Fixes #7928

Problem

  • POSIX permits ? in a file or folder name. Then bun test loads no test (Cannot find module) and bun './some-path?/my.test.js' fails with error: Module not found.
  • A module key is one string: a path, then an optional ?query. Seven places cut it at its first ?, for example src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:3999.

Fix

Background

Downsides

  • Behaviour change: with files e.cjs and e.cjs?f.cjs, require("./e.cjs?f.cjs") loads the second, as in Node. fix(runtime): preserve encoded file URL path delimiters #42469 pins the first.
  • Cost: a first require() with a query runs 361 more instructions (87,453 to 87,814). A cached one: 71 fewer. .text grows 8,960 bytes.
  • Still fails: import(absolutePath) in a proj? folder, as in Node.
Notes

The rule, by who writes the string

String What a ? is
An import or import() with an importer, import.meta.resolve(), Bun.resolveSync() The first ? starts the query, as in Node. A file URL spells a ? in a name as %3F.
require(), require.resolve(), createRequire() Part of a name that exists. If no such name exists, the query starts there.
An entry point, --preload, a test file, Module.runMain(), a worker or fork() file, the path of a file URL, a plugin onResolve answer The same as require().
A data: URL Payload.
Any string on Windows The first ? starts the query, as before.

In a tree with no ? in a name, "a name that exists" is never true. Each row then gives the first ?, which is what main does.

How the answer reaches the readers

  • _resolve has the only rule. Its result is a path and a query.
  • join_module_key makes the key and records the key and its path length in one slot on the VM. _resolve records a key with a ? in a name and no query too.
  • module_key_path_len answers from the slot. On a miss it asks Resolver::query_start_in_path, which reads the resolver's folder cache: a name in the listing of its folder, or a folder that the resolver has read. The second case covers a folder made after its parent was listed.
  • import.meta takes the path length from the module's source URL when the key continues with ? right after it.
  • Bun's own imports of a path use a file URL when the path has a ?: the macro entry, the cron entry, the HTML entry, a bunfig serve plugin. A path with no ? is imported as before.
  • test/internal/source-lints/module-key-query.test.ts counts the lines that name a ? in 18 files that make or read module keys. There are 8 such lines in 5 files now. Main has 7 in 5 files, and each is a cut.

Decisions for a maintainer

  1. For require() and every other path, a name that exists wins over a query. The other choice keeps the query reading and needs a file URL for the file (fix(runtime): preserve encoded file URL path delimiters #42469 pins that for require("./collision.cjs?copy.cjs")).
  2. The key stays one flat string, with the slot and the folder cache behind module_key_path_len. The other choice is a URL-shaped key (%3F in the path). It changes __filename, module.id and the keys of require.cache.
  3. query_start_in_path is a method of bun_resolver::Resolver, because it reads the folder cache.
  4. An absolute path given to import() is a specifier, as in Node. To read it as a path would make import(absolutePath) work in a proj? folder.

Order against the open PRs on the same lines

What still fails in a folder with ?

A tree with no ? in a name: main against this PR

101 ways to load a module print the same on both release builds, except two. The 101 are 69 rows of one script (import(), require(), require.resolve(), import.meta.resolve(), Bun.resolveSync(), Module._findPath(), workers, fork(), JSON and text imports, errors, each with relative, absolute, file URL, %3F, bare, extensionless and data: strings) and 32 command lines (entry, run, --preload, -r, bun test, macros, -e, Module.runMain(), Bun.ModuleGraph, bun build, and 14 with a plugin that answers file?v=1).

  • import("./x.mjs?from=addon.node") loads x.mjs. Main rejects it with "To load Node-API modules, use require() or process.dlopen instead of import.", because it looks for .node at the end of the key.
  • A data: module whose payload has both / and ?: import.meta.url is a broken file:///data: URL on main, and here it spells the ? in it as %3F.

Self-review

The review of the diff raised 18 concerns. Addressed: a plugin answer with a query for an entry point, a preload, a test file and a file URL import. Module.runMain() and a %3F file URL with a query. A folder made after its parent was listed. The query of a bunfig serve plugin. The four imports of a path (now only for a path with ?). The lint. The bun - and -p rows. This body. Not done here, with the reason above: Windows \\?\ keys (#45053) and the query of a file URL (#35601).

