Problem

• Bun Shell does not expand ${NAME} or ${NAME<op>word}. echo ${X:-d} prints ${X:-d}. true "${X:?}" && echo RAN prints RAN.
• Cause: at ${, eat_var (src/shell_parser/parse.rs:3386) reads no name, so $ is text.

Fix

• The lexer reads ${NAME}, ${0} to ${9} and ${NAME<op>word} (eight sh operators). Expansion expands a word only when it is the result.
• :? and ? fail their command: bun: NAME: word, exit code 1.
• If a form does not close, every ${ of the script is text, as on main. With a ? form, that script is an error.
• Verified: test/js/bun/shell/bunshell.test.ts and six more files (217 tests fail on main). 150 of 171 comparison rows match bash 5.2 (main: 4). Self-reviewed: 36 concerns raised, 34 addressed (Notes).

Background

• Expansion is the state node that turns a word into arguments. end_field now ends each argument inside a word, which repairs ~/a$(echo "b c").
• Considered: a lexer error for ${NAME:? (refuses scripts that run today), plain words only (a quoted guard passes).
• Supersedes shell: report expansion errors in assignment values on stderr #37841 and shell: expand ${NAME} the same way as $NAME #45032 (Notes).

Downsides

• 2 of 332,632 sampled package.json scripts need the text and change.
• Not sh yet: :? fails only its command, a value is one argument, and an empty "${X}" gives no argument: [ -d "${X}" ] && cmd runs cmd, as with "$X".
• Cost: .text +28,416 bytes, +4 instructions per Expansion node, +12 per $ with no name. Most words cost fewer (Notes).

Notes

What is read

• ${NAME} and ${0} to ${9} read like $NAME and $0 to $9.
• ${NAME<op>word} and ${N<op>word}, with <op> one of :-, -, :+, +, :=, =, :?, ?.
• Other text after ${ stays text, as on main: ${#X}, ${X%a}, ${X/a/b}, ${X:1:2}, ${10}, ${}.

Form	unset	empty	v
${P:-w}	w	w	v
${P-w}	w	empty	v
${P:+w}	nothing	nothing	w
${P+w}	nothing	w	w
${P:=w}	w, and P=w	w, and P=w	v
${P=w}	w, and P=w	empty	v
${P:?w}	the command fails	the command fails	v
${P?w}	the command fails	empty	v

The word

• It holds quotes, escapes, $NAME, $(...), backticks, other forms and *. Unquoted whitespace ends an argument: ${TOKEN:+--token $TOKEN} gives two arguments or none.
• ;, |, &, <, >, (, ) and {a,b} are text in a word. The first } that is not quoted ends the form, also after a {: X=v; echo ${X:-{}} prints v}, as in bash and dash.
• A ~ is $HOME when it is the whole word or a / follows it, as in sh. ${U:-~abc} is ~abc.
• A $(...) in a word that is not the result does not run. On main it runs, because the lexer sees it outside of any form.
• A word is one string in an assignment value, in a [[ ]] operand and after = or ?.
• Forms nest 128 deep, the limit of $(...). A deeper form is text, and the forms after it are read. A deeper :? or ? form is the error Subshell nesting depth exceeded.

How it is built

• Lexer: eat_dollar is the one reader of a $, for lex and for the word of a form. Tokens: ParamBegin, ParamSpace, ParamEnd.
• Parser: parse_param gives SimpleAtom::Param. It names every token, so a new Token does not compile until it has an arm.
• Expansion::walk_words expands a word, with and without a $(...) in it. The words that are open are a stack of WordFrame. While a $(...) of a word runs, the stack is in ExpansionState::CmdSubst. No new state node.
• child_done continues the walk. Each child_done comes from the trampoline, because a script with a statement returns Yield::Next from Script::start. walk_words does not start a script with no statement, which would end inside Script::start. The parser gives no such script today: $() is a parse error, as on main.
• end_field ends an argument before the end of the walk. It puts a leading ~ in front of the first argument only, keeps a "" with its own argument, and records the boundary from EarlierFields, not from the bytes in the buffer.
• parse_script (in bun_shell_parser) lexes and parses. Interpreter::parse and shellInternals.lex use it.

