Part of #45192

Needs a maintainer decision: see "Decision needed" below.

Problem

• A test or hook that finishes after its timeout passes when it blocks after an await. await Bun.sleep(50); Bun.sleepSync(3000) under 300 ms prints (pass) [3050ms].
• A timer cannot fire while JavaScript blocks. The completion is queued first, and Execution::step (src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs) never reads the deadline.

Fix

• BunTest::add_result stamps each completion when it is queued. Execution::step compares the stamp with the entry's deadline. A verdict already set stands.
• Riders: a late done() prints the plain timeout line, and the printed duration ends at the stamp. Tests that passed late are loosened (Notes).
• Verified: test/js/bun/test/test-test.test.ts (10 fixtures, all fail on main), node-test.test.ts (1).
• Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised, 9 addressed.

Background

• An entry is one test or hook callback with a deadline. Completions (promise, done(), unhandled rejection) pass through one queue.
• Vitest 5.0.5 fails a test that fulfils late. Jest 30.5.2 and Node 26.3.0 pass it.
• A check in the promise and done() handlers misses the third producer. One at queue drain fails a test that finished in time.

Downsides

• Tests that pass late today fail. Some only waited while a sibling, a leftover callback or a busy machine held the thread (Notes).
• node:test under bun test differs from Node for a late test (node:test async tests exceeding 5s timeout fail in Bun but pass in Node #27422).
• Per test: clock reads 4 to 3 (done-style 6 to 5). Queue slot: 40 to 56 bytes. Release .text: +1,024 bytes.

Notes

The open decision

No maintainer has ruled that a late completion must fail. The only maintainer-written expectation for this case says it passes: 7b6e388 on #44833 (reverted by 2705a15, whose message gives other reasons) had "a test that blocks past its timeout after a timer still passes" with counts: [" 1 pass", " 0 fail"]. This PR reports that test as timed out. The question, in four parts, is in the comment "Decision needed".

Release note, if this lands

A test or hook whose completion arrives after its timeout now fails. That includes a test that waited while a concurrent sibling, or a callback from an earlier test, blocked the thread. Raise the timeout (--timeout, setDefaultTimeout(), the third argument of test), or mark a test that blocks with test.serial.

Reference runners (run for this PR: a 100 ms timeout, a 300 ms block after a 1 ms timer)

shape	Jest 30.5.2	Vitest 5.0.5	main	this PR
resolves late	pass	Test timed out in 100ms	pass	timed out
rejects late	own error	own error	own error	own error
late done()	pass	no done	pass	timed out
late beforeEach	body runs, pass	Hook timed out, body skipped	body runs, pass	hook timed out, body skipped
blocks without an await	pass	timed out	timed out	timed out

• Vitest checks in withTimeout (packages/vitest/src/runtime/runner/context.ts). jest-circus and node:test race a timer against the test and have no check when the test completes.
• The verdict is the same for every import: bun:test, @jest/globals, vitest. Main has no record of the importer (HardcodedModule.rs aliases all three), so a rule per module needs bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833.

node:test under bun test

node:test tests run as done-style bun:test entries with bun's watchdog: --timeout, or max(timeout, 5000) for a test with a timeout option (src/js/node/test.ts, bunTestOptions). Main already applies that watchdog to a test that blocks without an await and to a test that waits too long (#27422). This PR applies it to a test that completes late. The new fixtures test/js/node/test_runner/fixtures/30-late-*.js, run with --timeout 100:

test	node --test --test-timeout=100 (26.3.0)	main	this PR
completes late	ok	pass	timed out
completes late, { timeout: Infinity }	ok	pass	pass
fails late	not ok, own error	own error	own error
calls t.skip() late	skip	skip	skip

Of 7 late rows measured earlier (pass, skip, todo, root before and root after under --timeout, pass and skip past the padded 5000 ms default), 3 equal Node 26.3.0 with this PR: the skip and todo rows. On main all 7 do.

