Problem

• On canary and debug builds, a WebSocket client of /_bun/hmr can damage the dev server's timer heap: send sM, wait 1 s, close. Canary builds then drop an unrelated setTimeout. Debug builds abort with panic: assertion failed: self.root == v (src/io/heap.rs:165).
• The cause is DevServer::emit_memory_visualizer_message_timer (src/runtime/bake/DevServer.rs:5524), an empty stub. It leaves the popped timer node marked ACTIVE, so the next remove() discards the heap root.

Fix

• The tick handler sets FIRED, publishes the M frame and arms the timer again, like SourceMapStore::sweep_weak_refs.
• Verified: three new tests in test/bake/dev/hot.test.ts. Main fails all three.
• Self-reviewed: 4 notes raised, 3 addressed. Rejected: one shared test server (each test needs its own counts).

Background

• M is the memory visualizer HMR topic of canary and debug builds. Each subscriber gets one frame per second.
• The event loop pops a due EventLoopTimer from its heap, then calls the handler. The handler must set FIRED or insert the node again.
• Revives bake: re-arm the memory visualizer timer when it fires #37936. Two tests here cover the on_unsubscribe counter fix that Stop HMR websocket frames from aborting or crashing the dev server #33196 merged with no test.
• Considered a handler that only sets FIRED. It stops the damage, but subscribers get one frame.

Downsides

• With an M subscriber, the dev server sends a 45-byte frame each second. Nothing in the tree reads it.
• A socket that dropped M still gets the frame while another socket holds M (4 frames in 3.3 s, 1 on main). Cause: the unreachable else if in the subscribe handler.
• Release binary: +216 bytes of code (canary), +8 bytes (stable). Same file size.

Notes

Reach

• Canary and debug builds only (BAKE_DEBUGGING_FEATURES is IS_CANARY || IS_DEBUG). A stable build never arms the timer.
• There is no user report. Nothing in the tree subscribes to M or v: Narrow crate-internal Rust visibility across all targets and delete the code it proves dead #36184 removed the routes for the two visualizer pages and Remove dead code from bun-uws, the native BufferList class, built-in JS, the bake dev server assets, the shell, and the SQL crates #40066 deleted the pages. The topics stay reachable for any client that can open a WebSocket to the dev server.
• The damage does not stop at one timer. Each later remove() of the stale node discards the heap root again.

State of main (29d9638)

• The counter line of on_unsubscribe is correct on main since Stop HMR websocket frames from aborting or crashing the dev server #33196 (merged 2026-09-22). It reads emit_memory_visualizer_events.
• The tick handler is still the empty stub.

The way to the damage that is open on main

One socket sends sM, waits more than 1 s, then closes. The stub tick leaves the popped node ACTIVE. on_close -> on_unsubscribe -> All::remove then runs on a node that is not in the heap. All::remove trusts state, and the heap's remove reads the missing links of the node as "this node is the root".

The second way, closed on main by #33196

Socket A sends sv. Socket B sends sM and closes. With the old counter the timer stayed armed with no M subscriber, and the next sM ran All::update on the popped node. One socket that sends sMv, sv, sM aborted a debug build with panic: assertion failed: dev.memory_visualizer_timer.state != EventLoopTimerState::ACTIVE (hmr_socket.rs:123). On a release build of 367d939 (canary config, before #33196) this way still drops a timer (4/5, 3 of 3 runs). On main 29d9638 and on this branch it is clean. The third test keeps it closed.

Binary size

Release builds on linux-x64, base main 29d9638. Tools: size -A and nm -S on bun-profile. bloaty is not installed.

Config	Code bytes (sum of symbol sizes)	Section sizes, file size
canary	+216 (emit_memory_visualizer_message +1269 out of line, HmrSocket::on_message -1239, __bun_fire_timer +186)	same, 80995912 bytes
stable	+8 (__bun_fire_timer 3959 to 3967)	same, 80995912 bytes
stable, handler without the flag check	+1755	.text +2048

• The handler checks BAKE_DEBUGGING_FEATURES before it publishes, as the Zig handler did. Only an M subscription arms the timer, and that hook is behind the same flag. Without the check the dispatch arm keeps emit_memory_visualizer_message in a stable binary, where it cannot run.
• I added the check after the self-review.

