Problem

• Bun.build can link an import that is not a module to a module with the same path text, with success: true. A wrap-a-package plugin prints var foo_pkg_default = { wrapped: foo_pkg_default };. Others print __INVALID__REF__ or assert !ref_.is_empty().
• patch_import_record_source_indices (src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:7539) asks the path map about every import record. The key is path text, and an external or a builtin still holds its specifier.
• No plugin is needed: bun build a.js b.js --external <abs a.js> inlines a.js, and tsconfig paths can pick the wrong file.

Fix

• resolve_import_records stores a module path with ImportRecord::set_module_path, which sets the new PATH_IS_MODULE flag. PathToSourceIndexMap::get_record answers only for flagged records. Two dev server lookups test the flag too.
• All seven stores use the setter. So does the dev server's unlink of a failed stylesheet, with the key of the failure.
• Verified: 29 new cases (bundler_plugin, bundler_barrel, bundler_edgecase, bundler_files, bake/dev/plugins, bake/dev/css, bake/dev/bundle), 26 fail on main.
• Self-reviewed: 21 concerns raised, 21 addressed.

Background

• resolve_import_records stores a new module's path in the record. The pass sets source_index from the path map.
• Weighed: the clear in bundler: keep an import external when onResolve returns { external: true } without a path #35053 (2 of 5 repros), marks on non-module arms (one forgotten mark relinks by text), a namespace key (bundler: key PathToSourceIndexMap on (namespace, path) for plugin module identity #36549, another defect).
• Open bundler: print path-matched file externals relative to the output file #42034, bundler: key modules by (path, loader) so one file under two import attributes is two modules #41834, Fix use-after-free of BuildMessage.position.file: real lifetimes for Source, Path, ImportRecord and resolve results #46834, bundler: resume the shared resolve pass for imports that went to onResolve plugins #45408, dev server: give each resolved import record the path of its file #42741 touch these lines.

Downsides

• Not fixed: a plugin module and a file with one path text are one module (v1.2.22-v1.3 file resolution problem in custom plugin #22685, bundler: key PathToSourceIndexMap on (namespace, path) for plugin module identity #36549).
• One flag test per import record. Probes: 7,994 → 1,999 on a 2,000-module build.
• A deleted stylesheet that a plugin resolves stays linked (dev server: fail the importers of a file that was not there to read #46983).

Notes

How it was found. No issue reports this. A self-review of #35053 found it. That PR cleared source_index in the external arm of on_resolve, which repairs only the case where a plugin answers external. #35053 drops that clear and keeps only its { external: true } without a path change.

Shapes. A probe with 20 shapes gives wrong output for all 20 on main (release 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9), 18 of them with success: true and no log. On this branch none is linked by text. The shapes:

• an import that the external option, packages: "external", a plugin answer, or a plugin decline followed by the external option keeps external
• a builtin with target bun (node:fs has the path text fs), a .sqlite import, an https: specifier
• a require() that fails inside try/catch, and a path that the browser map disables
• a second importer of a real package: its correct link was overwritten (SameTextModule_SecondImporterOfRealPackage prints real x virt on main)
• a barrel record that is un-deferred later, export *, import()
• a redirect file (module.exports = require(x)): with a plugin answer for x, two importers of one file got two different modules

esbuild 0.21.5 keeps the import external in the wrap-a-package shape and in the plugin-free shape.

Race. external: ["react"] plus a plugin module virt:react, with no gate on the order: 35 of 120 builds print __INVALID__REF__ on main, 0 of 120 on this branch.

Measurements. LTO release builds of main at 620b50f and of this change on top of it.