Who else is timed out

The check charges wall-clock time, whoever held the thread. Main already does that whenever the timeout timer runs before the completion. Measured on debug builds:

• A concurrent sibling blocks. A has a 100 ms timeout. B is await Bun.sleep(1); Bun.sleepSync(300). Three runs each:

A waits on	1.4.3-canary (367d939)	this PR
Bun.sleep(10)	pass, pass, pass	timed out, 3 of 3
a child that exits after 50 ms	pass, pass, pass	timed out, 3 of 3
Bun.file().text()	timed out, 3 of 3	timed out, 3 of 3

• An earlier test leaves a callback. setTimeout(() => Bun.sleepSync(200), 1) in a test that passes, then a test that awaits 20 ms under 100 ms: main passes it, this PR times it out (fixture "a callback left running by an earlier test"). Across files it is the same without --isolate: a 600 ms block left by a.test.js times out a 500 ms wait under 700 ms in b.test.js. With --isolate that test passes.
• The machine is busy. await Bun.sleep(10) under a timeout of 10 ms plus slack, 8 workers pinned to 4 CPUs, load average 17 to 39, 3,200 tests per cell:

slack	20 ms	50 ms	100 ms	250 ms	500 ms	1000 ms
main, timeouts	106	15	10	1	0	0
this PR, timeouts	418	144	43	11	4	1

On main a timer that was due in time runs before the timeout timer, however late the process ran. With this PR the delay counts.

• The runner cannot tell whose code ran after an await in a group with more than one test, so it cannot limit the verdict to the test that blocked.
• A pause in a debugger after the last await is a late completion too. A pause before the first await already timed the test out on main. Not tested here.
• test.serial keeps a blocking test out of a concurrent group, with and without --concurrent (fixture). describe.serial does not under --concurrent: the flag makes its tests concurrent. That is a separate bug on main and is not changed here. The docs name test.serial only.

Landing order

• bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 rewrites both files. Against its head e0ec02c this PR conflicts in 7 hunks: 5 in Execution.rs, 2 in bun_test.rs. The two riders (callback_completed, ended_at) sit on the lines where bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 adds its timeout side effects. Without them the conflict is 1 hunk. On bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 a timeout is a verdict plus TestContext::abort_signal, mark_timed_out and report_around_timeout (Execution.rs:1228-1247 and :1387-1399 there). The new compare must call them too, and must run before waits_for_matchers(). bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833's fourth producer (expect_deferred) is covered by the stamp with no edit.
• bun test: rank "no timeout" as the latest deadline for spawnSync in a concurrent group #46213 changes which deadline spawnSync's wait loop uses in a concurrent group. It must land after this PR, and only if the answer for concurrent siblings is yes. Fixture: a test.concurrent with a 300 ms timeout runs Bun.spawnSync(["sleep", "2"]) after an await, beside a running test with timeout 0:

build	result
this PR	(fail) [303ms], the child ends by SIGTERM
this PR and #46213's change to jest.rs	(fail) [2018ms], timed out after 300ms, the child exits 0
main's runner and #46213's change	(pass) [2020ms], exit code 0

• bun test: keep a preload's setDefaultTimeout() for every file in the run #39235 (the first half of bun test: setDefaultTimeout() in a preload applies only to the first file, and a sync block after a timer escapes the timeout #45192) must land first or in the same release. A preload calls setDefaultTimeout(15_000). Two files each have a test that blocks 6 s after an await. Main passes both. This PR passes the first and fails the second with timed out after 5000ms, because the preload's default reaches only the first file.

Tests in this repository

CI cannot show a test that passes late at the 5 s default: scripts/runner.node.ts passes --timeout=90000 (three times that on ASAN). An explicit timeout is not scaled. Changed here, each measured on debug builds of the merge base and this PR:

