Problem

  • bun run signalled during its spawn dies from SIGABRT, not from the script's signal: the Expected: "SIGINT", Received: "SIGABRT" failure of test/cli/run/run_command.test.ts on main (7 builds, listed in Notes). The forwarder in src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp left the signal blocked, so the re-raise (src/bun_core/Global.rs:789) fell through to abort().
  • bun keeps the signal mask it inherits, and posix_spawn_bun (src/jsc/bindings/bun-spawn.cpp) execs children with it. Under env --block-signal=TERM, process.kill(process.pid, "SIGTERM") does nothing. Node and libuv clear the mask. No user report.
  • The forwarding handler can run on any thread. If the spawning thread stored the pid and drained the slot between the handler's read of the pid and its store of the signal, the signal was lost.

Fix

  • The forwarder is a plain kill(pid, sig). The target is the child or the group it leads. Bun is in neither.
  • main (src/runtime/bin_entry/mod.rs) clears the mask before any thread exists. posix_spawn_bun execs the child with an empty mask.
  • The pid and the pending slot are atomics. The handler re-reads the pid after it stores the signal. Both sides take the signal out with exchange(0).
  • Verified: test/cli/run/inherited-signal-mask.test.ts, 0 pass, 6 fail on a debug build of the base, 6 pass with the fix. Also the run_command, ctrl-c, no-orphans and spawn* suites.

Background

  • A blocked signal stays pending. fork and execve keep the mask, so it leaks from a launcher into bun and into bun's children.
  • bun run learns the script's pid once the spawn returns. A signal that arrives before that is stored and sent afterwards by Bun__sendPendingSignalIfNecessary.
  • Considered keeping the mask dance with SIG_SETMASK: it guards nothing, so it is gone. Considered a /proc spin for the test: Linux only, and a busy loop no test timeout can stop.

Downsides

  • A child that relied on inheriting bun's blocked signals no longer does. Node and libuv already behave this way.
  • Each sync spawn pays two SeqCst stores instead of Relaxed ones, next to a vfork and an execve.
  • The early-signal test misses the window about once in ten on a release build, so it makes three attempts. The fixed build passed 50 of 50 runs.
Notes
  • run_command.test.ts SIGABRT builds: 124378, 124477, 124545, 124556, 124759, 125044, 125184.
  • The reviews asked for the thread race fix, a spin deadline a slow lane survives, a PTY spawn for the macOS fork() path of posix_spawn_bun, and a reason for one test file. The spin is gone with the /proc test. The PTY spawn is in CHILDREN_KILLED_FIXTURE. One file: the launcher tests, the bun:ffi test and the flood test share the compiled launcher and one fixture.
  • cli: exit 128 + signo when bun cannot die from a re-raised signal (bun as container PID 1) #38877 unblocks the signal before the re-raise as a backstop for bun as PID 1. This PR removes the one place bun left a signal blocked, so they do not overlap. The flood test here depends on the re-raise path: land this first, or re-check it after cli: exit 128 + signo when bun cannot die from a re-raised signal (bun as container PID 1) #38877.
  • fix(terminal): preserve per-thread spawn signal masks #44591 changes the same lines of bun-spawn.cpp (per-thread pthread_sigmask in the parent). Its child-side symptom (a terminal child that ignores Ctrl-C after inheriting an all-blocked mask) is what the empty child mask fixes for every spawn. Reset an inherited ignored SIGCHLD at startup on Linux #44990 adds a SIGCHLD reset at the same point of main. Both need a rebase once this lands.
  • Branch farm/5e6c842c/bun-run-sigint-mask-leak (no PR) had the SIG_SETMASK form of the forwarder fix and the flood reproduction. This PR supersedes it.
  • Memory order: the spawning thread does store(pid, SeqCst) then exchange(0) on the slot. The handler does store(sig) then load(pid). In the seq_cst total order at least one side sees the other's store. If both do, the two exchange(0) calls let only one forward.
  • extern "C" std::atomic<int64_t> and Rust AtomicI64 have the same size and alignment on every 64-bit target bun builds. Bun__defaultRemainingRunsUntilSkipReleaseAccess (BunJSCEventLoop.cpp, VirtualMachine.rs) already pairs std::atomic<int32_t> with AtomicI32.
  • A debug build stalls about 1 spawn in 200 for 1 to 5 s. Measured with 240 cc spawns each on the base build (max 1642 ms) and on this branch (max 5463 ms). It shows as a beforeAll timeout in a test that compiles a fixture, and as the known spawn.test.ts timeout. Not caused by this change.
  • Flood reproduction: sh -c 'trap "" INT; echo ready; read _; exec bun run --shell=system go' with go: "kill -INT $$", and while kill -INT $pid; do :; done started after ready. Release: 26 SIGABRT, 4 SIGINT in 30 runs. Fixed debug build: 20 SIGINT in 20. A miss happens when no SIGINT lands inside the spawn, so three attempts make an unfixed pass about 0.2% likely.
  • Earlier reproduction (release, Linux): with env --block-signal=TERM, bun's SigBlk is ...4000, spawnSync of kill -TERM $$ exits 0, process.kill(process.pid, "SIGTERM") prints still alive, and bun run start ignores SIGTERM. Node passes each line. Signalling bun run the instant its child appeared in /proc/<bun>/task/<bun>/children gave SIGABRT 195 times out of 200.

