[Jarred-Sumner]

What does this PR do?

This PR combines 67 open PRs about the CLI into one: bun run, flag parsing, bunfig.toml, .env, --filter and workspaces, bun init, shell completions, and bun test options. 17 were applied as they were (a few were trimmed afterwards), and 50 were ported by hand, whole or in part.

The baseline is the release, Bun 1.4.3. A command that exits 0 on 1.4.3 and does the right thing should do the same thing after this PR. Where an original PR went past that, only the part that doesn't break working commands is here (see "Left out on purpose"). The exceptions we know of are in the first table.

Commands that work on 1.4.3 and behave differently now

This is every command line we know of that exits 0 on 1.4.3 and now prints something else, writes something else, or exits with a different code. The rows most people could hit come first. Commands that already fail on 1.4.3 aren't in this table. They're in the per-area lists below it.

• In the Walk up for bunfig.toml when running from a subdirectory #29310 rows, the cwd is packages/a, a workspace member with no bunfig.toml, and the workspace root has one. The exact rule is right after the table.
• The bunfig: keep CLI flags ahead of bunfig.toml when it is loaded after argv (bun run) #38599 and Make CLI flags override their [run] counterparts in bunfig.toml #33198 rows are about bun run <flags> <file or script>, bun <flags> <script>, Bun running as node, bun repl, and compiled executables. Those read bunfig.toml after the flags. bun <flags> <file> already let the flag win.
• The dotenv: expand $VAR references against the merged map, not per-file #36698 and dotenv: keep $ literal before a digit #36030 rows are lines in one .env file, for keys that aren't exported in the shell.

Command	1.4.3	Now	PR
bun index.ts, bun run index.ts, bun -e, bun -p, bun -, and node index.js under bun run --bun	The root bunfig.toml is ignored	It's read. preload runs, and [define], [loader], jsx*, [console], smol, env, [install] auto and the other runtime keys apply	#29310
bun repl with root [define] MODE = "1"	typeof MODE is "undefined"	"number". The REPL doesn't run preload, same as with a file in the cwd	#29310
bun run start, bun start with root [run] silent = true	Prints $ echo started	Doesn't print it. [run] shell, bun, elide-lines and noOrphans apply too	#29310
From the root: bun run --filter a start, where start is bun index.ts. Same for --workspaces, --parallel, --sequential, and a member's lifecycle scripts that call bun	The child bun ignores the root file	The child runs in packages/a, so it reads the root file	#29310
bun test with root [test] preload, onlyFailures = true, or any other [test] key	Ignored	Applied	#29310
bun test with root [test] coverage = true and coverageThreshold = 0.9	1 pass, exit 0	Coverage table, error: coverage below coverageThreshold (functions 90.00%, lines 90.00%), exit 1. Same through bun run --filter a test	#29310
bun build index.ts (also --compile) with root [define] MODE = "1"	Emits typeof MODE	Emits "number"	#29310
The root bunfig.toml has a syntax error: bun index.ts, bun -e, bun test, bun build, node under --bun	exit 0	The parse error, exit 1. The same file in the cwd does that on 1.4.3. bun run index.ts still runs and exits 0, but prints the parse error. bun run start prints nothing new	#29310
cd scripts && bun x.ts, where package.json and bunfig.toml are one level up and scripts/ has neither	Ignored	Read	#29310
cwd is packages/a/src, and packages/a/bunfig.toml exists	Not read	Read. The root's file isn't, because the nearest file wins and nothing is merged	#29310
[test] coverage = false + bun test --coverage (or --coverage-reporter=...)	No coverage	Coverage	#40348
coverageReporter = "lcov" + --coverage-reporter=text	Writes coverage/lcov.info, no table	Prints the table, doesn't write lcov.info	#40348
coverageDir = "a" + --coverage-dir=b. [test.reporter] junit = "a.xml" + --reporter-outfile=b.xml	Writes a/lcov.info, a.xml	Writes b/lcov.info, b.xml	#40348
dots = false + --dots. onlyFailures = false + --only-failures. randomize = false + --randomize or --seed=N	The flag is ignored	The flag wins	#40348
seed = 1 + --seed=2. rerunEach = 3 + --rerun-each=1. retry = 2 + --retry=0. retry = 0 + --retry=2	The key wins	The flag wins. A flaky test that passed on a retry now fails under --retry=0	#40348
[define] X = "1" + bun run --define X=4 m.mjs	X is 1	4. The tables merge per key: with [define] A, B and --define C=3, all three are defined (1.4.3 drops C)	#38599
[loader] ".foo" = "text" + bun run --loader .foo:json m.mjs	text	json. The file's other extensions still apply	#38599
[console] depth = 1 + bun run --console-depth 5 m.mjs	Depth 1	Depth 5	#38599
jsxFactory = "h" + bun run --jsx-factory k m.jsx (also --jsx-fragment, --jsx-import-source)	h	k	#38599
A [macros] table + bun run --no-macros m.ts	The macro runs, exit 0	error: Macros are disabled, exit 1, like bun --no-macros m.ts	#38599
preload = ["./b.js"] + bun run --preload ./a.js m.mjs (also --require, --import, BUN_INSPECT_PRELOAD)	Only b.js loads	b.js, then a.js. preload = [] doesn't drop --preload anymore	#38599
[install] auto = "fallback" + bun run --no-install m.mjs	Asks the registry	Doesn't	#38599
[run] shell = "bun" + bun run --shell=system x, and the reverse	The key wins	The flag wins	#33198
[run] bun = false + bun run --bun x	Real node	Bun as node	#33198
smol = true + bun index.js or bun -e. [test] smol = true + bun test. smol = false + bun run --smol	Normal heap	Small heap. No output changes	#38611
cd packages/a && bun run build, where packages/a/package.json has a syntax error (merge-conflict markers, say) and the root has a build script. Same from packages/a/src	Runs the root's build, exit 0	The parse error with file and line, then error: Script not found "build", exit 1. A file, a node_modules/.bin entry or a PATH binary called build still runs, with no new output	#45113
bun run --if-present build next to a package.json with a syntax error	Runs the parent's script, or exits 0 silently	The parse error, then error: Script not found "build", exit 1. (bun run --if-present bake starts the built-in bun bake instead of exiting 0)	#45113
bun run --sequential a -- b c (or --parallel)	Three jobs: a, b, c	One job, a b c, like bun run a -- b c	#41717
bun run --sequential build -- 'touch M'	Runs touch M as a command	touch M is an argument to build	#41717
bun run --parallel --filter x build -- --watch	--watch is dropped	--watch is passed to build	#41717
FORCE_COLOR=1 bun run --filter '*' x | cat (any pipe or file)	The live view, with repeated panes and cursor-up codes (24 or more lines for 3 lines of output)	Plain pkg x: line records, byte for byte what 1.4.3 prints without FORCE_COLOR. No $ script header, and Exited with code 0 instead of Done in N ms. The scripts still inherit FORCE_COLOR=1, so their own output is still colored	#41983
FORCE_COLOR=1 bun --watch x.js > out 2> err (also --hot and the dev server's reload)	Writes \e[2J\e[3J\e[H into both files on reload	Writes it into neither. With | tee log in a terminal, it clears through stderr only	#41983
FORCE_COLOR=1 bun -e 'console.clear()' 2> err	The clear code lands in err	Nothing is written	#41983
A progress bar with FORCE_COLOR set and stderr not a terminal (bun create <template>, or bun install with BUN_INSTALL_PROGRESS=1)	Cursor-move codes (\e[26D\e[0K)	One line per refresh, as without FORCE_COLOR	#41983
bun run --filter pkg-a p (also --workspaces, --parallel, --sequential)	The script sees the root's npm_package_name, npm_package_version, npm_package_json and npm_package_config_*, and no npm_lifecycle_event	It sees pkg-a's values and npm_lifecycle_event=p (prep in the pre script). If the package has no version or no config, the root's value is still there. Nothing that's set on 1.4.3 becomes unset	#38101
bun run all, where the root script all is bun --filter app tag	tag sees npm_lifecycle_event=all	npm_lifecycle_event=tag	#38101
In a terminal: bun --filter a dev, --workspaces, --parallel, --sequential	Scripts write to a pipe and see no FORCE_COLOR, so most tools print without color	Scripts get FORCE_COLOR = 3, 2 or 1, by the terminal's color depth. Not in a pipe, not when FORCE_COLOR, NO_COLOR or NODE_DISABLE_COLORS is set, and under --parallel / --sequential only if stdout and stderr are both terminals	#35613
PORT=${PORT:-3000}	${PORT:-3000}	3000	#36698
Z=$Y, Y=$X, X=1	Z is $X	1	#36698
FOO=$FOO-bar and A=${A}	$FOO-bar-bar and ${A}	-bar and an empty string	#36698
URL=u:$PASS@h above PASS=abc\$def	u:abc\$def@h	u:abc$def@h	#36698
URL=$PW@h above PW=pa$$w0rd	pa$$w0rd@h	pa$@h. process.env.PW is pa$ on both	#36698