Cost of one tick

• One tick calls emit_memory_visualizer_message. That is the function the subscribe hook calls for each sM on main. It allocates one 64 KiB buffer, calls memory_cost_detailed(), reads the process and system memory numbers, and publishes one frame.
• Frame size in the fixture: 45 bytes. Measured gaps between frames: 1000 ms, 1000 ms, 1000 ms.
• The syscall count per tick is not measured. strace is not installed in the build container.

History

• The Zig handler published the frame, set .FIRED and called timer.update. The Rust body sat behind a cargo feature that nothing enabled. Narrow crate-internal Rust visibility across all targets and delete the code it proves dead #36184 deleted that body and left the stub. The subscribe hook that arms the timer stayed live.
• The wrong counter in on_unsubscribe was the same in the Zig version.

Shape

• DevServer::arm_memory_visualizer_timer and disarm_memory_visualizer_timer replace the inline runtime_state() copies in hmr_socket.rs and the copy in Drop. The handler takes the raw timer pointer and recovers the owner with from_timer_ptr, like sweep_weak_refs, so the dispatch arm no longer forms a &mut EventLoopTimer that aliases the &mut DevServer.
• Apart from the flag check, the src hunks are the same text as the hunks in bake: consolidate the open robobun dev-server, HMR runtime, production build and router fixes #39488.

Overlap with open PRs

• bake: consolidate the open robobun dev-server, HMR runtime, production build and router fixes #39488 carries this change and is CONFLICTING.
• timer: remove unsafe from the timer module #40187 sets FIRED in the dispatch arm and makes the heap refuse a remove() of an unlinked node. That is the fix for the whole class. It keeps the stub empty. It is CONFLICTING.
• bake DevServer: remove unsafe from DevServer.rs and dev_server/* #40255 rewrites on_unsubscribe and keeps the stub empty.
• Each of them has a mechanical rebase of about 10 lines after this PR, or this PR after them.

Tests

• "ticks while subscribed and unsubscribes without disturbing other timers": three M frames (the third needs the second arm), at least 1.5 s after the start. Then a /tick route backed by a 20 ms setInterval in the fixture must answer before and after the subscriber closes. The test subscribes once more at the end and leaves that socket open, so the harness teardown runs Drop with the timer armed.
• "stays armed while another subscriber remains": two M subscribers and no v holder. One closes. The other must keep its frames.
• "is disarmed with its last subscriber while the incremental visualizer is held": sMv, sv, sM on one socket, then the same through the close path with three sockets. The close path does not wait for a tick. On a debug build with the old counter, its last subscription aborts with the assert at hmr_socket.rs:123.
• Each test needs its own server. The first and third need the M count to reach zero, the second needs no v holder, and all three read counters that belong to the whole DevServer.
• Debug build with the src of main 29d9638: 0 pass, 3 fail (timed out while waiting for memory visualizer frame #3).
• bun bd test test/bake/dev/hot.test.ts on this branch: 14 pass, 0 fail. bun bd test test/bake/hmr-socket-protocol.test.ts: 4 pass, 0 fail.
• Before Stop HMR websocket frames from aborting or crashing the dev server #33196, a debug build with the tick fix and the old counter: the first test passed, the second timed out after one frame, the third aborted with the assert at hmr_socket.rs:123.
• A release build (canary config) of this branch with the old counter line: the second test fails (timed out while waiting for memory visualizer frame #3), the first and third pass. So on release lanes the second test covers the counter line, and only a debug build can fail the third test for the counter.
• The tests are inside a canary-or-debug check. A stable build accepts the subscription and never sends a frame.

