js_parser: keep directives as statements and carry the file's prologue on the AST - #46730
Maintainer decisions (Notes): no flag, and ("use strict") and "use\x20strict" are not directives (node's rule, not esbuild's).
Problem
(function () { "use strict"; ... })() in a CommonJS file runs sloppy in bun file.cjs and --format=cjs bundles. Node runs it strict.
parse_stmts_up_to (src/js_parser/parse/mod.rs:1545) marks the scope strict, then sets skip = true. Only the file's directive is rebuilt.
Fix
The parser keeps every directive as an S::Directive. Only a module, function or namespace body has a prologue.
The file's prologue moves to Ast.directives. The CommonJS wrapper, print_ast, the REPL and the linker print it first.
Transforms add statements after it. A kept non-directive string prints as a template literal.
Verified: test/bundler/bundler_directive.test.ts and 9 more files (81 cases fail on main), plus the suites in Notes. Self-reviewed: 20 concerns raised, 20 addressed.
Background
A directive prologue is the run of string statements at the start of a body. "use strict" makes it strict. JavaScriptCore sees only the printed text.
Token rule. A directive is an expression statement that is one string literal token, and a Use Strict Directive has no escape (ECMA-262 11.2.1). So ("use strict") ends the prologue, and "use\x20strict" is a prologue member without a meaning. It is dropped, because the printer writes the string value. Node does the same. esbuild treats both as "use strict". If esbuild's rule is wanted, only directive_data and four test rows change. A .cjs file that starts with one of these two spellings was strict on main and is sloppy now. A .js file in a package without a type is different: if it starts with one of them and has no other sign of CommonJS (require, module, exports, __dirname, a top-level this or return), it was CommonJS on main. It is now an ES module, as the same file is without that line, so it stays strict.
Repros that now match node v26.3.0 (release builds of main 179664e and of this branch)
The report: (function () { "use strict"; ... })() prints TypeError | ReferenceError | undefined for bun fn.cjs, require, a Worker, stdin, and the output of bun build --target=node --format=cjs. Main prints NO THROW | A GLOBAL WAS MADE | THE GLOBAL.
All function kinds: declaration, expression, arrow, method, getter, generator, async function.
bun -e '"use strict"; ...', bun -p and stdin keep the directive of the script. bun -p '"use strict"' prints use strict, and bun -p '"a"; "b"; "a"' prints a.
"use client"; "use strict" stays strict with the inspector attached and under bun test --coverage.
{ 'use strict'; var eval = 1 } loads: a string at the start of a block, try, finally or static block is not a directive.
Behaviour changes
Strict mode where node has it: a function with its own directive, the file-level directive under -e, -p and stdin, and a wrapped CommonJS file in cjs, iife and --bytecode builds.
JavaScriptCore makes proper tail calls in strict code. Three nested tail calls in such code leave 1 frame in a stack trace (main and node: 3). A strict self tail call no longer overflows the stack.
bun build --no-bundle and Bun.Transpiler print "use strict" for an ES module, where main removed it as redundant. esm bundles still omit it.
A directive in a function body ("use server", "worklet", "use memo") now stays under --minify.
The bundler prints the directives of the entry point of each chunk, and of a wrapped file inside its wrapper. The directive of a file that is inlined into the chunk is not printed (main printed it in the middle of the chunk). Put the directive in the entry file or use --banner. esbuild does the same.
A TypeScript namespace that holds only a directive is now emitted, as in tsc.
bun test --coverage counts the line of a kept directive. A file with one called and one uncalled function goes from 66.67% to 62.50% of lines, which can cross a coverageThreshold.
Bluebird sees strict mode and takes its ES5 path, which reads Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(error, "stack"). That read makes bun format the stack. 200,000 rejections: main 1.25 to 1.41 s, this branch 1.79 to 1.93 s, node 1.67 to 1.69 s (13,100,753,139 -> 14,532,310,931 instructions). Resolutions do not change.
With dead-code elimination off (bun -p, --coverage, the REPL, Bun.Transpiler({ deadCodeElimination: false })) a kept string statement that is not a directive prints as a template literal. On main function f() { ;"use strict"; return typeof this } is strict in those modes.
bun pm diff is unchanged: keep_directives leaves each directive where it is written.
Implementation
parse_stmts_up_to looks for a prologue only when ParseStatementOptions.allow_directive_prologue is set: the module list (three callers), a function body, a TypeScript namespace body. The rare part is in directive_data, out of the loop.
split_directive_prologue takes the leading directives off the module's statements as a prefix slice. It copies only when a legal comment sits inside the prologue.