1=one, A=$1	A is one	$1. ${1} still expands	#36030
NODE_ENV=development bun build --production a.js (also test, staging, or BUN_ENV)	Inlines "development", keeps dev-only branches, emits jsxDEV, uses the "development" export condition, and reads .env.development under --env	"production", dev-only branches removed, jsx from react/jsx-runtime, .env.production. For a minified NODE_ENV=staging build, use --minify instead of --production. With nothing exported, the only difference is that Object.keys(Bun.env) in a macro lists NODE_ENV last	#45101
bun --no-env-file b.js (or BUN_OPTIONS, or bunfig env = false), where b.js calls Bun.build({ env: "inline" }) or env: "PREFIX_*"	.env values are inlined, and later Bun.spawn children and Workers get them	The bundle has process.env.SECRET, and children and Workers don't get the values. Same for HTML routes with [serve.static] env = "inline", macros, and builds inside bun test --no-env-file (also --parallel). With --env-file=custom.env added, only custom.env's keys are inlined	#45445
bun --no-env-file build.ts, where Bun.build() bundles a module that calls a macro and imports through a NODE_PATH that only .env sets	Builds	Could not resolve: "dep". bun build --no-env-file fails the same way on 1.4.3	#45445
bun run --if-present ls (a name that's only a program on the system PATH)	Runs /usr/bin/ls	Exits 0 and prints nothing. node_modules/.bin entries still run	#31878
bun init, bun init -y, -m, <folder> next to a package.json that doesn't parse, or whose root is [], "x", 1, null	exit 0, no message. package.json is replaced by the blank scaffold, the other files are written, bun install runs	The parse error (or error: package.json root must be an object) with the file's absolute path, exit 1, nothing written. In a terminal this comes before the template picker, so picking React there fails too. --react*, a 0-byte file and a whitespace-only file are unchanged	#41807
bun init -y with "main" or "module" set to "index", "./index", "lib/index", "data.json", "bin/cli", "addon.node"	Writes a Hello via Bun! stub at exactly that path, so bun . runs the stub instead of index.js	Writes a stub only if the entry has a JS or TS extension	#41741
bun init --react (and =tailwind, =shadcn) next to a README.md	Overwrites it	○ README.md (already exists, skipping)	#41741
bun init over "type": "commonjs" or "private": false	Rewrites them to "module" and true	Doesn't touch them. Both keys are still added when they're missing	#44992
bun init with @types/bun in dependencies or optionalDependencies, or typescript in either of those	Adds a second entry (devDependencies, peerDependencies), and the nested install warns Duplicate dependency	Doesn't add it. If nothing is added, the nested bun install doesn't run, so its output is gone too	#45836
node - with Bun as node, and a file called - in the cwd	Runs that file	Reads the script from stdin, like Node	#38566
node --conditions=custom app.cjs with Bun as node (bun --bun run srv)	The flag is ignored and the default export is loaded	The custom export is loaded	#44611
Bun itself has an IPC channel (fork, stdio: "ipc", pm2) and starts bunx tool, bun run <bin>, --filter scripts, bun exec, --shell=bun scripts, or install scripts	The child sees NODE_CHANNEL_FD=3 but never got the fd. Bun prints warn: Unable to start IPC socket, and Node fails with write EINVAL	The two NODE_CHANNEL_* variables aren't passed, and process.send is undefined. bun run <script> and bun file.js still get the channel	#41739
"workspaces": ["packages/*", "packages/legacy"] + bun run --filter legacy build (also --workspaces, --parallel, --sequential)	build runs twice	Once	#43357
Linux: "workspaces": ["packages/Core", "packages/lower"] + bun run --filter '*' x	Core is skipped silently	Both run	#29941
Linux: packages/Core and packages/core both exist	The lower-case one runs	One of them runs, and readdir order picks which	#29941
bun --cwd p run dev, bun --env-file .env.x run dev, bun --preload ./x.ts run app.ts, and the same with -r, --define X=1, --port 3000, --conditions c and so on, also through BUN_OPTIONS	Prints the bun run usage, exit 0, runs nothing	Runs it	#41511
bun --help init, bun -h init	Scaffolds ./init/	Prints bun init's help, writes nothing	#41511
bun --cwd=p init -y	Scaffolds ./init/	Scaffolds p/	#41511
bun --cwd= init	The flag is ignored, scaffolds ./init/	Could not change directory to "", exit 1	#41511
bun --bun init -y, bun --smol init -y, BUN_OPTIONS=--smol bun init -y, bun --silent init -y sub	Scaffolds ./init/	Scaffolds the cwd, or ./sub/ for the last one	#39379
bun --print=<code> test, bun --eval=<code> test	Runs bun test and ignores the code	Evaluates the code, with test in process.argv	#38578
bun --print test, bun --eval test (any command word)	Runs that command	Evaluates it (ReferenceError: test is not defined, exit 1). bun -p test and bun -p install are unchanged	#38578
bun run -e 'console.log(1)', bun run --eval=..., bun run -p 5, bun run --print=5	Prints the bun run usage, exit 0	Evaluates the code	#38678
bun test --reporter=junit --reporter=dots --reporter-outfile=j.xml	Dots, no j.xml	Dots and j.xml	#41881
bun test --reporter=dots --reporter=junit --reporter-outfile=j.xml	Normal lines and j.xml	Dots and j.xml	#41881
bun build --jsx-side-effects with no other --jsx-* flag (also bun run, bun test)	The flag is ignored. JSX calls get /* @__PURE__ */, and --minify-syntax drops an unused <Boom />	No annotation, and the element is kept. Nothing else in the output changes	#41920
A bunfig.toml that already has [test] isolate = true or [test] filePatterns	Unknown keys, ignored	Obeyed	#44682
[loader] "" = "ts" in bunfig.toml. Bun.build({ loader: { "": "text" } })	The "" key is dropped	It's the loader for files with no extension	#41996
jsx = "react-jsxdev" in bunfig.toml + bun run y.js	Runs, and prints Invalid jsx runtime on stderr	Runs, no error	#41643
bun run lint <args over 128 KB> on Linux	The shell can't start. Prints the E2BIG error, runs postlint, exits 0. With --silent, prints nothing	Exits 1 at the first failure, and prints the error under --silent too	#38022
The same spawn failure in a lifecycle script of bun pm pack, bun publish, bun pm version, or a bun create script	Continues as if the script had run	Prints the error, exit 1	#38022
bun run bad (the script exits 3) when the parent process ignores SIGCHLD (trap "" CHLD, some supervisors)	Prints an ECHILD error and exits 0. A script that succeeds also prints one ECHILD error per script	error: script "bad" exited with code 3, exit 3. A script that succeeds prints no error	#38022
Bun.spawnSync(...) and await Bun.spawn(...).exited under the same parent	exitCode is null, and exited throws ECHILD	Both give the exit code	#38022
bun install under the same parent, with an optional dependency whose postinstall exits 0	Takes the script for a failed one and deletes the package and its .bin links, exit 0	The package stays installed	#38022
An unhandled rejection, plus process.on("exit", () => process.exit())	exit 0	exit 1	#38116
bun --watch x.js or --hot on a script that has finished and has a beforeExit listener	The listener fires about once a second while idle	Once per run, and once more after each reload	#38658
bun --preserve-symlinks main.mjs or NODE_PRESERVE_SYMLINKS=1, where main.mjs imports a symlink to a file (also require.resolve, import.meta.resolve, Bun.resolveSync, --preload link.ts)	The module has its real path, and its imports resolve from the real directory	It has the link's path, and its imports resolve from the link's directory. So a linked file that imports a neighbor of its target now fails with Cannot find module, and a file reached both directly and through a link is evaluated twice	#36757
bun --preserve-symlinks-main link.ts, bun run --preserve-symlinks-main ./link (the flag, not the env var)	Bun.main, process.argv[1], import.meta.path and __filename are the real path	<cwd>/link.ts, and its imports resolve from there	#36757
bun --preserve-symlinks-main pkg/main through a linked directory (flag or NODE_PRESERVE_SYMLINKS_MAIN=1)	Bun.main is the real path, and import.meta.main is false	The link's path, true	#36757
bun build --preserve-symlinks main.mjs	The flag does nothing	Imported links (files and directories) have the link's path. An entry point that's a link is still resolved to its target	#36757
A compiled executable with --dns-result-order=ipv4first or --inspect* from --compile-exec-argv or BUN_OPTIONS	The flags show up in process.execArgv and do nothing	They work. dns.getDefaultResultOrder() is ipv4first, --inspect opens the inspector, and --inspect-wait / --inspect-brk wait for a client. With --disallow-code-generation-from-strings=strict baked in too, --inspect is the same error as in bun, exit 1	#40703
bun test --parallel when a worker can't write its snapshots (two values for one toMatchInlineSnapshot() call, a read-only test file, a full disk)	exit 0. With a full disk nothing is printed and the .snap file is empty	exit 1, like a serial run. For a .snap file, also error: Failed to write snapshot file	#39061
bun discord (and its --help). BUN_CONFIG_VERBOSE_FETCH=1. bun install --verbose. The bun init menu with NO_COLOR=1	A bare > is dropped: - https://bun.com/discord, HTTP/1.1 GET ..., 2 packages - 2 packages, no > marker in the menu	-> https://bun.com/discord, > HTTP/1.1 GET ..., 2 packages -> 2 packages, > Blank	#40713
bun --help, bun run --help, bun build --help, bun patch --help	--loader lists 10 loaders, --no-module-preload has a hole in its text, --asset says "preserving its relative path", and the third bun patch example has no --commit	--loader lists all 17, --no-module-preload has its words back, --asset says where the file is mounted, and the example has --commit	#38270, #42967, #44065, #45417
A link or copy of Bun called NODE, node.EXE, or (on POSIX) node.exe	Runs as bun. With no arguments it prints Bun's help, exit 0	Runs as node. With no arguments it prints error: Missing script to execute, exit 1	#35653, #36827
bun completions	Prints the old bash, fish and zsh scripts	All three scripts have changed	#36629
bash: bun build <TAB>, bun dev <TAB>, bun init <TAB>, bun info <TAB>, bun ci <TAB>	Offers the subcommand list (install add run ...) as the second word	Offers the global flags and files	#36629
bash: bun --watch run d<TAB>	Offers the subcommands dev discord dedupe	Offers the package.json scripts that start with d	#36629
fish: bun run <TAB>	6 entries in our test project	15: the same 6, then every file and directory	#36629
fish: bun run src/<TAB>	Loosely matched script names (build, dev, test:unit)	The files in src/	#36629
fish: bun --cwd <TAB>, bun --env-file <TAB>, bun --preload <TAB>	Everything (37 entries)	Files only (11)	#36629
Windows: bunx.exe --bun <tool> with bun.exe next to it	process.execPath, process.argv[0] and process.argv0 point at bunx.exe, and process.execArgv is ["--bun", "--no-install"]	bun.exe, [], and child_process.fork() starts bun	#40300
Windows: bun run --filter x y > NUL	The live view	Plain records	#41983
Windows, a legacy console without VT support	The progress bar writes raw escape codes	It uses the console API	#41983
macOS, not run: bun <(echo ...), if it works there on 1.4.3 (reports disagree)	import.meta.path and Bun.main are /dev/fd/N	<cwd>/[stdin], relative imports resolve from the cwd, and process._eval is set	#35463

