… a preload, for a macro: import
A builtin alias with a query ("path?v=2") missed the builtin table on the
full text, lost its query in VirtualMachine::_resolve and went to the
resolver as "path": node_modules/path, or with auto-install the package
of that name in the registry. The name the cut leaves is now tested
against the table, and a builtin with a query is module-not-found, as in
Node.
--preload, --import, --require, bunfig preload, the Worker preload option
and macro:-prefixed imports handed a bare builtin name to the resolver
with no test. They now give it to the module loader, which loads the
builtin.
`bun --preload file://path` lost its scheme and went to the resolver as `path`: node_modules/path, or the registry's package. What the strip leaves is tested like what the ?query cut leaves, and is "preload not found" (Node: ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_HOST). Tests: one spawn per test and no test.concurrent for the new preload and query tests, so that a loaded machine does not push one past the default timeout.
… test more sources of a name - load_preloads does not refuse `file://path` any more. That strip hands any bare name to the resolver, not only a builtin's. - `_resolve` asserts in debug builds that its caller answered a builtin's name. - `preload_is_builtin` becomes `preload_skips_resolver`: a `node:` name that is no builtin skips the resolver too. - `ModuleLoader__isBuiltin` is as it was. - Tests: a Worker preload beside `./util.ts`, tsconfig `baseUrl` and `paths`, a package and a file URL that still preload, and `_tls_wrap`, whose warning shows that the builtin loads. - Docs: a replaced specifier with a query does not resolve, and a preload of one loads the built-in module.
…/util` for a Worker `_tls_wrap` warns only when the builtin loads, so a preload that was skipped fails the test. It is in one CLI row and in the Worker row, because it loads `node:tls` and that takes seconds in a debug build.

🟡 (optional) Users who preload a replaced npm package (--preload ws, -r abort-controller/polyfill, bunfig preload = ["undici"]) now get Bun's replacement module instead of the package they installed, silently. src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:213 makes preload_skips_resolver true for every alias-table key, including the 19 third-party replacement names, so src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:755 never calls resolve_and_auto_install and node_modules/ws is never read. Node -r ws runs the installed package; the base branch did too. Fix: limit the resolver skip to Node/Bun builtins (node_builtin keys, bun: keys, exposed internals) and keep replaced package names on the resolver path, at both src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:755 and src/jsc/web_worker.rs:331.
Why this was flagged
Trigger: bun --preload ws ./app.ts, bun -r abort-controller/polyfill ..., or bunfig preload = ["undici"] with the package installed in node_modules; this is the Node -r <pkg> migration pattern. On the base branch src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:753 only skipped the resolver for node: names, so the installed package resolved and ran. After the change HardcodedModule::Alias::has at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:207 is true for ws, undici, node-fetch, abort-controller/polyfill, utf-8-validate, next/dist/compiled/* (src/resolve_builtins/HardcodedModule.rs:747-802), so preload_skips_resolver at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:213 returns true and src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:756 passes the raw name to JSModuleLoader::import, which loads Bun's replacement. A patched or pinned ws/undici the user deliberately installed is bypassed with no message; Node and base Bun ran it. Remedy: skip the resolver for node_builtin / bun: / exposed-internal names only, leaving replaced package names on the resolver path.
Verification: src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:206-208 is_builtin is HardcodedModule::Alias::has(name, Target::Bun, ..), and BUN_ALIAS_MAP includes the "Thirdparty packages we override" entries at src/resolve_builtins/HardcodedModule.rs:747-802. src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:212-213 preload_skips_resolver returns true for those, so src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:755-756 hand the raw name to JSModuleLoader and node_modules/ws is never read.