Statements that a transform adds to a body go after the prologue: the hoisted list of visit_stmts, the Fast Refresh _s() call, lowered class fields and TypeScript parameter properties in a constructor, decorator initializers and capture temporaries, the React Compiler memo cache. A debug assertion in print_block_body fails when a directive follows another statement.
The parser gives no wrapper symbol to an ES module whose statements all move out of __esm (needs_wrapper_ref). The linker puts a prologue in a wrapper only when the file has that symbol.
The REPL keeps the directives of a line as directives, and the last statement gives the result.
Tests (release builds: fails on main / cases in the file, all pass on this branch)
test/bundler/bundler_directive.test.ts: 26 / 30 (new file)
Pinned again: bundler_npm.test.ts (ReactSSR, +52 bytes), bundler_bytecode_portable.test.ts (9 bundles, and once more on top of the WebKit upgrade Upgrade WebKit to f59345e04a8d #46690), bun-build-compile.test.ts (order file v3), esbuild/default.test.ts (todo removed).
Also run on the debug build: the React Compiler fixture corpus (3,293 cases) and its run suite, es-decorators, decorators, syntax, transpiler-cache, and the bundler suites cjs2esm, minify, splitting, banner, jsx, string, edgecase, esbuild/default, dce, ts, importstar, extra. Three cases can reach their time limit with this debug build on the test machine, and pass with a release build: edgecase/DeepImportDiamondDAG, default/TopLevelAwaitForbiddenRequireSourceMapCLI, and bytecode from a compiled executable is not copied into private memory in bun-build-compile.test.ts (60 s limit, 4 s and 5 s with the release builds of main and of this branch). The test files of this PR pass again on the debug build after the merge of main.
Self-review: one part of one concern is not done. It asked for a tracking issue for the Bluebird slowdown. Reading stack has to format the stack, so there is nothing to track.
Measurements (LTO release builds of main 179664e and of this branch at 0604586, linux-x64, user-space instructions from perf_event_open, minimum of 3 runs of bun build --no-bundle; valgrind, perf and bloaty are not installed here). The type sizes, the cache count and the order file count are from the builds before the merge of main (a8fcd31). The code they measure is the same.
type sizes (main vs PR): ParseStatementOptions 32 -> 32 B, Scope 128 -> 128 B, Ast 1168 -> 1168 B, P 4080 -> 4072 B, BundledAst columns 30 -> 31 (+12 B per module)
print_stmt copies: 69,090 -> 69,090 bytes in total (5 copies, each the same size)
per kept directive: +771 instructions, +16 bytes of output (+13 minified), +2 source map segments
module prologue: 162,122,419 -> 161,422,713 instructions for "use strict" plus 50,000 statements, 157,224,031 -> 156,524,750 with a legal comment first
cjs bundle of express, mongoose and bluebird (614 modules): 3,585,170 -> 3,594,438 bytes, 577 of 613 wrappers now start with a directive (main: 0). Minified: 2,077,055 -> 2,084,582 bytes. esm: +36 bytes.
cache: 21 of 21 entries re-written once after the version bump, 0 on the next run
bytecode order: 582 of 7,538 function identities renamed for that bundle, VERSION v2 -> v3
Duplicate parameter names are rejected in sloppy code too, as on main.
tsconfig alwaysStrict is not read.
The note of a strict-mode error names no location for an explicit directive.
A "use strict" at the top of an entry makes the whole cjs chunk strict, and a code --banner comes before the directives of the chunk (both as in esbuild).
bun -p '"use\x20strict"' prints undefined.
Seen on main, not related: bun build --format=iife defines the wrapper of a CommonJS entry and does not call it. o.#p++ on a decorated private accessor prints an invalid assignment target.
no test proof · iteration 1 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/bun/repl/repl.test.ts, test/cli/run/run-eval.test.ts, test/cli/install/bun-pm-diff.test.ts, test/bundler/transpiler/react-compiler.test.ts, test/bundler/transpiler/preserve-use-strict-cjs.test.ts, test/bundler/bundler_compile.test.ts, test/bundler/bundler_bytecode_portable.test.ts, test/bundler/bun-build-compile.test.ts
…cjs and iife output
The linker printed the directive of a wrapped file inside its `__commonJS`
or `__esm` wrapper only when the chunk was not an entry point chunk. Code
splitting needs esm output, so every cjs and iife chunk is an entry point
chunk and the directive was never printed. A CommonJS file that starts with
"use strict" ran as sloppy code after bundling.
The gate now tests the file: every wrapped file except the entry point of
the chunk gets the directive, and that entry point keeps it at the top of
the chunk. `InsideWrapperPrefix::append_directive` keeps the directive ahead
of the `init_*()` calls the linker inserts at the start of the wrapper body.
An ES module that has no wrapper symbol prints no closure, so it gets no
directive.