When a parent's bunfig.toml is read (#29310)

• It applies to bun <file>, bun run, bun -e / -p / -, bun repl, Bun running as node, bun test and bun build. It doesn't apply with --config, or when the cwd has a bunfig.toml.
• Bun picks the nearest bunfig.toml in a parent directory, and uses it only if it's inside the project. The project root is the directory of the nearest package.json at or above the cwd. If the file is above that, the root is the first package.json further up that has workspaces, and only if those workspaces list the package's directory (globs, ! patterns and the { packages: [] } form all work). Any package.json marks a project root, even one that only has { "type": "module" }.
• With no package.json at or above the cwd, nothing is read.
• One file is read. Nothing is merged.
• Bun doesn't search parent directories when the cwd is inside node_modules, or in a compiled executable.
• A parent's file is skipped unless the file and the directory it's in both have the same owner as the cwd. So a file that another user put in a shared parent directory (/tmp, the root of a data drive) is never loaded, and neither is a hard link there to one of your own files. On Unix that's the uid from lstat. On Windows it's the owner SID, and a parent's file that is a symlink is skipped too. A skipped file is silent, and the search continues upward. Group-writable and world-writable parents are fine as long as the owners match.
• A limit of that rule: if the project directory belongs to a different user than its contents (a Docker image with WORKDIR /app created by root and COPY --chown=1000 . .), the root's file is skipped from a member directory, which is what 1.4.3 does.
• Cost: when the cwd has no bunfig.toml, startup does one extra lstat per parent directory, up to the filesystem root. The workspace root isn't known until the walk finds it, so the walk can't stop earlier.
• ./ and ../ entries in preload and [test] preload resolve from the parent file's directory. Entries in ./bunfig.toml and in a --config file are still relative to the cwd. [test] root in a parent's file isn't applied, so bun test in a member directory still scans that directory. Every other path key is still relative to the cwd.
• Keys that can now apply from a parent's file (we didn't measure each one). Running code: preload, define, loader, jsx*, macros, smol, logLevel, env, telemetry, [run], [console], [serve], [serve.static], [debug] editor, and the [install] keys that auto-install uses. bun test: those plus all of [test]. bun build: define, loader, jsx*, macros, external, [bundle], logLevel, [serve.static].
• Unchanged: bun install, add, remove, update, outdated, audit, publish, patch, link, bunx, bun create, init, lint, fmt, check, exec, upgrade. (bun install and bun pm already read the root's [install] from a member.)
• Cost: one more access() when the cwd has a bunfig.toml. Otherwise one failing lstat() per parent directory up to /. A package.json is only looked at, and at most one is parsed, after a candidate file is found.

bun run

• A script whose shell couldn't be spawned (an argument list over 128 KB, a process limit) exited 0, and the post script still ran. bun run now stops at the first failure and exits 1. Every Failed to run script error now prints under --silent too, including a script that --shell=bun can't parse. (run: exit 1 and report it when the system shell for a package.json script fails to spawn #38022)
• With SIGCHLD ignored by the parent process, bun run printed ECHILD and exited 0 no matter what the script returned. Bun now resets an inherited SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD once, before its first spawn, so bun run, bunx, Bun.spawn, Bun.spawnSync and child_process get exit codes back. (run: exit 1 and report it when the system shell for a package.json script fails to spawn #38022)
• bunx pkg, bun x pkg and bun run --silent <bin> printed nothing and exited 1 when the bin couldn't be started (missing interpreter, empty file, no shebang, wrong architecture). They now print error: Failed to run "<bin>" due to: and the errno line. bunx also reports a bun add child that couldn't be spawned. Still exit 1. (run: report a bin that failed to exec even when --silent is set (bunx exited silently) #37999)
• bun run --if-present test with no test script ran /usr/bin/test and exited 1. With --if-present, bun run now looks for a binary only in the directories it adds to PATH itself (node_modules/.bin and so on), not in the system PATH. (run: do not run a same-named $PATH binary for bun run --if-present #31878; fixes bun run --if-present test tries to run /bin/test - works as expected in npm #31877)
• bun <(echo ...), bun run <(...), cat f | bun /dev/stdin and bun ./fifo failed on Linux with Module not found 'pipe:[N]'. An entry point that's a pipe or FIFO is now read and run the way bun - runs stdin. (cli: run pipe/FIFO entry points (process substitution) instead of failing on 'pipe:[...]' #35463; fixes Bun can't read file descriptors #7102)
• bun run -e <code>, --eval, -p and --print printed the bun run usage and exited 0. With no target after run, they now evaluate, like bun -e. (cli: make bun run -e / bun run --print evaluate the script #38678; half of bun --print may interpret what follows as a sub-command w/ no way to escape && bun run --eval is broken #23631)
• bun run build next to a package.json with a syntax error said only Script not found "build", or ran a parent package's build. It now skips the parent's scripts. If nothing else has that name, it prints that file's parse errors and then the same Script not found / Module not found / File not found line as before, exit 1. Errors from other files aren't printed. (run: report a package.json that does not parse instead of using a parent's scripts #45113, bun run: print the package.json parse error instead of "Script not found" #41700)
• A typo in tsconfig.json dropped its paths, and bun run app.ts said only Cannot find module '@m/x'. When the entry point throws or fails to load, the queued tsconfig.json / package.json errors and warnings are now printed after the error. Runs that exit 0 or call process.exit() print what they printed before. (run: report tsconfig.json load errors before the entry point runs #41683)
• After an unhandled rejection, a reportError(), or an error thrown in a Bun.serve handler, process.on("exit") listeners got 0 and process.exitCode was undefined (or the value the program had set), although the run exits 1. Both are now 1. (bun run: decide the exit code of a printed error before 'exit' listeners run #38116)
• Under --watch and --hot, beforeExit fired on every event loop wakeup of an idle script. It now fires once per drain. A listener that schedules more work still gets its second call. (hot/watch: dispatch beforeExit once per drain, not once per event loop wakeup #38658)
• --preserve-symlinks only worked for linked directories, --preserve-symlinks-main did nothing for bun link.ts, and bun build ignored --preserve-symlinks. Imported file symlinks now have the link's path, the -main flag works for bun <file> and bun run ./link, import.meta.main is true for a preserved entry point, and the bundler gets the flag. (Make --preserve-symlinks and --preserve-symlinks-main work in the runtime and bundler #36757; fixes --preserve-symlinks has no effect in the runtime — module paths are still canonicalized to the real path #36755, fixes --preserve-symlinks is a no-op at runtime: module resolution and __filename still use the real path #43689)
• --inspect, --inspect-brk, --inspect-wait and --dns-result-order did nothing in a compiled executable. They're now forwarded to the VM. (Forward --inspect and --dns-result-order to the VM in compiled executables #40703)
• bun run --shell=bun start and [run] shell = "bun" failed with An internal error occurred (MissingShell) on images with no /bin/sh (distroless, FROM scratch). Bun now looks for a system shell only when it's going to use one. When it needs one and finds none, the error is Bun could not find a system shell (bash, sh, or zsh) to run this script, with a note about --shell=bun. (bun run: do not look for a system shell when --shell=bun runs the script #43231)
• When Bun had an IPC channel, tools it started through bunx, bun run <bin>, --filter, bun exec, --shell=bun or install scripts were told they had one too, without getting the fd. The two NODE_CHANNEL_* variables are no longer passed there. (Do not forward the inherited IPC channel to spawned scripts and tools #41739)
• With Bun as node, echo 'console.log(42)' | node - failed with Module not found '<cwd>/-'. It now reads stdin, like bun run -. (cli: read the script from stdin for node - in node emulation #38566)
• With Bun as node, --conditions was accepted and ignored. Every command that parses the global flags now reads it. (cli: read --conditions for every command, so node emulation applies it #44611)

