What does this PR do?

Preserve Windows device prefixes when splitting module queries. The question mark in \\?\ belongs to the path; treating it as a query delimiter truncated filenames during resolution, loading, plugin callbacks and native-addon dispatch.

The shared splitter skips the device-prefix question mark and leaves the full resolved key intact. Ordinary and namespaced drive paths retain Node's distinct CommonJS cache entries, including relative children and createRequire() parents. Canonical, forward-slash and mixed-separator addon override keys remain unchanged.

The default CommonJS UNC error path also matches Node 24.21. Node's realpath walker probes the partial \\?\UNC\ root for an existing namespaced UNC module, producing EISDIR from lstat with path UNC. Bun previously discarded the directory-open failure and returned MODULE_NOT_FOUND. After a resolution miss, the recovery path uses the existing resolver to confirm the ordinary UNC module exists, including extension and package-main lookup, then preserves the actual root-lstat error. Successful resolutions and resolver override results are unaffected; missing modules still report MODULE_NOT_FOUND.

Ordinary UNC paths and file-URL createRequire()/imports retain their normal loading and cache behavior. The test fixtures define a CommonJS package boundary so Node's separate ancestor-package lookup does not obscure filesystem resolution. Bun's existing require(fileURLString) extension and general ESM/CommonJS query identity behavior are unchanged.

Related: #41929 strips queries before deriving referrer directories; #34582 concerns short Unicode inputs to toNamespacedPath(). Node 24.21 is needed for the drive oracle because nodejs/node#65378 fixes its earlier namespaced-drive-root error. Adapted from openclaw/bun#127 by Peter Steinberger.

How did you verify your code works?

Native Windows Server 2025 x64 debug builds from upstream 39bbb7182cf9eb31a3328195b4198012946f8b9a:

node --test test/js/node/module/module-resolve-filename-paths.test.js
bun bd test test/js/node/module/module-resolve-filename-paths.test.js test/js/bun/plugin/plugin-namespace-drive-letter.test.ts
  • Node 24.21: all 17 module cases pass with a drive temporary root and again with a real SMB UNC temporary root.
  • Unpatched main: 10 passed / 9 failed in the module/plugin selection. Patched: 19 passed / 0 failed.
  • Patched UNC module selection: 17 passed / 0 failed, including exact EISDIR/lstat/UNC fields for existing namespace requests, extensionless/package requests and relative createRequire calls, plus MODULE_NOT_FOUND controls for missing files.
  • Tests cover ordinary/file-URL cache identity, nested modules, plugin importer spelling and all seven native-addon override spellings without loading a real addon.

bun run rust:check-all passed all 12 targets, including Windows x64 and ARM64.

Native ARM64 was not run; the changed Windows implementation has no architecture-specific branch.

Post-AOT adaptation and verification

Rebased onto main 11c367163a4baa77d3627d14764c376c856a630a. The C++ compiled-module refusal check now shares the namespace-aware path splitter, while retaining the compiled-addon bypass. The new Windows compiled regression checks the actual outside-image refusal message.

Main's native Windows files reproduce one plugin failure and eight module failures. Its compiled control reports MODULE_NOT_FOUND without the required refusal message. Candidate a8fe9234141da02fd5bb6d541a7ae83d8dff68a3 passes both complete native Windows files: 3 plugin tests and 17 module tests, including compiled/AOT coverage.

The Linux release build and full touched files pass (1 pass/2 platform skips and 6 pass/11 platform skips). The complete Windows x64 release cross-build passes, and bun run rust:check-all reports 12 ok, 0 failed, 0 skipped. Binary revisions match the candidate. Independent P0-P2 review is scoped-clean. Native ARM64 was not run.

Current-main rebase validation

Rebased onto upstream main 2596ac5d391d47804c93a42bdbe615804aa62387 after the AOT rewrite. The shared namespace-aware splitter now feeds the compiled-module refusal check while preserving both upstream exemptions for test addons and files embedded in the executable. The complete regression files are unchanged.

Both files were rerun natively on Windows x64 with official canary 1.4.4-canary.1+2596ac5d3, using only the tests and fixtures, without a Bun source checkout: plugin tests 1 passed / 2 failed, module-path tests 9 passed / 8 failed. These reproduce the namespace-key and compiled-refusal bugs; the compiled control reports MODULE_NOT_FOUND without the required refusal message.

Candidate 5b90ae1266fd9944157a4580f100a94ade5f09f6 passes a Linux release build, both full files with expected Windows-only skips (1 plugin pass / 2 skips; 6 module passes / 11 skips), and an equivalent compiled AOT addon-refusal program. The full Windows x64 release cross-build passes. bun run rust:check-all passes all 12 targets, zero failures and zero skips; Clippy has no new diagnostics versus the same main baseline. Debug code generation, Rustfmt, Prettier, independent P0–P2 review, and git diff --check pass.

