The changed files support issue
#864. The WebKit pin supplies the engine fix. The stress, URLPattern, structured-clone, bundler, lint, and CLI tests cover the affected RegExp paths and Bun integrations. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Explanation
The description is complete and well-structured. It has the required sections 'What does this PR do?' (covered by Problem, Fix, Background, and Downsides) and 'How did you verify your code works?' (covered by the Verified line, the Tests section in the notes, and the debug-build runs with pass/fail counts). It explains the root cause, the engine fix (oven-sh/WebKit#864), the pin change, the new tests, the behaviour change, and the cost. The bot evidence block flags that test/bundler/bundler_plugin.test.ts could not run locally and defers to CI, which is a minor gap. Note that the description's '12 new tests in six files' framing does not fully align with the objectives' list of six failing tests, but the description itself is internally consistent.

Yes. The first line of the PR description says the same. The pin moves to the merge commit of oven-sh/WebKit#864 when that PR lands, and this PR must not merge before that. This thread stays open until then.

@robobun Understood. This thread stays open until oven-sh/WebKit#864 lands and WEBKIT_VERSION points to its immutable merged commit. This PR must not merge before both conditions are met.

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.

🔴 If merged with this pin, every prebuilt-WebKit build (CI and bun bd) fails with a 404 as soon as oven-sh/WebKit#864 merges or closes. scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:6 pins WEBKIT_VERSION to the preview tag "autobuild-preview-pr-864-cfa7f07f", and scripts/build/download.ts:320 documents that GitHub deletes that release when the PR merges or closes. Fix: before merge, replace the pin with the merged main commit's 40-hex sha (an autobuild-<sha> release that stays published), as the PR description says it will; nothing in the repo blocks a preview tag from landing on main. The description calls this intended, but no lint or CI check enforces it.
Why this was flagged
Trigger: this PR lands with scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:6 still reading "autobuild-preview-pr-864-cfa7f07f", and then oven-sh/WebKit#864 merges or closes. prebuiltUrl at scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:81-82 builds https://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/releases/download/autobuild-preview-pr-864-cfa7f07f/.tar.gz. scripts/build/download.ts:319-322 states the preview release is deleted at that point, so the fetch 404s and prebuiltDownloadError at download.ts:328-337 raises "WebKit preview release is gone". Every CI lane and every local bun bd on main stops building until someone re-pins; on the base branch the pin is the 40-hex sha d0b16ad0ce2bac652f0f63cdcc642a7d3ba69631, whose release stays up. test/internal/source-lints/webkit-prebuilt-url.test.ts:126-127 accepts any autobuild-* tag, so no automated check rejects the preview pin on main; the only safeguard is the PR text's promise to move the pin before merge.
Verification: The PR description says the pin moves to the merged commit, which is a plan, not something the code as it stands enforces. Trigger: the branch merges with scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:6 still reading the preview tag and oven-sh/WebKit#864 then merges or closes. scripts/build/download.ts:319-322 states that release is deleted at that point, so every prebuilt-mode build 404s.

…s, the pattern is valid The jsc-stress fixture is JSTests/stress/regexp-required-input-beyond-string-length.js of oven-sh/WebKit#864 without its run directives. The URLPattern and structuredClone cases are places where Bun passed the RegExp's SyntaxError on. The bun test -t, Bun.build plugin filter and bun lint id-match cases are places where Bun compiles a pattern with Yarr itself, with no RegExp object.
autobuild-preview-pr-864-c9cdf235: a RegExp path that needs more input than a string can hold fails its match, and the pattern stays valid.

Beyond the inline nit, I checked the three new tests for Bun's own Yarr entry points (bun test -t in test-filter-lifecycle-snapshot.test.ts, the onLoad filter cases in bundler_plugin.test.ts, and the id-match cases in test/cli/lint/oracle/robustness/cases.ts): each matches the existing harness shape (loadFixture/foo.magic, the reports count form, and test.concurrent.each draining stdout/stderr/exited together), so they do cover the sibling paths through RegularExpression.cpp and JSBundlerPlugin.h that were missing before.
Extended reasoning...
The two new commits add the bundler, lint and -t tests that were requested earlier and switch the -t cases to test.concurrent.each with Promise.all; the only non-test change remains the WEBKIT_VERSION pin in scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts, which still points at the preview tag autobuild-preview-pr-864-c9cdf235 and so cannot land as-is, as the PR itself states. No security-sensitive surface is touched; the change is a WebKit bump plus tests.
