What does this PR do?

The url polyfill has fileURLToPath, pathToFileURL, domainToASCII and domainToUnicode commented out of its exports, and has no urlToHttpOptions or URLPattern. So in a bun build --target=browser bundle:

import { fileURLToPath } from "node:url";
fileURLToPath("file:///a/b");
// TypeError: fileURLToPath is not a function

This adds all six, following lib/internal/url.js in Node.js.

  • fileURLToPath: the posix and { windows: true } forms, UNC hosts included (an xn-- host is decoded, as in Node.js), with the same ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME, ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_HOST, ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_PATH and ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE errors.
  • pathToFileURL: posix. Node.js encodes the path in native code, so I measured which code points it percent-encodes (the WHATWG path set plus % [ \ ] ^ | ~) and match that. { windows: true } needs path.win32.resolve, which the path polyfill does not have ("only the posix part"), so it throws ERR_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE_ON_PLATFORM instead of returning a wrong URL.
  • domainToASCII: Node.js runs the WHATWG hostname setter on ws://x through ada, which is why "a/b" gives "a" and "a:80" gives "". Browsers have the same setter, so it is used directly. The setter ignores an input it rejects rather than throwing, so it runs from two starting hosts: a rejected input leaves each unchanged.
  • domainToUnicode: that host with its xn-- labels decoded, as ada's to_unicode does.
  • urlToHttpOptions: copied from Node.js, including the null prototype.
  • URLPattern: globalThis.URLPattern, the same way the file exposes URL and URLSearchParams.

Why the punycode decoder and posix resolve are inline. build-fallbacks.ts removes leading import{...} statements from each built polyfill (while (outfile.startsWith("import{"))), so importing ./punycode.js or ./path.js would leave those bindings undefined at run time. I checked that the built url.js contains no import or require.

fileURLToPathBuffer is left out: it returns a Buffer, which would need that import.

Overlapping PRs. #42092 rewrites this file's export block, and #28752 and #33426 edit urlFormat and the slashed-protocol table. None of them add these functions. #42092 will conflict textually on the export block with whichever lands second; the resolution is to keep both sets of names.

How did you verify your code works?

Compared against Node.js v24.12.0's own node:url, calling each function the same way in both:

  • 245 checks on src/node-fallbacks/url.js imported directly: 49 domain inputs (IDN, xn--, fullwidth, ß, percent-encoded, /, :, IPv6, empty, non-strings) through both domain functions; 26 file URLs, each with no options, windows: false and windows: true; 47 paths through pathToFileURL, including every printable ASCII special character, tab/newline/DEL, non-ASCII and relative paths; and 12 URLs plus bad inputs through urlToHttpOptions. Errors compare by class and code. 0 divergences.
  • Ran build-fallbacks.ts with bun 1.4.2 and repeated the comparison against the built url.js: 0 divergences. This is the check that would have caught a stripped import.

Added browser/NodeUrlFileAndDomain to test/bundler/bundler_browser.test.ts. Its expected stdout is the output of the same code under Node.js, not the polyfill's own output; I checked both print identical lines.

I did not run bun bd test, which needs Bun built from source. Formatted with the repo's prettier@3.6.2 and .prettierrc.

…ions to the url polyfill

The url polyfill left fileURLToPath, pathToFileURL, domainToASCII,
domainToUnicode and urlToHttpOptions commented out of its exports, so in a
`bun build --target=browser` bundle `fileURLToPath(...)` threw "fileURLToPath
is not a function". URLPattern was missing too.

Add them, following lib/internal/url.js in Node.js:

- fileURLToPath: the posix and `windows: true` forms, including UNC hosts and
  the ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME, ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_HOST and
  ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_PATH errors.
- pathToFileURL: posix, percent-encoding the same code points as Node.js.
  `windows: true` needs path.win32.resolve, which the posix-only path
  polyfill does not have, so it throws ERR_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE_ON_PLATFORM
  rather than returning a wrong URL.
- domainToASCII: Node.js runs the WHATWG hostname setter on `ws://x`, which
  is why "a/b" gives "a" and "a:80" gives "". The same setter is used here,
  from two starting hosts, because it ignores a rejected input instead of
  throwing.
- domainToUnicode: that host with its xn-- labels decoded (RFC 3492).
- urlToHttpOptions: unchanged from Node.js, null prototype included.
- URLPattern: globalThis.URLPattern, like URL and URLSearchParams.