• Pass path map probes (gdb hit count at the probe call, 3 runs each, the same count every run): a generated 2,000-module tree with --target=bun 7,994 → 1,999. bun build scripts/build.ts --target=bun 309 → 69. lodash-es 4.17.21 through import * 2,303 → 645.
• Pass loop per record (objdump count, checked with gdb stepi over the 309 records of scripts/build.ts): a record without the flag runs 8 instructions and no call. Before, every record ran 12 plus PathToSourceIndexMap::get, 108 to 228 in total, mean 132.7. A record with the flag that is stored runs 2 more than before (187 to 230).
• resolve_import_records: six orb $0x8,0x56(reg) for the seven stores. 2,850 → 2,863 instructions.
• The flag was at 1 << 19 in the measured builds. 1 << 22 is in the same byte of the flags word, so only the mask of each orb and testb differs (0x40 for 0x8). The release builds were not made again for it.
• Scan path call targets: +0 new, allocator calls +0 (objdump call target diff over the pass, resolve_import_records, on_parse_task_complete, resolve_barrel_records and schedule_barrel_deferred_imports). The last one has 2 fewer calls and one more bounds check.
• size_of::<ImportRecord>(): 96 B → 96 B. ImportRecordFlags bits used: 19 → 20 of 32.
• Code size (nm -S, size): pass 1,613 → 1,627 B. resolve_import_records 14,359 → 14,267 B. on_parse_task_complete 18,001 → 17,985 B. resolve_barrel_records 1,139 → 1,139 B. schedule_barrel_deferred_imports 9,282 → 9,138 B. bun text 88,976,431 → 88,976,943 B.
• On a debug build of this change on main at 449877f (2026-10-26), gdb hit counts: 2,001 generated modules (2,000 that import three node: builtins and the next module, and an entry), bun build entry.js --target=bun. 8,000 records reach the lookup of the pass, and 2,000 of them are probed. Main probes each record that reaches the lookup.
• No wall-clock claim. valgrind, perf and bloaty are not in the container.

Deleted. PathToSourceIndexMap::get_path and the PathLike trait. get_record replaces their three callers, and get_path(&record.path) is the call this PR removes. Three open PRs add new callers (see Related open PRs).

The seven stores. In resolve_import_records: the FileMap queue arms (queued, new), the dev server cached file arm (asset, other), the dev server map hit, and the resolver queue arms (queued, new). Every other module outcome writes source_index directly and keeps the specifier in path, so the flag stays off and the pass does not probe it again. An eighth store is in finish_from_bake_dev_server (see Dev server).

Not fixed.

• Module identity across namespaces. In v1.2.22-v1.3 file resolution problem in custom plugin #22685 a plugin module dyn:/abs/test.dummy imports the file /abs/test.dummy. That import does resolve to a module, and the map has one key for both, so the wrapper still imports itself (var test_default = import.meta.resolve(test_default);) on main and on this branch. bundler: key PathToSourceIndexMap on (namespace, path) for plugin module identity #36549 is the PR for that.
• The pass still does one probe for each queued module. The branch robobun/98024376/link-import-records-from-resolve removes the loop: resolution queues a link for each record that imports a queued module. Its author measured 56,001 → 24,000 module table and resolve queue probes on a 2,000-module fixture. That is a follow-up, not part of this PR.
• In the dev server, a CSS @import that an onResolve plugin resolved is stored under its specifier. An edit of the real file then does not rebuild the stylesheet that imports it. This is on main: process_css_chunk_import_records takes its key from the record, not from the linked source. It is in progress as its own change.
• A page starts to link a stylesheet that another root @imports, in the bundle in which that stylesheet fails. After the repair, a debug build panics with only CSS roots should be found by tracing on the next request for the page. Main and this branch do the same, for href="b.css" and for href="./b.css".

Dev server. The dev server has two lookups of its own by the path of an import record: the edge attachment in IncrementalGraph::process_edge_attachment and the import list in DevServer::generate_javascript_code_for_html_file. On main, a plugin marks an import external with the path of a file that another route bundled, and the route gets that file: the other route's stylesheet is linked in the page, or the other route's script is in the client bundle. Both lookups now skip an unlinked record without PATH_IS_MODULE. A record with a source_index is looked up as before, because on_resolve and run_resolver link by index and do not set the flag. The two tests in test/bake/dev/plugins.test.ts fail on main. The first one and the report of this output come from the branch robobun/98024376/link-import-records-from-resolve, as does edgecase/TsconfigPathsTargetIsNotReplacedByTheModuleAtTheSpecifierPath.

Failed stylesheet in the dev server. finish_from_bake_dev_server removes the source_index of an import whose stylesheet failed in the bundle. A record that was linked by index has only the written text as its path. The edge attachment then skipped it, and the page lost its stylesheet: it answered 200 with no link tag, and it had no link tag after the stylesheet was repaired. That unlink now calls set_module_path (7e681ef). Since e14cd97 it stores Path::init(path.text), not the whole path (the next paragraph has the rule). test/bake/dev/css.test.ts has four cases for it. Without the store all four fail on this branch. On main, href="./main.css" and an import that a plugin resolved fail, and href="main.css" and href="/main.css" pass. So the store repairs two cases that the new check of this PR broke, and two that fail on main.