Two passes

• When a pass that read a form does not lex or parse, parse_script reads the script again with every ${ as text. The tokens and the errors are then those of main.
• It does not do that when the pass read a :? or a ? form: as text, a guard stops nothing. true "${X:?}" && deploy; echo ${Y:-z is the error Unclosed parameter expansion. bash also refuses it.
• The second pass needs a first pass that read the whole script. When the lexer stops at the nesting limit of $(...), the script is an error: a guard can follow that place. So a form with 128 nested $(...) in its word is an error here. On main it runs, with the form as text.
• A NestingTooDeep from the stack check of the parser is final too. No input was found that reaches it through forms: 128 nested forms parse at each JS recursion depth that still returns.
• In the corpus below, 56 scripts with a form do not parse on main. The same 56 do not parse here. No script takes the text pass and then parses.

Interpolation in the $ tag

• A JS value stays data. It cannot name the parameter, choose the operator or end the form. When the template text before a value ends in $NAME, ${, ${NAME, ${NAME: or ${NAME<op>, the builder passes the value by reference (ends_in_param_head, which replaces outbuf_ends_with_var_ref).
• What teaches the lexer a new byte after ${NAME must add it to ends_in_param_head. The parity test in lex.test.ts holds the bytes.
• Not changed: after a literal $\, a value still names a variable ($\${name}). main has the same gap.

Changes outside of ${

• An error in an assignment value goes to stderr: A=${U:?msg}, and also A={a,b,...} over the brace limit. On main it prints nothing. This is the change of shell: report expansion errors in assignment values on stderr #37841. Here Assigns writes to the stderr of its parent node (Node::io()) and has no new field. The exit code is 1, also when the write fails.
• ~/a$(echo "b c") gives $HOME/ab and c. On main it gives /ab and ~c.
• The glob of a word with no form is as on main: one walk, for the last field of the word. echo *$(echo a b) is the error no matches found: b on main and here. The rule that a last field with no * is text is only for a word with a form (is_text_of_form).
• Deleted: LexerAscii, LexerUnicode and the re-exports of ParseError and Parser in shell_body.rs, which have no user now. Lexer is pub(crate).
• looks_like_js_obj_ref and looks_like_js_string_ref share continues_js_ref_prefix. The two lexer encodings are now built in bun_shell_parser, so the generic_body_not_generic lint of mordant counts the two copies of their bodies.

A glob or a brace group in each field of a word (not in this PR)

• On main and here, a word that whitespace splits gets its brace expansion and its glob walk only for the last field. sh does both for each field: echo *$(echo a b) gives qa b.
• The change for each field is built and measured. It is one commit on the branch robobun/954767e1/shell-field-glob (9fa2b2c, +390 lines in Expansion.rs). With it, *$(echo a b) gives qa b, {x,y}$(echo a b) gives xa b ya b, and 63 of 90 probe words give the result of bash 5.2 (this PR: 27, main: 12). Interpreter::next_node and Interpreter::child_done keep their machine code.
• It is not in this PR. No user report has such a word, it is as large as the runtime part of the forms, and it fixes three rules that no maintainer has chosen: brace expansion before the split, one run of a $(...) beside a brace group, and an error for a field with no match. shell: glob each brace variant in one pool task, and keep a variant with no match #33423 and shell: pass a glob with no match to the command as written #43746 change the same lines.
• Until then, in a word with a form, a * or a {a,b} before the whitespace stays text: *.md${EXTRA:+ $EXTRA} passes *.md when EXTRA is set. The docs say so, and two test.failing tests hold the sh result.

Order with other PRs (trial merges on main at 6292c65, 2026-10-24)

