Problem

Fix

  • ASAN builds run a quarter of the registrations (N 4000 to 1000) with a 6 MB bound. On the lane the test takes about 3.2 s (build 122270).
  • With the leak put back the delta is 11 to 14 MB (26 runs). A clean build gives -1.5 to 2 MB (100 runs). Release builds do not change.
  • A new LeakSanitizer test counts the same allocations exactly on ASAN and debug builds. With the leak it reports 180224 byte(s) leaked in 4096 allocation(s).
  • Verified: bun bd test test/js/workerd/html-rewriter-leak.test.ts, a release ASAN build with the CI environment, a release build.

Background

  • on() and onDocument() each allocate one handler struct. Fix HTMLRewriter handler allocation leak in LOLHTMLContext.deinit #29879 fixed a leak of them, and this test guards it.
  • LeakSanitizer reports each allocation that nothing points to at exit. It cannot see reachable memory, so the RSS test stays.
  • test/leaksan.supp hides allocations made during module evaluation. So that child registers from setImmediate, like test/js/valkey/valkey-gc.test.ts.
  • Considered a longer ASAN limit: each run still costs 12 s.
Notes

The failure on the lane. Builds 121960 to 122095 (2026-09-30 20:11 to 2026-10-01 00:30 UTC), the asan shard that runs this file, by the free -m total of the agent (#38042 matched the totals to instance types):

free -m total type runs result
63270 r7i.2xlarge (requested) 109 107 pass, 1 passes on attempt 2, 1 on attempt 3
62932 r7a.2xlarge 1 pass
63286 r6i.2xlarge 2 4 of 4 attempts time out (builds 122041, 122042)
62948 not named 1 4 of 4 time out (122050)
63510 not named 1 4 of 4 time out (122044)
63680 not named 1 4 of 4 time out (122040)

Builds 120727 and 121375 are 4 of 4 timeouts on 63270 machines, so the requested type also fails.

On the 107 clean runs the dot of this test appears 12.59 to 15.33 s after the file starts (median 13.39 s, p90 14.87 s). In the failed runs the timeout message appears 15.73 to 15.93 s after the file starts, so the test starts about 0.8 s in. That gives 11.8 to 14.5 s for the test.

The cost did not change. test/expected-durations.json has 11.3 s for this file on the asan lane on 2026-07-07 and 2026-07-19, when the file had two tests and this one ran six passes. That is about 1.8 s for each pass of 256,000 registrations. Seven passes take 12.6 s now.

Why the lane is slow. The lane is a release build with ASAN and assertions. The runner also gives this file BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1, detect_leaks=1 and BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1, and the child inherits them. A release ASAN build of main (bun run build:asan, 2f1d7f6) in this container takes 1.0 s for each pass without those variables and 1.65 s with them. A release build takes 0.1 s. The cost is spread over the whole call (three or four property reads, the handler list, the selector parse, the box). No single part dominates.

Reproduction. Release ASAN build of main, environment of the lane. The RSS test of main took 12.4 s, 12.9 s and 14.6 s of its 15 s, and timed out once, with no extra load. Pinned to 4 CPUs that 4 busy loops share, it fails with this test timed out after 15000ms (2 of 2). Run in turns with main, this branch took 4.0 s and 3.2 s where main took over 15 s and 14.6 s.

The ASAN numbers. All on the release ASAN build with the environment of the lane, quarantine off as the test sets it.

N build runs delta
4000 (main) clean 16 -1.4 to 1.0 MB
4000 (main) with the leak 3 49, 51, 54 MB against the bound of 35
1000 (this PR) clean 100 -1.5 to 2.0 MB (median 0, p90 1.0, p99 1.6)
1000 (this PR) with the leak 26 11 to 14 MB (median 12) against the bound of 6

The scratch build for "with the leak" adds a Drop for LOLHTMLContext that calls mem::forget on each handler box. That is the leak #29879 fixed. The clean deltas come in steps of about 1 MB, and the count does not change them. So a smaller count moves the signal toward that floor. At 1000 the bound is 3 times the largest clean delta and about half the smallest leak delta.