Not in this PR

• emit_memory_visualizer_message_if_needed and emit_visualizer_message_if_needed stay empty. bake: consolidate the open robobun dev-server, HMR runtime, production build and router fixes #39488 restores both together with the visualizer pages.
• The unreachable else if in the subscribe handler (hmr_socket.rs:133 on this branch). A dropped topic is never unsubscribed at the uWS level. It is the subject of bake: unsubscribe the HMR socket from topics dropped by a re-subscribe #37878, which bake: consolidate the open robobun dev-server, HMR runtime, production build and router fixes #39488 also carries, and it gets its own PR.
  • It is in every build. On the released 1.4.2, a socket that sends sh and then s still receives a hot update frame for each edit (["u","u","u"] for three edits, [] if it never subscribes).
  • Effect of this PR on it: socket A sends sM, then s. Socket B sends sM. On release builds in canary config, A receives 4 M frames in 3.3 s on this branch and 1 on main 29d9638.
  • The fix changes what every topic does on every build, so it does not belong in a change for canary and debug builds.

Walkthrough

DevServer now owns the memory-visualizer timer controls. HMR subscriptions arm and disarm the timer, and the timer callback checks the bake debugging feature flag before emitting and rearming. New tests cover timer frames and subscription lifecycle cases.

Changes

Memory Visualizer HMR

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Timer lifecycle and dispatch src/runtime/bake/DevServer.rs, src/runtime/dispatch.rs	DevServer adds methods to arm and disarm the timer. The callback uses a raw timer pointer, marks the timer fired, checks the bake debugging feature flag, and emits and rearms when enabled. Drop uses the disarm method, and dispatch passes the timer pointer to the callback.
HMR subscription control and coverage src/runtime/bake/dev_server/hmr_socket.rs, test/bake/dev/hot.test.ts	The first memory-visualizer subscriber arms the timer, and removal of the last such subscriber disarms it. Tests cover emitted frames, multiple subscribers, topic changes, socket closure, and re-subscription.

Status

• Rebased onto main 29d9638. Stop HMR websocket frames from aborting or crashing the dev server #33196 merged the counter line of on_unsubscribe, so this PR now carries the tick handler, the two helpers and the tests.
• Reproduced on main: one socket sends sM, waits 1 s and closes (script in the Notes of the PR body). A release build of main in canary config prints M frames: 1; user timers fired: 4/5 in 3 of 3 runs. A debug build of main aborts with panic: assertion failed: self.root == v at src/io/heap.rs:165.
• On this branch the script prints M frames: 2; user timers fired: 5/5 in 3 of 3 runs. bun bd test test/bake/dev/hot.test.ts: 14 pass, 0 fail. With the src of main: 0 pass, 3 fail for the three new tests.

[claude]

I reviewed this and didn't find any bugs. Because it touches the intrusive timer heap through unsafe pointer recovery and the description names four overlapping open PRs (#39488, #40187, #40255, #33196) that each carry a different subset of the fix, a maintainer should confirm this is the shape to land.

What was reviewed:

• The tick handler sets FIRED before emit_memory_visualizer_message and re-arms via update(), matching SourceMapStore::sweep_weak_refs; disarm guards on state == ACTIVE so it's a no-op after a pop.
• The on_unsubscribe guard now reads emit_memory_visualizer_events; the tick's debug_assert!(emit_memory_visualizer_events > 0) holds because unsubscribe disarms synchronously on the JS thread before the event loop can pop it.
• dispatch.rs no longer forms a &mut EventLoopTimer that would alias the recovered &mut DevServer — the raw pointer is passed through and from_timer_ptr does container-of.
• Tests wire error/close to reject the awaited step, use a WAIT_MULTIPLIER-scaled deadline instead of bare sleeps, and are gated behind isDebug || -canary. with a stated reason.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR implements the previously-stubbed DevServer::emit_memory_visualizer_message_timer tick handler and fixes a wrong-counter bug in the HMR socket's on_unsubscribe path. In src/runtime/bake/DevServer.rs two new helpers (arm_memory_visualizer_timer, disarm_memory_visualizer_timer) centralize the timer-heap update/remove calls, replacing three inlined copies (subscribe, unsubscribe, Drop). The tick handler now takes *mut EventLoopTimer, recovers the owning DevServer via the existing impl_timer_owner! from_timer_ptr container-of, marks the popped node FIRED, publishes the M frame and re-arms — the same shape as SourceMapStore::sweep_weak_refs at src/runtime/bake/dev_server/source_map_store.rs:621. src/runtime/bake/dev_server/hmr_socket.rs swaps the disarm guard from emit_incremental_visualizer_events == 0 to emit_memory_visualizer_events == 0. src/runtime/dispatch.rs passes the raw pointer instead of forming a &mut that would alias the recovered &mut DevServer. test/bake/dev/hot.test.ts adds ~200 lines: an openVisualizerSocket helper and three devTest cases covering re-arm-after-fire, unrelated-timer-not-disturbed, stays-armed-with-second-subscriber, and disarmed-with-last-M-subscriber-while-v-held.