Flags and argument parsing

• A flag with a space-separated value before the command (bun --cwd p run dev, bun --env-file .env test, BUN_OPTIONS='--preload ./x.ts' bun install) made Bun read the value as the command. run printed its usage and exited 0, and other commands failed with Script not found "test". Bun now skips the value. After it, run is bun run, and any other command word is the command only if the project has no script, file or node_modules/.bin entry with that name. So bun --cwd apps/web build still runs a build script. A command that doesn't know the flag fails the way it does for --flag=value (bun --preload ./x install says bun install has no --preload flag). (cli: take flag arity from the auto table when the subcommand is classified #41511; fixes bun --cwd . run Fails with Exit Code 0 #10333)
• bun --bun init, bun --smol init and BUN_OPTIONS=--smol bun init scaffolded into a new ./init/. bun init now reads its arguments from after the word init, applies --cwd, and prints its help for bun --help init. (Fix bun init, bun info, bun upgrade and bun pm trust when runtime flags or BUN_OPTIONS precede the subcommand #39379, cli: take flag arity from the auto table when the subcommand is classified #41511)
• bun --bun upgrade and BUN_OPTIONS=--bun bun upgrade failed with This command updates Bun itself, and does not take package names. They now upgrade, and the note for bun --smol upgrade bun-types suggests bun update bun-types, not bun update upgrade bun-types. (Fix bun init, bun info, bun upgrade and bun pm trust when runtime flags or BUN_OPTIONS precede the subcommand #39379; fixes The --bun flag breaks bun upgrade #20347)
• node_modules/bun/bin/bunx.exe on Linux and macOS (the file's real name in the npm bun package), bunx.EXE on Windows, and BUNX ran as plain bun and failed with Script not found. The bunx / node name check now strips .exe on every platform and ignores ASCII case. (cli: detect bunx when argv[0] ends with bunx.exe on posix #35653, cli: match bunx/node invocation names case-insensitively #36827; fixes Windows: bunx.EXE is misclassified as bun because executable-name detection is case-sensitive #36826)
• bun --print x printed a bunx error, and bun --print test started the test runner. --eval, --print, --eval= and --print= now end the search for a command, like -e. (cli: evaluate bun -p test / bun --print test / bun -pe help instead of dispatching the code as a subcommand #38578; the other half of bun --print may interpret what follows as a sub-command w/ no way to escape && bun run --eval is broken #23631)
• --main-fields=module,main and --extension-order=.js,.ts were read as one odd name, so modules weren't found. Both now split on commas. Repeated flags still add up. (cli: apply --extension-order to ESM imports; split --main-fields/--extension-order on commas #34982)
• bun build --target=nope (or nodejs, Node, deno, bun-linux-x64 without --compile) said error: Invalid Argument ''. It now says error: Invalid value for --target: "nope". Must be 'browser', 'bun', or 'node'. The --bytecode and --app target errors echo the value as typed. (cli: name --target and echo the rejected value when it is invalid #40704)
• bun build --jsx-side-effects did nothing unless another --jsx-* flag was also passed. It now works by itself, and nothing else about the JSX transform changes. (cli: make --jsx-side-effects work alone, leave dev/prod to tsconfig and NODE_ENV #41920)
• The --loader line in bun --help and bun run --help left out 7 loaders that work: yaml, json5, xml, md, css, html, sqlite. It now lists all 17. (cli: list every working loader name in the --loader help text #38270)
• bun build --help printed don't emit for the chunks because <link rel=modulepreload> was eaten as a color tag. A flag description with an unknown <tag> is now a compile error. (cli: fix the --no-module-preload help text and two bunfig error messages #42967)
• bun build --help, the .d.ts and the docs said --asset a/b keeps its relative path. It's mounted under its last path segment, next to the entry point, and the text now says so. (docs: describe where bun build --compile --asset mounts a file or directory #44065; fixes bun build --compile --asset keeps only the last path segment, but --help says it preserves the relative path #44062)
• The third bun patch --help example lacked --commit. Typed as printed, it exited 0, wrote no patch, and threw the edit away. The example now has --commit. (bun patch --help: add --commit to the custom patches directory example #45417)

bunfig.toml

• bun <file>, bun run, bun test and bun build ignored the project's bunfig.toml when started in a subdirectory or a workspace member. See the rule above. (Walk up for bunfig.toml when running from a subdirectory #29310; fixes Respect root bunfig.toml on monorepo #4112; also reported in Inherit onlyFailures from the root bunfig.toml in a monorepo #29109 and preload in bunfig.toml not work when working directory is not the project root #29308)
• bun run <flags> <file> lost its flags to bunfig.toml: --define, --loader, --console-depth, --jsx-factory, --jsx-fragment, --jsx-import-source, --install / -i / --no-install and --no-macros lost to their keys, --preload was dropped if the file had preload, and any bunfig.toml at all undid --jsx-runtime classic (exit 1, Cannot find module 'react/jsx-dev-runtime'). The flags now win. [define] and [loader] merge per key, and the file's preload runs before the flags'. (bunfig: keep CLI flags ahead of bunfig.toml when it is loaded after argv (bun run) #38599)
• --shell lost to [run] shell, and --bun lost to [run] bun = false. The flags now win. (Make CLI flags override their [run] counterparts in bunfig.toml #33198)
• smol = true did nothing for bun file.js and bun -e, and [test] smol = true did nothing for bun test or its --parallel workers. Both now give the small heap, and bun run --smol beats smol = false. (bunfig: honor smol and install.prefer for bun file.js / bun test, and let the flags override them for bun run #38611)
• jsx = "react-jsxdev", the spelling TypeScript and Bun's docs use, was rejected, so bun <file>, bun test, bun install and bun build all exited 1 in that directory. The three jsx values now match in any letter case. Other values are still errors. (bunfig: match the jsx runtime name case-insensitively #41643)
• The errors for a bad install.prefer and install.auto listed fewer values than Bun accepts (latest and auto were missing). They now list all of them. (cli: fix the --no-module-preload help text and two bunfig error messages #42967)
• Docs: the three accepted jsx values, jsxFragment is bunfig's name for jsxFragmentFactory, and a fixed link. (docs: list the accepted bunfig jsx values and the [hashN] range #42436)
• New: the "" key in [loader] and in Bun.build({ loader }) sets the loader for files with no extension, like --loader :tsx on the command line. Without the key, nothing changes. (bundler: treat a file with no extension as tsx, like the runtime does #41996)

[loader]
"" = "ts"

.env

• In one file, PORT=${PORT:-3000}, forward references and self references were left as literal $ text. A reference now gets the expanded value of a key defined later in the same file, and a key is treated as unset inside its own value. (dotenv: expand $VAR references against the merged map, not per-file #36698)
• $ before a digit dropped the $ and what followed: someKey=123$567 loaded as 123. It's now literal. (dotenv: keep $ literal before a digit #36030; the repro in environment value is not fully loaded with special character $ #4994)
• With --no-env-file or bunfig env = false, the first Bun.build({ env }) or HTML route still read .env. The switch now applies to the whole process. (dotenv: one process flag makes Bun.build, macros and HTML routes follow --no-env-file #45445)
• bun build --production lost to an exported NODE_ENV or BUN_ENV and built for that mode. --production now sets NODE_ENV (and BUN_ENV, if one is exported) after the process environment is loaded. (bun build --production: write NODE_ENV after the process environment loads #45101)
• bun build crashed at random (bounds panic in the .env parser, segfault, bus error) when several modules called a macro and the cwd had a .env, because every macro VM loaded .env into the build's one env map with no lock. Each VM now loads into a copy, and the build adopts what the copy read under a lock, so a NODE_PATH that only .env sets still resolves the imports of a module that calls a macro. A macro that assigns process.env.HTTP_PROXY no longer puts freed memory in the bundle. (macros: give each parse-worker macro VM its own env loader #45960; fixes Bundler crashes at random when several modules call macros and a .env is in the cwd (race in macro context init's env loader) #45491)
• Test only: the process.env string coercion test now runs on POSIX. It has passed since 1.4.0. (test: un-todo the process.env string coercion test on POSIX #38864)