The rule for a stylesheet that is not a file (e14cd97). The unlink stores Path::init(path.text) of the failed stylesheet, not its whole path. The dev server files a parse failure under path.text in every namespace, and the edge from the importer must reach that key. The graph key of a path of a plugin namespace is its pretty form (virtual:virtual.1.css), so the whole path missed the failure: a page with a syntax error in such a stylesheet answered 500, then 200. Main answers 500, 500 when the specifier is the path that the plugin returned, because the written text is then the failure key.

• The case a page keeps the build error of a stylesheet that a plugin loads from a namespace has an html link, a script import, and a script import whose specifier is not the plugin's path. On main at 8971677 the first two answer 500, 500 and the third answers 500, then 200. On this branch all three answer 500, 500. The seven cases of this kind in dev server: give each resolved import record the path of its file #42741 pass on this branch too.
• A store for stylesheet files only does not repair it. The edge attachment skips an unlinked record without the flag. With that variant all three answer 500, then 200.
• Not changed: a failure that onLoad throws is filed under the graph key. With the specifier as the plugin's path, the lookup key is the one main uses, and this branch answers 500, then 200.
• dev server: mark a failed stylesheet under an html or script import as a css root #47062 removes the unlink and files every failure under the graph key. If it lands first, this store is deleted at the rebase.
• The store has one loss against main, in the dev server. A [serve.static] plugin's onResolve returns the path of a .css import and does not look at the disk, and the stylesheet is deleted. The file then has no chunk and no failure. The unlink stores its path too, and the edge binds the node of the last build. The page keeps the link and the old rules (3 of 3 layouts). Main at 8971677 drops the link, as a fresh server does. After a typo and then the delete, the page keeps one <link> that answers 404 (3 of 3). With BUN_ASSUME_PERFECT_INCREMENTAL=1 it stays at 500.
• One order with an alias plugin aborts a debug build of this branch with only CSS roots should be found by tracing: a stylesheet drops its @import of a file, the file is deleted, and a script then imports it through the plugin (8 of 8 runs, main 0 of 8).
• dev server: mark a failed stylesheet under an html or script import as a css root #47062 has the same loss. dev server: fail the importers of a file that was not there to read #46983 ends it, because it fails the importers of a file that was not there to read. On a merge of this head with dev server: fail the importers of a file that was not there to read #46983 at 886f53e, 0 of 12 delete rows differ from a fresh server, and the order does not abort (8 runs). These are debug builds on Linux x64.

Related open PRs. Whichever lands second rebases, with these rules:

• bundler: print path-matched file externals relative to the output file #42034 adds a lookup that is also named get_record, with a guard of the other polarity. bundler: key PathToSourceIndexMap on (namespace, path) for plugin module identity #36549 and Carry import attributes through the parser, printer, bundler and runtime; add the bytes loader #40836 rewrite the probe line.
• Fix use-after-free of BuildMessage.position.file: real lifetimes for Source, Path, ImportRecord and resolve results #46834 (it replaces Real lifetimes for Source, import records and resolver results #44493) rewrites six of the seven stores in resolve_import_records as a plain import_record.path = .... The stores keep set_module_path.
• bundler: resume the shared resolve pass for imports that went to onResolve plugins #45408 adds AT_ON_RESOLVE_PLUGINS and tests it on the probe line. After this PR a record that is at the plugins has no PATH_IS_MODULE, so get_record(record) skips it and that flag can go.
• dev server: give each resolved import record the path of its file #42741 copies the source path to linked records of scripts and stylesheet files in the same loop of finish_from_bake_dev_server. The store at the unlink stays: it sets the flag, and for a stylesheet of a plugin namespace it stores the failure key.
• dev server: fail the importers of a file that was not there to read #46983: Noted::is_bound can test the flag. report_importer must remove the flag where it puts the specifier back in record.path.
• dev server: keep one import record for each import statement #46742 deletes dedup_fallback. After it surviving_record has no caller and goes away. dev server: keep a barrel's requests across builds, or never defer it again #46648 deletes persist_barrel_export, which this PR only spells again.
• bundler: resolve imports that end in a ?query #42491 and bundler: resolve files imports through the shared steps (HTML import manifest, url assets) #38605 edit the FileMap and resolver stores. The key rewrite of bundler: resolve imports that end in a ?query #42491 belongs in the argument of set_module_path.
• bake: bind each production entry point to its graph node, not to its position #46804, test --changed: follow HTML imports and every copy of a changed file #46262 and test --changed: bind test files to the module graph by position, not by path #46583 call get_path, which this PR deletes. They merge with no conflict and then do not compile. Each needs .get(path.text), which compiles before and after this PR.
• bundler: bundle a file once per requested loader instead of once per path #37476 (closed) had the pass-side skip first, with record.loader.is_some() as its marker.