Time for the child at N 1000 in this container: median 4.1 s in 100 direct runs (3.6 to 4.4 s for 90 of them), and 3.0 to 5.8 s in 40 runs through the test file. On the lane, build 122270 ran this change on a 63270 machine: the file took 6.60 s (14.8 to 18.0 s before), and the dot of the RSS test appears 3.90 s after the file starts. That is about 3.2 s for the test, so about 7 s on the slowest machine type seen (2.1 times slower).

With the leak and the environment of the lane, the RSS child can also run into the 15 s limit: LeakSanitizer symbolizes 448,000 stacks at exit before the suppressions hide them. The test fails either way. main behaves the same.

The LeakSanitizer test.

build result
release ASAN pass, 40 of 40 (and 100 of 100 with the first commit)
release ASAN with the leak fail: 180224 byte(s) leaked in 4096 allocation(s), exit code 134
debug pass (20 of 20 with the first commit)
debug with the leak fail: the same summary line, exit code 1

The report names HTMLRewriter::on_ and HTMLRewriter::on_document_. The same child at the top level of the module exits 0 with the leak: the JSC::JSModuleLoader::evaluateNonVirtual entry of leaksan.supp hides all of it. That is why the child uses setImmediate. The child prints the count of live HTMLRewriter cells after the last collection, and the test wants fewer than a quarter of the 64 it made (it sees 1 to 3).

It adds two things to the RSS test. It is exact, so a leak of a few bytes for each rewriter fails. And it runs on debug builds, where the RSS test is skipped, so bun bd test now covers this regression.

The 90 s limit of the LeakSanitizer test. A pass takes 0.2 to 1.7 s on the release ASAN build and 1.6 to 5.1 s on a debug build in this container. A failure takes 6.1 to 23.7 s because LeakSanitizer symbolizes the report. test/js/bun/shell/shell-worker-terminate-leak.test.ts uses the same limit for the same reason.

History of this PR. The first commit skipped the RSS test on ASAN builds and relied on LeakSanitizer there. Review pointed out that LeakSanitizer cannot see memory that something still points to. The second commit keeps the RSS test on ASAN at a quarter of the count. Build 122245 ran the first commit: the file took 3.38 s on the asan lane.

CI. In builds 122245 and 122270 the one red job is test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts on the asan lane (stdout reader of an unref'd child and process lifetime). This PR does not touch it, and it is red in build 122042 too. It is reported separately.

Found on the way, not in this PR. The RSS test on release builds: with the leak put back, a release build of main measures 33 to 37 MB (12 runs) against the bound of 35. #43210 made the handler structs smaller: 64 and 80 bytes before (from the field types), 40 and 48 bytes now (from the LeakSanitizer report). So the unfixed delta fell from about 55 MB to about 35 MB. This is reported separately.


no test proof · iteration 0 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/workerd/html-rewriter-leak.test.ts

…zer on ASAN builds

The RSS test for the handler structs makes 1.79 million on() and
onDocument() calls. On the ASAN lane that takes 11.8 to 14.5 s of the
15 s limit on the requested instance type, and a slower machine times
out on every attempt.

ASAN builds now run a LeakSanitizer test for the same regression: 4096
registrations from a macrotask, then an exit with detect_leaks=1. The
RSS test is unchanged on release builds and is skipped on ASAN builds.

Walkthrough

The HTMLRewriter leak tests use ASAN-specific RSS-test settings and add a LeakSanitizer test for ASAN builds on non-Windows platforms.

Changes

Status

Reproduced with a release ASAN build of main (bun run build:asan, 2f1d7f6) and the environment that the asan lane gives this file (BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1, detect_leaks=1, BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1):

  • HTMLRewriter does not leak element/document handler allocations takes 12.4 to 14.6 s of its 15 s limit, and it timed out once with no extra load.
  • Pinned to 4 CPUs that 4 busy loops share, it fails with this test timed out after 15000ms (2 of 2).
  • This branch takes 3.2 to 4.0 s in the same runs.