Security risks

None. This is a debug/canary-only diagnostic timer (BAKE_DEBUGGING_FEATURES) with no user-supplied data flowing into the changed code. The unsafe block dereferences a pointer produced by container-of arithmetic on an intrusive EventLoopTimer node the event loop just popped; provenance is established by EventLoopTimerTag::DevServerMemoryVisualizerTick and the SAFETY comment states the invariant. No auth, crypto, network parsing, or user input validation is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-to-high. The logic change itself is small and follows an already-merged sibling pattern line-for-line, but it sits in native code that manipulates an intrusive pairing heap through unsafe pointer recovery — REVIEW.md's most-blocked category. I checked the invariants: the tick's debug_assert!(emit_memory_visualizer_events > 0) cannot fail because unsubscribe runs on the same JS thread and disarms before the event loop can pop; arm uses update() which is safe on a FIRED node (the subscribe path already relied on this); disarm early-returns on non-ACTIVE so Drop and the last-unsubscribe are idempotent. The dispatch change removes a &mut EventLoopTimer that aliased the &mut DevServer recovered inside the callee — a correct fix for the src/CLAUDE.md pointer-provenance rule.

Other factors

The tests are well-constructed against the review rules: added to the existing module file, condition-awaited with every failure event (error, unexpected close) rejecting the awaited step, deadline scaled by WAIT_MULTIPLIER, the one time-based assertion is a lower bound (safe under load), and the feature-gate exclusion carries a WHY comment. The PR description verifies fail-before/pass-after with USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 and with the tick fix alone. What tips me to defer rather than approve is the stated overlap with four open PRs that each land a different slice of this fix (one of which, #40187, hardens the heap remove() for the whole class) — which shape merges is a maintainer call, not something an automated review should pre-empt.

[claude]

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

Beyond the inline note, I also checked the timer state machine around the new handler: re-arming after the event loop pops the node goes through All::update, which skips remove() because the state is now FIRED and then inserts fresh, so no stale-node removal; the unsubscribe refactor in hmr_socket.rs is behavior-preserving because disarm_memory_visualizer_timer early-returns unless the state is ACTIVE; and timer_heap() resolves to the same RuntimeState::timer the removed inline runtime_state() code used, so the helper extraction does not change which heap is touched.

Extended reasoning...

The change replaces an empty timer callback in src/runtime/bake/DevServer.rs with one that sets FIRED, publishes the M frame under BAKE_DEBUGGING_FEATURES, and re-arms, and extracts arm/disarm helpers used by hmr_socket.rs and Drop; the dispatch arm signature changes accordingly and three devTests are added. It touches unsafe intrusive timer-heap code but no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface. The inline finding is a test wall-clock nit; the raw-pointer recovery via from_timer_ptr mirrors the existing SourceMapStore pattern and the FIRED/update/remove interplay checks out against src/runtime/timer/mod.rs.

[robobun]

95ee86a takes the review note: the close path of the third test no longer waits for a tick, which saves about 1 s per run of hot.test.ts. This push changes no file under src/.

The first test keeps its two ticks, and the second test keeps its + 2. Both waits are necessary. The reasons are in the review thread and in the comments next to the waits.

🟡 Minor · Unsubscribe removed HMR topics from the socket. · hmr_socket.rs:133-137

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Unsubscribe removed HMR topics from the socket.

