node:url: decide isInsideNodeModules in a native stack walk - #46200
A package that passes url.parse as a callback ([u].map(url.parse)) gets [DEP0169] DeprecationWarning: url.parse() behavior is not standardized. Node.js types DEP0169 "Application (non-node_modules code only)".
isInsideNodeModules (src/js/internal/shared.ts:191) let the first of 4 captured call sites outside a built-in module decide. The frame of map is named [unknown], so it decided.
Fix
isInsideNodeModules is one native stack walk, as IsInsideNodeModules in Node.js (src/node_util.cc).
An engine frame (a JavaScriptCore builtin, a host function) takes none of the frame limit. A built-in module frame takes one and does not decide.
Correct for ECMAScript builtins: V8's CurrentStackTrace, which Node.js reads, does not list them.
Verified: test/js/node/url/url.test.ts (main fails 2 of 3 new tests). Also test/js/node/url/ and capture-stack-trace.test.js. For an executable of bun build --compile --aot: two programs in test/aot/programs/builtin-modules/ (url-parse-*).
Background
DEP0169 is emitted once, by the first call from application code. Until then each package call runs this check: 31,429 instructions and 17 GC cells before, 1,134 and 0 now.
--compile --minify --sourcemap, isolated or monorepo layout

The call sites that main captured had names read through the source map of the bundle, and the check on main tested those names. The walk keeps that: when the deciding frame is outside node_modules, it reads the name of that one frame through the source map. A package call never gets there. An application call gets there once, and then the warning sets the latch. Without that step a bundle with a source map warns once, as on Node.js, and the only report about this warning (#16639) was about such output. So that step stays until a maintainer says otherwise. It is about 10 lines of jsFunctionIsInsideNodeModules.
Node.js references (v26.3.0).src/node_util.cc:328-359 (IsInsideNodeModules), lib/url.js:132-143 (the latch and the limit of 4), doc/api/deprecations.md (the type of DEP0169), deps/v8/src/execution/isolate.cc (StackFrameBuilder::Visit drops a frame that is not subject to debugging before it counts it).
What the walk does. It starts at the host function's own frame. A native frame and a JavaScriptCore builtin with no source URL continue for free. This is the switch of JSC's CallFrame::callerSourceOrigin, with no test of ImplementationVisibility: a class field initializer is private in that sense, but it is the package's own code. A WebAssembly frame ends the walk with false (V8 names it wasm://wasm/<hash>). Each other frame takes one of the limit. A frame whose source origin is builtin:// (node:, bun:, internal: and the bare-name built-in modules) is stepped over, and so is a script that a program names node:..., as in Node.js. The first other frame decides by its source URL: node_modules with a separator of either kind on each side. No argument, or an argument that is not an integer in the int32 range, means 10 frames.
Compiled executables (bun build --compile --aot, #45631). Added when main was merged at 11c3671. In a compiled program the walk also gets the frames of compiled code, and such a frame has no CodeBlock. The walk has a branch for it. A frame of a built-in (FunctionDescription::builtinKind() is not None) takes none of the limit. A frame of one of Bun's own modules (isInRuntimeModule()) takes one and does not decide. Any other frame decides by its source URL. The build recorded its position, so no source map applies at run time. Without the branch the first url.parse() of a compiled program read a null CodeBlock. Two programs in test/aot/programs/builtin-modules/ hold a compiled executable to what bun run prints, and programs-in-every-run.txt lists both: url-parse-warns-for-the-application-and-not-for-a-package and url-parse-lists-four-frames-to-find-a-package. By hand, the 11 shapes of the callback fixture above give the same verdicts compiled as under bun run. Main, compiled, warns at the first of them. Not tested: an executable with an external source map. One file names every compiled frame there (Zig::externalSourceMapFileURL), so a package call warns, as it does on main. Not done: a strict function of a package that the application constructs and that ends in return url.parse(u). Compiled code can leave that frame by a tail call, and then the application's frame decides.