The diff is green. Build 122270 finished with 180 of 181 jobs passed, and this file passes on the asan lane in 6.60 s (14.8 to 18.0 s before). The one red job is test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts on the asan lane. This PR does not touch that test, and it is also red in builds 122042 and 122245. It is reported separately. A new CI run gives the same result until that test is fixed on main, so I did not start one.

PR: #44359

…r of the count

LeakSanitizer cannot see memory that something still points to at exit,
so the RSS delta stays on the ASAN lane. ASAN builds run 1000 rewriters
per pass in place of 4000, with a bound of 6 MB: the unfixed leak
measures 11 to 14 MB there and a clean build -1.5 to 2 MB, because the
quarantine is off.

The LeakSanitizer test no longer asserts on a counter that the child
script maintains by itself.

LGTM — the follow-up commit addresses both points from my earlier pass (the RSS test stays on the ASAN lane with a branched N and bound, and the self-maintained counter assertion is gone).

What was reviewed:

  • Traced the LeakSanitizer child's env knobs: BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT is read in src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs, test/leaksan.supp exists and carries the JSModuleLoader entries that motivate the setImmediate wrapper, and the ASAN_OPTIONS/LSAN_OPTIONS shape matches test/js/valkey/valkey-gc.test.ts and test/js/bun/shell/shell-worker-terminate-leak.test.ts.
  • Checked the ASAN RSS branch: N=1000 with quarantine off keeps the fixed delta (-1.5 to 2 MB per the comment) well under the 6 MB bound and the bound under the 11-14 MB unfixed signal; quarter workload puts the ASAN run around 3 s of the 15 s ceiling.
  • Confirmed withoutAsanWarning is a module-level const defined later in the file, which is safe since test bodies run after module evaluation; pipes are drained concurrently and stdout is asserted before exitCode.
Extended reasoning...

The PR touches only test/js/workerd/html-rewriter-leak.test.ts: it branches the existing RSS leak test's workload and bound on isASAN and adds a LeakSanitizer-gated sibling test for the same handler-struct leak, with no production code and no security-sensitive surface. The second commit (40ffc05) resolved both inline findings from the prior run — the ASAN lane keeps measuring RSS growth rather than dropping it, and the vacuous counter assertion was removed. The new test copies the established LSAN pattern used by several other tests in the suite, the env knobs it sets are consumed by src/, and the file has no CODEOWNER; the only outstanding third-party event is a non-blocking COMMENTED review. The hunt ran dry with no findings, so a human look is not needed beyond the usual merge flow.

…ng the streams of a collected rewrite (#43379)

### Problem
- `element.onEndTag(fn)` makes `fn` a GC root (`ProtectedJSValue` in
`EndTagHandler`, `src/runtime/api/html_rewriter.rs`). If `fn` reaches
the output `Response` and the rewrite stops early, 200 of 200 Responses
stay.
- Main also uses the streams of a collected rewrite, in four places.
`cancel_from_output()` and `abandon_suspension()` close a dead JS input
(`SEGV` in `JSReadStreamIntoSinkOperation::result()`, or `ASSERTION
FAILED: status() == Status::Pending`). `abandon_suspension()` writes to
a freed output (`heap-use-after-free` in `ByteStream::on_data`).
`Bun.ModuleGraph.dispose()` cancels a stream source that is dead, or
that is freed under the call (a segfault on a release build with no
options). The leak hid the first.

### Fix
- `onEndTag` callbacks live in a JS array in `endTagHandlers`, a new
visited slot of the transform cell. The lol-html handler keeps an index.
- `cancel_from_output()` cuts the output's edge to the transform cell
last, as `fail()` and `finish()` already do.
- The pipe's reference to its own cell is a `JsRef` instead of a bare
`JSValue`, so a dead, unswept cell reads as `None`.
- The two entries that nothing reachable makes, the
`abandon_suspension()` task and `NewSource`'s `on_abort` (`dispose()`),
hold the wrapper that they read for the call, and leave a collected one
to its finalizer.
- Verified: 23 new tests (`test/js/workerd/html-rewriter-leak.test.ts`,
`module-graph-gc.test.ts`). 11 fail on a debug build of main, 13 on
release ASAN. Other suites: Notes. Self-reviewed: 3 concerns raised, 3
addressed.

