a CommonJS entry point. createCommonJSModule marks the entry point: the module whose path is the main path of the VM, or the real path that Bun.main resolves it to (the main path is a symlink for a bin that the `node` shim starts). The run command uses the same test to report what a CommonJS entry point throws as an uncaughtException. The VM records that it tried to open the main path. A main that is not a file (a data: or blob: worker, a compiled executable) then costs one failed open for the VM, and not one for each CommonJS module or Bun.main read. Fixes #34115

…3826) ### Problem - A read of `process.nextTick` creates the tick queue, and `node:fs` (since #43728) and `node:stream` read it at load. Every checkpoint (`Zig::GlobalObject::drainMicrotasks`) then calls `JSNextTickQueue::drain`: +124 instructions per `setImmediate` callback. - After the first tick, the scheduled flag (field 0 of the queue cell) is never cleared. Every later checkpoint calls `processTicksAndRejections` in JS for an empty queue: +2796 instructions per callback (+598 with the JIT). - With no tick queue, `Process__dispatchOnBeforeExit` drains nothing, so microtasks queued by a `beforeExit` listener never run. Node runs them. ### Fix - The checkpoint runs the tick pass only when the flag is set, drains the microtasks once, then reads the flag again. `processTicksAndRejections` clears the flag when the queue is empty. Costs now: +5 and +8. - `beforeExit` ends with that same checkpoint. - `node:fs` keeps its capture. Without it (the first commit), a replaced `process.nextTick` held seven callbacks. - Verified: `process-nexttick.test.js`, `process.test.js` (two new tests fail on main), `fs.test.ts`, 108 node tests. ### Background - `Zig::GlobalObject::drainMicrotasks` is Bun's checkpoint, not JSC's microtask drain. After each event loop callback it runs the scheduled `process.nextTick` callbacks, then `vm.drainMicrotasks()`. - Considered: create the queue on the first `process.nextTick()` call. `node:stream` users would then get the first-tick order below. ### Downsides - A checkpoint with a tick pending pays one more flag read and field write: +84 instructions per callback with the JIT off (+0.9%), +4 with the JIT. - With no tick queue: one more load and branch per checkpoint (2 to 3 instructions, inside the noise). - Not fixed: with no tick queue yet, a first tick queued by a microtask runs before the queued microtasks (node: after). That needs #43366 first (Notes). <details><summary>Notes</summary> All numbers compare release builds, Linux x64: main `dc55830bb` and this PR (based on `6d504dd98`, four unrelated commits later). **Calls, exact** Breakpoint hit counts from gdb on the unstripped release binaries, over 10,000 `setImmediate` callbacks, each scheduled from the one before it. `GlobalObject::drainMicrotasks` runs 20,004 times in every row. | the script first does | `JSNextTickQueue::drain` on main | this PR | |---|---|---| | nothing | 0 | 0 | | `import "node:fs"` | 20,004 | 1 | | `import "node:stream"` | 20,004 | 1 | | one read of `process.nextTick` | 20,003 | 1 | | one `process.nextTick(() => {})` call | 20,003 | 1 | A `node:http` server with a keep-alive client in the same process, 300 requests one after the other: 1,509 checkpoints on both builds. `JSNextTickQueue::drain` runs in 1,509 of them on main and in 603 with this PR. Those 603 have a tick scheduled. **Instructions per callback** `perf_event_open` returns `EPERM` on this machine, so the counts come from `qemu-x86_64 -one-insn-per-tb -d exec,nochain`, which logs each guest instruction with its thread. I count the main thread only. `BUN_JSC_useGC=0` keeps collections out of the count. Each value is the slope between two N, so startup cancels, and it is the median of 3 runs. The table gives the difference against a script that never touches `process.nextTick`, on the same build. JIT off (`BUN_JSC_useJIT=0`), N = 4,000 and 14,000: | shape | the script first does | main | this PR | |---|---|---|---| | 14,000 `setImmediate` up front (one checkpoint per callback, 1809 instructions with no tick queue) | `import "node:fs"` | +123.8 | +5.2 | | | `import "node:stream"` | +122.5 | +9.5 | | | one `process.nextTick()` call | +2796.4 | +8.3 | | 14,000 `setTimeout(fn, 0)` up front (2401) | `import "node:fs"` | +134.3 | +5.6 | | | one `process.nextTick()` call | +2804.7 | +8.4 | | chained `setImmediate` (two checkpoints per callback, 3214, runs spread by about 100) | `import "node:fs"` | +308.3 | -6.9 | | | one `process.nextTick()` call | +5908.2 | +24.3 | Default JIT, N = 20,000 and 60,000, `setImmediate` up front (1433 instructions with no tick queue): | the script first does | main | this PR | |---|---|---| | `import "node:fs"` | +122.6 | +10.4 | | one `process.nextTick()` call | +598.4 | +1.6 | Every callback schedules a tick (`setImmediate(() => process.nextTick(noop))`), JIT off. With 14,000 of them up front, every checkpoint has a tick pending: 9756.9 instructions per callback on main, 9840.5 with this PR (+83.6, +0.9%). With the default JIT and N = 20,000 and 60,000: 2432.1 and 2436.2 (+4.1, +0.2%). With chained `setImmediate` the second checkpoint of each callback is