• test/napi/napi.test.ts, "bundle .node files": 10 tests call spawnSync in a concurrent group. Main: 10 pass at 6 to 10 s each under the 5 s default. This PR before the change: 6 or 7 time out. With describe.serial: 10 pass in 3 of 3 runs.
• test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts, "correctly handles file descriptors with an offset": { timeout: 100 } around a done test that takes 110 to 205 ms. Main: pass in 2 of 3 runs, timed out in 1. This PR: timed out in 3 of 3. The timeout is removed.
• test/cli/test/process-kill-fixture.ts and process-kill-fixture-sync.ts: a 100 ms sleep under 200 ms takes 107 to 178 ms at idle. The timeout is removed.
• test/js/sql/sql.test.ts and sql-mysql.test.ts, "connection timeout key": a 200 ms connect timeout under { timeout: 1000 } takes 290 to 633 ms at idle. The timeout is removed.
• The rest of the suite, on a debug build at the 5 s default (one run per build, 150 s cap per file). With this PR, 42 files (the 21 files that have a blocking call inside a concurrent test body by an AST scan, and 21 more that spawn processes, among them napi, fs, node-test, bun-rules, glob/scan and bun-build-compile): 6,934 pass, 53 timeouts at the deadline, 47 timeouts after the deadline, 9 other failures. 7 files hit the cap.
• The 9 files with a timeout after the deadline, run again with main's Execution.rs and bun_test.rs: 1,780 pass and 101 timeouts. 34 of those passes took more than 5 s: lint 14, check 5, bun-rules 5, bun-build-compile 4, bun-install-git-deps 4, bun-write 2. Those are the tests that pass late today.
• Joined by test name, 1,881 tests in both runs: 17 passed with main's runner and timed out after the deadline with this PR. 13 passed and timed out at the deadline, and 67 failed with main's runner and passed with this PR. The variation between two runs of a debug build is larger than the effect, and three runs of all 88 candidate files per build were not done.

Cost

• Main-thread clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) calls per test (an LD_PRELOAD counter, debug builds, slope over 50 and 250 tests): synchronous 4.04 to 3.04, done-style 6.04 to 5.04, async with async beforeEach and afterEach 14.3 to 14.8 before and 13.7 to 13.9 after, done-style under --concurrent 4.44 to 3.44. The stamp adds one read per completion. Its reuse as now in Execution::step and as the end time of the sequence removes two.
• Per async completion (runner trace, 200 tests, merge base and PR): validity lookups 1 and 1, queue reads 1 and 1, RunTestsTask 1 and 1. No call site of add_result or run_next_tick changed.
• Result-queue slot: 40 to 56 bytes (size_of, const assert in the tree).
• malloc calls per test (ASAN allocator statistics, debug builds, slope over 250 and 1250 tests): synchronous 7.01 and 7.01, done-style 11.02 and 11.02, promise 10.02 and 10.02.
• Release builds with LTO of the merge base 6292c65 and of this PR, llvm-size -A: .text 82,253,657 to 82,254,681 bytes, +1,024. .rodata, .data and .eh_frame do not change, and the stripped binary has the same file size. By function (llvm-nm -S): BunTest::run plus step_group, which is no longer inlined into it, 8,829 to 9,243. advance_sequence 11,119 to 11,167. step_sequence 1,206 to 1,298. on_unhandled_rejection 762 to 909.
• User instructions per test on those release builds (instructions:u, slope over 250 and 1250 tests, 3 runs): synchronous 35,261 to 35,271 (spread 185), done-style 54,502 to 54,534 (spread 31), promise 118,816 to 118,708 (spread 1,417).
• perf, valgrind and strace are not in the container and apt has no candidate for them. The instruction counts come from a small perf_event_open wrapper.

The fixtures

• Each late body blocks with Bun.sleepSync or a busy loop for longer than its timeout. No outcome depends on a wait being short, except three rows with a 1000 ms margin ("finishes within its timeout", "waits on a timer after the serial test") and the default 5 s.
• A late test whose timer verdict would print something else (the done() hint, a lost error) is the first test of its file and resumes from setImmediate. A test that starts while the runner handles the timeout of the test before it is judged again as soon as it yields. In 2 of 12 traced runs of the earlier fixtures on a debug build, such a test took 148 and 182 ms to reach its first await, against a 100 ms timeout, and got the timer's verdict. With a forced 150 ms start, the same test prints the timer's verdict as the second test of a file and its own error as the first.
• 10 fixtures and the node:test test fail on the merge-base debug build and pass on this PR's.