For this rebase, the candidate was not built or run natively on Windows, native ARM64 was not run, and the real-SMB-share checks were not repeated. The Windows canary run used drive temporary paths. Native candidate and SMB results above are historical and are not claimed for this head.

Walkthrough

Windows module resolution now handles query suffixes in namespaced paths and adds recovery for certain namespaced UNC resolution errors. Tests cover CommonJS loading, plugin importers, file URLs, createRequire(), native addons, and cache behavior.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 5b90a

Remaining risk is limited to Windows namespaced modules: import metadata can identify the wrong file, and module mocks can fail or return incorrect exports. Mergeability depends on accepting these bounded compatibility gaps or correcting them first.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f89e9

The inspected changes preserve path identity without an identified privilege increase or loading-policy bypass. Real native-addon initialization and Windows network-share failure behavior remain only partially validated.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A caller able to supply module requests can cause additional filesystem resolution and stat probes for namespaced UNC failures. On Windows, UNC access may involve network filesystems under the host process's permissions. Conversion preserves the supplied UNC remainder rather than introducing a separate server or share. Successful native-addon loading remains an in-process code-execution capability, as with ordinary addon paths.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Normal plugin resolution precedes the internal resolver path. UNC confirmation does not recursively invoke plugin callbacks or load the confirmed module. Newly recognized namespaced addon keys still enter the existing native loader, whose allowAddons check runs before operating-system library loading; that host-loader implementation is unchanged in the PR comparison.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The native loader can execute addon registration callbacks before CommonJS cache insertion. Its registration replay and cleanup mechanisms predate this PR. The new tests verify successful repetition with a dlopen stub, but do not establish behavior during real reentrant initialization, interruption, or native registration failure.

Explanation

The title names the two main themes of the changeset: keeping the Windows \?\ namespace prefix in module keys, and the UNC resolution error behavior. Both match the raw summary and the PR objectives, so the title is specific and accurate.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has both required sections, 'What does this PR do?' and 'How did you verify your code works?', and both are filled in with specific content: the module key fix, the Node 24.21 UNC error parity, the affected files, and detailed test runs on Windows. It is long and includes rebase history, but every required section is complete and clear.

Rebased onto current main. The stacked Linux debug/ASAN build and Linux-compatible namespace/UNC selection pass (1 pass; 11 Windows cases skipped). All 12 Rust target checks pass; the combined stack includes the #42469 signature adapter. Windows runtime behavior was not re-verified for this rebase.

Minor · Use moduleKeyPathLength when splitting specifier. · ImportMetaObject.cpp:95

src/jsc/bindings/ImportMetaObject.cpp:95
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use moduleKeyPathLength when splitting specifier.

On Windows, createRequire() preserves an absolute \\?\ path and passes it into the CommonJS module filename. When that module uses the sixth wrapper argument, ImportMetaObject::createFromSpecifier receives the namespaced path. specifier.find('?') then splits it at index 2, which produces an incorrect import.meta.url, path, and dir.

Use the path-aware index and keep the no-query branch intact.

🐛 Suggested fix
-    auto index = specifier.find('?');
+    auto index = moduleKeyPathLength(specifier);
     URL url;
-    if (index != notFound) {
+    if (index != specifier.length()) {

Detect the query after the Windows device prefix

For a query-free Windows namespaced .js key, originalModuleKey appends &actual. The loader can then return a path-string module instead of the original JavaScript exports. Use moduleKeyPathLength to select the delimiter.

Suggested fix

-    return makeString(specifier, specifier.contains('?') ? '&' : '?', "actual"_s);
+    return makeString(specifier, moduleKeyPathLength(specifier) == specifier.length() ? '?' : '&', "actual"_s);

Preserve the namespace in mock import-chain entries.

If a mock factory imports a query-qualified namespaced CommonJS helper, a query-free createRequire filename can miss importChainWithoutQuery. A require of the running mock can then select the mocked key and fail with an async-module-required error.

Use the namespace-aware path length in addToImportChain:

Suggested fix

-    if (size_t query = key.find('?'); query != notFound)
+    if (unsigned query = moduleKeyPathLength(key); query < key.length())
         running.importChainWithoutQuery.add(key.left(query));

Test query-qualified namespaced addon keys.

Add a query-suffixed key to the override coverage. Assert that the module ID and cache key retain the suffix, while process.dlopen receives the query-free filename. The current cases would not detect a regression that passes the suffix to process.dlopen.