### Background
- `gcProtect` makes a value a GC root, so a cycle through it is never
garbage. A visited slot is an edge that the collector traces.
- The transform cell (`HTMLRewriterTransform`) keeps the input stream of
one `transform()` alive. The native pipe holds that stream as a raw
pointer.
- Considered the cell in the `PipePin` guard of every entry point (an
earlier version of this PR), and a `Strong` on the input (a root per
rewrite). Notes say why not.

### Downsides
- `Element` grows from 40 to 48 bytes, `RewriterPipe` from 272 to 304,
the release binary by 8,960 bytes.
- A handler without `onEndTag()` costs the same within noise (150 ns per
element, base-to-base difference up to 1.2 ns). With it, 41 to 48 ns
less.
- Two leaks without `onEndTag()` remain (Notes).

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Report.** There is no GitHub issue. #43210 measured the leak and left
it for a follow-up, and its review asked for it:
#43210 (comment). This
is the last `ProtectedJSValue` in `html_rewriter.rs`.

**Why a visited slot.** `REVIEW.md` ("Root or copy every JSValue held
beyond the current call") asks for WriteBarrier members declared in
`.classes.ts`, and keeps `protect` for a justified self-keepalive.
#43210 applied that to the `handlers` slot. The third shape below also
needs it: a rewrite whose input never ends reaches no terminal state, so
only collection of the transform cell can free it, and a root prevents
that collection.

**Repro of the leak.** `MODE` is `ok`, `throw` or `cancel`. The `</div>`
end tag never arrives.

```js
const { heapStats } = require("bun:jsc");
let fired = 0;
const fr = new FinalizationRegistry(() => fired++);
const N = 200;
const mode = process.env.MODE ?? "throw";
async function once() {
  const holder = {};
  const rw = new HTMLRewriter()
    .on("div", { element(el) { el.onEndTag(() => holder.res); } })
    .on("p", { element() { if (mode === "throw") throw new Error("boom"); } });
  let ctrl;
  const res = rw.transform(new Response(new ReadableStream({ start(c) { ctrl = c; } })));
  holder.res = res;
  fr.register(res, 0);
  const chunk = new TextEncoder().encode("<div><p>x</p>");
  if (mode === "cancel") {
    const reader = res.body.getReader();
    ctrl.enqueue(chunk);
    await reader.read();
    await reader.cancel();
  } else {
    ctrl.enqueue(chunk);
    ctrl.close();
    try { await res.text(); } catch {}
  }
}
for (let i = 0; i < N; i++) await once();
for (let i = 0; i < 6; i++) { Bun.gc(true); await Bun.sleep(20); }
console.log(mode, "retained", N - fired, "of", N, "protected Function", heapStats().protectedObjectTypeCounts.Function ?? 0);
```

**Measurements of the leak** (debug builds, retained Responses and
protected Functions of 200, graphs of 15):

| shape | main (367d939) | this PR |
| --- | --- | --- |
| rewrite completes | 0, 0 | 0, 0 |
| a later handler throws, the body is read | 200, 200 | 0, 0 |
| the output reader cancels | 200, 200 | 0, 0 |
| the input never ends, all dropped, nothing pending on the output |
200, 200 | 0, 0 |
| disposed `Bun.ModuleGraph` whose code left such a rewrite | 15 graphs
| 1 graph |
| the same graph code without `onEndTag()` (control) | 1 graph | 1 graph
|

Release builds of the merge base 37471e5 and of this PR give the same
result for `throw` and `cancel`: 200 of 200, and 0 of 200. On main the
heap snapshot of the new ModuleGraph test names the retainer:
`root(ProtectedValues) Function -> JSLexicalEnvironment ->
JSModuleEnvironment -> JSLexicalEnvironment -Variable:moduleGraph->
ModuleGraph`.