Not covered

• Under retry, a completion that an earlier attempt queued can end the next attempt (bun test: ignore completions from an earlier attempt of a retried test #38876, also fixed in bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833). That is on main. With this PR such an attempt prints no duration.
• spawnSync in a concurrent group with more than one running test still waits for its child (bun test: rank "no timeout" as the latest deadline for spawnSync in a concurrent group #46213). When a deadline passes inside Bun.spawnSync after an await, main reports the timeout from inside that call and starts the next entry below the old frame. bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 starts the next test in a new event-loop task after a timeout.
• A timeout that the runner finds when a callback completes does not always kill the test's child processes. Measured, 3 runs each: killed when the late test resumed from setImmediate (the timeout timer runs before the runner reads the completion), not killed when it resumed from a timer, and not killed when it blocked without an await (the same on main). bun test: on a timeout, kill only the processes the timed-out test or hook callback spawned #45081 moves the kill to the step that declares the timeout.
• Precedence stays split. A late throw without an await reads as timed out, and a test.failing that does so fails. After an await the thrown error stands, as in Jest and Vitest.

Self-review

9 concerns raised, 9 addressed: the fixtures (one was racy), a serial case, the retry alias, the wording of the docs, tests with tight timeouts, node:test, describe.serial under --concurrent, leftover callbacks across files, and this text. One was addressed in another way than asked. The review wanted the docs to say that a late timeout does not kill child processes. A run showed that it kills them after setImmediate and not after a timer, so the docs do not say it, and "Not covered" states what was measured.

Suites run

On the debug build of this branch, with main merged at 179664e:

• test/js/bun/test/test-test.test.ts: 34 pass, 16 skip, 0 fail in 4 of 4 runs. The 10 fixtures also pass in 6 of 6 runs on one core shared with three busy loops. With main's Execution.rs and bun_test.rs: 10 fail.
• test/js/node/test_runner/node-test.test.ts: 46 pass. With main's two files the new test fails.
• test/js/bun/test/{bun_test,concurrent,concurrent_immediate,done-async,test-retry-repeats-basic,test-on-test-finished,failure-skip,jest-hooks,test-error-code-done-callback,test-failing}.test.ts, test/cli/test/{test-timeout-behavior,retry-flag,rerun-each}.test.ts, test/js/bun/spawn/spawnSync.test.ts, test/regression/issue/23865.test.ts: 105 pass, 0 fail.
• test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts -t timeout: 5 pass. fs.test.ts -t "file descriptors with an offset": 1 pass. sql.test.ts and sql-mysql.test.ts -t "connection timeout key": 4 and 4 pass. napi.test.ts -t "bundle .node files": 10 pass.
• cargo fmt --all -- --check and prettier --check on the changed files: clean.

Earlier revisions

1. The deadline was compared in Execution::step with the time of the drain. A sibling that blocks before the drain then fails a test that finished in time.
2. The compare moved into the promise and done() handlers (b899f69fb4). It judged 2 of 3 producers and looked up the sequence twice per completion.
3. This revision stamps in the one writer and compares in the one reader.

Status: reproduced on main and on 1.4.3. test("x", async () => { await Bun.sleep(50); Bun.sleepSync(3000); }, 300) prints (pass) x [3050ms]. A busy loop does the same, and so does Bun.spawnSync in a test.concurrent group beside a running sibling. The fix and its tests are in this PR (#39440), which contains main at 179664e.

CI on b0cb6f4 (build 132116): no job failed. 179 of 181 jobs passed, and 2 darwin x64 test jobs still wait for an agent. Eight test files failed once and passed on a retry. None of those failures is a timeout. One is in test/napi/napi.test.ts, which this PR touches: it is an output-order mismatch in napi_get_value_string_* > behaves like node on edge cases, not one of the bundle tests that this PR made serial. test-test.test.ts and node-test.test.ts passed on the first try on every lane that ran, the two Windows lanes and x64-asan included.

Walkthrough

The test runner now carries result arrival times into timeout evaluation and sequence timing. Tests cover late callback completion and related timeout outcomes. Documentation describes wall-clock timeouts and blocking callbacks.