History of this PR

The first version skipped a ? that a / follows. It broke a query that starts with /, left we?ird.mjs broken, and kept seven cuts. The review of where the fix should live picked this design.

…ator

The module resolver and loader both split specifiers on the first '?' to
support import query suffixes (e.g. './foo.js?v=1'). On POSIX, '?' is a
legal filename character, so a directory like 'some-path?' would cause
'./some-path?/file.js' to be split into path './some-path' and query
'?/file.js', and the file could never be loaded.

Only split on a '?' that appears in the final path segment (after the
last '/'). A '?' followed by a path separator is part of a directory
name and is kept in the filesystem path.

Status: the rework is pushed. The PR body has the design, the measurements and four decisions for a maintainer.

Repro on main (5866b5f) and on bun 1.4.2, Linux x64:

mkdir -p 'some-path?' && echo 'test("x",()=>{})' > 'some-path?/my.test.js' && bun test
# the test file does not load (0 pass), exit 1

mkdir -p 'so?me' && echo 'console.log("ran")' > 'so?me/main.js' && bun './so?me/main.js'
# error: Module not found

mkdir -p 'app?' app && echo 'console.log("right")' > 'app?/main.js' && echo 'console.log("wrong")' > app/index.js && bun './app?/main.js'
# prints "wrong", exit 0

With this PR the test runs, the second command prints ran, and the third prints right.

Walkthrough

Resolution now distinguishes question marks in filesystem paths from query delimiters. The change carries path-boundary information through loaders, module metadata, and entry-point handling. Regression tests cover path names containing question marks across imports, CLI execution, plugins, cron, macros, and HTML.

Changes

Module paths containing question marks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve paths and track query boundaries
src/resolver/resolver.rs, src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs, src/jsc/JSGlobalObject.rs, src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs, src/jsc/bindings/headers.h
The resolver and VM identify where a query begins in a path, support path-mode resolution, and retain module-key path lengths. Resolution entry points pass filesystem paths separately from module specifiers.
Expose path lengths to loaders
src/bundler/lib.rs, src/bundler/options.rs, src/js/builtins.d.ts, src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs, src/jsc/modules/NodeModuleModule.*, src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp
Loader interfaces and host bindings expose module-key path lengths. The module loader routes filesystem paths through path-mode resolution and checks .node imports against the path portion.
Use path boundaries in module consumers
src/js/builtins/CommonJS.ts, src/js/builtins/BundlerPlugin.ts, src/js/internal/html.ts, src/jsc/bindings/ImportMetaObject.*, src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSModule.cpp
CommonJS addon loading, plugin imports, HTML entries, and import.meta use path boundaries to preserve question marks in paths and retain query suffixes.
Handle question marks in entry paths
src/bundler/entry_points.rs, src/runtime/cli/run_command.rs
Macro imports and cron entry paths containing question marks use file URLs on non-Windows systems.
Test path and query behavior
.github/workflows/source-lints.yml, test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts, test/cli/run/run-eval.test.ts, test/internal/source-lints/*, test/js/bun/cron/cron.test.ts, test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts, test/js/bun/resolve/import-meta.test.js, test/js/bun/resolve/import-query.test.ts
Tests cover question marks in file and directory names, query suffixes, and related loading paths. A source lint tracks selected question-mark handling sites, and the workflow path filters include built-in TypeScript files.

Explanation

Issue #7928 requires bun test to find tests below a POSIX directory whose name contains ?. The implementation moves the path/query decision into _resolve, uses resolver folder listings, and carries the resolved path length to module-key readers. The added regression test creates some-path?/my.test.js and so?me/my.test.js, runs bun test, verifies both tests run, rejects truncated-path output, and requires exit code 0.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes generalize the same module-key path/query fix across readers and entry points that can encounter the #7928 failure mode. The added worker, fork, plugin, preload, macro, cron, HTML, and resolver tests exercise shared resolution behavior. The source-lint and platform guards support the implementation. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Explanation

The description explains the problem, implementation, limitations, trade-offs, and verification results. It does not use the template headings exactly, but it provides the required information and is substantially complete.