Removed.src/js/internal/shared.ts:182-220: the regular expression, the swap of Error.stackTraceLimit and Error.prepareStackTrace, and the loop over call sites with its two dead clauses (!filename, === "native"). url.ts and internal/test/binding.ts do not change: the built node/url.js is byte-identical.
Behavior changes.
Toward Node.js: url.parse, url.format(string), url.resolve, url.resolveObject and Url.prototype.resolve as a callback of a package, under any number of engine frames, do not warn. The same for a class field initializer of a package (x = url.parse(u)) and a default parameter of an async function of a package.
Toward Node.js: the check does not read or write Error.stackTraceLimit or Error.prepareStackTrace. A frozen Error, an accessor on either property, or a call made inside a prepareStackTrace function made a package call warn.
A frame of bun:sqlite or of another built-in module between the package and url.parse is stepped over. Before, only node: and internal: names were.
Away from Node.js: a package that passes url.parse itself to an API that Bun implements as a host function and Node.js writes in JavaScript (new ReadableStream({ start }), an event listener) is silent. Node.js counts its own node:internal frames, uses up the limit of 4, and warns. Silent is what the type of DEP0169 says for a call that a package makes.
Away from Node.js: a strict application callback that makes a tail call to url.parse, and that a package runs through map, no longer warns. JavaScriptCore removes the frame of the callback, so the package frame is the first one left.
Away from Node.js: bun -e "[u].map(url.parse)" in a directory under node_modules no longer warns. Bun names the entry <cwd>/[eval], and a direct call there was silent before.
Not in this change.
Tail calls in strict code (an ES module, a "use strict" file, a class method). In a package, export const f = u => url.parse(u), return url.parse(u), return list.map(url.parse) and const r = url.parse(u); return r; (the transpiler makes it a tail call) still warn, because the frame of the package is gone before the check runs. Stack traces missing when creating errors #24789 tracks the missing frames, and Stack traces missing frames when functions are called in tail position #16704 asked to turn tail calls off and was declined.
Four other native walks stop at a builtin with no source URL: the DEP0111 check in BunProcess.cpp, Bun__CallFrame__getCallerSrcLoc and Bun__CallFrame__getLineNumber in bindings.cpp, and InspectorTestReporterAgent.cpp. They answer other questions (a source location, the caller of process.binding). A search found no open issue for it.
A package that Bun installs by itself at run time (an import of proxy-from-env@1.1.0 with no node_modules directory) runs from the install cache. That path has no node_modules part, so its url.parse() warns, on 1.4.3 and on this branch. The rule for the install cache is a separate change.
A //# sourceURL= comment names the code before its file does. So eval output that a package ships with a name such as webpack://lib/./src/x.js warns, and Node.js is silent. A module runner that names application code this way is the opposite case: Bun warns for the application file, and Node.js is silent because it finds the runner in node_modules. The same on main.
ee.on("x", url.resolve); ee.emit("x", a, b) in a package: Node.js warns and Bun does not, because Bun has one internal frame less. A node:vm script with an empty file name that a package runs: Node.js is silent and Bun warns. Both are the same on main.
Overlap.#45177 and #45570 each replace the capture half of the same JS function with a native captureCallSites and keep its loop. Whichever lands later drops the isInsideNodeModules part of that hunk. captureCallSites keeps util.getCallSites as its caller. The two insertions in FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp and .h are away from the lines that those two and #45933 change.
Measurements. Release builds of main 91e7e3b and of this branch (dc8aeff), linux x64. Instruction counts are perf_event_openinstructions:u with BUN_JSC_useConcurrentJIT=0 BUN_JSC_useConcurrentGC=0 BUN_JSC_numberOfGCMarkers=1, (a run of N calls minus a run of 0 calls) / N, minimum of 5. "Un-latched" is a call from a package before any application call. perf, valgrind, strace and bloaty are not installed.