**The dead input, case 1: `cancel_from_output()`.** An earlier version
of this PR failed on the x64 ASAN lane: the new test "when the output
reader is cancelled" aborted with `ASSERTION FAILED: status() ==
Status::Pending`. The cause is on main. `cancel_from_output()` starts
with `detach_output()`, which clears the `owner` slot of the output
stream. If script holds only the reader, that slot was the last GC path
to the transform cell. The next step allocates the abort reason, so a
collection can finish there. `detach_input_source()` then closes the
sink controller of the JS input through `SourceHandle::JSController`, a
raw pointer to a cell that only the transform cell kept alive. On main
the protected `onEndTag` callback kept such a rewrite alive forever, so
the window was closed for exactly the rewrites that the leak tests make.

Main has the bug with no `onEndTag()` call. This script requests a
collection before each `reader.cancel()`:

```js
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const N = 200;
let cancelled = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < N; i++) {
  let controller;
  const input = new ReadableStream({ start: c => void (controller = c), cancel() { cancelled++; } });
  const reader = new HTMLRewriter().on("div", { element() {} }).transform(new Response(input)).body.getReader();
  controller.enqueue(encoder.encode("<div><p>x</p>"));
  controller = undefined;
  if ((await reader.read()).done) throw new Error("done early");
  Bun.gc(false);
  await reader.cancel();
}
Bun.gc(true);
console.log(JSON.stringify({ rewrites: N, cancelled }));
```

| release ASAN build | main | this PR |
| --- | --- | --- |
| plain run, 3 runs | `cancelled` is 195, 194, 200 of 200 | 200 of 200 |
| `BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1` | `SEGV on unknown address
0x000000000010` | 200 of 200 |

The stack of the SEGV: `JSC::ClassInfo::isSubClassOf` <
`JSReadStreamIntoSinkOperation::result()` <
`Bun::WebStreams::rsisFinish` <
`jsWebStreamsHandler_onReadStreamIntoSinkClose` <
`JSC::runInternalMicrotask`. The failure needs a collection that
finishes between `detach_output()` and the close of the input. It did
not occur on a debug build or on a release build without ASAN. The
regression test runs the script under `BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1` on
release builds (not on Windows, where that option is very slow), so it
fails on main only on the release ASAN lanes.

**The fix for case 1.** `detach_output()` moves to the end of
`cancel_from_output()`, next to `release_input_roots()`. The reader that
cancels then reaches the cell through the `owner` slot until the input
is closed. This is the order of `fail()` and `finish()`, and the rule
that the doc comment of `release_input_roots()` already states for the
input's edges. Alternatives:
- Keep the cell on the stack in the `PipePin` of `write`,
`end_from_stream`, `resume`, `cancel_from_output` and `fail` (an earlier
version of this PR). Each of those is entered by a peer whose own cell
has an internal edge to the transform cell (`owner`, `sinkOwner`, the
Response's `transform` slot, the context of a promise reaction). The
guard mattered where the pipe itself cut that edge too early (this
case), and where the first caller of the chain held nothing (cases 3 and
4). It does nothing for a cell that is already dead at the entry, so
that version still crashes in case 4. It also made `EnsureStillAlive` a
struct field. Everywhere else in the tree it is a local.
- A `Strong` on the controller in `SourceHandle::JSController`. That is
one more root per rewrite with a JS input, and a root is what made the
leak.