Changes

Test timeout accounting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Timestamped timeout evaluation src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/bun_test.rs	The result queue carries arrival timestamps into execution. Timeout evaluation distinguishes incomplete callbacks from completed callbacks. Sequence completion uses the supplied end time when available and avoids negative elapsed durations.
Bun timeout regression coverage test/js/bun/test/test-test.test.ts, test/napi/napi.test.ts, test/cli/test/process-kill-fixture*.ts, test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts, test/js/sql/*	Bun test-runner coverage checks late callbacks, blocking concurrent tests, hooks, retries, and existing verdicts. The N-API bundling cases now run serially. Selected tests no longer specify explicit timeout values.
Node test-runner timeout coverage test/js/node/test_runner/fixtures/30-late-*, test/js/node/test_runner/node-test.test.ts	Fixtures and assertions cover late completion, late failure, and late skip outcomes under a runner timeout.
Timeout behavior documentation docs/test/parallel.mdx, docs/test/runtime-behavior.mdx, docs/test/writing-tests.mdx	Documentation describes wall-clock timeout measurement, blocking callbacks, concurrent test timing, and what happens after a test exceeds its timeout.

Possibly related issues

• bun test: a timed-out async test keeps running after the next test starts, contrary to the docs #46538 — The changes check the deadline when promise completion arrives. They do not stop leftover asynchronous work from resuming.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner, alii

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Low · up to 8d3a6

A late synchronous expected failure can be reported as a timeout instead. This is a narrow verdict error, but it and the fixture import violation should be addressed before merging if practical.

Pushed 61ab141 for the one review comment (the fixture helper now drains stdout and snapshots it). The CodeRabbit "Review failed" notice and the two failed Actions jobs on the first push (lol-html cargo test died in bun install on an HTTP 4xx from api.github.com; claude-find-issues errored before doing anything) are unrelated to the diff; the new push re-runs them.

[claude]

I re-reviewed after 61ab141 (which addressed the stdout-drain nit) and didn't find any bugs. The fix mirrors the existing synchronous-return path's evaluate_timeout call and the callback_completed flag correctly gates the done-callback hint at all three call sites. Because this sits in Execution::step — the core verdict path every bun test goes through — and interacts with retry/repeat, test.failing, and concurrent-group siblings, a maintainer look would still be worthwhile.

Checked: the new &mut *sequence_ptr borrow is dead before advance_sequence re-derives (matches the pattern used throughout this file); evaluate_timeout overwriting sequence.result on the async path now matches what the sync path already did for .failing/rejected promises; maybe_skip = true routes through advance_sequence identically to the sync path so afterEach handling is unchanged.

The comment-cop flag on bun_test.rs:1949 is the new 4-line doc comment on evaluate_timeout — it documents the callback_completed parameter, not a workaround, so it reads as a false positive to me.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two-file Rust change in the test runner plus new integration tests. Execution::step (the async-completion path) now calls evaluate_timeout on the just-completed entry before advancing the sequence, matching what step_sequence_one already does on the synchronous-return path. ExecutionEntry::evaluate_timeout gains a callback_completed: bool so the ...WithDoneCallback result variants are only produced when the timer fires while the callback is genuinely still waiting. Four new subprocess fixtures in test-test.test.ts cover sequential/concurrent × sleepSync/busy-loop/spawnSync and both done()-late shapes.

Security risks

None. No untrusted input parsing, no auth/crypto, no FFI surface change. The unsafe blocks added follow the file's established raw-pointer-reborrow pattern (NonNull into execution.sequences, dereferenced at point of use, dead before the next reborrow).

Level of scrutiny

High — Execution::step is on the hot path of every bun test run and decides pass/fail verdicts. The change is small (~15 Rust lines) and mirrors existing logic, but the interaction surface is wide: retry/repeat (a blocked test now correctly counts as failed and consumes a retry), test.failing (a failing test that both throws and exceeds its deadline now reports timeout rather than pass — this already happened on the sync path, so the async path is being made consistent), concurrent-group siblings, and hook vs. test entries. I traced each of these and they look correct, but a maintainer who owns the test runner should confirm the .failing-plus-timeout precedence is the intended one.