Walkthrough

Unix startup and spawned children now use empty blocked-signal masks. Synchronous-spawn signal forwarding uses atomic PID and pending-signal state with SeqCst PID publication. POSIX CLI tests cover signal masks, child behavior, and signals received before PID publication.

Changes

Signal handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Clear inherited and child signal masks
src/runtime/bin_entry/mod.rs, src/jsc/bindings/bun-spawn.cpp, test/cli/run/inherited-signal-mask.test.ts
Unix startup clears the blocked-signal mask, and spawned children exec with an empty mask. Tests cover inherited and internally blocked masks, child-process behavior, and signal outcomes.
Coordinate signal forwarding with PID publication
src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp, src/spawn/process.rs, src/spawn_sys/lib.rs, test/cli/run/inherited-signal-mask.test.ts
The synchronous child PID and pending signal use atomic state. PID publication and reset use SeqCst ordering. The forwarding logic and tests cover signals received before the child PID is published.

Reproduced: bun run signalled during its spawn dies from SIGABRT (the run_command.test.ts SIGABRT failures on main), and bun keeps a blocked signal it inherits (env --block-signal=TERM). Fix in this PR, rebased onto main at 786acba470; test/cli/run/inherited-signal-mask.test.ts is 0 pass, 6 fail on the base and 6 pass with the fix.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs — the mask clear in main and the empty childmask in posix_spawn_bun both look correct and match Node/libuv. Because it changes process-wide startup behavior and the vfork child path in bun-spawn.cpp, a human look would still be worthwhile.

Checked: bun_core::ffi::zeroed::<libc::sigset_t>() compiles (Zeroable is impl'd for sigset_t); childmask is now initialized in the parent before vfork and only read in the child, so the vfork shared-memory semantics are unchanged; the child still runs setup with everything blocked and only unblocks immediately before execve. Test uses existing libcPathForDlopen/tempDir harness helpers, skips when no cc, and polls for the ready line before signalling bun run.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two production changes plus a new test file. src/bun_bin/lib.rs adds a pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, empty, null) call in main right after the existing SIGPIPE/SIGXFSZ ignores, so bun starts with an empty blocked-signal mask regardless of what the launcher had blocked. src/jsc/bindings/bun-spawn.cpp moves childmask from a local inside the vfork-child lambda (initialized to oldmask, i.e. the spawning thread's mask) to a function-scope variable initialized with sigemptyset before vfork, so children exec with nothing blocked. Both match what Node's PlatformInit and libuv's uv_spawn do.

Security risks

None identified. Clearing the signal mask does not weaken any protection — a blocked signal is not a security boundary, and the change makes signals deliverable rather than hiding them. Dispositions (SIG_IGN) are untouched. The vfork child still runs its privileged setup (setuid/setgid/chdir/dup2) with all signals blocked; only the mask installed immediately before execve changes.

Level of scrutiny

High. Both touched sites are on critical paths: main is the process entry point, and posix_spawn_bun is the vfork/clone3 spawn path used for every child on Linux/FreeBSD (and PTY/uid/gid spawns on macOS). vfork-child code is extremely delicate. The change itself is small and mechanically simple, but it is an unconditional process-wide behavioral change, and the argument that no caller ever legitimately wants an inherited blocked mask — while I find it convincing and it matches Node — is a policy call a maintainer should sign off on.