Not changed. The Notes of the PR body list this row as ruling 2 for a maintainer.
The reason for the current choice: a preload of ws now loads the module that import "ws" loads in the same program. The documentation says that Bun loads its own module for these specifiers "even when the package is installed in node_modules", so the program does not use the installed ws, patched or not. With no node_modules, main asks the registry for ws for the preload, runs it, and then the program imports the module of Bun.
The other choice keeps a replaced name with the resolver, for a preload and for a ?query. It needs a way to tell a replaced package from a builtin, and the alias table has no such field today. It is a small follow-up if a maintainer prefers it.
…ests that load _tls_wrap - `load_preloads` tests the name without `file://`, as it did for `node:`. `file://node:fs` loads as before, and `file://path` is the builtin, not the package of that name. - The two tests that show the load with `_tls_wrap` have no timeout. They do not run in a debug build, where `node:tls` takes seconds to load.

🟡 nit (optional): Maintainers now carry two copies of the "is this name a builtin" predicate that can drift apart. The new is_builtin at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:206 and the existing ModuleLoader__isBuiltin at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:221 compute the same answer, one through the BUN_ALIAS_MAP hash lookup and one through the linear bun_aliases_get scan flagged "PERF" at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:171. Fix: have ModuleLoader__isBuiltin return is_builtin(str) so require.resolve.paths and Module._resolveLookupPaths share the single predicate; bun_aliases_get stays for its one remaining caller at src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:4677, which needs the Alias value.
Why this was flagged
The diff adds is_builtin at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:206-209 as HardcodedModule::Alias::has(name, Target::Bun, Default::default()) || exposed_internal_tag(name).is_some(). The pre-existing C++ entry point ModuleLoader__isBuiltin at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:218-222 evaluates bun_aliases_get(str).is_some() || exposed_internal_tag(str).is_some(). bun_aliases_get at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:174-190 linearly scans BUN_ALIASES after the same stream_iter_alias_gated gate that Alias::get applies at src/resolve_builtins/HardcodedModule.rs:928, and BUN_ALIAS_MAP at src/resolve_builtins/HardcodedModule.rs:900 is built from the same BUN_ALIASES tables (line 830), so the two predicates are semantically identical today. No runtime behaviour differs; this is a duplicate-implementation concern under the repository's one-implementation rule, and the comment at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:171-172 already asks for the hash-map form that is_builtin now provides. Nothing on the base branch prevents it, because the base had only the scan-based predicate.
Verification: nit. The PR adds a second "is this name a builtin" predicate beside an existing one that gives the identical answer. New is_builtin at src/jsc/ModuleLoader.rs:206-209 looks up BUN_ALIAS_MAP; the unchanged ModuleLoader__isBuiltin at ModuleLoader.rs:218-222 uses bun_aliases_get, which linearly scans the same BUN_ALIASES tables. Nothing breaks today, so this is cleanup-grade.

🟡 nit (optional): The file://path preload test drops stderr and exitCode from its assertion, so a nonzero exit or a stray warning on that path goes unnoticed. test/cli/run/preload-test.test.js:268-269 destructures only { stdout, requests } while every sibling test in the block asserts the full { stdout, stderr, exitCode, requests } object. Fix: assert the combined object with stderr: "" and exitCode: 0, as the --preload does not ask the registry test at :259 does, or state in a comment why those two fields cannot be asserted here.
Why this was flagged
The test at test/cli/run/preload-test.test.js:263-270 spawns bun --preload file://path main.js through the run helper, which returns { stdout, stderr, exitCode, requests }. Line 268 keeps only stdout and requests, and line 269 compares only those. If load_preloads at src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:755 later regressed to print a warning to stderr or main.js exited nonzero after printing, the test still passes. The sibling tests at :248-252 and :259 assert stderr: "" and exitCode: 0; the base branch has none of these tests, and REVIEW.md asks for the combined { stdout, stderr, exitCode } object. No comment explains why the two fields are omitted.
Verification: nit. Trigger: any future regression on the --preload file://path path that prints to stderr or exits nonzero after "main ran" goes undetected by this test. The run helper at test/cli/run/preload-test.test.js:227-228 returns { stdout, stderr, exitCode, requests }, but the test at :268-269 keeps only const { stdout, requests } = await run(...).