  1. resolver: fall back to the literal path when a specifier's ?-stripped prefix does not resolve #36048 - Also fixes ? in filesystem paths causing Module not found by modifying the same normalize_specifier functions in the same three files; uses a fallback-retry approach instead of final-segment-only splitting

Not a duplicate of #36048, though they overlap.

They are complementary. This PR's string check handles the directory case without any filesystem access; #36048's retry handles the filename case that this PR does not. If #36048 lands first, this PR becomes redundant for #7928 but would still eliminate the extra resolver round-trip for the directory case. If this lands first, #36048 shrinks to just the filename case.

Leaving this open for the maintainer to choose (or take both).

- Narrow the heuristic: a '?' is a directory-name byte only when immediately
  followed by '/'. This keeps './foo.js?path=/a/b' splitting at the first '?'
  (unchanged) while still fixing './dir?/file.js'.
- Extract the logic into bun_core::strings::index_of_import_query so all four
  Rust call sites share one implementation.
- Apply the same rule in ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier so
  import.meta.{url,path,dir,file} are correct inside a '?'-named directory.
- Add coverage for '/' in query strings and for import.meta fields.

Additional findings (outside current diff — PR may have been updated during review):

  • 🟡 src/bun_core/string/immutable.rs:1357-1366 — Two more first-? split sites weren't updated: src/js/builtins/CommonJS.ts:65 and :166 still use raw id.indexOf("?") on the resolved absolute module key, so for id = "/abs/dir?/addon.node" (which this PR now makes resolvable) queryIndex lands on the directory ? and id.endsWith(".node", queryIndex) tests "/abs/dir" → false, skipping the $internalRequire dlopen fast-path. Same ?/-skip rule as the five sites already fixed (and the same REVIEW.md "fix the whole class" reasoning that added the ImportMetaObject.cpp change in 2ef1185); the trigger — a native .node addon under a ?-named directory — is exotic enough that this shouldn't block.

    Extended reasoning...

    What the issue is

    This PR now updates five first-? split sites (four Rust callers via the new bun_core::strings::index_of_import_query, plus ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier in C++ after the previous review round). Two more sibling sites with the identical pattern remain in src/js/builtins/CommonJS.ts:

    // line 65 — gate for the native-addon fast path in overridableRequire
    const queryIndex = id.indexOf("?");
    if (queryIndex === -1 ? id.endsWith(".node") : id.endsWith(".node", queryIndex)) {
      return $internalRequire(id, this);
    }
    // line 166 — inside $internalRequire, deriving the on-disk path for dlopen
    const queryIndex = id.indexOf("?");
    const filename = queryIndex === -1 ? id : id.substring(0, queryIndex);
    $assert(filename.endsWith(".node"));
    process.dlopen(module, filename);

    Both operate on id, the resolved absolute module key returned by $resolveSync(originalId, this.filename, false) → Bun__resolveSync → jsc_hooks::resolve. That is exactly the same value shape that flows through the four Rust normalize_specifier_* functions and ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier — a filesystem-absolute path that, after this PR, may legitimately contain ?/ as a directory-name byte.

    Step-by-step proof

    Take a CJS module at /abs/dir?/entry.cjs (loadable after this PR — the new 07928.test.ts "import resolves … under a '?'-named directory" test proves cross-file resolution inside such a directory produces keys of this shape) that does require("./addon.node"):

    1. overridableRequire calls $resolveSync("./addon.node", "/abs/dir?/entry.cjs", false). The specifier ./addon.node has no ?, and PathName::init(source).dir_with_trailing_slash() treats ? as an ordinary path byte, so resolution returns id = "/abs/dir?/addon.node".
    2. Line 65: id.indexOf("?") → index of the ? in dir? (e.g. 8).
    3. Line 66: id.endsWith(".node", queryIndex) — the two-arg form tests whether id.slice(0, queryIndex) = "/abs/dir" ends with ".node" → false.
    4. The $internalRequire dlopen fast-path is skipped; the addon falls through to this.$require(id, mod, …) (the transpiler-based CJS load path).
    5. Line 166 is only reached via line 67's gate, which returned false for this input, so the $assert(filename.endsWith(".node")) / wrong-dlopen-path concern is not independently reachable for the plain dir?/addon.node case. It would matter if line 65 alone is fixed and line 166 is not (e.g. id = "/abs/dir?/addon.node?v=1" after line 65 correctly finds the second ?: line 166's raw indexOf would then compute filename = "/abs/dir" and the debug $assert fires / release dlopen runs on the wrong path). Both sites should be updated together.