Other factors

My previous review's stdout-drain nit was addressed in 61ab141 and the snapshots now include stdout. The github-actions comment-cop fired on the new doc comment for evaluate_timeout; that comment is a 4-line parameter description, not a workaround justification, so I read it as a false positive — but it is technically unresolved. The PR description lists an extensive set of related test files run on the debug build and notes the one-line conflict with two other open PRs touching the same function.

[robobun]

The stdout-drain comment was addressed in 61ab141 (thread resolved). Since then: f9070c0 trims the evaluate_timeout doc comment the comment lint flagged, and the description now states the precedence question the second review raised: a timeout recorded at completion replaces a thrown error or a test.failing pass, which is what the synchronous-return and timer paths already do on main (checked all three shapes against the release binary and this branch). No code changes beyond the comment; CI is running on f9070c0.

[robobun]

CI summary for the first push (build 100002, e463433): 3 test files failed, all in test/cli/install and all on fetches from api.github.com returning 504/4xx (bun-add.test.ts shows the URL in its failure; GHSA-pfwx-36v6-832x.test.ts and migration/complex-workspace.test.ts fail while installing their GitHub dependencies). The same upstream errors took out the bun install step of the cargo miri test job on the latest commit. None of the failures is a timeout verdict, which is the only output this PR changes, and none touches the files it changes; they have been reported separately. The comment-lint thread re-surfaced here was already resolved by f9070c0 and the lint is green on that commit. Build 100009 is running on the current code.

[robobun]

Reworked after the review finding on Execution::step: 13fa482 moves the deadline check to the moment the completion arrives (BunTest::on_callback_completed in the promise and done() handlers), leaves step unchanged, and adds a fixture in which a test that returned in time is followed by a sibling blocking for 300ms before the runner drains the queue; that fixture failed on the previous revision and passes now. 2f04881 trims the doc comment the comment lint flagged. The description is updated to describe the current shape, including the one completion-like path intentionally left alone (a test ended by an unhandled rejection) and what the change means for siblings in a concurrent group. All four review threads are resolved; CI is running on 2f04881.

[robobun]

State of the PR: code is unchanged since 2f04881 (d75b4dc is an empty commit to get a fresh CI run). The last review thread (done(err) after an overrun on a sequential test keeps the plain (fail) line) is confirmed and intentionally left to #39112, which reworks that block; the reasoning is in the thread and in the description. Build 100037 failed only on GitHub returning 429/503 to the aarch64 build's vendor fetch and to the test/cli/install tests that download from GitHub; the Rust library built and uploaded on every platform and no failure involves the test runner. Locally, the whole test/js/bun/test directory passes on the debug build with this change (1156 pass, 1 pre-existing color-dependent snapshot failure that also fails on main in the same environment). Build 100047 is running; the CodeRabbit rate-limit notice above needs nothing from this side.

[claude]

I reviewed this revision and found no remaining issues — the earlier findings (the stdout drain, the completion-time-vs-process-time regression, and the sequential done(err) gap deferred to #39112) are all addressed or acknowledged. Because this changes test-verdict semantics in the runner's unsafe-Rust core and intentionally leaves one sibling path to a follow-up PR, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• handle_callback_completed reuses get_current_and_valid_execution_sequence so stale/mismatched completions are ignored, matching step's guard.
• The callback_completed flag on evaluate_timeout: verified all three call sites pass the right value and that the ...WithDoneCallback variants are treated identically by every consumer (reporter, junit, debugger status mapping).
• The fifth fixture's ordering (queueMicrotask → sibling blocks before the queue drains) does exercise the arrival-vs-processing distinction the earlier revision got wrong.

Extended reasoning...

The PR adds a deadline check at the moment an async test/hook callback completes (promise then/catch and done()), so a test that blocks synchronously past its timeout after resuming from the event loop is reported as timed out instead of passing. It touches src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs (new handle_callback_completed, a callback_completed flag on evaluate_timeout, two call-site updates), src/runtime/test_runner/bun_test.rs (two on_callback_completed hooks and the wrapper), and adds five subprocess fixtures in test/js/bun/test/test-test.test.ts.