Other factors

The PR description is unusually thorough: it traces every other place bun starts a new image (libc posix_spawn on macOS, process.execve, --watch reload) and shows they already use an empty mask, so this brings posix_spawn_bun into line rather than introducing a new policy. I verified libc::sigset_t has an unsafe impl Zeroable in bun_core so ffi::zeroed() compiles, and that libcPathForDlopen, isPosix, and isAndroid exist in test/harness.ts. The new test compiles a C launcher (skips when no cc), covers Bun.spawn/spawnSync/child_process/Bun.$/bun run, reads /proc/self/status on Linux to assert SigBlk: 0, and has a separate FFI-based test that isolates the bun-spawn.cpp change from the startup change. The bun run test awaits the script's ready line before sending SIGTERM and sets killSignal: SIGKILL for cleanup on failure. No prior human reviews on the timeline.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes process-wide signal-mask behavior in main(), the vfork child path in posix_spawn_bun, and the bun run signal-forwarding helper — all of which run for every bun process / every spawned child — a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Verified bun_core::ffi::zeroed::<libc::sigset_t>() compiles on all unix targets (Darwin's u32 typedef is covered by the primitive Zeroable blanket, Linux/FreeBSD have explicit impls).
  • Confirmed childmask is initialized before vfork/fork and read by reference in startChild, so both the Linux vfork and Darwin fork paths see the empty set; parent still restores oldmask.
  • Traced the old SIG_UNBLOCK restore_mask bug: restore_mask was overwritten by the out-param, so from the pending-signal path sig stayed blocked and other blocked signals (e.g. SIGCHLD) were spuriously unblocked; SIG_SETMASK previous_mask fixes both.
  • Checked the tests await observable conditions (stdout "ready", /proc/.../children) rather than sleeps, drain both pipes concurrently, and use killSignal: SIGKILL for cleanup.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR makes three coordinated changes to signal-mask handling, plus a comprehensive test file:

  • src/bun_bin/lib.rs: adds pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, empty, null) in main() right after the SIGPIPE/SIGXFSZ ignores, before any thread is created, so bun and every thread it starts have an empty blocked-signal mask regardless of what the launcher inherited.
  • src/jsc/bindings/bun-spawn.cpp: posix_spawn_bun now execs the child with an empty mask (sigemptyset(&childmask)) instead of the spawning thread's saved mask (childmask = oldmask). The child still runs its pre-exec setup with everything blocked; only the mask installed just before execve changes.
  • src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp: Bun__forwardSignalFromParentToChildAndRestorePreviousAction now restores the saved mask with SIG_SETMASK instead of SIG_UNBLOCKing it. The old code overwrote its "restore" set with the out-param from pthread_sigmask, so from the pending-signal path (where sig was not previously blocked) it left sig blocked forever, and from the handler path it unblocked every other signal the caller had blocked.
  • test/cli/run/inherited-signal-mask.test.ts: six tests covering all three fixes via a compiled C launcher, bun:ffi, /proc/self/status, and a /proc/.../children race.

Security risks

None identified. Clearing the signal mask does not change dispositions (SIG_IGN is left alone) and matches Node/libuv, so it doesn't open a new avenue for signals that were previously suppressed by design — a blocked mask is a launcher leak, not an intentional opt-out. The vfork-child change touches memory-safety-critical code but is a one-line initializer move (childmask is now a stack local at function scope, filled by sigemptyset before vfork, read by reference in the child).

Level of scrutiny

High. This runs on every bun invocation (main), every spawn on Linux/FreeBSD and PTY/uid/gid spawns on macOS (posix_spawn_bun), and every bun run/bunx/bun create/bun upgrade/lifecycle-script signal forward. It also encodes a policy decision — unconditionally clear the inherited mask — that a maintainer should sign off on even though it matches Node. The change is small in line count but cross-cutting in effect.

Other factors

  • The comment-cop bot flagged long comments in earlier commits; those were shortened/removed in aab8b08 and 424c23c and the threads are resolved.
  • The test file is thorough: it covers Bun.spawn, Bun.spawnSync, child_process.spawnSync, Bun.$, bun run, the /proc mask directly, and the pending-signal race. Tests await real conditions, drain pipes concurrently, and skip cleanly when the C compiler or /proc/.../children is unavailable.
  • The PR description documents that the existing spawn/signal test suites pass on the debug build and cargo check passes for the Darwin target.

This forwarding-helper bug now breaks CI on main. #39729 (merged 2026-08-24) added Ctrl+C tests to test/cli/run/run_command.test.ts. The --shell=system case "a script killed by Ctrl+C stops bun run" fails on unrelated PRs with bun run dying of SIGABRT instead of SIGINT (build 104889, Debian 13 aarch64; 104829 and 104813 are other failures of the same tests). The script raises SIGINT at its process group while bun run is still in the spawn window, so the signal takes the Bun__sendPendingSignalIfNecessary path and stays blocked. I confirmed the mechanism with gdb on the released binary: SigBlk goes from 0 to 0x2 after Bun__sendPendingSignalIfNecessary, the final raise(SIGINT) returns, and bun run falls through to abort().