The check, for a direct call from a package (un-latched minus latched): 31,429 -> 1,134 instructions with 0 frames above the package, 69,542 -> 1,160 with 100, 403,047 -> 1,030 with 1,000. Spread at most 57.
[u].map(url.parse) from a package: 14,428 per call on main (no check after the false warning) -> 15,502. Three stacked builtins: 14,574 -> 16,229.
A call after the warning: 13,913 vs 13,911 (spread 8). Error.captureStackTrace({}): 24,391 vs 24,391 (spread 20).
The first application call, which emits the warning: bun -e of one url.parse() minus bun -e of require("node:url") is 2,494,688 -> 2,119,809 instructions.
Per check (gdb hit counts on bun-profile, slope between N = 1,000 and 2,000): malloc-family calls 12 -> 0, CallSite constructions 4 -> 0, Bun__remapStackFramePositions 1 -> 0, Error.captureStackTrace 1 -> 0.
Functions that a program can replace, per check (1,000 calls): CallSite.prototype.getFileName 2 -> 0, String.prototype.startsWith 3 -> 0, RegExp.prototype.test 1 -> 0, an accessor on Error.stackTraceLimit 3 -> 0. Node.js: 0.
Release binary (llvm-size -A): 109,012,459 -> 109,013,317 bytes (+858). .text +1,792, built-in module source -934. jsFunctionIsInsideNodeModules is 1,629 bytes. Host functions made from JS: 152 -> 153.
Cells alive after require("node:events") and a full collection: 2,619 -> 2,613 (Function -1, RegExp -2, FunctionExecutable -2, NativeExecutable +1). In a Worker: 7,863 -> 7,857. Startup of bun -e "require('node:events')": 9,380,530 vs 9,276,782 instructions (minimum of 10, spread 22,787).
Verdicts of 104 call shapes, a fresh process each, on node v26.3.0, main and this branch: the shapes that differ from Node.js go from 45 to 14. 33 change, all from a warning to none, and 32 of them now agree with Node.js (the other is the strict application callback above). The 14 left: 10 tail calls in a strict or ESM package, 2 strict application callbacks that a package runs, ee.emit to url.resolve, and a node:vm script with an empty file name.
A bundle of 14 MB with a source map of 27 MB that inlines the package: the first url.parse() takes 161 to 588 ms on main and 101 to 440 ms on this branch (both decode the map, +84 to +93 MB of RSS). After that a call takes 5,402 to 7,454 ns on main and 2,476 to 2,760 ns on this branch. Without the map: 1,340 to 1,668 ns on both.
Wall clock, bench/snippets/url-parse-node-modules.mjs, median in ns, minimum of 7 interleaved runs, on a shared machine (spread up to 313%). main / this branch / 1.4.3 / node v26.3.0. url.parse() from a package: 4,661 / 1,503 / 4,587 / 2,700. Under 100 frames: 5,640 / 1,410 / 5,550 / 3,700. Under 1,000 frames: 27,846 / 4,566 / 24,710 / 7,060. [input].map(url.parse): 980 / 1,580 / 1,010 / 3,081. After the warning: 1,226 / 890 / 1,294 / 660.
Verification.
Release build of main: 2 of the 3 new tests fail, and the 8 other tests of the file pass. Each of the three asserts the results, stderr and the exit code of its fixture in one object. Debug build of this branch with AddressSanitizer: 10 of 10 pass, also with BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1.
The fixtures of the first two tests also run on node v26.3.0 and give the same results there, except for bun:sqlite, bun:jsc and the ReadableStream row.
Debug build of this branch: test/js/node/url/ (212 pass, and URL.canParse > repeatedly called produces same result takes 5.5 s of a 5 s limit in a debug build), test/js/node/v8/capture-stack-trace.test.js (68 pass), test/regression/issue/fix-bindings-stack-trace.test.ts, and the vendored test-internal-util-isinsidenodemodules.js and test-url-parse-invalid-input.js.