When BAKE_DEBUGGING_FEATURES is enabled and a socket changes from Mv to v, the else if condition is identical to the preceding if. It never calls ws.unsubscribe. on_unsubscribe only decrements the memory-visualizer count. If another socket remains subscribed to M, the new timer callback can continue publishing M frames to the socket that removed M.

The full PR comparison changes the timer callback from a no-op to an emitting, repeating callback. The stale transport subscription existed before this PR, but the recurring unwanted frames are introduced by this change.

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

• 🟣 src/runtime/bake/dev_server/hmr_socket.rs — pre-existing, widened by this PR: a canary/debug HMR client that drops M from its topic set keeps receiving an M frame every second while any other socket holds M. The else if at hmr_socket.rs:133 repeats the if condition, so ws.unsubscribe at hmr_socket.rs:137 never runs and the uws subscription outlives the topic set. On base only one stray frame per new sM reached such a socket; with the re-armed tick it is one per second. Fix: make the branch !new_bits.contains(bit) && self.subscriptions.contains(bit) so every topic a socket narrows away from is unsubscribed at the uws level too.

  Why this was flagged

  Trigger: socket A sends sM (timer armed at hmr_socket.rs:127); socket B sends sM then s (or sv). B's second message runs the loop at hmr_socket.rs:109-139: the subscribe branch is skipped and the else if at hmr_socket.rs:133 has the identical condition new_bits.contains(bit) && !self.subscriptions.contains(bit), so ws.unsubscribe at hmr_socket.rs:137 is unreachable. on_unsubscribe at hmr_socket.rs:281 only decrements emit_memory_visualizer_events; B stays a uws subscriber of the M topic. The new tick handler at src/runtime/bake/DevServer.rs:5541-5553 now publishes to that topic once per MEMORY_VISUALIZER_TICK_MS (1000 ms) and re-arms, so B receives an M frame every second for as long as A is subscribed. On the base branch the stub handler never re-armed, so B only saw a frame when some socket sent a fresh sM. The comment at hmr_socket.rs:134-136 already notes the condition is unreachable; nothing else in src/runtime/bake calls ws.unsubscribe.

  Verification: nit (pre-existing defect in untouched code, widened by this PR; canary/debug builds only, and only for a WebSocket client that first subscribed M then narrowed its topic set while another socket still holds M). Mechanism verified: /home/claude/bun/src/runtime/bake/dev_server/hmr_socket.rs:107 if new_bits.contains(bit) && !self.subscriptions.contains(bit) and :133 `} else if… | pre-existing…

[robobun]

Both reviews point at the unreachable else if in the subscribe handler (hmr_socket.rs:133). I checked the finding against this branch and against main.

• The finding is correct. A socket that drops a topic keeps its uWS subscription, because ws.unsubscribe never runs.
• Effect of this PR: a socket that dropped M receives the tick frame while another socket holds M. On release builds in canary config it receives 4 frames in 3.3 s on this branch, and 1 frame on main 29d9638.
• The defect is not specific to M or to canary builds. On the released 1.4.2, a socket that sends sh and then s still receives a hot update frame for each edit (["u","u","u"] for three edits, [] if it never subscribes).

I keep the fix out of this PR. This PR changes canary and debug builds only. The fix for the unsubscribe branch changes what every topic does on every build. It also has its own failure (#37878 reports assertion failed: ref_count > 0 in put_or_increment_ref_count on a debug build) and its own test. It goes in a separate PR that revives #37878. The Downsides section of this PR now lists the stray M frames.

If a maintainer prefers the one-line fix in this PR, it is the line that #39488 carries:

} else if !new_bits.contains(bit) && self.subscriptions.contains(bit) {

[robobun]

The stale subscription that the reviews here flagged (a socket that dropped M keeps receiving the frame while another socket holds M) is handled in #43995. That PR changes only the else if condition of the Subscribe handler and adds its test to test/bake/hmr-socket-protocol.test.ts. A test merge of the two heads has no conflict, so the two PRs can merge in either order.

This fix went in with #46021, which is merged. Closing.