--filter, --parallel, --sequential and workspaces

• On Linux, one directory with a capital letter under a workspaces glob (packages/Core, packages/Docs) made every bun run --filter / --workspaces fail with error: FileNotFound, and a literal "packages/Core" entry was skipped. The walker now uses the name as it is on disk. macOS and Windows use the same lookup as 1.4.3. (bun run --filter: use original-case basename for workspace dirs #29941; fixes Workspace package in camel case not found on Linux #21670)
• Two workspaces entries that match the same directory (packages/* and packages/legacy) ran its script twice, at the same time under --filter. It now runs once. (run: run a package once when two "workspaces" entries match it #43357)
• FORCE_COLOR=1 with output going to a pipe or file turned on the live --filter view, screen clears on --watch / --hot reload, console.clear(), and the ANSI progress bar. None of them turns on now unless the stream is a terminal. In a terminal nothing changes, including with NO_COLOR=1. (Gate the --filter redraw UI and screen clears on isatty, not on FORCE_COLOR #41983)
• Script output under --filter, --workspaces, --parallel and --sequential was colorless in a terminal, because scripts write to a pipe. Bun now sets FORCE_COLOR for them. (run --filter: forward FORCE_COLOR to scripts when attached to a color TTY #35613; fixes bun --filter removes ANSI colors from certain output #10346)
• Scripts under those flags saw the root package's npm_package_* and no npm_lifecycle_event. They now see what bun run inside the package gives them. (run --filter/--parallel: set npm_package_* and npm_lifecycle_* per script #38101)
• bun run --parallel build -- --watch ran --watch as a job (exit 2 and bash's usage text). With --workspaces it failed with Missing "--watch" script, and with --filter the argument was dropped. Words after -- are now arguments to each main script, not to its pre / post scripts. a b c, a leading -- a b and a bare trailing -- are unchanged. (run: pass the arguments after -- to each script under --parallel and --sequential #41717)

bun init, bun create, completions

• bun init replaced a package.json it couldn't parse with the blank scaffold. It now prints the error and writes nothing. (init: never write over a package.json that was not loaded #41807)
• bun init wrote a JS stub at an extension-less or non-JS main / module path, and bun init --react overwrote README.md. It now writes a stub only at a path with a JS or TS extension, and skips a README.md that exists. (init: report failed scaffold writes, and do not create an entry stub that shadows a module #41741)
• bun init rewrote "type": "commonjs" and "private": false. It now writes each key only if it's missing. (init: do not set type or private in a package.json that was loaded #44992)
• bun init added @types/bun or typescript a second time when another dependency group already listed it. It now checks dependencies, devDependencies and optionalDependencies first, plus peerDependencies for typescript. (init: do not add @types/bun or typescript that dependencies or optionalDependencies lists #45836)
• Dead code removed from bun init (React dependency tables after the early return) and bun create (the example lister). No visible change. (Remove dead code from bun init, bun create, bun_md, bun_install, and the socket and Postgres code #44102)
• bash: bun ind<TAB>, bun src/<TAB>, bun test sr<TAB>, bun build src/<TAB> and bun script.ts foo<TAB> completed nothing, and a flag in front (bun --hot run src/<TAB>, bun --cwd src run src/<TAB>, bun --silent install --<TAB>) broke completion. They now complete files, directories (with a /), and the right command's flags, with or without extglob. 14 flags were added to the global list. (completions: complete files for bun <path> and skip runtime flags before dispatch #36629; fixes Bash autocomplete #6037, the completion half of bun CLI without run does not autocomplete and it can't read options (--hot, --watch) after run command #7805)
• bash: bun run <TAB> and bun run d<TAB> never offered package.json scripts. They do now, only after run. This includes the one-line fix from fix(completions): undefined variable leading to bash completion errors #26743, plus quote stripping that doesn't need extglob. (completions: complete files for bun <path> and skip runtime flags before dispatch #36629)
• fish: bun run src/<TAB> offered script names instead of files, and bun --hot src/<TAB> offered nothing. --hot no longer swallows the next word, commands that work on files complete files, and 11 more flags are declared. (completions: complete files for bun <path> and skip runtime flags before dispatch #36629; fixes Bun run doesn't autocomplete for executable files in directory #20216)
• zsh: bun src/<TAB> descends into directories, bun script.ts foo<TAB> and anything after an unknown first word complete files, and bun run <TAB> also lists .mjs, .cjs, .mts, .cts and .html. (completions: complete files for bun <path> and skip runtime flags before dispatch #36629; for Tab key can't work for the 2nd argument in macOS shell #30386, not run in zsh)

bun test

• Every bun test flag now beats its [test] key: --coverage, --coverage-reporter, --coverage-dir, --reporter-outfile, --dots, --only-failures, --randomize, --seed, --rerun-each, --retry. --parallel workers get the same values. Two errors are gone because the clashing key isn't applied: rerunEach = 3 + --rerun-each=0 --retry=2, and retry + rerunEach in one file + --retry=0. Every other seed / retry / rerunEach error has the same text and the same bunfig.toml:line:col. (bun test: apply command line flags after bunfig.toml so they override [test] keys #40348; fixes Values in bunfig.toml take precedence over command line args #12216)
• New: [test] filePatterns (a string or an array) replaces the .test / _test / .spec / _spec name rule for discovered files. Patterns match the path relative to the project root, and a ! pattern excludes. Filters, pathIgnorePatterns and files passed by path work as before. If nothing matches, the No tests found! note lists the patterns. A value that isn't a string or an array of strings is an error. (bun test: add test.isolate and test.filePatterns to bunfig.toml, apply flags after [test] keys #44682; fixes Allow custom patterns for bun test #3440)
• New: [test] isolate = true is --isolate. --no-isolate beats it, and --isolate and --parallel beat isolate = false. (bun test: add test.isolate and test.filePatterns to bunfig.toml, apply flags after [test] keys #44682; fixes bunfig.toml: add test.isolate and a test file include pattern #44643)

[test]
filePatterns = ["**/*.itest.ts", "**/__tests__/*.unit.tsx"]
isolate = true

• New: --reporter can be repeated. Only the last value can fail the run, same as 1.4.3. An earlier value that's unsupported, or an earlier junit with no outfile, is skipped. (bun test: apply every --reporter flag, reject --reporter-outfile without junit #41881)

bun test --reporter=junit --reporter=dots --reporter-outfile=junit.xml

• bun test --coverage below coverageThreshold exited 1 after 1 pass, 0 fail without saying why. It now prints error: coverage below coverageThreshold (functions 90.00%, lines 90.00%) after the summary. (bunfig: validate coverageThreshold keys, enforce only the listed metrics, name the missed threshold #32849)
• bun test --parallel exited 0 when a worker couldn't write its snapshots. It now exits 1, like a serial run, and prints error: Failed to write snapshot file when a .snap file can't be written. (bun test --parallel: exit 1 when a worker fails to write its snapshots #39061)
• bun test --changed crashed with a segfault report on release builds when a test hit a WebAssembly out-of-bounds access or terminated a busy Worker. The blocking git spawn reinstalled Bun's fault-signal handlers over JavaScriptCore's. It doesn't anymore. (spawn: don't reinstall fault-signal handlers after sync-spawn signal forwarding #30776)
• Ctrl+C or SIGTERM on bun test --parallel while every worker was busy took about 0.7 s to act on, because nothing woke the event loop. The signal handler now wakes it (about 35 ms). Same report, same exit codes 130 / 143. (bun test --parallel, repl: act on a signal at once, and survive its repeat #45756)
• Docs: which worker deaths fail one file, which seven signals abort a --parallel run, and the 130 / 143 exit codes. (docs(test): correct which worker deaths abort a --parallel run, add interrupt exit codes #43039)

Messages and crashes

• The color-markup rewriter deleted every > that wasn't part of a tag, so about 15 messages were garbled: verbose fetch lines, -> arrows in bun install --verbose, >> /etc/sysctl.conf in the fd-limit hint, the NO_COLOR marker in the bun init menu. A bare > is now printed. (output: keep a bare > in pretty templates instead of dropping it #40713)
• bun install with "dependencies": [], a string, or a numeric version printed its example with raw markup: <green>"bun"<r>: <green>"latest"<r>. It now prints "bun": "latest". (pretty_fmt: keep rewriting markup after an escaped {{ #37855)
• The out-of-file-descriptors hints told people to run sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 2147483646, which makes every new terminal on macOS hang for minutes until a reboot. The hints now use bounded values (65536, 200000, 2097152), and echo ... | sudo tee -a instead of a sudo echo ... >> that can't work. (Suggest bounded fd limits in the fd-exhaustion error hints #37339; fixes macOS: EMFILE hint recommends sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 2147483646; following it makes every new Terminal login spin ~5 minutes of CPU, and SIP blocks undoing it until reboot #37337)
• A failed Rust allocation printed memory allocation of N bytes failed, then Bun has crashed. This indicates a bug in Bun. It now prints Bun has run out of memory (failed to allocate N bytes). (crash handler: report failed Rust allocations as out of memory #39635)
• Ctrl+C in bun repl during an await took about 0.8 s, and never came back with BUN_GC_TIMER_DISABLE=1. The signal handler now wakes the event loop. (bun test --parallel, repl: act on a signal at once, and survive its repeat #45756)