300,000 calls of each of three shapes (direct, map, three stacked builtins) from a package, with 0 and 100 frames above: no warning in any tier of the JIT. A test row makes 10,000 calls and requires that the DFG compiled the loop.
Odd arguments (4.5, "4", NaN, -1, 2 ** 31, -(2 ** 31), null, {}, 1n), a Worker, vm.runInNewContext and a stack of 5,000 frames give the verdicts of node v26.3.0.
Self-review. 24 concerns raised, 20 addressed. Among them: the verdict of a bundle and of a compiled executable stays as on main, a script named node: is stepped over, a limit that is a double, test rows for code that the DFG compiled and for a deciding frame of module, eval and global code, the ReadableStream row, and the text above. Declined:
no test proof · iteration 0 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/node/url/url.test.ts
url.parse() passed as a callback from a package in node_modules emitted
DEP0169: the frame of Array.prototype.map decided, and it is not in
node_modules. The check now walks the stack in native code, as node's
IsInsideNodeModules does. Engine builtin frames take none of the frame
limit, and frames of built-in modules take one and do not decide.
Co-authored-by: Don Isaac <donald.isaac@gmail.com>
The check reads the name of the deciding frame through a source map when
that frame is outside node_modules, as the call sites did before. So a
bundle that inlines a package keeps its verdict. A script that a program
names "node:" is stepped over, as in node. A limit that is a double with
an int32 value is a limit.
Status: ready for review. The description has two questions for a maintainer.
CI on 087aa9b (build 134295). Outside the AOT lanes, 182 jobs passed and 2 macOS x64 test-bun jobs did not start yet. The 78 jobs that failed are all test-aot-drawn, which are soft failures (110 other AOT jobs passed). Their failures are in tests that this change does not touch: tests of test/aot/ (pins of generated code, speed ratios, compiler limits) and test/bundler/compile-trim-capabilities.test.ts on macOS. The same test/aot tests fail on main (build 134092, same commit as the base of this branch) and on #39700 (build 134246). compile-trim-capabilities.test.ts also fails on another pull request (build 134247). No failure names the two url-parse-* programs that this change adds.
How to reproduce. Bun 1.4.3 and main print WARNING DEP0169. Node.js v26.3.0 and this branch print only done.
mkdir -p /tmp/dep0169/node_modules/lib &&cd /tmp/dep0169

bun -e "process.on('warning', w => console.log('WARNING', w.code)); require('lib').viaMap('http://example.com/a?b=c'); setImmediate(() => console.log('done'));"
The change moves isInsideNodeModules from JavaScript stack inspection to a native JSC function. Tests cover stack detection and DEP0169 warning behavior. A benchmark measures URL parsing from a simulated node_modules caller.
isInsideNodeModules delegates to a new native function. The function checks eligible stack frames and source-map-remapped URLs, then returns a boolean. The native function is listed as code that does not run unseen code.
URL detection and warning tests test/js/node/url/url.test.ts, test/aot/programs-in-every-run.txt, test/aot/programs/builtin-modules/*
Integration and AOT tests cover stack detection across runtime contexts and warning behavior for application and package-originated URL calls. A bundle test checks source-map behavior.
The benchmark validates warning behavior for a simulated package caller and measures direct, mapped, and recursive URL parsing at different stack depths.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the new host function for exception-safety and pointer validity: it never enters user JS (the only non-trivial call, computeLineColumnWithSourcemap, remaps through the Zig source-map path and leaves remappedURL empty when there is no map, which classifies as outside), codeBlock() is only dereferenced after the Native and Wasm cases return, and the uncheckedDowncast<FunctionExecutable> is only reached for CodeType::Function, where the owner executable is always a FunctionExecutable.
Extended reasoning...