**The dead input, case 2: `abandon_suspension()`.** A review of this PR
found it. It is on main too. A handler returns a promise that never
settles, and script drops everything. The collector then frees the
promise, and the destructor of its native context queues
`abandon_suspension`. That task asked `cell.is_cell()` to learn if the
transform cell is alive. The pipe's `cell` field was a bare `JSValue`
that the cell's finalizer clears, and the finalizer runs at the sweep. A
cell that is dead but not swept yet still passes `is_cell()`, so the
task called `fail()`, and `fail()` closed the dead sink controller. That
field is a hand-written weak reference. `JsRef` is the one the rest of
the runtime uses for a native object's own wrapper (the stream sources
next to this pipe do), and since #39334 its `try_get()` gives `None` for
a dead, unswept cell, which is the answer of `JSC::Weak::get()`. The
field is now a `JsCell<JsRef>`, and every read of it goes through
`try_get()`. The task clears the input and output handles without a call
into them when that is `None`, as it already did for a swept cell.

```js
const N = 50;
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const tick = () => new Promise(resolve => setImmediate(resolve));
let cancelled = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < N; i++) {
  let controller;
  const input = new ReadableStream({ start: c => void (controller = c), cancel: () => void cancelled++ });
  new HTMLRewriter().on("p", { element: () => new Promise(() => {}) }).transform(new Response(input));
  controller.enqueue(encoder.encode("<p>x</p>"));
}
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) await tick();
for (let round = 0; round < 10; round++) {
  Bun.gc(false);
  const junk = [];
  for (let j = 0; j < 500; j++) junk.push({ j });
  await tick();
}
process.stdout.write(JSON.stringify({ rewrites: N, cancelled }));
```

Run it as a file. A release build of main exits with `panic(main
thread): Segmentation fault at address 0x0` in 10 of 10 runs. A debug
build of main stops at `ASSERTION FAILED: decontaminate()`. A release
ASAN build of main reports the same `SEGV` as case 1, with this stack:
`JSReadStreamIntoSinkOperation::result()` < `rsisFinish` < `pumpOnClose`
< `sinkControllerOnClose` < `SourceHandle::cancel` <
`RewriterPipe::fail` < `RewriterPipe::abandon_suspension`. This PR
prints `{"rewrites":50,"cancelled":0}` on all three builds. Bun 1.4.2
does not crash on this script. #37108 fixed the opposite direction, a
controller destructor that reached a freed pipe.

**The freed output, case 3: `abandon_suspension()` again.** It is on
main too. The handler's promise is collected while script still holds
the `Response`, so the task is queued for a reachable rewrite. Script
drops the `Response` before the task runs. The cell is then unreachable,
but no collection has found that out, so it reads as alive. `fail()`
allocates (the error, the abort of the input), and a collection in there
sweeps the cell and both streams. `fail()` then writes the error through
`output`, a raw pointer to the freed `ByteStream`. This entry is a task
that a destructor queued, so nothing on its stack reaches the cell. It
keeps the cell that it read in a local `EnsureStillAlive` until it
returns.

```js
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const tick = () => new Promise(resolve => setImmediate(resolve));
const responses = [], promises = [];
function start() {
  let controller;
  const input = new ReadableStream({ start: c => void (controller = c) });
  const response = new HTMLRewriter()
    .on("p", { element() { const p = new Promise(() => {}); promises.push(p); return p; } })
    .transform(new Response(input));
  response.body;
  responses.push(response);
  controller.enqueue(encoder.encode("<p>x</p>"));
}
for (let round = 0; round < 20; round++) {
  for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) start();
  await tick();
  promises.length = 0;
  Bun.gc(true);
  responses.length = 0;
  await tick();
}
```

With `BUN_JSC_slowPathAllocsBetweenGCs=25` (a full collection at every
25th slow-path allocation) a release ASAN build of main reports the
`heap-use-after-free` in 10 of 10 runs, and also for each of 7, 13, 20,
33, 50, 64, 80, 100 and 150. This PR exits with 0. A debug build and a
release build without ASAN of main do not report it.

**The dead or freed source, case 4: `Bun.ModuleGraph.dispose()`.** It is
on main too, and needs no `onEndTag()`. `dispose()` cancels the source
of every stream that the graph's script was given (`NewSource`'s
`on_abort`, #42590), from native code. The JS wrapper owns the source,
and nothing on that stack reaches a wrapper that script has dropped.
`AbortHandleOwner` has a `KeepAlive` type for what keeps the owner alive
while `on_abort` runs. `NewSource` declared none.
- A collection that finishes inside `cancel()` frees the source under
the call, together with the rewrite that feeds it.
- After a collection that finished before, the wrapper is dead and waits
for its sweep. `cancel()` then tells the rewrite, which closes its dead
input.