    Why this is now reachable

    Before this PR, /abs/dir?/entry.cjs failed to load with "Module not found" (normalize_specifier_for_loader split it into path /abs/dir + query ?/entry.cjs), so overridableRequire was never entered with an id containing ?/. This PR makes the parent module loadable, so the wrong .node classification becomes observable for the first time — the same rationale the previous review round used to require the ImportMetaObject.cpp fix under REVIEW.md's "Fix the whole class in the same PR — Grep for every sibling site sharing the pattern".

    Why nit, not normal

    • The concrete trigger — a native .node addon located inside a directory whose name ends in a literal ? — is essentially theoretical (the #7928 report is about test files, not N-API addons).
    • It is not a regression from previously-working behavior: before this PR the parent directory couldn't be loaded at all.
    • The fallback this.$require path routes through the module loader → normalize_specifier_for_loader, which does use index_of_import_query and keeps /abs/dir?/addon.node intact, so the addon may still load via Loader::Napi (slower path). Even if it doesn't, the failure mode is a load error for an exotic layout, not silent wrong data.
    • None of the new tests exercise require() of a .node file from a ?-named directory, and test/js/bun/resolve/import-query.test.ts only covers ./addon.node?v=1 from a normal directory (where indexOf("?") correctly finds the query ?).

    Suggested fix

    Apply the same ?/-skip rule at both sites, e.g.:

    let queryIndex = id.indexOf("?");
    while (queryIndex !== -1 && id.charCodeAt(queryIndex + 1) === 0x2f /* '/' */) {
      queryIndex = id.indexOf("?", queryIndex + 1);
    }

    (or a small $indexOfImportQuery helper mirroring bun_core::strings::index_of_import_query, since the block appears twice).

  • 🟡 src/bun_core/string/immutable.rs:1351-1366 — The narrowed ?/-skip rule regresses the (exotic) case of a query string that itself begins with /: import "./dep.js?/foo" now returns None from index_of_import_query, so the resolver stat()s dep.js?/foo and fails with "Module not found" where it used to split at the first ?. The two shapes are syntactically indistinguishable so this may be an accepted trade-off, but the doc comment should say so, a test should pin the chosen behavior, and on Windows (where ? is illegal in path names) the skip could be cfg-gated out since it's pure regression there. The mirrored C++ loop in ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier has the same behavior.

    Extended reasoning...

    What changed and what it regresses

    The revised index_of_import_query (immutable.rs:1357-1366) skips any ? immediately followed by /, treating it as a POSIX directory-name byte. This correctly handles ./dir?/file.js (#7928) and correctly leaves ./foo.js?path=/a/b alone (the case the previous review flagged). But it also skips the ? in ./dep.js?/foo — a WHATWG-valid specifier whose query string begins with / — which used to work.

    Step-by-step proof

    For ./dep.js?/foo:

    1. index_of_char_usize(&specifier[0..], b'?') → i = 8.
    2. specifier.get(9) == Some(&b'/') → true, so the loop skips this ? and sets from = 9.
    3. index_of_char_usize(&specifier[9..], b'?') on "/foo" → None; the ? operator returns None from the function.
    4. All four callers (normalize_specifier, both normalize_specifier_for_resolution, normalize_specifier_for_loader) fall through to the no-query arm and pass the full unsplit ./dep.js?/foo to the filesystem resolver.
    5. The resolver stat()s a nonexistent file → Module not found.

    Before this PR, the split was always at the first ?, so path=./dep.js + query=?/foo and the import resolved. The C++ mirror in ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier (ImportMetaObject.cpp:172-175) has the identical while (... specifier[index + 1] == '/') skip and the same regression.