The SIG_SETMASK change in this PR is the fix for that failure. Two notes from my run at it (branch farm/5e6c842c/bun-run-sigint-mask-leak, no PR, this one owns the fix):

  • A deterministic reproduction without /proc: start bun run --shell=system go through sh -c 'trap "" INT; exec "$0" "$@"' so SIGINT is ignored until the forwarding handler is installed, and flood it with sh -c 'while kill -INT $1 2>/dev/null; do :; done' for its whole life. With go: "kill -INT $$" the released build dies of SIGABRT 20 of 20 times and the fixed build of SIGINT 15 of 15. That is the first new test in the branch, if you want it here.
  • This PR is marked as conflicting with main. Since every open PR now hits the flaky test, the c-bindings.cpp change alone would unbreak main if the startup mask changes need more discussion.

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/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp — A SIGTERM sent to bun run in the microseconds around the spawn can be silently dropped: the script never receives it and bun keeps waiting, which the PR claims is now fixed. The handler at c-bindings.cpp:1093-1098 reads Bun__currentSyncPID, and if zero stores the signal into Bun__pendingSignalToSend. If a second thread runs the handler, is preempted between the read and the store, and the main thread meanwhile stores the pid at process.rs:3184 and drains at process.rs:3247, the late store is never read. Fix: after storing the pending signal, re-read Bun__currentSyncPID and forward if it is now nonzero, and make the pid/pending pair atomic so the check-then-set cannot interleave with the store-then-drain.

    Why this was flagged

    Bun__registerSignalsForForwarding (src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp:1084) installs the handler process-wide; a process-directed SIGTERM is delivered to any thread not blocking it, and bun install lifecycle and HTTP threads exist before the spawn. The handler at c-bindings.cpp:1093 reads Bun__currentSyncPID (plain int64, no atomic) and at c-bindings.cpp:1094 writes Bun__pendingSignalToSend. The main thread stores the pid at src/spawn/process.rs:3184 and then calls Bun__sendPendingSignalIfNecessary at process.rs:3247, which reads and clears the pending slot at c-bindings.cpp:1075-1076. If the handler thread reads zero, is preempted, and the main thread completes both the store and the drain before the handler's write at c-bindings.cpp:1094 lands, the signal is recorded in a slot nobody reads again. The script never gets SIGTERM and bun waits for it indefinitely. The base branch has the same ordering, but this PR rewrites the forwarding helper, adds a test that sends the signal exactly in this window, and claims forwarding is now reliable.

    Verification: The trigger is a secondary thread preempted between the handler's load and its store. The handler at src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp:1093-1095 does a plain check-then-store; the main thread stores the pid at src/spawn/process.rs:3184 and drains once at :3247. A store that lands after the drain is never consumed. The check-then-store and the drain ordering are unchanged from the base.

Data for this PR: the forwarder bug that it patches (Bun__forwardSignalFromParentToChildAndRestorePreviousAction) makes test/cli/run/run_command.test.ts fail in CI with Expected: "SIGINT", Received: "SIGABRT". Builds 124378, 124477, 124545, 124556, 124759, 125044 and 125184 show it (7 of 1,975 builds from 2026-10-09 to 2026-10-15), and the test runner does not retry a failure that prints SIGABRT. #45542 added a SIGUSR2 handshake to ctrl-c.test.ts to stay clear of the same bug. The +4/-5 hunk in c-bindings.cpp and its test can land on their own if the rest of this PR needs more time.

#45965 has only the c-bindings.cpp hunk of this PR, with the same text, and a test for it in test/cli/run/run_command.test.ts. It exists so that the red Ctrl+C test on main can be fixed without the two mask changes here. After it merges, this PR rebases without a conflict and keeps the startup and spawn changes.

…empty one

The blocked-signal mask survives execve, so a launcher that has a signal
blocked starts bun with it blocked, and posix_spawn_bun then restored that
same mask in every child right before exec. Signals sent to bun or to
anything it spawned were silently never delivered.

Clear the mask in main(), as node does at startup, and have posix_spawn_bun
exec the child with an empty mask, which is what the libc posix_spawn path
(posix_spawnattr_reset_signals), process.execve and the --watch reload
already do, and what libuv does for node's children.
Bun__forwardSignalFromParentToChildAndRestorePreviousAction blocked the
signal around kill() and then unblocked the set that had been blocked
before. Called from Bun__sendPendingSignalIfNecessary, for a signal that
arrived before the child's pid was stored, that set does not contain the
signal, so it stayed blocked in bun: later deliveries were never forwarded
and the re-raise after the child died from it returned and fell through to
abort(), so bun run died from SIGABRT instead of the child's signal.

Restore the saved set with SIG_SETMASK instead, and add a test that signals
bun run as soon as its child appears in /proc, which is before the pid is
stored nearly every time.
src/bun_bin/lib.rs moved to src/runtime/bin_entry/mod.rs.
…published

The forwarding handler runs on whichever thread the signal lands on. It
read the pid as zero, stored the signal as pending, and returned. If the
main thread stored the pid and drained the pending slot between those two
steps, the signal stayed in the slot and was never forwarded.