Flag bit. PATH_IS_MODULE is 1 << 22 of ImportRecordFlags. The last flag on main is IS_BARREL_DEFERRED = 1 << 18. Other open PRs add flags at the next bits: 12 PRs at 1 << 19 (11 different names, #43911 is one of them), #46216 at 1 << 20 and #46579 at 1 << 21. No open PR has a flag at bit 22 or above. That is from src/ast/import_record.rs at the head of each of the 5,854 open PRs on 2026-10-26. So a conflict in that block with #43911, #46216 or #46579 is a conflict of position only, and the right resolution is to keep both lines. The flag has a bit of its own because two flags with one value compile with no error and no warning, and each then reads as the other. #35053 is stacked on this PR and shows the same line until this PR merges.

Barrel code in the dev server. HMR marks a duplicate import of one specifier as unused, so it is never resolved. The barrel code found its target through the path text of the surviving record. It now uses the surviving record itself, through the same lookup. A surviving record that is linked by index counts too. On main its duplicate requested nothing from the barrel: with an onResolve plugin that declines barrel-lib, the module of a second import { Beta } from 'barrel-lib' was not in the bundle. test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts has that case. The key of persist_barrel_export is as before (open in #46648).

Suites run. On the debug build of this branch with main at 57fe602 merged in: bundler_plugin (82 pass), bundler_barrel (71 pass), bundler_edgecase (191 pass), and all of test/bake (272 tests in 26 files). In that test/bake run, 13 tests of dev/production.test.ts and dev/react-spa.test.ts reached the default 5 s timeout of the ASAN debug build. With a longer timeout both files pass (21 of 21 and 10 of 10), and each of those tests takes 5 to 8 s. On the release build used for the measurements, before the dev server change: all of test/bundler (8,260 tests in 106 files, 0 fail) and all of test/bake (207 tests, 0 fail). test/bake/dev/incremental-graph-edge-deletion.test.ts failed 6 of 28 runs on the ASAN debug build at that time: a hot reload arrived after the test cleared its message list. On the release builds it passed 20 of 20 with and without this change. On a debug build of this change on main at 449877f (the same src/ apart from the flag bit): all of test/bundler with --timeout 180000, 9,270 tests in 108 files, 8,623 pass and 4 fail. The four are timeouts of heavy tests on that build: Bun.build can be called thousands of times in one process without crashing, and three bytecode tests. They were not compared with a debug build of main. test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-html*.test.ts and regression/issue/29264: 59 pass, 2 skip. On the final head: bundler_files, bundler_barrel and bundler_plugin (182 pass), bake/dev/bundle, bake/dev/css and bake/dev/plugins (83 pass).

Fail before (2026-10-26). A debug build of main at 57fe602 with the tests of this branch: all 14 SameTextModule cases, the barrel case, the three edgecase cases and the two bake/dev/plugins cases fail. Two of the four css cases fail. plugin/SameTextModule_BarrelUnDeferAnsweredExternal replaced a case that passed on main: the build reports success there, the output has __INVALID__REF__, and it prints undefined undefined. On the final head: bundler_plugin (82 pass), bake/dev/css (22 pass), bake/dev/plugins (5 pass).

A test for each lookup (2026-10-26). Four lines had no case that fails without them. Each has one now, and each case fails on a build with only its line turned back:

• the export * target lookup in on_parse_task_complete: barrel/ExternalExportStarIsNotATargetOfModuleWithSameText
• record_target in the dev server: an external import with the path of the barrel requests nothing (bake/dev/bundle)
• the dedup_fallback filter: two import statements from a barrel that a plugin declined (bake/dev/bundle)
• the FileMap store for a file that is already queued: in-memory file imported twice by one file (bundler_files)

The first three fail on main at 3396aea. The fourth passes on main. So three of the 29 cases pass on main: that one, and the href="main.css" and href="/main.css" css cases, which fail on this branch without the store at the unlink.