    Why the existing tests don't catch it

    The new "query string containing '/' still splits at the '?'" test exercises ?path=/a/b — a / inside the query, after a non-/ first character — which the heuristic handles (the ? is not immediately followed by /). It does not exercise ?/a/b — a / starting the query. test/js/bun/resolve/import-query.test.ts also has no ?/-starting case.

    Why this is a nit, not a blocker

    The two shapes — ?-in-a-directory-name followed by /, vs. a query string whose first character is / — are syntactically indistinguishable without a filesystem probe (which the author explicitly declined vs. #36048's approach). Any string-only heuristic must pick a side. The affected input class (?/… queries with no key) is not used by any common bundler convention — Vite/webpack/Rollup queries are ?raw, ?url, ?worker, ?v=hash, ?key=value. The author's response to the earlier review ("no regression surface for ?key=value queries") is accurate for the shapes people actually write; this is the residual edge that trade-off leaves behind, and it's a reasonable one.

    Suggested polish

    • Document the caveat in the index_of_import_query doc comment: note that a query string beginning with / (e.g. ?/foo) will be treated as a path byte and not split — the ambiguity is inherent.
    • Pin the chosen behavior with a test (either direction — asserting that import("./dep.js?/foo") fails, or that it resolves if you decide to keep the old behavior for that shape) so a future edit doesn't silently flip it.
    • Gate the skip on !cfg!(windows) (and the equivalent #if !OS(WINDOWS) around the C++ while loop): Windows filenames cannot contain ?, so on Windows a ?/ sequence is always a query separator and skipping it is pure regression with zero benefit. This costs nothing and removes the trade-off entirely on that platform.

- CommonJS.ts overridableRequire/internalRequire: skip '?/' when locating the
  query suffix so require('./addon.node') under a '?'-named directory reaches
  process.dlopen with the full path.

Round-2 review addressed in 795a109:

  • CommonJS.ts .node gate: both indexOf("?") sites now skip ?/ so require("./addon.node") under a ?-named directory reaches process.dlopen with the full path. Covered by the new .node test.
  • Windows gating: index_of_import_query short-circuits to index_of_char on cfg!(windows), and the C++ skip loop is under #if !OS(WINDOWS), so the ?/ trade-off does not apply there.
  • ?/foo trade-off: pinned with a test that asserts the POSIX behavior (not split) and the Windows behavior (split). Documenting it in the Rust doc comment would re-trip comment-cop, so the test is the documentation.

All three of my prior review rounds are addressed; nothing new found this pass. Deferring to a maintainer for the design call — this changes specifier splitting on the resolver/loader hot path with an acknowledged POSIX ?/ trade-off, and overlaps with #36048's alternative approach.

Checked this round: the seven split sites (4 Rust, C++ createFromSpecifier, 2 CommonJS.ts) all apply the same ?/-skip rule, Windows-gated consistently; ?path=/a/b still splits at the first ?; import.meta.{url,path,dir,file} assertions are exact; the .node and ?/-trade-off tests now positively assert the path shape.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes #7928 by changing how the module resolver/loader locates the query-string ? in a specifier: instead of splitting on the first ?, it skips any ? immediately followed by / (a POSIX directory-name byte). A shared helper bun_core::strings::index_of_import_query is called from four Rust normalizers (options.rs, VirtualMachine.rs, two in jsc_hooks.rs); the same rule is applied in C++ (ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier) and in the two CommonJS.ts .node-addon gates. Windows short-circuits to the original first-? behavior since ? is not a legal path byte there. Seven regression tests cover bun test, bun <file>, cross-file import + exact import.meta values, ?v=1 combined with a ?-named parent, /-in-query non-regression, .node require, and the pinned ?/ trade-off on both platforms.

Security risks

None identified. The change is a string-scan heuristic with no new syscalls, no untrusted-length arithmetic, and no new user-controlled paths reaching the filesystem that didn't before. The ?/ skip narrows what is treated as a query, which if anything reduces the surface for query-based loader tricks.