Make both variables atomic. The handler re-reads the pid after it stores
the pending signal, and both sides take the signal out of the slot with an
exchange, so exactly one of them forwards it.

The test spins until the script appears rather than for a fixed 3 s, and
spawns a child on a PTY as well, which is the path that reaches fork() on
macOS.
The mask dance around kill() guarded nothing: the target is the child or
the process group it leads, and bun is in neither. Drop it and the name
that described an action restore that no longer exists.

The early-signal test no longer spins on /proc. The launcher ignores
SIGINT before it execs bun, and a loop sends SIGINT to bun for its whole
life, so one lands between the handler install and the pid store. It
runs on every POSIX platform.

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

Beyond the inline nit, I checked the new pid/pending-signal handoff in src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp for a lost signal: both sides are seq_cst (store pid then exchange pending; store pending then re-load pid), so at least one side observes the other and the exchange lets exactly one forward — no gap found. Also confirmed the unblocked kill() cannot hit bun itself (the negative pid targets the script's own pgroup, which bun is not in), that the empty childmask is only applied at the exec step (bun-spawn.cpp:461) while the parent still restores oldmask, and that no caller of the old Bun__forwardSignalFromParentToChildAndRestorePreviousAction name remains. The earlier points about the macOS fork path and the fixed-deadline spin are covered by the rewritten tests (PTY spawn variant; flood-based early-signal test).

Extended reasoning...

The PR clears the inherited signal mask at bun startup (src/runtime/bin_entry/mod.rs), execs posix_spawn_bun children with an empty mask, and rewrites the bun run signal-forwarding handler in c-bindings.cpp to use std::atomic with a seq_cst handoff instead of blocking/unblocking the signal around kill(). It touches no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface, but it does change async-signal-handler concurrency and process-wide signal state, which is subtle enough that a human familiar with the spawn/signal code should still look; the one inline finding is a test-speed nit.

Addressed the review:

  • The forwarder no longer touches the mask at all. The target of the kill() is the child or the group it leads, never bun, so the block and restore around it guarded nothing. It is a plain kill(pid, sig) now.
  • The thread race: Bun__currentSyncPID and the pending slot are atomics. The handler re-reads the pid after it stores the signal, and both sides take the signal out with exchange(0), so one of them forwards it and a signal is not lost.
  • The /proc spin test is gone. The early-signal test now ignores SIGINT until bun run installs its handler and floods it with SIGINT from then on, so one lands inside the spawn. It runs on every POSIX platform and makes three attempts.
  • The fixture spawns a child on a PTY as well, which is the path that reaches fork() in posix_spawn_bun on macOS.
  • One test file on purpose: the launcher tests, the bun:ffi test and the flood test share the compiled launcher and one fixture.

Beyond the inline nit, I also traced the forwarder's store/exchange protocol in src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp against the two SeqCst stores in src/spawn/process.rs — with both sides draining the slot via exchange(0), a signal that lands between the pid store and the drain is forwarded exactly once by one side, and I could not construct a lost or doubled delivery. The removed mask dance was indeed the SIGABRT cause (its SIG_UNBLOCK used the pre-block mask, which lacked sig on the non-handler path, so the signal stayed blocked), and the plain kill(-pgid) cannot reach bun itself because the sync child is spawned with new_process_group. The startup pthread_sigmask clear runs before the crash handler or anything else creates a thread, and the hoisted childmask is still captured by reference for the vfork/clone3 trampolines.

Extended reasoning...

The change clears the inherited signal mask in bun's main(), execs posix_spawn_bun children with an empty mask, and replaces the bun run signal-forwarding globals with a lock-free atomic protocol shared between C++ and Rust, plus a new launcher-based test file. It touches process spawning and signal-handler code on every POSIX platform but no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface. The forwarding protocol and the startup behaviour change are subtle enough that a human familiar with the spawn layer should still read them, which together with the one inline nit decides defer rather than approve.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the early-SIGINT fixture keep the child alive.

The go script currently runs kill -INT $$, so the child can terminate itself. The test can therefore pass without external SIGINT forwarding. Replace it with exec sleep 30; then the test can finish only when the flooded signal reaches the script.