The punycode decoder and posix resolve are written out rather than imported
from the sibling polyfills, because build-fallbacks.ts strips a leading
`import` from each built polyfill. fileURLToPathBuffer is left out: it
returns a Buffer, which would need that import.

…'s error text

- ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_PATH carries the parsed URL as `input`, as in Node.js,
  at all three throw sites. ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_HOST does not, and still
  does not.
- ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_HOST names process.platform when there is one, and
  "browser" otherwise. The process polyfill has no platform, so copying Node's
  template would print "undefined".
- pathToFileURL's non-string error names "path", as Node.js v24 does.
- Strings in an ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE message are quoted, as in Node.js.
- The bundler test also checks `input` and both URLPattern bindings.

…ent.cpp (#45764)

### Problem
- 29 lines in 6 files have no user.
- `source_file`, `compare_types` and `symbol_to_string` in the
`queries!` list of `src/lint/types/mod.rs` have no caller. The list
generates the only call of the `Services` functions of the same names in
`bun_sema`. The trait is `pub`, so rustc does not check it.
- `BunProcess.cpp` declares five `using X = JSC::X;` aliases that it
never names. `DirEntType` in `NodeDirent.cpp` has three enumerators that
nothing names.

### Fix
- Delete the three list lines with their `Services` functions (21
lines), the five aliases and the three enumerators.
- Correct because a word search over the sources, the tests and the
generated code finds no user, and the workspace compiles for 12 targets.
- Verified: `bun bd`, `bun run rust:check-all`, `cargo check --workspace
--all-targets`, 8 test files (Notes).
- Self-reviewed: 41 concerns raised, 33 addressed. Rejected: a
`pub(crate)` narrowing of `Queries` (`resolve_name` needs a caller
first), and a hold until earlier sweeps merge.

### Background
- `queries!` lists each question that a lint handle (`Type`, `TsSymbol`)
can ask the type checker. One line generates a `Queries` method and a
forwarding call to `Services` in `bun_sema`.
- `BunProcess.cpp` compiles as its own unit with `using namespace JSC;`,
so the aliases change no name lookup.
- A deletion of unreferenced code has one possible place, so no other
design was weighed.

### Downsides
- A later lint handle that needs one of the three queries must restore
it.
- None found for users. Checked: the heads of all 5,559 open pull
requests, 12 targets, the tests in Notes.

Behaviour change: none
<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Removed**
- `src/lint/types/mod.rs`: the `queries!` lines `source_file`,
`compare_types` and `symbol_to_string`. No call of these names has a
`Queries` receiver. The calls that exist go to other functions:
`Checker::compare_types` and `Checker::symbol_to_string` in `bun_sema`,
a private `compare_types` in `prefer_optional_chain.rs`, and the
parser's `source_file`. With `Queries` made crate-private in a scratch
edit, rustc reports `resolve_name` as the only query left that is never
used.
- `src/sema/check/services.rs`, `services/types.rs`,
`services/symbols.rs`: `Services::source_file`,
`Services::compare_types`, `Services::symbol_to_string`. The generated
forwarding call was the only user. What they call (`Files::by_path`,
`Checker::compare_types`, `Checker::symbol_to_string`,
`Checker::prop_to_string`) keeps other callers.
- `src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp`: the aliases `Exception`,
`JSModuleLoader`, `JSModuleRecord`, `SourceOrigin`, `JSNonFinalObject`.
None of the names appears in the rest of the file. The same block in
`Path.cpp` and `ZigGlobalObject.cpp` is left to #43378 and #42431.
- `src/jsc/bindings/NodeDirent.cpp`: the enumerators `Whiteout`, `Door`
and `EventPort` of `DirEntType`, all equal to `Unknown`. No C or C++
file names them.