Security risks

None. No untrusted input, no auth/crypto/permissions surface. The change reads a timestamp and writes an enum on a runner-owned struct.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is the test runner's verdict machinery — heavy unsafe pointer aliasing over UnsafeCell, and a user-visible pass→fail semantic change. An earlier revision of this PR did introduce a real pass→fail regression (judging at queue-drain time instead of completion time), which I flagged and the author fixed; the new fixture covers it. That history alone argues for a maintainer sign-off on the final shape.

Other factors

• All five prior review threads (mine and the comment lint's) are resolved. The one intentionally-unfixed sibling — sequential done(err) past deadline still printing plain (fail) — is unchanged from main, still a failure, and documented as landing via #39112 which restructures that block.
• Test coverage is good: five fixtures cover sequential, concurrent-with-sibling (busy loop and spawnSync), done-callback (timer and synchronous), and the regression guard for a sibling blocking after a completed test. The author reports 5 consecutive clean debug runs plus the broader test-runner suite.
• CI failures on the last two builds are all test/cli/install fetches from api.github.com returning 429/503 — unrelated to the diff.
• The unsafe in the new function follows the file's existing pattern exactly (get_current_and_valid_execution_sequence returning NonNull into self.sequences, deref at point-of-use with a SAFETY comment), and handle_uncaught_exception immediately below is the same shape.

Rebased onto main (4400766). The only conflict was with #39570, which made RefDataValue Copy and removed the .clone() calls on the two lines where this PR inserts on_callback_completed; the resolution keeps the new calls and main's by-value forms, so the diff against main is otherwise identical to what was reviewed. The empty retrigger commit was dropped in the rebase. The first rebase target (85c8983) did not build because of the bun_css dependency main had lost at that point, which #39586 has since restored, so the branch is rebased onto that instead. On the rebased debug build the five fixtures fail 4/5 with main's runner sources swapped in (the fifth is the one that must pass) and pass 5/5 with the fix, and the related runner suites pass. Build 100814 is running. The CodeRabbit notices above are its own rate limit and need nothing here.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR across several iterations and the current revision addresses everything raised (stdout drain, the completion-time vs. processing-time regression, and the done(err) edge deferred to #39112). No bugs found on this pass. Because it changes user-visible timeout semantics in the test runner — including how concurrent siblings are attributed when one blocks the event loop — a human look at the semantic call would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• handle_callback_completed reuses get_current_and_valid_execution_sequence, so stale/mismatched completions are filtered the same way step filters them.
• The callback_completed flag on evaluate_timeout only suppresses the ...WithDoneCallback hint variants; junit/debugger/summary consumers already treat those identically to the plain timeout results.
• The fifth fixture guards the pass→fail regression the earlier revision introduced; the 300ms-vs-100ms margins keep the outcomes scheduling-independent.
• bun_test_catch (is_catch=true) still reaches on_callback_completed after on_uncaught_exception, so a rejected promise past deadline gets FailBecauseTimeout (overwriting the Fail/Pass set by handle_uncaught_exception), matching the stated precedence.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR adds Execution::handle_callback_completed (called from the promise-resolution and done() handlers via BunTest::on_callback_completed) so that a test callback's deadline is checked at the moment the callback finishes, not only by the separate timeout timer. It threads a callback_completed: bool through ExecutionEntry::evaluate_timeout so the "before its done callback was called" hint is only produced by the timer path where done() really is still pending. Five subprocess fixtures in test/js/bun/test/test-test.test.ts cover sequential/concurrent × sleepSync/busy-loop/spawnSync, plus the done() variants and the sibling-blocks-after-completion guard.

Security risks

None. This is verdict computation inside the test runner; no untrusted input, no I/O surface changes, no auth/crypto.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. The test runner is a critical path for every user of bun test, and this changes pass/fail attribution: tests that previously (incorrectly) passed after synchronously blocking past their deadline will now fail, and in a test.concurrent group a test whose resumption is delayed past its deadline by a sibling's synchronous block will also be reported as timed out. The PR argues this is the honest interpretation (the printed duration already exceeds the timeout, and on main the outcome was scheduling-dependent), which is reasonable, but it is a semantic decision a maintainer should ratify. The Rust side is small and follows the file's existing NonNull/unsafe-deref patterns exactly.