The last push resolves the remaining nit from my previous review, and I found no bugs in this version; since the core of the PR is a lock-free protocol between a signal handler and the spawning thread plus two process-wide behavior changes (clearing the inherited mask in main, exec'ing children with an empty mask), a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • The store/exchange protocol in src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp against the SeqCst pid stores in src/spawn/process.rs: in every interleaving at least one side sees the other's store, and the two exchange(0) calls let exactly one forward.
  • The old forwarder's leak: when called from Bun__sendPendingSignalIfNecessary, pthread_sigmask(SIG_BLOCK, ..., &restore_mask) overwrote restore_mask with the empty old mask, so the unblock was a no-op and the signal stayed blocked; the plain kill removes that.
  • The mask clear in src/runtime/bin_entry/mod.rs runs before any thread exists (crash-handler init creates none), and libc::sigset_t carries the Zeroable impl the safe zeroed() call needs.
  • oldmask is still restored on the parent at the end of posix_spawn_bun; only the vfork/fork child's mask changed.
Extended reasoning...

The PR touches signal handling in native code: the bun run signal-forwarding handler and its shared pid/pending-signal state in src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp (now std::atomic with a Dekker-style store/exchange protocol), the child signal mask in posix_spawn_bun (src/jsc/bindings/bun-spawn.cpp), a process-wide pthread_sigmask clear at startup in src/runtime/bin_entry/mod.rs, SeqCst ordering on the pid stores in src/spawn/process.rs, and a new 254-line test file. It touches no injection, auth, or data-exposure surface, and no CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed paths. The protocol and the startup/child mask changes read as correct, and the only change since the prior review is a one-line test cleanup that addressed my last inline nit. Deferral rather than approval is because a lock-free signal-handler protocol and process-wide signal semantics are the kind of change a maintainer should weigh in on, not because of any defect found.

### What does this PR do?

Hardening. This collects the open pull requests that fix a crash in Bun
into one change, and fixes about 20 more crashes that had no pull
request.

"Crash" here means a segfault, a Rust panic, an abort, a failed
assertion, memory corruption that a sanitizer reports, a native stack
overflow, or an exception that ends the process and that the program
can't catch. With this PR those cases throw a normal error, print a
normal CLI error and exit 1, or just work.

306 pull requests are included: 227 whole, and 79 cut down to the crash
fix where the rest was a refactor, a feature or a behavior change. Each
one was checked against current `main` first. 45 more turned out to be
fixed already, and 17 were duplicates. The full list is at the bottom.

#### Crashes you could hit in normal use

- **`bun build` with macros and a `.env` file crashed at random.** In a
repro with many macro modules, more than a third of the builds crashed.
Now 3,000 of 3,000 produce the right bundle. (#45960)
- **`bun run` and `bunx` aborted if a signal arrived while the child was
being spawned.** (#38926, #45965)
- **`bun build --compile ./index.js ./public/*` panicked** if an
embedded file's name wasn't valid UTF-8.
- **A truncated or corrupted compiled executable** died with SIGBUS or a
panic at startup. It now prints an error. (#31787, #38251, #41360)
- **Dev server:** several `Option::unwrap()` panics after a failed or
deleted import (#38046, #44744, #44746), a segfault when an `onLoad`
plugin throws while another bundle is queued, a request that hung and
then panicked with `bundle active`, and `server.stop()` that never
resolved after a client aborted a waiting request.
- **`Bun.serve`:** `server.fetch(url, { headers: new Headers() })`
followed by a GC segfaulted (#40888). Routes were used after free after
`server.reload()` with `tls.serverName` (#38636).
- **`text()` and `json()` on a stream of string chunks** could abort the
process, a regression in 1.4.0. (#44269)
- **`Bun.Transpiler` with `exports.eliminate` or `exports.replace`**
aborted on `export default 1` and on most re-export clauses. (#44137)
- **A decorated `declare` field in a class expression** with
`experimentalDecorators` panicked. (#38095)
- **YAML and JSON5 files with a key that isn't a string** panicked with
`--no-bundle` and in `Bun.Transpiler`. (#41827)
- **`Bun.FileSystemRouter`:** reading `.params` segfaulted when a
rejected route candidate left its parameters behind. (#39290, #39291)
- **Native addons that call `uv_async_*`, `uv_timer_*`, `uv_idle_*`,
`uv_prepare_*`, `uv_check_*`, `uv_queue_work` or `uv_cwd`** aborted with
"unsupported uv function" on Linux and macOS. They're implemented now.
(#36609, #39652, #39892)
- **`--watch` and `--hot`** panicked when the system was out of inotify
instances or file descriptors, or when the reload `exec` failed. They
print an error now. (#39629, #39975, #44837)
- **Paths longer than the path buffer** panicked in `bun install`, the
resolver, the bundler, `--compile`, `tsconfig.json` `paths` and
`baseUrl`, `package.json` `main` and `sideEffects`, `bun run --filter`,
`bun pm diff`, source maps and snapshots. They're ordinary errors now,
or they work. (#36340, #37529, #39104, #39650, #43067)
- **A Worker that creates a `ShadowRealm` and imports
`node:worker_threads` in it** segfaulted.
- **`structuredClone` or `postMessage` of an X25519 key** gave an object
that aborted the process when read. (#45624)
- **`node:stream` web adapters and `node:http2`** could end the process
with an exception that no handler could catch. (#45076, #45975)
- **Windows:** a watcher panic in a burst of file changes (#44344), a
segfault after the machine resumes from sleep (#33015), crashes in the
shell's pipe reader (#39638, #43606), and addons that import from
`node.exe` without the delay-load hook (#35618).