• shell: expand ${NAME} the same way as $NAME #45032 (${NAME} only, draft) said it must wait for shell: keep an empty word that has a double-quoted expansion #44904, because an empty "${X}" gives no argument. This PR does not wait: shell: keep an empty word that has a double-quoted expansion #44904 is a draft that waits for shell: fail an empty operand with ENOENT instead of acting on the cwd #38002, and shell: fail an empty operand with ENOENT instead of acting on the cwd #38002 conflicts with main. "$X" has the same result on main. One test ties 23 quoted spellings to "$X", and three .todo tests hold the sh result, so that shell: keep an empty word that has a double-quoted expansion #44904 changes all of them together.
• shell: report expansion errors in assignment values on stderr #37841: superseded (see above). Its 8 tests pass on this branch, and its cases are in the tests here.
• shell: expand $? and $$ #45490 ($?, $$): clean on main, conflicts here in 5 files. It replaces the 0 => arm, which is in eat_dollar now. The row the word: $? gives the tokens that it gives outside of a form fails if only one of the two callers learns the token.
• shell: expand a [[ ]] operand to one word and match * on the right of == and != #45968 ([[ ]] operands): clean on main, conflicts here in 4 files. Its WordContext replaces assign_ctx: expand_param_atom then reads field_splitting() in place of the CondExpr test. A $(...) at the top level of an operand is still split here.
• shell: keep an empty word that has a double-quoted expansion #44904: conflicts here in 4 files. EarlierFields and end_field are where its empty word must be kept.
• shell: add the : builtin (POSIX null command) #46375 (:) and shell: replace, don't append, when a prefix assignment overrides an env var #36513 (an assignment before a command replaces an environment variable): clean on main and here.
• shell: a command substitution inherits the stdin of its command #43071, shell: remove unsafe from the interpreter, state nodes, IOWriter/IOReader and Builtin #40228, shell: pass a glob with no match to the command as written #43746, shell: keep variables in one table with an export attribute, and prefix assignments on their command #45371, shell: fail an empty operand with ENOENT instead of acting on the cwd #38002: each conflicts with main today.

Differences from bash 5.2 (21 of 171 rows, in run-shell.test.ts with their cause)

• 7 rows: :? fails only its command. bash stops the script (Bun shell ignores 'exit' command #20368). Put && after the guard.
• 4 rows: a quoted form, or a quoted part of a word, that expands to nothing gives no argument (shell: keep an empty word that has a double-quoted expansion #44904).
• 4 rows: a value is not split at whitespace, like $X on main.
• 3 rows: an assignment before a command does not read an earlier one of the same command, like $A on main (shell: keep variables in one table with an export attribute, and prefix assignments on their command #45371).
• 3 rows: "${X:-'}'}", ${X:-"a\}b"} and $'x' in a word. Bun gives what dash gives.
• Not in the rows: a * or a {a,b} expands only in the last argument of a word (two test.failing tests), and a guard does not stop the command after export NAME, in VAR=$(cmd "${NAME:?}") and in an assignment of a pipeline. The docs list these.
• ~${X:+ w} gives no ~ argument, like ~$UNSET on main.
• The exit code of a $(...) in a word is not the exit code of its command: ${X:-$(false)} && next runs next. main has that rule only for a command that is one bare $(...), and an assignment ignores the code there too. shell: record the last command substitution status per command and expand words first #45074 records the code in Expansion::child_done, which a $(...) in a word also passes through.

Corpus (the latest package.json of 67,208 npm packages, 332,632 scripts, sampled 2026-10-22)

• 797 scripts change. Each holds a form. No script without a form changes.
• Of the 797: 602 read an upper-case name, 128 an npm_* name, 39 a positional parameter, 32 a lower-case name that the script assigns. 2 read a lower-case name that the script does not assign: both are node -e "... console.log(`${name};${version}`)".
• Forms in the 797: ${NAME} 780, :- 496, :+ 183, := 18, + 3, = 2, - 1, :? and ? 0.

Measurements (release builds of main at 0903892 and of this PR on that commit, Linux x64. The branch now has main at 3f3a9ff merged, which changes no shell source.)

Instructions in shell code for one more unit. Counted with qemu-user, one instruction per block, between scripts of 1,000 and 2,000 units (200 and 400 for the last three).