Merge of main (2026-10-26). The merge changes no behavior of this PR. #45489 moved generate_javascript_code_for_html_file to src/runtime/bake/dev_server/render.rs, and the check moved with it. The other two conflicts were edits of main next to the changed lines, in process_edge_attachment and in the dev server cached asset arm.

Status: open, waiting for review.

How it was reproduced: 26 of the 29 new cases fail on main and pass here. They are the 14 plugin/SameTextModule_* cases in test/bundler/bundler_plugin.test.ts, two barrel cases in test/bundler/bundler_barrel.test.ts, three cases in test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts, one in test/bundler/bundler_files.test.ts, two dev server cases in test/bake/dev/plugins.test.ts, five in test/bake/dev/css.test.ts, and two in test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts. The three cases that pass on main are two css cases and the bundler_files case. Each fails on this branch without the store it guards: the css cases when the dev server does not store the path of a failed stylesheet, and the bundler_files case when the FileMap store for a queued file does not set the flag.

Two of the cases need no plugin. bun build a.js b.js --external <absolute path of a.js> inlines a.js on main when b.js imports it by that path. With a tsconfig paths entry, an import that resolves to b.js gets a.js when its specifier is the path of a.js.

This PR is the stale link half of #35053. That PR keeps only { external: true } without a path.

CI on the head e14cd97 (build 135927): the red tests are test/aot/engine/ir-6.test.ts and test/aot/build-scaling/build-scaling-2.test.ts. Both are red on other branches too, for example in builds 135924 and 135918. This PR does not touch the AOT compiler.

Walkthrough

Import records now mark when their paths contain resolved module paths. Bundler and dev-server lookups use that marker, and barrel HMR selects surviving records. Regression tests cover collisions between plugin-resolved paths and other imports.

Changes

Bundler import resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Mark resolved module records src/ast/import_record.rs, src/bundler/PathToSourceIndexMap.rs	ImportRecord gains PATH_IS_MODULE and set_module_path. The path map now accepts import records and returns a source index only for records with that flag.
Propagate resolved module paths src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs	Resolution and cached asset paths use set_module_path. Source-index and export-star lookups use import records.
Resolve barrel requests through surviving records src/bundler/barrel_imports.rs, test/bundler/bundler_barrel.test.ts	The HMR fallback maps original specifiers to record indices and selects surviving records for barrel requests. A regression test covers an external re-export and a plugin module with matching path text.
Filter dev-server imports src/runtime/bake/dev_server/incremental_graph.rs, src/runtime/bake/dev_server/render.rs, test/bake/dev/plugins.test.ts	The incremental graph and HTML generator skip imports without a valid source index when their paths are not marked as module paths. Tests check that external routes do not include another route’s stylesheet or script.
Validate resolution collisions and external entries test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts, test/bundler/bundler_plugin.test.ts	Regression tests cover external entry points, path-text collisions, delayed resolution, plugin externalization, redirects, and barrel re-resolution.

[claude]

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

Beyond the inline finding, I also audited the sibling sites: the remaining raw import_record.path writes in src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs (the bun/node builtin alias arms near 6650-6683, the external rewrite at 7054, the plugin "external with rewritten path" arm at 5431) are all non-module outcomes, and the writes at 2202 and 2644 run after the scan with source_index already set, so none needs the flag. The dedup_fallback condition change in src/bundler/barrel_imports.rs only broadens the set to plugin-linked records (valid source_index) and drops external rewrites that could never hit the map, and surviving_record reproduces the old survivor lookup and persist key. A human look at the scan-phase ordering (seven set_module_path stores vs. the dev-server cached-file branch) is still worthwhile given how central resolve_import_records is.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds a PATH_IS_MODULE import-record flag and routes every scan-phase path-map lookup by record through a gated get_record, touching src/ast/import_record.rs, src/bundler/PathToSourceIndexMap.rs, src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs and src/bundler/barrel_imports.rs, plus 17 new hermetic itBundled tests. It touches no security-sensitive surface. One pre-existing dev-server barrel persist-key finding is posted inline; the rest of the diff (sibling raw path writes, the dedup_fallback refactor, the asset-branch struct update) checked out as behavior-preserving or intentionally unflagged, but the bundler scan loop is core, ordering-sensitive code that warrants a maintainer look.