`NewSource` now keeps its wrapper (`this_jsvalue.try_get()`) alive for
the call. For a wrapper that is collected and not swept yet it does
nothing: the peers are collected too, and the finalizer releases the
source. A source whose wrapper is finalized while native refs remain (a
child's pipe that nobody reads) is cancelled as before.

```js
const TICKS = 0; // or 1
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const tick = () => new Promise(resolve => setImmediate(resolve));
const rewrite = input => new HTMLRewriter().on("div", { element() {} }).transform(input);
function start(chained) {
  for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
    const input = new ReadableStream({ start: c => void c.enqueue(encoder.encode("<div>x")), cancel() {} });
    const output = rewrite(new Response(input));
    (chained ? rewrite(output) : output).body;
  }
}
for (const chained of [false, true]) {
  for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
    const graph = new Bun.ModuleGraph();
    graph.run(() => start(chained));
    await tick();
    Bun.gc(false);
    for (let t = 0; t < TICKS; t++) await tick();
    graph.dispose();
  }
}
```

| this PR | 10 of 10 | passes | passes |

**Why `Element` has a back reference.** `on()` handlers find their list
through the pipe whose lol-html call is on the stack. `onEndTag()`
cannot: after an `await` in an async handler no lol-html call is on the
stack, and inside a handler of a nested, synchronous rewrite the pipe on
the stack is the inner one. Both cases work on main and have a test
here. `handler_callback` gives the pipe to the wrapper when it makes it.
`Element::invalidate()` clears it together with the lol-html pointer.
That happens when the handler returns, or when the pipe drops the
wrapper it parked, so the reference never outlives the pipe.

**Replacement.** A second `onEndTag()` on the same element replaces the
first callback, in one handler or across two `on()` handlers. That is
the behavior of main (`handlers.clear()` then push). lol-html gives
every matching handler the same `Element`, and a suspension moves the
user data with the parked copy. So the first call pushes the one
lol-html handler and records its slot as the element's user data, and a
later call only stores the new callback into that slot.

**A parked element that outlives its transform cell.** A handler returns
a promise, the element is parked, then the promise and the cell are
collected together. Until the queued `abandon_suspension` task runs,
script can still call `onEndTag()` on the parked element. The cell is
then swept, or dead and not swept yet. In both states `try_get()` is
`None`, and `hold_end_tag_callback` stores nothing. It also stores
nothing for a parked element whose rewrite was cancelled or failed. In
all of these the end tag can never come. The last test in the file
covers the collected case.

**Return value.** Unchanged: the element while it is attached, `null`
once it is detached.

**Sizes.** `size_of` in the release profile, merge base then this PR:
`Element` 40, 48 (one per element handler call, freed when the handler
returns). `RewriterPipe` 272, 304 (one per `transform()`, alignment 16).
`EndTagHandler` 24, 16. The transform cell gets one more `WriteBarrier`
(8 bytes). The first `onEndTag()` call on an element now boxes a 4-byte
index as the lol-html user data, and no longer adds an entry to the VM's
table of protected values. `size` of the linux-x64 release binaries:
text 80,681,674, then 80,690,634. Data and bss do not change.