• With one non-ASCII byte in the script (the other lexer encoding), in the same order: -1, -31, -31, -28, +14, -21, -13, -40, +13, 0, -2.
• New work in these numbers: drop_glue<Node> +4 for an Expansion node (its state can own a box), lex +12 for a $ with no name (the test for {), child_done +20, eat_subshell +5 and one call of as_expansion_mut that LLVM does not inline here (+19) for a $(...), transition_to_glob_state +16 and ShellGlobTask::run_from_main_thread +11 for a glob word, parse_atom +15 for a {a,b} word.
• The gain comes from nine #[inline(always)]: eat_dollar, eat_var, Parser::advance, is_at_end, r#match, append_var_argv, expand_simple_no_io, start_cmd_subst and apply_leading_tilde are small and have a second caller now, or are in arms that LLVM rates cold. Without the attributes LLVM leaves calls in the hot loop. Parser::r#match is a call on main.
• A literal word of 1 MiB: 6 instructions for each byte on both builds. With a non-ASCII byte: 119 on main and 120 here.
• One script (echo a): 7,594 on main and 7,583 here. The growth of the lexer's vectors is in both counts.
• The $ tag: append_js_value_str runs 195 instructions for an interpolated value on main and 201 here. One call with one value costs 4,040 and 4,054.
• Allocations for each unit: the same on both builds (3 for a word).
• Struct sizes: the same on both builds. Token 12, SimpleAtom 24, Atom 32, Lexer 200, Expansion 168, Node 176 bytes. The PR adds const asserts for them. Expansion::init has the same 109 instructions and the same 24 stores (objdump).
• No new state node and no allocation for a form whose word has no $(...). One box for each $(...) that runs in a word.
• Size of the stripped binary: .text 110,630,073 to 110,658,489 bytes (+28,416). The file grows by 32,768 bytes. The new functions are 23,160 bytes (nm -S). The largest are walk_words (6,518), lex_param_word (5,708 for the two encodings), eat_braced_param (2,537), parse_param (2,449) and open_word (2,033).
• Input that does not close (${A:- repeated, 224, 448 and 896 KB): 70.3, 140.6 and 281.3 million instructions. On main: 36.9, 73.9 and 147.7 million. The lexer reads such a script two times, first with forms and then as text. Twice the input costs twice the instructions on both builds.

Self-review

• A second review was about the commit for each field (see above). Its verdict: keep that commit out of this PR, and do not let a word with no form change. Both are done.
• 35 concerns were raised about an earlier shape of this branch. That shape expanded a word with a $(...) in a child node, which gave other arguments than the same word without it.
• Not done, 2 of the 35. A warning when a script runs from the text pass: the docs name that case. shell: report expansion errors in assignment values on stderr #37841 and shell: expand ${NAME} the same way as $NAME #45032 stay open: a comment on each says that this PR has their change.
• Two answers differ from the suggestion. The word uses the sh rule for ~, not the rule of the top level, which drops ~$UNSET. An assignment before a command reads no earlier one, for ${A:-w} as for $A: with the read, the child still saw the exported value (Bun Shell: prefix assignment of an existing env var duplicates the environ entry (child sees the old value) #32202).

Tests

• 217 tests fail on the merge base. In test/js/bun/shell/: bunshell.test.ts 93, lex.test.ts 95, parse.test.ts 14, exec.test.ts 6, env.positionals.test.ts 3, yield.test.ts 1. In test/cli/run/: run-shell.test.ts 5. All 846 tests of the seven files pass here, on the debug build and on the release build.
• The 38 other test files of test/js/bun/shell/ and test/js/bun/shell/commands/ give the same result on the release builds of the merge base and of this PR. 37 pass. shell-load.test.ts fails on both.
• bun run rust:mordant passes (Linux, Windows and macOS targets). cargo clippy is clean for the two crates. bun run rust:check-all passes for the 12 CI targets.

Walkthrough

The shell parser and runtime now support braced parameter expansions for named and positional parameters, including operator words, nested expansions, and field splitting. Assignment expansion errors are routed to stderr. The change also adds parser, runtime, CLI, and documentation coverage.

Changes

Shell parameter expansion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parse parameter-expansion syntax src/shell_parser/parse.rs, src/shell_parser/json_fmt.rs, src/shell_parser/lib.rs, test/js/bun/shell/parse.test.ts, test/js/bun/shell/lex.test.ts	The parser adds parameter-expansion tokens and AST forms, parses nested words, and exposes shared parsing functions. JSON serialization and parser and lexer tests cover the syntax.
Wire shared shell parsing src/runtime/shell/interpreter.rs, src/runtime/shell/mod.rs, src/runtime/shell/shell_body.rs, test/js/bun/shell/bunshell.test.ts	Shell parsing and lexing use shared parser entry points. Test-token output and template escaping recognize parameter tokens and parameter heads. Tests check that interpolated values remain data.
Evaluate parameter expansions src/runtime/shell/states/Expansion.rs, src/runtime/shell/interpreter.rs, docs/runtime/shell.mdx, test/js/bun/shell/bunshell.test.ts, test/js/bun/shell/env.positionals.test.ts, test/js/bun/shell/exec.test.ts, test/js/bun/shell/fixtures/positionals3.bun.sh, test/cli/run/run-shell.test.ts	The expansion state evaluates parameter operators and nested words, tracks fields through splitting, brace expansion, and globbing, and handles positional parameters. Tests and documentation describe the supported forms and behavior.
Report assignment expansion errors src/runtime/shell/states/Assigns.rs, src/runtime/shell/IOWriter.rs, test/js/bun/shell/yield.test.ts	Assignment failures write available error text to stderr and complete with exit code 1. Writer completion handles successful and failed writes. Tests cover redirected stderr and continued command execution.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to a3378

Parameter expansion can give child processes stale exported values, drop meaningful trailing spaces, and leave wildcard arguments unexpanded. Resolve these correctness gaps before merging unless explicitly accepted; the Bash-version probe also needs a small test-harness fix.