Persist the resolved target path, not the import specifier.

If a plugin resolves an import to a module, src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs can set the record’s source_index without replacing its original path (Lines 5465-5469). record_target then accepts that index, but this call registers the export under ir.path.text, which can still be the specifier. Later requests keyed by the resolved module path will not find the persisted export. Obtain the persistence key from the selected target’s source path instead.

On the outside-diff finding for src/bundler/barrel_imports.rs:562 (persist the barrel export under the target's path): the finding is right about the key, and it is not new in this PR.

• main passes the same text. There the call is persist_barrel_export(&dev, resolved_path_text, alias), and resolved_path_text is the record's path.text. This PR passes ir.path.text. For a record that on_resolve or run_resolver links by index, both are the specifier.
• The reader is apply_barrel_optimization, which looks the requests up by the barrel's source path. So that entry is never read, on main and here.

The fix is to persist under the target module's source path, with a dev server test for an incremental build. It is a separate defect from the path map probes in this PR, and it is in progress as its own change. This PR keeps the key as it is.

I built a fix for the same bug on another branch before I saw this PR: robobun/98024376/link-import-records-from-resolve. It deletes the by-path loop. resolve_import_records queues a link for each record that imports a queued module, and process_resolve_queue writes it. That is the follow-up the Notes of this PR describe. This PR covers the bug, so I will not open that branch as a PR.

Three things from that work can help here:

• Two tests this PR does not have, in test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts on that branch: edgecase/TsconfigPathsTargetIsNotReplacedByTheModuleAtTheSpecifierPath (no plugin, no external) and the CLI variant of edgecase/EntryPointIsExternalFileImportedByAbsolutePath. Both fail on main.
• A wrong output from the dev server lookup. The body says no wrong output was found for incremental_graph.rs:1014. DEV:plugins-4 in test/bake/dev/plugins.test.ts on that branch fails on main: a route whose script has a plugin-external import gets the stylesheet of another route when the two paths are equal. This PR leaves that lookup as it is on main, so I expect the same result here. I did not run it on this branch. The gate on my branch tests only the flag. That is not enough for a record that is linked by index, as the Notes here already say.
• Numbers for the loop deletion, for whoever picks it up. Fixture: 2,000 modules with 32,000 import records, base 5f5799e. Module table and resolve queue probes per build: 56,001 → 24,000 (gdb hit counts). process_resolve_queue plus the pass for one file with 16 records: 30,488 → 26,836 instructions (gdb stepi, release build). Output sha256 is identical for lodash-es and express.

One hazard if the loop goes: an HTML file that server-side code imports is registered in the browser graph, so its importer must not be linked from the resolve queue slot. An in-memory HTML file (files) showed it: the build failed with No matching export. The branch has a test for it (edgecase/InMemoryHtmlFileImportedByServerSideCode).

Merged main (8a0e49e) into this branch.

• src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs: in resolve_import_records, main (98a4365, Fix use-after-free of BuildMessage.position.file: real lifetimes for Source, Path, ImportRecord and resolve results #46834) removed path_as_static, interned_slice and detach_lifetime from six stores of import_record.path. This PR changes the same stores to import_record.set_module_path(..). The resolution keeps set_module_path at each store, with the value expression of main.
• src/bundler/barrel_imports.rs: this PR changes dedup_fallback to map a specifier to the index of the surviving record (StringArrayHashMap<u32>). Main retyped the old map. The resolution keeps the map of this PR.
• Two more edits for the new types: impl<'a> ImportRecord<'a> with set_module_path(&mut self, path: Path<'a>) in src/ast/import_record.rs, and bun_ast::ImportRecord<'a> in the signature of surviving_record.
• cargo check --workspace passes on the merged tree (Linux x64).
• Tests, on a local debug build that contains this merge and the main merges of eight other open PRs, with --timeout 30000: test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts (57 pass), test/bake/dev/css.test.ts (23 pass), test/bake/dev/plugins.test.ts (5 pass), test/bundler/bundler_barrel.test.ts (74 pass), test/bundler/bundler_files.test.ts (29 pass), test/bundler/bundler_plugin.test.ts (84 pass, 3 todo), test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts (199 pass, 2 fail on this debug build: the bundle of edgecase/AwsCdkLib gets a SIGTERM after 267 s, and the build of edgecase/DeepImportDiamondDAG gets a SIGTERM after 72 s).