Level of scrutiny

High. normalize_specifier_for_resolution / _for_loader sit on the hot path of every import/require, and ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier runs for every ESM module. The change is small and well-tested, but it deliberately alters behavior for one input class (import("./x?/y") on POSIX no longer splits), and there is a competing open PR (#36048) that solves the same and adjacent cases via a filesystem-retry design. Which approach to land — or both — is a maintainer decision, not a mechanical one.

Other factors

I've reviewed this PR three times previously; each round's findings (missing ImportMetaObject sibling, /-in-query regression, helper extraction, missing CommonJS.ts sites, test.concurrent, trade-off pinning, positive error assertions) were addressed in subsequent commits, and all threads are resolved. The bug-hunting system found nothing this run. Existing import-query.test.ts and import-meta.test.js are stated to still pass. CI (#86798) is building the latest commit; the PR description notes local verification but defers platform-specific coverage to CI. Given the resolver-critical scope, the acknowledged trade-off, and the overlap with #36048, I'm not shadow-approving.

All three review rounds are addressed; I have no further code-level findings. Deferring to a maintainer on the design choice: the ?/-skip heuristic changes resolver semantics on POSIX (the pinned ./dep.js?/x trade-off), and #36048 takes a competing stat-retry approach — a human should pick which lands. CI on 3e2d29e is also currently red.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Adds bun_core::strings::index_of_import_query (skips ?/ on POSIX, first-? on Windows) and routes seven sibling split sites through it: four Rust normalizers (options.rs, VirtualMachine.rs, two in jsc_hooks.rs), ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier (C++, #if !OS(WINDOWS)), and both .node-gate indexOf('?') sites in CommonJS.ts. Ships a 7-test regression file under describe.concurrent.

Security risks

None identified. The change narrows where a ? is treated as a query separator; it does not introduce filesystem probes, does not touch auth/crypto, and the ?/ rule cannot cause a path to resolve outside where the unsplit specifier already points.

Level of scrutiny

High — this alters module-resolution semantics on a hot path across three languages, with a documented behavior trade-off (?/… queries no longer split on POSIX) and a competing open PR (#36048) solving the same class differently. That is a maintainer-level design call, not a mechanical fix.

Other factors

  • Three prior review rounds from me were all addressed (shared helper, C++ + CommonJS.ts siblings, Windows gating, test.concurrent, positive error-path assertions).
  • The bug-hunting system found nothing new on the current revision.
  • The robobun status comment reports failures on Build #86798 for commit 3e2d29e; a ci: retrigger commit followed, so a maintainer should confirm green before merge.
  • The PR body and the ?/x test explicitly document the trade-off, which is the right shape for a maintainer to evaluate.

A related case for whichever of these lands second: the bun -e / stdin entry in a cwd with ? in its name.

On main, in /tmp/evq/what?, bun -e 'console.log(require("node:path").basename(__dirname))' prints nothing and exits with 0, and bun -p 'require("node:path").sep' prints [Function]. The cause is the [eval] branch of get_loader_and_virtual_source (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs): the entry key <cwd>/[eval] is cut at the first ?, the transpiler does not see the entry as the main module, and the CommonJS wrapper stays.

#45048 gives that entry its whole key as its path, for every position of the ? (what? and wh?at). The ?/ rule of this PR covers the what? form of it through normalize_specifier_for_loader. The two changes touch different lines.

The tests of #45048 pin the failure of today for an import from such a cwd (ENOENT reading "<root>/what"). When this PR lands after it, the what? rows of test/cli/run/run-eval.test.ts and of test/js/bun/resolve/import-query.test.ts (from #41929) need the new outcome: the file loads.

…after it or not

A plugin answer, a name with no importer and the path of a file URL keep a query
when no file or folder has that name, as before. The loader reads what the resolve
decided for a key with a '?' in a name, and a folder that the resolver read counts
as a name. The macro, cron, HTML and bunfig plugin imports change only for a path
with '?'. A source lint counts the lines that look for a '?' in a module key.
… '?' inline

A first load of a module and a resolve with no '?' run no more instructions than on main.
A relative path needs no join for it: a miss there ends in the cache bust that _resolve
already does.

Move the SAFETY comment onto the unsafe block. The clippy job fails without it.