Status

Reproduced on main with this script, run as bun repro.sh:

echo ${X:-d}
true "${X:?}" && echo RAN

• main prints ${X:-d} and RAN, exit code 0.
• This PR prints d and bun: X: parameter null or not set, exit code 1.

A word with no form expands as on main: echo *$(echo a b) is no matches found: b on both. The change that gives sh's result there (qa b) is on the branch robobun/954767e1/shell-field-glob and is not in this PR. It waits for a maintainer to choose three rules, which the note on #33423 lists.

The branch has main at 3f3a9ff merged.

CI: in build 136732 the tests that fail on each retry are 27 files under test/aot/ and test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts. All 28 also fail on main. The diff does not change that code, and no shell test fails. The PR is ready for a maintainer to review.

Minor · Clear U in the rejection test's child environment. · yield.test.ts:184

test/js/bun/shell/yield.test.ts:184
Minor · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Clear U in the rejection test's child environment.

The test at test/js/bun/shell/yield.test.ts:184 expects the $(...) in ${U:-...} to run, which requires U to be unset. The child process receives bunEnv, and bunEnv spreads process.env without removing U. A nonempty U in the parent environment makes the expansion skip the substitution. The test then gets resolved 0 instead of the expected Blob-redirect rejection. Pass an explicit U value in the spawn env for this case, or otherwise make the test independent of the caller's environment. Do not rely on U being absent from the parent process.

The same assumption appears in the ${U:?x} checks at lines 222-230 of the same file, so fix those together.

Minor · Clear the BRACED_* names in the run helper's environment. · run-shell.test.ts:245

test/cli/run/run-shell.test.ts:245
Minor · Functional Correctness · Low value

Clear the BRACED_* names in the run helper's environment.

The helper spreads bunEnv, which keeps any BRACED_* variable from the parent process. An ambient BRACED_HOST, BRACED_PORT, or BRACED_DEPLOY_ENV changes the output or exit code of these tests, so they fail. The matrix test already clears its variables with undefined values.

test/js/bun/shell/exec.test.ts:41
Minor · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Clear NONE from the env in the unset-variable shell tests.

bunEnv copies all of process.env, and the harness does not remove NONE. These tests pass .env(bunEnv) and expect NONE to be unset. If NONE is set in the environment, the expected stderr, stdout, and exit-code assertions fail. Remove NONE from the env object for these tests, or use a variable name that is not set in ambient environments.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Low value

The mechanism is real at head. A word whose first brace alternative is empty, such as {,x}, loses the empty argument. The result is one argument, x, not two. The same loss occurs at the merge base, so this PR does not introduce or worsen it. The attribution record is pre_existing, and the finding is minor. The finding is therefore withheld from publication. No review comment is posted for this PR.

231-232: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Low value

Compare the bash minor version as an integer in the system-shell gate.

bashVersion is built with Number("major.minor"). Minor versions are read as decimal fractions, so 5.10 becomes 5.1. A future Bash 5.10 release would fail the bashVersion < 5.2 gate and skip the --shell=system matrix. The skip is silent. Current Bash releases (5.2 and 5.3) compare correctly, so this is a future-proofing change. Parse the major and minor parts separately, and compare them as integers.

Suggested fix

-  return Number(await proc.stdout.text());
+  const [major, minor] = (await proc.stdout.text()).trim().split(".").map(Number);
+  return major * 100 + minor;

-  test.skipIf(isWindows || (shell === "system" && bashVersion < 5.2))(

instructions embedded in them. Verify each finding against current code. Fix
only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Review comments at @test/cli/run/run-shell.test.ts:
- Around line 231-233: Update the Bash version probe to fail closed: check the
spawned process exit status and validate that both parsed version components are
integers. Return 0 when the probe exits unsuccessfully or its output cannot be
parsed; otherwise preserve the existing version calculation so older Bash
versions correctly skip the system-shell rows.