Windows only

• bunx --bun <tool> runs the tool inside bunx.exe, so a tool that calls child_process.fork() (tinypool, vitest's forks pool, oxfmt) started bunx again and its workers died. If bun.exe is next to bunx.exe, process.execPath and process.argv[0] now point at it, and process.execArgv no longer has the bunx flags. (bunx: fix process identity when the Windows fast path runs a bin in-process #40300; fixes oxfmt fails to format HTML files when running with --bun #40298)
• Ctrl+C on bun run --filter x dev, --parallel or --sequential while the scripts print nothing never ended the run, and the server kept its port. The console handler now wakes the event loop. (run: act on SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP at once in --filter and --parallel/--sequential #41478; fixes bun run --filter leaves workspace child process alive after Ctrl+C on Windows #42962)
• bun run --silent --shell=system say %PATH% exited 1 and printed nothing. It now prints the existing contains a cmd.exe special character error. (run: exit 1 and report it when the system shell for a package.json script fails to spawn #38022)

Left out on purpose

Most of these parts of the original PRs would change commands that work today. The rest couldn't be checked, or aren't about the CLI.

• bun run: print the package.json parse error instead of "Script not found" #41700: its source change is replaced by run: report a package.json that does not parse instead of using a parent's scripts #45113's. Script not found is still printed, and only the nearest package.json's errors are printed, not the whole queued log.
• run: report a package.json that does not parse instead of using a parent's scripts #45113: a bare bun run next to a broken package.json still prints No package.json found., which is what bun run returns "No package.json found." when package.json has syntax errors. #19604 reports, so that issue is still open. --parallel / --sequential, npm_package_*, the PATH entry and completions still come from the parent package.
• cli: take flag arity from the auto table when the subcommand is classified #41511: a script still beats a command word after a flag's value (bun --cwd apps/web build, test, install, ci). bun --filter=server test still runs the test runner in the cwd, so bun --filter test cannot find module .env file #40544 is still open. bun --cwd=p create tpl dest still creates ./dest.
• cli: evaluate bun -p test / bun --print test / bun -pe help instead of dispatching the code as a subcommand #38578: bun -p install is still bun install --production, and bun -p test still runs the tests.
• cli: make bun run -e / bun run --print evaluate the script #38678: bun run -e code dev still runs dev.
• run: do not run a same-named $PATH binary for bun run --if-present #31878: node_modules/.bin entries still run under --if-present.
• cli: apply --extension-order to ESM imports; split --main-fields/--extension-order on commas #34982: --extension-order still applies only to require(), so Add support for configuring the order of extensions similar to --resolve-extensions of esbuild #14575 and Equivalent of vitest resolveExtensions #24783 are still open.
• dotenv: expand $VAR references against the merged map, not per-file #36698: $VAR still can't see another .env file, so Bun env-expand doesn't work between env files #15099 is still open. That half changes values that load fine today (${BASE_PORT:-3000} would go from 3000 to 4000).
• dotenv: one process flag makes Bun.build, macros and HTML routes follow --no-env-file #45445: --env-file without --no-env-file, Bun as node, and executables compiled with dotenv autoload off still let a later Bun.build() read .env.
• bun build --production: write NODE_ENV after the process environment loads #45101: bun build --app is unchanged.
• bunfig: keep CLI flags ahead of bunfig.toml when it is loaded after argv (bun run) #38599: bun --define C=3 m.mjs, bun test --define and bun build --define still replace the file's [define] table as a whole.
• Make CLI flags override their [run] counterparts in bunfig.toml #33198: the --silent / silent = false pair and --elide-lines are unchanged.
• Walk up for bunfig.toml when running from a subdirectory #29310: no other key became relative to the bunfig.toml, there's no .git or lockfile stop, and a --config file's preload is still relative to the cwd.
• bun test: apply command line flags after bunfig.toml so they override [test] keys #40348: the flags are still parsed before the file. Reordering them would change three error messages and start accepting --reporter=junit with no outfile.
• bun test: apply every --reporter flag, reject --reporter-outfile without junit #41881: no new error for --reporter-outfile without --reporter=junit, or for an unsupported earlier --reporter.
• bun test: add test.isolate and test.filePatterns to bunfig.toml, apply flags after [test] keys #44682: the three No tests found texts are unchanged while filePatterns is unset. --config isn't forwarded to --parallel workers.
• bunfig: validate coverageThreshold keys, enforce only the listed metrics, name the missed threshold #32849: singular line / function keys are still ignored, unknown keys still aren't errors, and a metric that isn't listed still defaults to 0.9. So Bun test code coverage - Not returning exit code 1 when under threshold #7367 is still open.
• Make --preserve-symlinks and --preserve-symlinks-main work in the runtime and bundler #36757: a Worker's entry, a bun test file and a bun build entry point that are themselves links are still resolved to their targets. NODE_PRESERVE_SYMLINKS_MAIN=1 does what it does on 1.4.3, so bun run tool on a node_modules/.bin link with a relative require still works.
• bun run: decide the exit code of a printed error before 'exit' listeners run #38116: an exit listener still can't replace the exit code of a crashed run by assigning process.exitCode.
• run: report tsconfig.json load errors before the entry point runs #41683: tsconfig.json errors aren't printed before an entry point that runs fine.
• bundler: treat a file with no extension as tsx, like the runtime does #41996: bun build ./bin/mycli still copies a file with no extension as an asset unless the "" loader is set.
• cli: make --jsx-side-effects work alone, leave dev/prod to tsconfig and NODE_ENV #41920: which of tsconfig.json, NODE_ENV and the flags picks dev or prod JSX is unchanged.
• run: act on SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP at once in --filter and --parallel/--sequential #41478: nothing changes on POSIX. Forwarding SIGTERM / SIGHUP, waiting for the scripts and dying by the signal are new behavior, and even the wake-up would send a quiet script two SIGINTs on Ctrl+C.
• run --filter/--parallel: set npm_package_* and npm_lifecycle_* per script #38101: npm_lifecycle_script and npm_command are still unset.
• run --filter: forward FORCE_COLOR to scripts when attached to a color TTY #35613: under --parallel / --sequential, FORCE_COLOR isn't set if stderr is redirected, so 2> err.log has no escape codes in it.
• bunx: fix process identity when the Windows fast path runs a bin in-process #40300: npm_execpath, cron and the shell's $0 are unchanged, and nothing changes when the executable is bun.exe.
• init: never write over a package.json that was not loaded #41807, init: report failed scaffold writes, and do not create an entry stub that shadows a module #41741: bun init still exits 0 when a write fails on a full disk, and a package.json that can't be opened is handled as before.
• init: do not set type or private in a package.json that was loaded #44992: type and private are still added when they're missing.
• init: do not add @types/bun or typescript that dependencies or optionalDependencies lists #45836: @types/bun in peerDependencies still gets a devDependencies entry.
• completions: complete files for bun <path> and skip runtime flags before dispatch #36629: zsh's top-level _arguments rewrite isn't here, because we couldn't run zsh. fish still doesn't offer run after bun --cwd src r<TAB>. bash doesn't offer scripts for a bare bun <TAB>, because with a test:unit script bun te<TAB> would stop at bun test without the trailing space.
• pretty_fmt: keep rewriting markup after an escaped {{ #37855: the three templates are fixed, not the markup rewriter, which also sees user text.
• Remove dead code from bun init, bun create, bun_md, bun_install, and the socket and Postgres code #44102: only the bun init and bun create deletions are here, not the socket, Postgres, markdown or AST ones.
• bun run --filter: use original-case basename for workspace dirs #29941: macOS and Windows behave exactly like 1.4.3, gaps included (--filter ./packages/Core still matches nothing there). That makes bun run --filter: resolve literal workspace paths directly #37131 unnecessary, so it isn't in this PR.
• compile: stop .env autoload from reading the cwd and every ancestor directory #39712 (compiled executables list every parent directory at startup) isn't in this PR either. It changes what an in-process Bun.build() in a compiled executable picks up from tsconfig.json, and that needs its own decision.

How did you verify your code works?

