docs, bun-types: correct 20 examples that do not run as printed - #44480
20 examples in docs/ and packages/bun-types/ throw, do not end, or show another value when you run them as printed.
Three fail in real programs. sink.flush() returns an ArrayBuffer, so data.subarray(wrote) throws TypeError: data.subarray is not a function under backpressure. A second hasher.digest() returns the hash of no data. await proc.exited on a bash PTY does not resolve.
In each case the runtime agrees with the types or a sibling text. The example is wrong.
Fix
Edit the printed lines only. No file under src/ changes.
Each new line is the output of a run, or the smallest change that makes the example run. See the Notes.
Verified: a script extracts each edited example and runs it as printed. 39 of 39 checks pass on a debug build of main at 2596ac5. The TCP sample passes tsc.
Background
CryptoHasher.digest() resets the hasher. A later digest() covers only the data passed to update() after the reset. The page did not say so.
ws.subscriptions follows the order of a std::set<Topic *> (packages/bun-uws/src/TopicTree.h:65). That order depends on allocation addresses, not on the order of the subscribe() calls.
dlopen("z") opens a file named z. The example now uses `z.${suffix}`, as the args example above it does, so the C block built as z.so loads.
The PluginBuilder.onStart example (bun.d.ts) is not in this PR. It needs a decision between a text repair and a runtime onStart.
Notes
Each row: where, what the printed example did on a run, and what the page says now.

sink.flush() returns an ArrayBuffer. data.subarray(wrote) throws. The sample also fails tsc with 3 errors: flush() is declared as number | Uint8Array | ArrayBuffer for every set of options.
asUint8Array: true in sink.start(), and sink.flush() as Uint8Array. The rest goes back into the sink (llo of hello with a socket that takes 2 bytes). tsc reports 0 errors.
socket.reload({ socket: { data() {} } }), as bun.d.ts declares it.

[^:-]+ runs past }. parseConfig(connections) throws SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Expected '}' on the page's own database.yaml. Without the ${DB_PASS} lines the defaults keep their dash (-localhost, -5432). An environment value with " or \ also makes JSON.parse throw.
/\${([^:}]+)(?::-([^}]*))?}/g gives localhost, 5432 and an empty password. The callback escapes the environment value, so DB_PASS='p"ss\word' gives that password.
docs/runtime/hashing.mdx:251-262
digest("hex") after digest("base64") gives e3b0c442..., the hash of no data.
One sentence on the reset. update() before each digest(). Both printed values come out in page order.
docs/runtime/hashing.mdx:265-271
digest(arr) runs after a digest() that reset the hasher. The array holds the hash of no data (227, 176, 196, 66, 152), not the printed 185, 77, 39, 185, 147.

dlopen('z') opens a file named z. The C block built as z.so does not load.
`z.${suffix}`. With the C block built as z.so the example prints 1.0.0.
Other facts:
The returns example of ffi.d.ts keeps its own C block. A form with the system zlib (libz.${suffix}, zlibVersion) throws Failed to open library "libz.so" on a Linux host that has no zlib development package.
The branch is rebased on main at 2596ac5, and the 39 checks ran again there on a debug build. Earlier runs: 1.4.3-canary (367d939) and debug builds of main at bc7a813 and 3bf1a06, with the same results.
The tsc check of the TCP sample used tsc 6.0.2, the tsconfig.json of bun init, and the types of this branch. The sample got one added line for the check: declare const socket: import("bun").Socket;.
The new Bun.Terminal example ends with exit code 0 in every run. In some runs it ends before its data callback receives hello (1 of 40 runs on the release build). That is the race that spawn: drain pre-created terminal on child exit before resolving proc.exited #35851 addresses: Bun does not drain a terminal that the caller created when the child exits.
The async fetch correction of docs/runtime/http/websockets.mdx is on main already, so it is no longer part of this PR.
Seen during verification, not changed here:
The JSDoc of the stream option of ArrayBufferSink.start() (bun.d.ts:2499) says that flush() returns a Uint8Array. It returns an ArrayBuffer unless asUint8Array is set.
hasher.digest() returns a Buffer. docs/runtime/hashing.mdx:248 shows Uint8Array(32) [ ... ].
Status: ready for review. The branch is rebased on main at 2596ac5.
How the examples were checked: a script extracted each edited example from its file and ran it as printed on a debug build of main at 2596ac5. 39 of 39 checks pass. The TCP buffering sample also passes tsc. The Notes in the description list the result for each item.
CI: in build 138782, 184 of 188 jobs passed and none failed. The other 4 are macOS x64 test jobs that wait for an agent. Format, Lint JavaScript and TypeScript types pass.
Examples and explanations changed for build artifacts, terminal input, hasher resets and output buffers, TCP socket reloads and sinks, and YAML placeholders.
Bun API examples packages/bun-types/bun.d.ts
Examples changed for JSON MIME types, WebSocket event handling, terminal input, and synchronous glob scanning.
Shell API examples packages/bun-types/shell.d.ts
Base64 examples now use echo hello; examples for returned buffers, blobs, and bytes show byte contents or sizes.
Other API reference examples packages/bun-types/ffi.d.ts, packages/bun-types/serve.d.ts, packages/bun-types/sqlite.d.ts, packages/bun-types/test.d.ts
The FFI library name, subscription ordering example, raw SQLite result sizes, and several test matcher examples changed.

Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is detailed and follows the repository template. It covers both required sections. The 'What does this PR do?' content appears under '### Problem', '### Fix', and '### Background', and it explains the scope: 20 printed examples in docs/ and packages/bun-types/ are corrected, with no changes under src/. The 'How did you verify your code works?' content is covered by the Fix section and the Notes table. The Notes table lists each edited location, the observed behavior before the change, and the replacement text. The verification is specific: a script extracts and runs each example as printed, 39 of 39 checks pass on a debug build of main at 2596ac5, and the TCP sample passes tsc with 0 errors. The description also states what is out of scope: the PluginBuilder.onStart example is excluded, and the ArrayBufferSink.start() JSDoc issue and the hashing.mdx:248 Buffer/Uint8Array mismatch are noted but unchanged. Minor gaps: the description uses 'Verified' and 'Notes' headings that are not in the template, and the Notes section is long. Neither gap prevents a reviewer from deciding on the change. The description also mentions the exact commit, toolchain versions, and related issues, which helps reproduction.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
LGTM — docs and JSDoc example corrections only; the new printed outputs line up with the implementation, and the one inline note is a pre-existing nit in an example rather than something this change introduced.
Extended reasoning...
The diff touches six docs pages and six .d.ts files, editing only example snippets and their printed output; no runtime code, tests, or security-sensitive surface changes. I checked the new BuildArtifact inspect shape against src/runtime/api/JSBundler.rs (hash printed only when non-zero, no sourcemap key on sourcemap artifacts) and the 8-character hash alphabet in src/bun_core/fmt.rs, confirmed the YAML page's own database.yaml uses the ${VAR:-default} form the new regex requires, and grepped docs and bun-types for stale copies of the old outputs (none remain; the one leftover glob.scan() is the async overload with for await). None of the added JSDoc lines contain */, so the .d.ts files remain parseable. The remaining inline finding and the two ruled-out candidates are nits in example text, so a human look is not needed before merging.