The pipeline reports that the unsafe block at Line 2576 has no safety comment. The current SAFETY comment sits above the Some(found) => match arm. Clippy does not count it for the unsafe expression inside that arm, so bun run rust:clippy fails.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked: the new module_key_path_len(key) loader hook in src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs for the &mut VirtualMachine aliasing the comment above that table warns about — it is reached from the loader's specifier normalization, not from inside the re-entrant read_dir_info path, so it does not overlap the live &mut Resolver; and moduleLoaderResolve in ZigGlobalObject.cpp now routing referrer-less keys (preloads, Module.runMain(), worker/fork entries) through resolvePath — that is the behavior the PR's rule table states, not an accidental regression.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites how a module key's path/query boundary is decided across the Rust resolver, VirtualMachine, C++ JSC bindings and JS builtins, replacing seven first-? cuts with one per-VM oracle; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface but is a cross-layer loader change with a single-slot decision cache. Four verified findings are posted inline, more verified ones were cut by the cap, and the hunt stopped on a bug bound rather than running dry, so this is not approvable; the note records what was additionally examined and ruled out on this rewritten version.

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

🔴 An ES module with two or more imports can load the wrong file when the first ? of an import names an existing entry, which the base never did. The decision slot holds one key, so resolving the second import evicts the first; the loader's fallback at src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5154-5157 then asks query_start_in_path, which applies the require() rule (longest existing name) instead of the ESM rule (first ? is the query) the resolve used. Fix: the loader must read back the decision _resolve made for that key, whatever was resolved in between: for example keep a map keyed by module key (or store path_len with the resolved key) rather than one slot, so the fallback is never consulted for a key an ESM resolve already decided. [also at: src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5156 - A static ES import whose ? suffix also names an existing directory or file loads that file instead of the module the resolver chose, once another ? resolve ran.; src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5158 - Users with a file literally named like an ESM name?query import can get a different module depending on which sibling import was resolved last.]

Why this was flagged

Files a.mjs and a.mjs?/b.mjs and x.mjs exist beside entry.mjs, whose source is import a from "./a.mjs?/b.mjs"; import x from "./x.mjs?v=1";. JSC's module loader resolves every dependency of a record before any .then fetches one. The first resolve is ResolveMode::Esm, so src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5272 skips query_start_in_path and the key becomes /abs/a.mjs?/b.mjs with path /abs/a.mjs; join_module_key writes module_key_query. The second resolve overwrites module_key_query with /abs/x.mjs?v=1 (src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5111). Fetching the first key runs module_key_path_len_from: eql_utf8 misses at :5130, so :5154-5157 calls query_start_in_path, which finds folder a.mjs? and returns None -> unwrap_or(key.len()). The loader reads the file /abs/a.mjs?/b.mjs. On base, the loader split at the first ? and read a.mjs; the PR's own test at test/js/bun/resolve/import-query.test.ts:489 pins a.mjs with ?/b.mjs for the single-import case. The slot is the only safeguard and it is one entry deep.

Verification: Triggered when an ES module has two or more imports carrying ?, and a directory entry a.mjs? exists beside a.mjs. The second resolve overwrites the single self.module_key_query slot (src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5112-5115); the comparison at 5130 misses, so 5154-5157 runs query_start_in_path and the loader reads /abs/a.mjs?/b.mjs. Base always cut the key at the first ? and loaded a.mjs.

🟡 nit (optional): a failure of the file-URL resolve in resolveEntry is swallowed by an empty catch {} (src/js/internal/html.ts:16), so an operator whose bun ./page?/index.html fails for a reason other than not-found sees only the error of the later plain-string retry, not the first one. REVIEW.md names catch {} as never acceptable. Fix: keep the fallback chain but only swallow the not-found case, for example catch the error and rethrow when it is not a ResolveMessage, or drop the file-URL attempt and let the plain Bun.resolveSync path report once.