Most of the rest needs unusual input: strings near the 2 GiB limit,
buffers that another thread or a getter resizes or detaches in the
middle of a call, `worker.terminate()` at a bad moment, running out of
memory or file descriptors, very deep nesting, or hostile arguments to
`bun:ffi`, `node:vm` and `bun:sqlite`.

#### Behavior changes

Things that didn't crash before and behave differently now:

- `new` on native functions that aren't constructors throws a
`TypeError`, as in Node: `util.types.*`, `buffer.isAscii`, `isUtf8`,
`transcode`, `resolveObjectURL`, `bun:jsc` exports, `cc()` symbols. It
used to return the call's result. They also stop printing as `[class
hostname]`. (#34575)
- `` $`cmd` `` throws `ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE` if an environment
variable's name or value contains a NUL byte. It used to cut the value
at the NUL. (#44981)
- `cc()` functions throw a `TypeError` for arguments that used to reach
C as garbage, and `read.*(ptr, NaN)` throws. (#37989, #38057, #40773)
- As PID 1, `bun` exits with 128 + the signal number on Ctrl+C or
`docker stop`. (#38877)
- A `NODE_MODULE` addon that's already loaded by the main thread throws
`ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED` when a live Worker loads it too, as in Node.
(#39968)
- An exception from a `node:vm` context reaches `uncaughtException`
handlers. (#39992) `vm.constants.DONT_CONTEXTIFY` returns the real
global proxy. (#34623)
- `createPrivateKey` rejects an EC JWK whose private value doesn't match
its public point. (#33752)
- `@dec static {}` is a syntax error, as in TypeScript and esbuild.
(#44883)
- `clearTimeout` ignores 0 and negative ids, and timer ids no longer
wrap. (#44771)
- HEAD for a `Response` whose body is an S3-backed `Blob` reports the
length that GET sends. (#44734)
- `bun:sqlite` and `node:sqlite`: if `iterate()` left a write unfinished
on a connection that has a hook, a user function or an authorizer, the
write is finished on the connection's next call instead of during
garbage collection. If the database is gone too, it's rolled back.
- `bun test --bail` runs exit listeners and closes SQLite databases.
(#39010)
- Dev server: a request for a client script waits while a bundle is in
flight (#42733), query strings reach framework routes (#33232), and a
request gets a 500 instead of hanging when plugins fail (#36812).

#### File formats

- `.jsc` bytecode files get a 24-byte footer so they can be verified
before decoding. Files from an older Bun are ignored and the source is
parsed instead. (#39396)
- `node:vm` `cachedData` gets an 8-byte checksum. A blob from an older
Bun is rejected, which the API allows. (#32839)
- The built-in modules section of a compiled executable changes from
format 1 to 2 and carries an engine stamp. (#44907)

#### Performance

Measured in instructions per operation on release builds of this branch
and its base, with an A/A run for the noise floor (0.0 to 0.2 %).

No change: `Bun.serve`, `node:http`, WebSocket echo and publish, `bun
build` of 3,807 modules, `bun run` with 2,000 imports, `readdir` /
`Glob` / `fs.cp` over 23,689 entries, startup and RSS. The binary grows
by 176 KB (0.17 %).

| Faster | Instructions |
| --- | --- |
| WebSocket echo of a 1 MB non-ASCII text message | −72 % |
| `Bun.inspect` of a large non-ASCII string | −39 % |
| `Bun.markdown.html` on large non-ASCII input | −33 % |
| `` $`cmd` `` with 300 environment variables | −6 % |
| `fs.readSync` | −5 % |
| `TextEncoder.encodeInto`, short ASCII strings | −4 % |
| async `crypto.pbkdf2`, 16-byte inputs | −17 % |

| Slower | Instructions | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `cc()` calls | +5 to +51 per call | Argument count and type checks,
and a check for `close()` (#37989, #38057, #43802, #44921). `dlopen()`
calls don't change |
| `process.env.X = v` | 38 → 593 per write | Writes aren't cached. Reads
don't change (#38871) |
| async `crypto.pbkdf2`, inputs of 1 KB or more | +4 to +9 % | Password
and salt are copied (#40554) |
| `bun build` with an object `--define` used thousands of times | +4.5 %
| The object is copied per use (#45969) |