The change swaps the JS isInsideNodeModules in src/js/internal/shared.ts for a JSC StackVisitor walk in src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp, with new subprocess tests and a bench snippet; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. Four verified inline findings cover behavior gaps in the walk and a test-fixture nit, so a human needs to weigh the Node-compat trade-offs the PR description itself lists; the memory- and exception-safety angles of the native code were examined and nothing was found there.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: users of a bun build --compile --sourcemap executable with a hoisted node_modules still get DEP0169 for a package's own url.parse call (#16639, axios). The bundle verdict at FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:893 hands the source map's raw sources entry to isInNodeModules, and for a standalone graph that entry is a relative path such as node_modules/axios/index.js with no leading separator, so none of the four substrings match. Fix: classify the remapped path by segment so a leading node_modules/ or node_modules\ also counts as inside, while /app/node_modules.js and not_node_modules stay outside. The PR table calls this undecided; the walk rewrite keeps the same wrong verdict. A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
A package inlined by bun build --compile --sourcemap (axios in #16639) calls url.parse; the deciding frame is the bundle itself, outside node_modules, so FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:875-878 records outsideProvider and FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:892 remaps it. For a standalone module graph, src/sourcemap/Mapping.rs:327-328 returns the raw sources entry without joining it to a directory, and src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs:1206 wrote that entry relative to the output dir, so with a hoisted layout it is node_modules/axios/index.js. isInNodeModules at FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:836-840 only matches /node_modules/, \node_modules\ and the two mixed forms, so the leading segment does not match, isInside stays false, and url.ts:135-143 emits DEP0169 from library code. The base branch's regex /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/ in the deleted src/js/internal/shared.ts had the same requirement, so this is pre-existing; the new native walk keeps it rather than fixing it, even though DEP0169 is typed non-node_modules only.
Verification: pre-existing; acknowledged in diff. In src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:836-840 isInNodeModules only matches /node_modules/, \node_modules\, /node_modules\, \node_modules/. For a standalone graph src/sourcemap/Mapping.rs:327-328 returns the raw sources entry unchanged, so line 893 isInside = isInNodeModules(remappedURL) is false and DEP0169 is emitted for a package call.

This is question 2 in the description, and this PR leaves it as it is on main. A --compile --sourcemap executable with a hoisted node_modules warns on 1.4.3, on main and on this branch. The same executable with an isolated or monorepo layout is silent on all three.
To count a leading node_modules/ segment in the name from the source map is a small change. But it changes a verdict of compiled executables, and #16639 still reproduces without --sourcemap, where there is no name to read. So the rule for bundles and executables needs a maintainer first. I can add the segment test here or in a follow-up when that is decided.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: A package that ships code with a //# sourceURL= directive (webpack eval devtool output, webpack://... names) still triggers DEP0169 for its own url.parse call, and Node does not. At src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:869 the deciding name comes from Zig::sourceURL, which at ErrorStackTrace.cpp:366 prefers the directive over the file path, so /node_modules/ is never seen. Node's IsInsideNodeModules reads GetScriptName, the real file, not the directive. Fix: classify by the provider's real sourceURL (visitor->codeBlock()->source().provider()->sourceURL()) or the file:// SourceOrigin, falling back to the directive only when both are empty, and add a fixture with a //# sourceURL= package. A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
Trigger: a dependency whose dist file was built with webpack devtool: 'eval' or 'eval-source-map'; each module is an eval string ending in //# sourceURL=webpack://pkg/./src/x.js. When that code calls url.parse, the deciding frame is the eval'd function. At src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:869 Zig::sourceURL(visitor) resolves through ErrorStackTrace.cpp:366-369, which returns sourceProvider->sourceURLDirective() first; the result is webpack://pkg/./src/x.js, which contains no /node_modules/, so isInNodeModules at :882 is false. The provider's real sourceURL is empty for eval code, so the remap at :892 also finds nothing, and src/js/node/url.ts:135 warns. Node's src/node_util.cc uses GetScriptName(), which V8 fills from the script origin, not the directive, so the same package is silent on Node. The base branch read the same directive through CallSite.getFileName, so this is pre-existing, but the PR ports the Node function and keeps a divergence the port was meant to close.