What ran, all on Linux x64:

• Each behavior change has a test, almost always in the existing test file for that code. Tests for new behavior fail on main (c1df64b) and pass on this branch. Tests that pin behavior we didn't want to change pass on both.
• 2,588 command lines, collected while reviewing the original PRs, ran on three release builds: 1.4.3, main at the merge base, and this branch (CI's binaries). 1,910 give the same result on all three, and 340 differ between main and this branch. 27 of those exited 0 on 1.4.3 and main and not here. Each is a row in the table above, except [test] root in a parent's bunfig.toml, which was changed back afterwards. We read every difference in the command lines that belong to PRs that aren't part of this one (87), and each is a side effect listed above or chance (test order, ports, pids, timings, the commit hash in a cache path).
• For the 17 PRs applied as they were, 204 help screens (51 commands, --help and -h, colors on and off) were diffed against main. Only the lines listed above differ.
• A fresh bun init is byte for byte what main writes, over 16 command lines (-y, -m, the three --react forms, a folder argument, an empty or {} package.json, a second run, --help): exit code, stdout, stderr and every file.
• .env: the old and the new parser, compiled side by side in a small harness, parsed 350,919 distinct random files. 63,395 differ, and every one of those has a key that refers to itself, or to a later key in the same file whose text contains $. As a control, one changed comparison makes the same check report 21,218 unexplained differences.
• Completions: 210 command lines per shell went through the old and the new scripts, for bash with and without extglob and for fish, plus an interactive bash on a pty.
• The --filter live view, the --watch screen clear, console.clear() and FORCE_COLOR in scripts were checked on a real pty (27 command lines), on 1.4.3 and on this branch.

Existing tests that had to change:

• bun-run-bunfig.test.ts: "NOT autoload local bunfig.toml (sub cwd)" pinned the old rule. It now expects the project's file to load.
• run-autoinstall.test.ts: three tests put a broken bunfig.toml in the project root and ran from app/src. Bun now reads that file at startup, so they run from a directory outside the project.
• filter-workspace.test.ts, watch.test.ts: tests that reached the live view or the screen clear with FORCE_COLOR=1 and a pipe now use Bun.spawn({ terminal }).
• bun-install.test.ts: two expected error texts lost the raw <green> markup.
• isolated-install.test.ts: two tests ignored SIGCHLD to make a lifecycle script impossible to wait for. Bun can wait for it now, so one test expects the package to stay installed, and the workspace variant is gone.
• bun-build-api.test.ts: one test about the "" loader key has a new title and the same body.

Not verified:

• Windows-only and macOS-only code wasn't compiled or run locally: bunx: fix process identity when the Windows fast path runs a bin in-process #40300, run: act on SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP at once in --filter and --parallel/--sequential #41478, the Windows halves of cli: match bunx/node invocation names case-insensitively #36827 and Gate the --filter redraw UI and screen clears on isatty, not on FORCE_COLOR #41983, Walk up for bunfig.toml when running from a subdirectory #29310's owner check on Windows (no test there can create a file owned by a second account), the macOS / Windows branch of bun run --filter: use original-case basename for workspace dirs #29941, and cli: run pipe/FIFO entry points (process substitution) instead of failing on 'pipe:[...]' #35463 on macOS. The exit code 130 in run: act on SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP at once in --filter and --parallel/--sequential #41478's test comes from reading the code. Four pty tests that were skipped on Windows are no longer skipped, because the original PR says they pass under ConPTY.
• spawn: don't reinstall fault-signal handlers after sync-spawn signal forwarding #30776 can't be seen on a debug or ASAN build: the handler reset returns early there, so the new test passes with or without the fix. On release builds, both crash repros end in SIGSEGV on 1.4.3 and main and exit 0 on this branch.
• The --parallel half of bun test --parallel, repl: act on a signal at once, and survive its repeat #45756 has no regression test. Without the fix an unrelated 1 s timer still wakes the loop, so only a clock can tell the two apart (about 680 ms against 35 ms, measured by hand). The REPL half has a test that times out on main.
• zsh wasn't run. Its three changed lines are the ones from completions: complete files for bun <path> and skip runtime flags before dispatch #36629, and the test only runs zsh -n where zsh is installed.
• bun run: do not look for a system shell when --shell=bun runs the script #43231's three tests need unprivileged user namespaces and skip where those are off. Walk up for bunfig.toml when running from a subdirectory #29310's "file owned by another user" test needs root and skips otherwise.
• Three existing tests in parallel.test.ts compare a fixed sleep with how long a worker needs to start. On a loaded machine they fail on a debug build of this branch and of the base commit alike.

Explanation

The PR implements the coding requirements for all active direct issues. [#31877] restricts --if-present lookup to Bun-managed binary paths and adds tests. [#7102] handles process-substitution, pipe, and FIFO entry points. [#36755, #43689] preserve symlink paths for runtime and build resolution, with ESM/CJS and package-resolution tests. [#10333, #20347, #36826, #44062] fix valued global flags, --bun upgrade, case-insensitive bunx names, and --asset help and documentation.

[#37337, #45491, #40298, #42962] cover bounded fd guidance, synchronized macro environment loading, Windows bunx --bun workers, and Windows filtered-run interruption. The PR adds automated tests for these behaviors. The author did not run Windows and macOS validation locally, but the platform-specific source changes and tests are present.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR contains substantial behavior changes that do not implement the listed direct issues. Examples include dotenv expansion and production-mode selection ([#36698, #36030, #45101]), process-wide environment-file disabling ([#45445]), bun init manifest and template behavior ([#41807, #41741, #44992, #45836]), spawn and SIGCHLD handling ([#38022]), unhandled-rejection exit codes ([#38116]), watcher behavior ([#38658]), compiled-executable debugger flags ([#40703]), IPC environment handling ([#41739]), coverage and snapshot failures ([#32849, #39061]), and repeated reporter handling ([#41881]). These changes are implementations and tests, not only support for the directly linked issues.

Resolution

Split unrelated behavior changes into separate pull requests, or link each additional active issue as a direct target and narrow this pull request to the linked implementation, tests, and documentation.

Beyond the inline findings, two behavior changes were checked and ruled out as intended: bun run --shell=bun no longer forwarding NODE_CHANNEL_FD to the script's children (the Bun-shell path returns before the re-add at run_command.rs:441 that only the system-shell path does, and ipc-channel-scrub.test.ts asserts it), and bun run --if-present no longer launching a PATH binary outside node_modules/.bin (if-present.test.ts asserts the new behavior). Both differ from 1.4.3 and the --shell=bun one differs from the system-shell path, so they deserve a human's eye on whether that split is wanted.

Extended reasoning...

The change is a ~5,300-line consolidation of 67 CLI PRs across bunfig loading, bun run, env loading, --filter/workspaces, bun test options and completions, and it adds a parent-directory bunfig.toml search gated on file-ownership checks (unix uid, Windows GetNamedSecurityInfoW/EqualSid), which is a new trust boundary. Seven verified findings are posted inline, including the hard-link ownership bypass on the new config search, so approval is not appropriate. The two items in the body were traced in run_command.rs and env_loader.rs against the base revision and are covered by new tests, so they are design choices rather than defects.

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

Inline comments:
Review comments at @docs/runtime/bunfig.mdx:
- Line 14: Update the ownership sentence in the bunfig.toml search documentation
so it compares the parent file’s owner with the working directory’s owner, and
clarify that Windows also skips symbolic links.
- Line 41: Update the relative-path statement near the bunfig documentation to
limit config-directory resolution to `preload` paths and `[install]` paths;
clarify that with `--config`, preload paths use the working directory, and that
other relative paths use the working directory unless a key specifies otherwise.

Review comments at @src/bun_core/util.rs:
- Around line 4580-4581: When restoring SIGCHLD to SIG_DFL, update the sigaction
flags to clear SA_NOCLDWAIT as well as changing sa_sigaction, so child exit
statuses remain available to later waits.

Review comments at @src/resolver/resolver.rs:
- Line 1647: Update the `preserve_symlinks` handling in the resolver so entry
points inside symlinked directories resolve their parent-directory links even
when `--preserve-symlinks` is set, without changing symlink behavior for imports
or requiring `--preserve-symlinks-main`.

Review comments at @src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs:
- Around line 725-728: Update the `BunObject` path-resolution branch and the
corresponding VM path-selection logic to distinguish the CLI flag from
`NODE_PRESERVE_SYMLINKS_MAIN`; ensure the environment variable does not skip
resolution and the target path is selected, as expected by the main-path tests.

Review comments at @src/runtime/cli/filter_arg.rs:
- Around line 358-371: Update create_envp to remove npm_lifecycle_event from the
cloned environment when name is empty, while preserving the existing behavior of
setting it when name is non-empty.

Review comments at @src/runtime/cli/mod.rs:
- Around line 768-775: Update the `word_after_flags()` branch in the CLI
argument dispatch to set `after_value` based on whether the returned token `it`
is the same token as `first_arg_name`, rather than classifying `first_arg_name`
as a command. Preserve the existing command selection logic so flag values such
as `test` are skipped while `bun -p install` continues through the eval path.

Review comments at @src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs:
- Around line 2731-2735: Update the coverage-threshold error message in the
`pretty_errorln!` call to label the displayed function and line percentages as
required values, and update the matching assertion in the coverage CLI test to
expect the revised wording.