#### Not included

- Fixes that need a WebKit change: #39967, #42534, #42982, #43764,
#43786, #44226. #42185 too: a typed array that has no `ArrayBuffer` yet
can't be pinned, so `view.buffer.transfer()` during an async call can
still free its bytes. Creating the `ArrayBuffer` up front costs 7 to 12
% on every async `fs` call, so the fix belongs in JSC: an `ArrayBuffer`
created while the view is borrowed should start out pinned.
- #45442 (`calc()` sums as a flat list): it changes minified output for
real stylesheets to survive a `calc()` with 25,000 terms. It deserves
its own review.
- #40023 (Windows event loop redesign), #29928 (Windows exit path),
#40534, #43963, #39571, #42904, #42834, #36355, #43266: refactors or
features whose crash is already covered or isn't a crash.
- The pull requests marked *(crash fix only)* below should stay open for
their other half.

### How did you verify your code works?

- **Tests.** Every fix has a test that fails on `main` (a release or an
ASAN build) and passes on this branch, except where that isn't
practical: code that only runs on Windows or macOS, inputs that need
several GB of memory, and a few rare races. Those were checked by hand
or by reading.
- **Stored repro scripts.** 230 crash repros ran on release and ASAN
builds of this branch and of `main`, side by side. Release: 88 no longer
crash. ASAN: 106 no longer crash. None crashes that didn't before. What
still crashes needs WebKit, is SQLite's own bug, or isn't a crash. The
ASAN number is from a later commit than the release number.
- **Dev server.** Because one fix makes requests wait, 2,171 generated
programs ran random interleavings of edits, build errors, failing
plugins, reloads, stops and disconnects with about 120,000 requests. No
request hung, was answered twice or got a stale body. `main` hung in 82
of 1,161 programs. This also found the four dev server bugs listed
above.
- **Path helpers.** 336,000 boundary cases with buffers of exactly the
computed size, and 12,003 random calls through 30 JS APIs on an ASAN
build, compared with `main`. No sanitizer report, and the results match
wherever `main` doesn't panic.
- **What worked on 1.4.3 still works.** Reviewers compared behavior with
1.4.3 and took out what changed it: for example an output directory
layout change for 9 or more entry points, a `server.reload()` change,
and a changed error message for `import("file:///50%deposit.ts")`.
- **Not run locally:** the Windows, macOS and FreeBSD code paths. CI
compiles and tests them.

The early-signal script is exec sleep 30 now (707f0ab), so it dies only from the SIGINT that bun run forwards. Unfixed bun: SIGABRT 5 of 5 runs. Fixed debug build: 6 pass, 4 runs.

I reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; the points raised on earlier versions (serial flood test, manual kill next to await using, the fork()-path coverage on macOS) are addressed in the current code. Because this changes process-wide signal behavior for every bun invocation and every spawned child, and replaces the forwarder with a lock-free handler/spawner handshake, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • The store-then-exchange / store-then-load protocol in c-bindings.cpp against the two SeqCst stores in process.rs: in every interleaving exactly one side forwards, and the handler now only touches lock-free atomics and kill(), all async-signal-safe.
  • The removed mask dance: its UNBLOCK used the sigprocmask out-set rather than {sig}, so on the pending-signal path the signal stayed blocked and the re-raise in Global.rs fell through to abort(); plain kill() targets only the child or its pgroup, so nothing is lost by dropping it.
  • The empty child mask in posix_spawn_bun now matches what the libc posix_spawn path (spawn.cpp) already did, and the startup pthread_sigmask runs before any thread is created, next to the existing SIGPIPE/SIGXFSZ setup.
  • The test: fails on the base (SIG_IGN inherited via trap "" INT, forwarded SIGINT is the only way the exec sleep 30 script dies), all pipes are drained concurrently, and resources use using/await using.
Extended reasoning...

The change touches bun's process entry (clearing the inherited signal mask on unix), the fork-based spawner (children now exec with an empty mask instead of the parent's), the bun run signal forwarder in C++ (two globals become std::atomic with a Dekker-style publish/drain handshake, mask manipulation around kill() removed), the matching Rust stores (Relaxed to SeqCst), FFI doc comments, and a new 255-line POSIX test file. It touches no injection, auth or data-exposure surface, but signal-handler and spawn code is concurrency-sensitive native code. Deciding factors for defer rather than approve: the mask clearing is a user-visible behavior change for every bun process and child, the correctness of the handshake rests on memory-ordering reasoning a maintainer should confirm, and a third-party review comment on 2026-10-20 whose contents are not visible here has only one small test-only commit after it.