**Open pull requests**
- Compared at 2026-10-17 16:40 UTC on main 017b243 with the heads of
all 5,559 open pull requests, drafts and every author included.
- 156 of them touch a file of this diff (151 touch `BunProcess.cpp`). A
trial merge of each with main and with this branch (`git merge-tree`)
shows that the branch adds a conflict to none.
- None deletes one of these lines. None adds a use of a removed name:
the added lines were searched for the three query names, the five alias
names in `BunProcess.cpp`, and the three enumerators.

**Found dead in this run, and left alone**
- Already gone on main: three lines in `JSSQLStatement.cpp` and
`NodeSqlite.cpp` (#45304).
- Another open pull request deletes or rewrites them: 13 commented-out
lines in uSockets, uWS, `JSEventTargetCustom.cpp` and
`src/node-fallbacks/url.js` (#45709, and #43730 for `url.js`), two
typedefs in `InspectorHTTPServerAgent.cpp` (#45725), the
`BUN_WEBKIT_VERSION` fallback in `BunProcess.cpp` (#41729), a
commented-out line in `src/js/internal/html.ts` (#45682).
- An open pull request uses them: `Event::currentTargetIsInShadowTree()`
and the `MediaTime` overload of `JSConverter<IDLUnrestrictedDouble>`
(#45415).
- Held by an earlier sweep for a reason that still holds: the QUIC
setters `scid_len` and `delay_onclose` (#43976, and #40220 changes the
line above them).
- `resolve_name`, the fourth query with no caller. tsgolint's
`prefer-readonly` calls `ResolveName` and Bun's port does not, which
gives a wrong autofix for a global enum. The fix is handed off and needs
the query. After it, `Queries` can become `pub(crate)`, and rustc then
guards the list.
- Mirrors of typescript-eslint and tsgolint: the write-only fields
`ThenCall::on_fulfilled`, `FinallyCall::on_finally`,
`BaseTypeOfClassMember::base_type` and `heritage_token`,
`TargetElement::is_shorthand`, with `TsNode::token` (as #45402 held
them). Also 33 functions from macro lists in `src/lint/types/` that
nothing calls, and `File::expr_tags_in_tree`.
- Debugging aids: 25 hand-written `Debug` impls in `bun_lint`, 5 in
`bun_format`, and `Display` for `Difference`, `FilePoll` and `Part`.
- Handed off: the plugin `target` value that nothing reads
(`BundlerPlugin::target`, three more members, a parameter of
`JSBundlerPlugin__create`, and the Rust enum). Its removal changes an
FFI signature.
- Needs a decision: `PerformanceResourceTiming` cannot be constructed,
so `ResourceTiming.cpp`, `NetworkLoadMetrics.cpp` and `ServerTiming.h`
are reachable only from its getters.

**How the candidates were found**
- Ten text searches, one for each area: `src/js`, the C++ bindings
(three parts), uSockets and uWS, the build scripts, the side packages,
the three new crates, and commented-out code.
- A relink of the debug build with `-Wl,--gc-sections`, with each
dropped function mapped to its source line by `llvm-nm -l`: 517 C++
functions and 607 Rust function lines. Almost all are Windows or macOS
code, release-only code, or are deleted by an open pull request.
- For `bun_sema`: `pub` narrowed to `pub(crate)` on each item that no
other crate names, in a scratch tree. rustc reported nothing new.
- For 39 trait impls that the linker drops: delete all, compile for
linux, windows and darwin and with `--all-targets`, put back each impl
that an error names. What stayed deleted is a debugging aid.

**Tests, debug build of this branch** (with `--timeout 600000`, because
the lint and check tests need more than the default with a debug build)
- `test/cli/lint/conformance.test.ts`: 3 pass.
- `test/cli/lint/rules.test.ts`: 16 pass.
- `test/cli/lint/native-rules.test.ts`: 166 pass.
