A module that exports a JS value (a plugin's loader "object", a mock.module() result, a JSON, TOML or YAML file, a text file) had a generator that captured the value as a raw pointer. The value was protected when the generator was made and unprotected inside the generator's first run. The loader runs a generator each time it makes a module from the source, which is never, once, or more than once: - A second run read a freed value: a crash, or a namespace with the properties of another object. - A source that never became a module, or whose generator threw, kept the value protected forever, and the value kept its realm alive. The value is now the payload of the JSSourceCode (JSSourceCode::createWithPayload, oven-sh/WebKit#758). The cell traces it and the loader passes it to a generator that captures nothing. WEBKIT_VERSION is the preview build of oven-sh/WebKit#758.

Pin the merged WebKit build before merging this PR.
WEBKIT_VERSION points to the preview build for oven-sh/WebKit#758, which is still open as of October 2, 2026. Update this value to the merged autobuild-<full-sha> tag before merging this PR. (github.com)
Based on learnings, keep this dependent PR blocked until the upstream change lands; the PR objective also requires the merged-build pin before merge.

Correct, and it is planned. WEBKIT_VERSION points at the preview build so that CI can build and test this change before oven-sh/WebKit#758 merges. When that pull request lands, the pin moves to its merged autobuild-<sha> tag. This pull request must not merge before then, and the Notes section of the description says so. I leave this thread open until the pin moves.

@robobun Thanks for clarifying. The preview pin is intentional for CI testing, and the PR description already documents the merge requirement. This matches the existing guidance for temporary preview pins. Keeping this thread open until the pin moves to the merged build is appropriate.

Learning: For oven-sh/bun startup snapshot dependency updates, scripts/build/deps/mimalloc.ts and scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts may temporarily pin preview artifacts while the corresponding upstream pull requests remain unmerged. Keep the related pull request blocked from merging until those upstream changes land; then update both dependency pins and the matching process.versions assertion to immutable merged commit SHAs.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the removal of the ensureStillAliveHere calls at the five ModuleLoader.cpp call sites: the value is written into the JSSourceCode cell inside createWithPayload while it is still a live argument, so no window opens between protect and store. The primitive-default-export path (JSON/TOML/YAML scalars and arrays) only reaches generateJSValueExportDefaultObjectSourceCode, which appends the payload directly and never calls getObject(), so the null-deref concern is confined to the object/mock generator flagged inline.
Extended reasoning...
The change rewrites the synthetic-module source generators in src/jsc/modules/ObjectModule.cpp from capturing lambdas with gcProtect/gcUnprotect into static functions whose payload is owned by a new JSC::JSSourceCode::createWithPayload API, collapses five ModuleLoader.cpp call sites, and bumps WEBKIT_VERSION to a preview PR tag; it touches no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface. Not approving because inline findings remain (the preview WebKit pin and the unchecked getObject() on a non-object mock payload) and because the correctness of the GC rooting now lives entirely in an unmerged oven-sh/WebKit change that is not visible in this tree.

🔴 Every contributor and CI build breaks with a 404 on the WebKit download once oven-sh/WebKit#758 merges or closes, because WEBKIT_VERSION at scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:6 pins the preview tag "autobuild-preview-pr-758-47ef27fd". GitHub deletes preview releases at that point, as scripts/build/download.ts:320 documents. The PR notes say the pin must move before merge; the code as submitted still carries the preview tag, and nothing enforces that. Fix: before merging, land oven-sh/WebKit#758 and set WEBKIT_VERSION to the merged main commit sha or its autobuild- tag, since src/jsc/modules/ObjectModule.cpp:79 needs createWithPayload from that build.
Why this was flagged
Any bun bd or CI build with cfg.webkit === "prebuilt" computes the tarball URL from cfg.webkitVersion at scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:73-74, which yields https://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/releases/download/autobuild-preview-pr-758-47ef27fd/... after this change. scripts/build/download.ts:319-322 states that GitHub deletes an autobuild-preview-pr-* release when the WebKit PR merges or closes, and download.ts:328-337 raises "WebKit preview release is gone" for it. On the base branch WEBKIT_VERSION is the permanent sha fb1167ebf2cb9edc1f6771a2c11771b024693ae0, so builds always find their tarball. After merging, as soon as oven-sh/WebKit#758 is merged or closed, every fresh build fails before compiling. The test/internal/source-lints/webkit-prebuilt-url.test.ts:126 lint accepts any autobuild-* tag, so it does not catch this. The C++ in src/jsc/modules/ObjectModule.cpp:79,85,92 calls JSC::JSSourceCode::createWithPayload, which exists in no header in this tree, so the pin cannot simply be reverted either.
Verification: scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:6 now reads export const WEBKIT_VERSION = "autobuild-preview-pr-758-47ef27fd"; (base was the sha fb1167ebf2cb9edc1f6771a2c11771b024693ae0). scripts/build/download.ts:319-322 states that GitHub deletes the preview release when the PR merges or closes. test/internal/source-lints/webkit-prebuilt-url.test.ts:135-137 accepts any autobuild-* tag.

Correct. The preview tag is only there so that CI can build and test this change before oven-sh/WebKit#758 merges. When that pull request lands, I set WEBKIT_VERSION to the sha of the merged commit and check that the prebuilt artifacts exist for every platform. This pull request must not merge before that. I leave this thread open as the reminder.

That build also has what landed on oven-sh/WebKitmainafterfb1167ebf2cb.Self-review. The review ended with two concerns. The loader fault that stays needed its location and a link. #39941 needed a citation and a test of its shape. Both are done. The last stage of the review did not finish, so it gave no final verdict.