Review comments at @test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts:
- Line 670: Remove the explicit 60_000 timeout argument from the test(...) call
containing this callback, leaving the test to use Bun’s default timeout
behavior.

Review comments at @test/cli/init/init.test.ts:
- Line 93: Remove the explicit 30_000 timeout argument from the test.each call
containing the init test, leaving the test callback and its assertions
unchanged.

Review comments at @test/cli/run/filter-workspace.test.ts:
- Around line 1515-1517: Remove the explicit 30000 per-test timeout from the
test callback in the workspace filter test and rely on Bun’s default timeout. If
needed, shorten the helper’s internal deadlines to fit within that default.

Review comments at @test/cli/run/run-crash-handler.test.ts:
- Line 80: Remove the explicit 60_000 timeout argument from the test near the
debug-binary symbolization comment, leaving the test to use Bun’s default
timeout.

Review comments at @test/cli/test/parallel.test.ts:
- Line 999: Update the two independent process tests for “--parallel exits 1
when a worker cannot update an inline snapshot” and the test beginning at the
other reported location to use test.concurrent, provided neither shares state
with the other; preserve their existing assertions and setup.

Review comments at @test/cli/watch/watch.test.ts:
- Line 423: Remove the explicit 30-second timeout from the test declaration
ending at `}, 30000);` and rely on Bun’s built-in test timeout.

Review comments at @test/js/bun/spawn/ipc-channel-scrub.test.ts:
- Line 36: Move both IPC-channel scrub tests, including “bun exec does not
forward the inherited IPC channel,” into the existing spawn test suite and
remove their separate test file.

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

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

• 🟣 src/bunfig/bunfig.rs — pre-existing (nit): bun run --silent <script> still echoes $ <script> when bunfig.toml has [run] silent = false, while the PR makes the flag win for the sibling [run] shell and [run] bun keys. At src/bunfig/bunfig.rs:916 silent is assigned unconditionally, and for bun run <script> the file is read lazily in run_command.rs:2469 after Arguments.rs:1586 set the flag. Fix: record --silent in CliOverrides and skip the key when it is set, as bunfig.rs:934 and bunfig.rs:950 do for shell and bun, so every [run] key defers to its flag on both the early and the lazy load path.

  Why this was flagged

  A project has bunfig.toml with [run]\nsilent = false (the test at test/cli/install/bun-run-bunfig.test.ts:62-69 writes exactly this form) and the user runs bun run --silent start. Arguments.rs:940 and Arguments.rs:1586-1588 set ctx.debug.silent = true. bun run <script> without --filter does not load bunfig in Arguments::parse (ALWAYS_LOADS_CONFIG is false for RunCommand), so the file is read in exec_with_cfg at src/runtime/cli/run_command.rs:2466-2475, after the flag was applied. src/bunfig/bunfig.rs:914-916 then stores false into ctx.debug.silent, and run_command.rs:2598 reads that value, so Output::command at run_command.rs:367-369 prints $ echo started to stderr. The comment at Arguments.rs:938-939 says the flag is set again so that it overrides run.silent, which only holds for the early-load paths (--filter, --parallel, --workspaces). The base branch behaves the same; this PR adds CliOverrides (src/options_types/context.rs:50-85) and guards [run] shell at bunfig.rs:934 and [run] bun at bunfig.rs:950 but leaves [run] silent ungated.

  Verification: A project bunfig.toml contains [run] silent = false and the user runs bun run --silent <script>. src/bunfig/bunfig.rs:914-916 assigns self.ctx.debug.silent = value; unconditionally. The file is read lazily at src/runtime/cli/run_command.rs:2466-2475, after Arguments.rs:1586-1588 set ctx.debug.silent = true. The base commit has the identical unconditional assignment (base bunfig.rs:833).

The wake from #45756 in this branch (b941e92) is the first revision of that PR. With the wake alone, one Ctrl-C under a parent that forwards the signal kills both receivers. bun run <script> is such a parent: the terminal signals the foreground process group, and bun run signals its child again.

One 0x03 on a controlling pty, release builds (--lto=off, Linux x64), death by SIGINT:

receiver	parent	1.4.3-canary	wake only	#45756 now
bun test --parallel, two workers in a 60 s test	bun run	0 of 3	9 of 50, test-spawned processes left in 3	0 of 50
	node forwarder	0 of 12	16 of 50, left in 10	0 of 50
bun repl in an await	bun run	0 of 3	42 of 50, terminal left raw	0 of 50
	node forwarder	0 of 12	39 of 50	0 of 50

The rates of the "wake only" column move with the machine. A second set two days later, in a fresh container, on the same code merged with main: bun repl 1 of 60 under bun run and 30 of 30 under the node forwarder, bun test --parallel 6 of 30 (test-spawned processes left in 6) and 1 of 30. #45756 on that day: 0 of 50 in all four.

"wake only" is #45756 at e8c31f7. I did not build this branch. At 04b8877 it has the same two statements: abort_handler::uninstall() is the first statement of abort_all (Coordinator.rs), and disable_signals_during_wait sets SIG_DFL after every wait (repl.rs). docs/test/parallel.mdx says that on SIGINT or SIGTERM the coordinator stops what the tests spawned and exits with 130 or 143.

The fix is in #45756 now, as five commits on top of the wake:

• bun test --parallel: signal the worker groups before the abort report is written
• bun test --parallel: keep the signal handler until the exit
• repl: do not change the mode of a terminal the REPL does not own
• repl: keep the SIGINT handler at a raw prompt
• repl: one wait function, and SIGINT gets back the action it had at the start

The second and the fourth each set a rule that needs a yes. The body of #45756 has both under "Two rules that need a maintainer's yes". The commits apply to this branch with one conflict, a doc comment in repl.rs. parallel-signal.test.ts has to come back without the two latency cases that this branch removed.

bun upgrade starts on lines that 1.4.3 refuses. The change comes with the part ported from #39379 and #41511.

Measured at 04b8877, debug build, Linux x64. Each line ran a copy of the executable in a network namespace with no route out. A proxy on loopback logged each request and answered 502. "starts" means that the proxy logged CONNECT github.com:443. With a network this is a normal bun upgrade: it replaces the executable, unless a stable build is already the latest version.

Line	1.4.3	This branch
bun --version upgrade, bun --revision upgrade, and both after --bun	This command updates Bun itself, and does not take package names, exit 1	starts, 4 of 4
bun -p1+1 upgrade, bun -p=1+1 upgrade, bun -ip1+1 upgrade, bun -p upgrade, bun -pe upgrade	the same error	starts, 5 of 5
bun --cwd upgrade dev, bun --filter upgrade dev, bun --env-file upgrade dev, bun --title upgrade dev, bun --conditions upgrade dev, bun --elide-lines upgrade dev, bun --cwd upgrade run dev	the same error	starts, 7 of 7
bun -- --version upgrade --help	the same error	prints Downloading..., then the connection fails
bun --bun upgrade, bun --smol upgrade	the same error (#20347)	starts, as intended
bun --cwd=upgrade dev, bun --filter=upgrade dev	runs the dev script	runs the dev script

The third row is a folder or a workspace package with the name upgrade. bun --filter <pattern> <script> is the line that docs/pm/filter.mdx documents.

Cause, in three parts:

• UpgradeCommand::exec (src/runtime/cli/upgrade_command.rs:510) checks only after_command(argv, b"upgrade"). Nothing reads the flags in front of the word, so --version and --revision pass.
• after_command (src/runtime/cli/mod.rs:1431) ends in unwrap_or_default(). When place_of_command returns None, the result is an empty slice, and the check reads that as "no arguments". place_of_command returns None when upgrade is the value of a flag, and when an eval flag stands before it.
• which() still picks UpgradeCommand for these lines. Its first loop steps over every flag, and a word that spells a command then wins over the word after the value of a flag (src/runtime/cli/mod.rs:769-775).

On 1.4.3 the check starts at argv[2]. With anything in front of it, the word upgrade itself fails the check. That is the bug of #20347, and it was also the only guard that these lines had.

A possible fix, not built: in exec, refuse when place_of_command(b"upgrade") is None, and when --version, -v or --revision is in arguments_before(b"upgrade"). bun --bun upgrade, bun --smol upgrade and BUN_OPTIONS=--smol bun upgrade still upgrade.

For comparison, #41511 with main merged in: rows 1, 2 and 4 start an upgrade there too. In row 3 it runs the dev script for 6 of 7 lines, and --elide-lines upgrade is an invalid number.

Thanks for this one. We've been waiting on the "" loader key since #36904.

On this PR's build, Bun.build({ check: true, loader: { "": "ts" }, tsconfig }) type-checks suffixless scripts in place: relative imports, package.json imports, tsconfig paths, and a <T>x cast that reads as TS, not TSX. It does the same inside a --compiled binary, which lets us give a compiled CLI a built-in checker for its users' scripts. On 1.4.3 the same call silently skips those files.