Other factors

• All four prior review threads are resolved. The one remaining known gap (sequential done(err) past deadline still prints plain (fail)) is not a regression, still fails the test, and is documented as covered once #39112 restructures that block.
• CI is reported green on the re-run (build 100047); earlier failures were GitHub 429/503 on unrelated install tests.
• The description notes one-line signature conflicts with open PRs #38153 and #39089 that also touch evaluate_timeout — worth a maintainer being aware for landing order.
• The implementation is careful about the exact concern I raised on the earlier revision: the deadline is now sampled at completion arrival (Timespec::now_force_real_time() inside handle_callback_completed), not at queue-drain time, and the fifth fixture pins that.

[robobun]

Another user report of this bug: #45192 (part 2 of that issue). On 1.4.3, await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 10)); Bun.sleepSync(7000) passes under the 5 s default. The first half of that issue (a preload default timeout that applies to the first file only) is fixed by #39235.

Decision needed

@Jarred-Sumner this PR needs a ruling before it can merge. It changes the verdict of tests that pass today, and no maintainer has said that it must.

Commit 7b6e388 on #44833 (reverted by 2705a15 for other reasons) had this test:

"a test that blocks past its timeout after a timer still passes"
// child: await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1)); spin(200);   with a 100 ms timeout
// expected: { interrupts: 0, counts: [" 1 pass", " 0 fail"], exitCode: 0 }

This PR reports the same test as timed out after 100ms. The question has four parts.

1. Does a test or hook that completes after its timeout fail? The docs say "Tests that exceed it fail" (docs/test/runtime-behavior.mdx). Main already fails it when the callback blocks without an await, and when the timeout timer runs before the completion. Vitest 5.0.5 fails it. Jest 30.5.2 and Node 26.3.0 pass it.
2. For every import? This PR gives the same verdict to bun:test, @jest/globals, vitest and node:test. bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 says "When Vitest and Jest disagree, you get the behavior of the module you imported from". Main has no record of the importer, so a rule per module needs bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 first. I can exempt node:test in this PR if it must follow Node.
3. Also when the test is late only because something else held the thread? That is a test.concurrent sibling that blocks, or a callback that an earlier test left running. The runner cannot tell whose code held the thread. Main already times such a test out when it reads a file, and passes it when it waits on one timer.
4. Before or after bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833? Against e0ec02c this PR conflicts in 7 hunks (5 in Execution.rs, 2 in bun_test.rs). Without the message and duration changes it is 1 hunk. I can also rebase onto bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 after it lands and route the verdict through its abort_signal and report_around_timeout calls.

If the answer to part 1 is no, I close this PR and correct the docs instead. #46213 waits on parts 1 and 3.

[claude]

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the "stale now" comment in Execution::step: after advance_sequence clears executing, the only pre-refresh reader of now (the already-executing branch of step_sequence_one) is unreachable, and new deadlines are armed from the real clock in on_entry_started, so the seeded arrived_at value is not compared. The QueuedResult change and the new advance_sequence/evaluate_timeout parameters are wired through every call site (Collection::step takes .data; all four advance_sequence and three evaluate_timeout callers updated).

Extended reasoning...

This push reworks the test-runner timeout verdict to judge entry completions by the arrival timestamp stamped in BunTest::add_result, touching Execution.rs and bun_test.rs plus docs and tests; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Three inline findings remain (child processes not killed on the arrival-time verdict, a retry-path late-completion race, and sync/async verdict divergence for late throws), and the prior concurrent-sibling objection at Execution.rs:787 is still open, so a human look is still needed.

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

Two review threads here reported that a callback that throws late gets a timeout on the synchronous path and its own error on the asynchronous path (claude, coderabbit). This PR does not change that.

The record for it is #44833 (comment). It has the repro, the first release with the split (1.2.23), and the two results that a fix must keep. #44833 rewrites the statement, so the fix will be written against that branch.