idle, and the same callback costs 15,063 on main and 11,983 with this PR. The binary size does not change: the stripped `bun` is 80,823,840 bytes on both builds. **What a script can see** After one tick, main runs every promise reaction inside the JS tick pass, so `processTicksAndRejections` is on its stack: ```js process.nextTick(() => setImmediate(() => Promise.resolve().then(() => console.log(new Error().stack)))); ``` - main: `at <anonymous> (file:1:86)`, then `at processTicksAndRejections (native:7:39)` - this PR and node v26.3.0: the first frame only **`beforeExit`** ```js process.on("beforeExit", async () => { await null; console.log("microtask"); process.nextTick(() => console.log("tick")); }); process.on("exit", () => console.log("exit")); ``` Node v26.3.0 and this PR print `microtask`, `tick`, `exit`. Main and bun 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9 print `exit`. With one read of `process.nextTick` at the top, main prints all three, because the tick queue then exists. **The first commit and the review** The first commit removed the capture from `fs.ts` and read `process.nextTick` at the call sites. The review found three things, and I confirmed each on node, the last release, main and that commit: 1. A `process.nextTick` that user code replaces held the callbacks of `cp`, `rm`, recursive `rmdir`, `opendir`, `Dir.read`, `Dir.close` and `glob`. Node holds `cp` and a buffered `Dir.read`. The capture is back, and a new test in `fs.test.ts` covers the eight callbacks. 2. The `beforeExit` bug above. #43728 hid it for programs that load `node:fs`, because its capture created the tick queue. 3. The first-tick order in Downsides. Deleting the startup hook (`onEachMicrotaskTick`) fixes it, but the hook is also what runs the ticks of a CommonJS entry point before its promise jobs: without it a `.cjs` file that does `process.nextTick(t); Promise.resolve().then(m)` prints `microtask tick`, and the existing test "a tick that throws goes to uncaughtException..." fails. #43366 arms that drain from the evaluation of the entry point. After it, the hook can go. **Verification** - `process-nexttick.test.js`: `a promise reaction does not run inside processTicksAndRejections` fails on main (`reaction: true`) and when the flag reset is deleted. The idle-path case with a tick that a microtask schedules fails when the second read of the flag is deleted (`microtask microtask 2 next immediate`). 11 pass with this PR. - `process.test.js`: the new `beforeExit` test fails on main (prints `exit` only). Whole file with the ASAN debug build: 173 pass, 1 fail. The failure is `process`, which needs `process.env.USER`, and this container has none. - `fs.test.ts`, the `process.nextTick` tests: 46 pass. - Node's `test/parallel` files for next-tick, microtask, promise, async-hooks, `AsyncLocalStorage`, timers, `beforeExit`, exit, stream destroy, vm microtask and worker exit: 108 files pass. - `test/js/node/{async_hooks,timers,vm,events}` and `test/js/web/timers`, ASAN debug build: 680 pass, 7 fail. All 7 are memory or time limits of the debug build: five RSS leak checks whose threshold is not widened for a debug binary that is not named `bun-asan`, and two 5 s timeouts. The three `setTimeout` leak fixtures give 0 to 3 MB on both release builds (limit 10 MB). - `BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1` on the `beforeExit` and idle-path scripts: clean. </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **no test proof** · iteration 1 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/node/process/process.test.js, test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts <!-- robobun:evidence:end --> Co-authored-by: Alistair Smith <hi@alistair.sh>

robobun/238ba147/esm-entry-nexttick-node-orderis a prototype of that change on an older draft of this PR, for a maintainer to decide. It still has the classifier from the next item..jsentry point with noimport, noexportand norequire()is CommonJS in Node, but Bun compiles it to an ES module. After a preload it still prints microtasks first. A first draft classified such files from their module record. It also caught files with onlyexport {}orimport.meta, which Node runs as ES modules, so it is gone.bun --import ./x.mjs entry.cjs: Node loads a CommonJS entry point through the ES module loader when--importis present, and prints microtasks first. Bun treats--importas--preload, and the entry point keeps the CommonJS order. There is a test row for this.require(), when an earlier preload already usedprocess.nextTick(two preloads, or a hook that callsModule._loadon the main file).require()makes that module, and to mark it there costs a compare with the main path for every module thatrequire()makes. With one preload that does both, the order is already right.node .,node ./diror an entry point with no extension under thenodeshim. The shim boots the joined path and nothing resolves it, sovm.main()is not the file. Onmainthat also leavesrequire.mainundefined there.

Thebun testand--hotrows fail if a rebase drops the re-arm.Earlier attempts: #34121 first kept the hook armed forever, which also moved every tick queued from a microtask ahead of the microtasks after it.