Verification: Pre-existing. The deciding frame's name at src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:877 is Zig::sourceURL(visitor), which at ErrorStackTrace.cpp:366-369 returns sourceProvider->sourceURLDirective() first, so isInNodeModules tests webpack://pkg/./src/x.js and isInside = false. The base decided on frame.getFileName(), set at CallSite.cpp:79 from the same directive-preferring lookup, and also warns.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Correct, and it is the same on main: the name comes from Zig::sourceURL, which reads the directive first. I did not change it here, because the directive is wrong in one shape and right in another, and Node.js v26.3.0 is silent in both. I ran these from a package in node_modules:
new Function("url", "u", "return url.parse(u)\n//# sourceURL=/app/src/server.js")(url, u)
silent
warns
the same with //# sourceURL=/app/node_modules/dep/index.js
silent
silent
The second row is a module runner that evaluates application code. Node.js is silent there because the first named frame is the runner, which is in node_modules. Bun warns because the directive names the application file. To read the provider URL and the origin before the directive makes the first row silent, and it also makes the second row silent, where the code is application code. So it needs its own decision. I added it to "Not in this change" in the description.
…t-ins
The table of built-ins asks of each native function whether it can run
code that the compiler has not seen. internal/shared.ts now makes
jsFunctionIsInsideNodeModules with $newCppFunction, so it gets an entry
in host/unseen-code.builtins.ts. It runs no JavaScript: it walks the
stack and reads source URLs.
Main gained `bun build --compile --aot` (8d5672c). A frame of a
compiled program has no CodeBlock, and the walk of this branch read
one: the first url.parse() of such an executable ended in a null pointer
(`visitor->codeBlock()->ownerExecutable()`).
The walk now reads a compiled frame as the build recorded it. A frame of
a built-in takes none of the limit, as a JavaScriptCore builtin takes
none outside a compiled program. A frame of one of Bun's own modules
takes one and does not decide. Any other frame decides by its source
URL. The build recorded its position, so no source map applies at run
time.
Two programs of test/aot hold a compiled executable to what plain Bun
prints: one for a package that calls url.parse itself or through a
built-in, one for the limit of four frames. Both are in
programs-in-every-run.txt.
Merged main (11c3671) into this branch. The merge has no conflict. Two things broke, and the second one is not a build error.
1. The table of built-ins. The step that generates it stopped:
error: src/js: native:NewCppFunction:FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:jsFunctionIsInsideNodeModules runs native code nobody has classified: declare it, or list its holder or file in host/unseen-code.builtins.ts
Commit b1bd708 lists the function in seenCodeEntries of src/codegen/builtins/host/unseen-code.builtins.ts. It runs no JavaScript: it walks the stack and reads source URLs.
2. url.parse() crashed every executable of bun build --compile --aot. With only the edit above the tree builds, and the first url.parse() of a compiled program ends here (debug build):
src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp:892:82: runtime error: member call on null pointer of type 'JSC::CodeBlock'
In a compiled program StackVisitor::visit also shows the frames of compiled code. Such a frame has no CodeBlock (visitor->isCompiledFrame()), and the walk of this PR read visitor->codeBlock() for it.
Commit 087aa9b adds a branch for a compiled frame. It follows the rules of the walk:
A frame of a built-in (FunctionDescription::builtinKind() is not None) takes none of the limit.
A frame of one of Bun's own modules (isInRuntimeModule()) takes one and does not decide.
Any other frame decides by its source URL. The build recorded its position, so no source map applies at run time.
Two new programs in test/aot/programs/builtin-modules/, both listed in programs-in-every-run.txt. Each must print compiled what it prints under bun run:
url-parse-warns-for-the-application-and-not-for-a-package: a package calls url.parse itself, through map, forEach, replace, three bound Array.prototype.some and Headers.forEach. Then the application calls it.
url-parse-lists-four-frames-to-find-a-package: one, two and three frames of node:async_hooks between the package and url.parse. The third warns.