Why this was flagged

bun ./index.html in a folder whose name has a ? enters resolveEntry at src/js/internal/html.ts:12 with file.includes("?") true. Line 14 calls Bun.resolveSync with a file URL and line 16 discards any error with catch {}. When that call throws for a reason other than not-found (an onResolve plugin in bunfig throwing, a too-long path), execution continues to line 18 and 20, and the operator gets whichever error the plain-string retry produces, or a second module that resolves differently, instead of the first failure. On the base branch there is no file-URL attempt, so the first failure is the one reported. This is a REVIEW.md rule (never catch {}), reported as a nit because the retry usually re-raises an equivalent error.

Verification: nit. Trigger: an .html entry whose path contains ? while an onResolve plugin throws for the file-URL specifier. src/js/internal/html.ts:15-17 wraps Bun.resolveSync in catch {}; Bun.resolveSync is not not-found-only (BunObject.rs:1143-1147), so the plugin's error is discarded, line 20 retries the plain string and the operator sees that error instead. REVIEW.md lists catch {} under "Never swallow a failure".

🟡 nit (optional): the new ratchet lint misses a reader this PR adds. src/js/internal/html.ts now has two lines that look for "?" in a module key (resolveEntry and keySpecifier, src/js/internal/html.ts:14 and :27), but it is not in FILES, and the workflow filter added in .github/workflows/source-lints.yml:21 covers only src/js/builtins/*.ts, so edits to html.ts never run the lint. Fix: list every file the PR teaches to read a key, adding src/js/internal/html.ts to FILES and the inventory (count 2) and src/js/internal/*.ts to both workflow path filters.

Why this was flagged

The test header says it is a ratchet over the files that make or read module keys. This PR adds keySpecifier in src/js/internal/html.ts:26-30 which reads a key with key.lastIndexOf("?", pathLength - 1), and resolveEntry at :13-24 with file.includes("?"), yet FILES (test/internal/source-lints/module-key-query.test.ts:22-40) omits html.ts, so a future first-? cut added there is not counted. The workflow trigger added at .github/workflows/source-lints.yml:21 and :46 is src/js/builtins/*.ts, which does not match src/js/internal/html.ts. On the base branch neither file existed in the lint, so this is a gap in the PR's own safeguard rather than a runtime failure.

Verification: nit. Trigger: a later edit to src/js/internal/html.ts that adds a first-? cut on a module key. test/internal/source-lints/module-key-query.test.ts:22-41 lists 18 files in FILES and src/js/internal/html.ts is not among them, while the PR itself adds two lines in that file that match the lint's QUESTION_MARK regex (src/js/internal/html.ts:14 and :29). Nothing breaks at runtime.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: Users calling require.resolve("./dir?/x", { paths: [...] }) with a ?-named folder under one of the custom paths still get Cannot find module, although the PR claims the require() family now treats such a ? as part of a name. At src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5276-5279 query_start_in_path is given source_to_use, the importer's directory, so it only ever lists that folder; the custom_dir_paths set by bun_resolve_sync_with_paths (src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs:1260) are read only by resolve_and_auto_install. The ? is cut as a query, ./dir is looked up in the custom paths, and the resolve fails. Fix: have query_start_in_path consult every directory the resolver will search for a relative specifier, so the path/query decision and the resolution use the same folder set.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

Trigger: require.resolve(id, { paths }) from user code, which reaches bun_resolve_sync_with_paths (src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs:1220) and stores custom_dir_paths at BunObject.rs:1260 before _resolve. In _resolve the only directory passed to query_start_in_path is source_to_use (src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5279), derived from the importer at VirtualMachine.rs:5242-5259; the custom paths are consulted only later inside resolve_and_auto_install (VirtualMachine.rs:5297). For ./proj?/x.js where proj? exists only under a custom path, the listing of the importer's folder has no such name, so the ? becomes the query and ./proj is resolved against the custom paths and misses. The base branch failed identically, so this is a hole in the fix rather than a regression, but it contradicts the PR's rule table (require.resolve() row) and the one source of truth goal: the decision and the resolution disagree about which folders count.

Verification: The base cut every ? at the first one, so this call already failed there. In _resolve, the only directory handed to the oracle is the importer's dir: self.transpiler.resolver.query_start_in_path(source_to_use, specifier, first) (src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5276-5279). Only afterward does resolve_and_auto_install consult custom_dir_paths (resolver.rs:1894-1912).