**Speed.** Release builds of the merge base and of this PR, linux-x64,
pinned to one core. One process rewrites a document of 20,000 elements
with one element handler, and reports the best of 40 runs in nanoseconds
per element. 25 rounds run the processes in turn: base, PR, base again.
The table gives the minimum of the rounds, and the median in
parentheses. The third column is the same base binary, which shows the
noise.

| case | base | this PR | base again |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `<p>x</p>` x 20,000, handler only | 150.1 (154.9) | 150.9 (155.7) |
151.3 (157.7) |
| `<p>x</p>` x 20,000, handler calls `onEndTag()` | 298.3 (306.2) |
257.6 (266.8) | 298.0 (306.7) |
| `<div>` nested 50 deep x 400, handler only | 150.1 (154.2) | 150.5
(154.4) | 150.1 (154.5) |
| `<div>` nested 50 deep x 400, handler calls `onEndTag()` | 322.1
(331.4) | 274.6 (280.6) | 326.8 (332.7) |

`try_get()` is one call into C++ per handler call. The version of this
PR without it measured 151.0, 259.8, 151.9 and 273.8 in the same rounds.

**Not changed.** Each of these keeps a rewrite alive on main and on this
PR with no `onEndTag()` call at all (100 rewrites each):
- A failed rewrite keeps the handler's error in the output body as a
`Strong` until the body is read (`fail()`). If that error references the
output `Response` (for example `error.response = res`) and nothing reads
the body, 100 of 100 Responses stay. With the body read, 0 stay. An
error that does not reference the Response retains nothing.
- A `read()` that is pending on the output while the JS input stream can
never produce again keeps 100 of 100 Responses, through the protected
promise and buffer of the pending pull. A pending `.text()` leaves 100
protected Promises (`promise_value.protect()`,
`src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs:453`).
- A rewrite that fails or is cancelled keeps its lol-html rewriter (the
parser arena) until the transform cell is collected. Only `finish()`
frees it earlier. A parked wrapper can still point into it, so an
earlier free needs its own change.

**Tests.** 23 new tests. On a debug build of main 11 fail: the three
leak shapes, four of the five kept-Response shapes, the parked rewrite
that dies with its handler promise, the two `dispose()` tests of case 4,
and the ModuleGraph test. On a release ASAN build of main the cancel
test under continuous collection and the test of case 3 fail too. The
other tests guard the new storage and pass before the fix: the callback
stays alive until its end tag with nothing else referencing it (GC churn
in between, half of the outputs dropped), slot reuse under nesting, one
end tag that closes several elements, callbacks that run after a handler
cancelled the output earlier in the same chunk, replacement (one
handler, two handlers, across a suspension), `onEndTag()` after an
`await`, an outer element used in a nested rewrite, an indexed accessor
on `Array.prototype`, the parked element whose rewrite was collected,
and the kept-Response case of a rewrite that completes.

**Suites run on the debug (ASAN) build:**
`test/js/workerd/html-rewriter-leak.test.ts` (49 pass, 1 skipped in
debug), `test/js/bun/module-graph/module-graph-gc.test.ts` (33 pass),
`test/js/workerd/html-rewriter.test.js` (186 pass),
`test/js/workerd/html-rewriter-end-error.test.ts`,
`test/js/web/html/html-rewriter-doctype.test.ts`,
`test/regression/issue/htmlrewriter-additional-bugs.test.ts`,
`test/regression/issue/text-chunk-null-access.test.ts`,
`test/js/bun/http/serve-stream-body-error.test.ts`, and the HTMLRewriter
cases of `test/js/web/workers/worker-terminate-lifetime.test.ts` and
`test/js/bun/module-graph/module-graph-isolation.test.ts`. On the
release ASAN build: the leak file with the CI environment of the ASAN
lane (`BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1`,
`BUN_GARBAGE_COLLECTOR_LEVEL=1`) and `html-rewriter.test.js`, 3 runs.
Also run by hand, on the earlier version with the cell in `PipePin`: a
nested document with `Bun.gc(true)` in handlers and callbacks under
`BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1`, and `terminate()` of workers that hold
pending callbacks in each state.

**A test of this file that is slow on main.** "HTMLRewriter does not
leak element/document handler allocations" passes 15 s on a loaded
release ASAN build, on main and on this PR. #44359 and #44377 change
that test.

**Self-review.** The review of the first commit asked for the
ModuleGraph test, for the narrower wording of the measured shapes, and
for the "Not changed" list. All three are in.