Not done:
An executable with an external source map (--sourcemap=external, --obfuscate). One file names every compiled frame there (Zig::externalSourceMapFileURL), so a package call warns. Main's JavaScript version reads the same name. Not tested.
A strict function of a package that the application constructs (new lib.F(u)) and that ends in return url.parse(u). Compiled code can leave that frame by a tail call, and a plain walk does not list a constructed function that left. The application's frame then decides, and the warning is emitted. bun run keeps the frame of a constructor. I read this from AOTCompiledFrame.h and did not run it. It is a further case of the tail calls under "Not in this change" in the description.
Checks:
The step for the table fails on the merged tree without b1bd708 and passes with it.
bun src/codegen/check-types-of-modules.ts and tsc -p src/tsconfig.json report no error on a tree with this merge (generated types and the sources of the engine in place).
Tests, on a local debug build (Linux x64) that contains this merge and the main merges of seven other open PRs: test/js/node/url/url.test.ts (10 pass), the two new programs through test/aot/parts.test.ts (both pass: 100 s and 230 s on a debug build), test/aot/builtins/own-properties.test.ts (17 pass). test/internal/source-lints: 192 pass, and 4 cases about the parser reach the 5 s limit on the debug build.

I reviewed the latest push (the AOT frame branch, the seen-code table entry, the two AOT fixtures and the merge of main) and found no bugs; the stderr nit from my earlier review is addressed, both fixtures now assert a combined { results, stderr, exitCode }. A human look is still worthwhile because the PR itself leaves two maintainer decisions open (whether Bun should emit DEP0169 at all, and whether a bundle or compiled executable should warn), and the walk's verdict in those cases is what the answers would change.
What was reviewed:
The native walk in FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp: no call enters JS, so no throw scope is needed; outsideProvider points at a code block still on the stack and is consumed before the host function returns; the limit uses the isInt32AsAnyInt/asInt32AsAnyInt pair, and a negative or non-integer limit falls out as false or 10 without reading past anything.
The old JS path's skip set (internal:, native, empty filename) against the new builtin:// origin test, with the behavior changes the description lists matched to the fixture expectations.
The AOT branch: Zig::sourceURL on an obfuscated image returns the fixed compiled.js URL, so a compiled package call warns there, which is the pre-existing verdict the PR's table records rather than a regression; I could not check FunctionDescription::builtinKind against the vendored WebKit headers in this checkout.
The doubleLimit case passes an integral double that JSC canonicalizes to int32, so it covers the AsAnyInt coercion rather than the non-int32 fallback; a nit only, the expectation holds either way.
Extended reasoning...
The change replaces the JS isInsideNodeModules in src/js/internal/shared.ts with a JSC::StackVisitor walk in src/jsc/bindings/FormatStackTraceForJS.cpp, adds an ENABLE(AOT) branch for compiled frames, registers the host function in the codegen seen-code table, and ships ~310 lines of subprocess tests plus two AOT fixtures. It touches no security-sensitive surface: the only input is an integer frame limit from a builtin caller, and the walk reads source URLs without entering user JS. Since my last review the author merged main (which introduced --aot), added the AOT frame handling and fixtures, and addressed the stderr-assertion nit. Approval is not appropriate because the PR explicitly asks maintainers to decide whether DEP0169 should be emitted at all and whether bundles or compiled executables should warn, and because the AOT header symbols could not be verified in this checkout; two earlier pre-existing inline findings of mine remain open as non-blocking.

Node.js types DEP0169 "Application (non-node_modulescode only)".isInsideNodeModules(src/js/internal/shared.ts:191) let the first of 4 captured call sites outside a built-in module decide.

process.noDeprecationinurl.parse()#16641 removed this warning as "noisy", and node compat batch: callback-throw dispatch, Assert class + native deep-equality parity, Intl gate + URL/buffer fallout, compile cache, watch kill-signal, profilers (+98 tests) #34660 restored it.

No user reported the false warning. It was found by reading the code.

process.noDeprecationinurl.parse()#16641 the answer was no: "It's really noisy and offers no value for users most of the time". node compat batch: callback-throw dispatch, Assert class + native deep-equality parity, Intl gate + URL/buffer fallout, compile cache, watch kill-signal, profilers (+98 tests) #34660 brought the warning back with thenode_modulescheck and no discussion of that answer. This change makes the check do what its comment says ("never from library code"). If the answer is still no, deletesrc/js/node/url.ts:123-144andisInsideNodeModules, and close this.bun build --compileexecutable) still reproduces on all three.bun build--target=bun, no source map--target=bun --sourcemap=linked,externalorinline, map present--compile, no source map (axios 1.6.8, hoisted or isolated)--compile --minify --sourcemap, hoistednode_modules--compile --minify --sourcemap, isolated or monorepo layoutThe call sites that main captured had names read through the source map of the bundle, and the check on main tested those names. The walk keeps that: when the deciding frame is outside
node_modules, it reads the name of that one frame through the source map. A package call never gets there. An application call gets there once, and then the warning sets the latch. Without that step a bundle with a source map warns once, as on Node.js, and the only report about this warning (#16639) was about such output. So that step stays until a maintainer says otherwise. It is about 10 lines ofjsFunctionIsInsideNodeModules.Node.js references (v26.3.0).
src/node_util.cc:328-359(IsInsideNodeModules),lib/url.js:132-143(the latch and the limit of 4),doc/api/deprecations.md(the type of DEP0169),deps/v8/src/execution/isolate.cc(StackFrameBuilder::Visitdrops a frame that is not subject to debugging before it counts it).What the walk does. It starts at the host function's own frame. A native frame and a JavaScriptCore builtin with no source URL continue for free. This is the switch of JSC's
CallFrame::callerSourceOrigin, with no test ofImplementationVisibility: a class field initializer is private in that sense, but it is the package's own code. A WebAssembly frame ends the walk withfalse(V8 names itwasm://wasm/<hash>). Each other frame takes one of the limit. A frame whose source origin isbuiltin://(node:,bun:,internal:and the bare-name built-in modules) is stepped over, and so is a script that a program namesnode:..., as in Node.js. The first other frame decides by its source URL:node_moduleswith a separator of either kind on each side. No argument, or an argument that is not an integer in the int32 range, means 10 frames.Compiled executables (
bun build --compile --aot, #45631). Added when main was merged at 11c3671. In a compiled program the walk also gets the frames of compiled code, and such a frame has no CodeBlock. The walk has a branch for it. A frame of a built-in (FunctionDescription::builtinKind()is notNone) takes none of the limit. A frame of one of Bun's own modules (isInRuntimeModule()) takes one and does not decide. Any other frame decides by its source URL. The build recorded its position, so no source map applies at run time. Without the branch the firsturl.parse()of a compiled program read a nullCodeBlock. Two programs intest/aot/programs/builtin-modules/hold a compiled executable to whatbun runprints, andprograms-in-every-run.txtlists both:url-parse-warns-for-the-application-and-not-for-a-packageandurl-parse-lists-four-frames-to-find-a-package. By hand, the 11 shapes of the callback fixture above give the same verdicts compiled as underbun run. Main, compiled, warns at the first of them. Not tested: an executable with an external source map. One file names every compiled frame there (Zig::externalSourceMapFileURL), so a package call warns, as it does on main. Not done: a strict function of a package that the application constructs and that ends inreturn url.parse(u). Compiled code can leave that frame by a tail call, and then the application's frame decides.Removed.

Silent is what the type of DEP0169 says for a call that a package makes.url.parse, and that a package runs throughmap, no longer warns. JavaScriptCore removes the frame of the callback, so the package frame is the first one left.bun -e "[u].map(url.parse)"in a directory undernode_modulesno longer warns.