… --compile --bytecode
Six of the bundles in bundler_bytecode_portable.test.ts hold wrapped CommonJS
files that start with "use strict". Their text and bytecode move. The other
entries are unchanged.
…ach file kind
An ES module with "use strict" and no wrapper gets no directive. An __esm
closure can hold the directive alone. A read of fn.caller throws again. One
bundle with each kind of file records which ones run strict in cjs and iife
output.

Walkthrough
The parser now recognizes and carries directive prologues separately through AST construction. Transformations preserve their position, and the printer and bundler emit directives in file, function, and wrapper contexts. Tests cover strict-mode behavior across parser, bundler, runtime, and REPL paths.

Summary
Parse and carry directive prologues src/js_parser/*, src/ast/ast_result.rs, src/bundler/bundled_ast.rs, src/bundler/AstBuilder.rs
The parser recognizes directive prologues, separates leading file directives from statements, and carries directives through AST construction and REPL transforms.
Preserve directives through transforms and printing src/js_parser/lower/*, src/js_parser/visit/mod.rs, src/js_printer/lib.rs, src/react_compiler/*, src/js_parser/scan/scan_side_effects.rs
Generated statements are placed after leading directives. The printer emits AST directives and preserves selected template-literal string statements.
Emit directives in bundled output src/bundler/*, src/jsc/RuntimeTranspilerCache.rs, test/bundler/*
Bundled ASTs store directive statements. The bundler emits directives at entry points or inside wrappers, and bytecode order files use version v3. Tests cover output placement and runtime behavior.
Validate directive behavior across runtime paths test/bundler/transpiler/*, test/cli/*, test/js/bun/repl/repl.test.ts
Tests cover strict-mode behavior and directive recognition across CommonJS, eval, coverage, inspector, and REPL execution.

Explanation
The direct targets are #14251, #18333, #4424, and #29533. The parser now recognizes function-body directive prologues and applies strict mode at function scope. It also marks non-simple function arguments strict before body validation. The CommonJS run tests cover the strict-caller case for #14251 and the required SyntaxError for #18333. The parser, wrapper, and printer changes preserve directives for CommonJS execution. The tests cover the Bluebird strict-mode probe for #4424 and the related uncompiled Bluebird path reported for #29533. The current head also preserves directive-printing error handling when quoting fails.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes stay within directive parsing, strict-mode application, directive placement, and directive printing. Wrapper, REPL, transform-order, coverage, bytecode-version, and cache updates support this behavior. The current allocation-failure fix handles errors while quoting entry directives, so it remains part of directive printing. The added and updated tests verify these changes. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

How it was reproduced, on main a8fcd31 (release and debug builds):
// fn.cjs(function(){"use strict";constcfg=Object.freeze({role: "user"});letw;try{cfg.role="admin";w="NO THROW";}catch(e){w=e.name;}letu;try{undeclared_name=1;u="A GLOBAL WAS MADE";}catch(e){u=e.name;}functionf(){returnthis===undefined ? "undefined" : "THE GLOBAL";}console.log(w,"|",u,"|",f());})();
bun fn.cjs on main prints NO THROW | A GLOBAL WAS MADE | THE GLOBAL. Node v26.3.0 prints TypeError | ReferenceError | undefined.
bun build fn.cjs --target=node --format=cjs --outfile=o.cjs on main, then node o.cjs, prints the same wrong line.
With this branch both commands print the line of node.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked a few other spots: every Ast/BundledAst constructor and the multi_array_columns table carry the new directives field (p.rs to_ast, empty_in, AstBuilder, both BundledAst conversions); split_directive_prologue in parse_entry.rs only copies when a legal comment sits inside the prologue and keeps the comment with the statements on every path; and the prefer_template mark in scan_side_effects.rs is applied to a shallow copy, so an inlined constant's shared node is not mutated.
Extended reasoning...
The change reworks directive-prologue handling across the parser, printer, bundler linker, REPL and React compiler, adding Ast.directives and threading it through the CJS wrapper, chunk output and transform insertion points; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. Three confirmed findings are posted inline, so a human needs to look regardless; this note only records the constructor-site audit and two ruled-out candidates.
Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.
Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):
🔴 src/react_compiler/codegen.rs — A React-compiled function that has its own directive loses it (and strict mode) when the instrument-forget pass is on, and debug builds hit the printer's new directive assertion. src/react_compiler/codegen.rs:363 still does compiled.body.insert(0, instrument_call) after the memo-cache preface was moved behind the prologue at codegen.rs:295-302, so the if (DEV && shouldInstrument) useRenderCounter(...) statement lands ahead of the function's S::Directive entries. Fix: insert the instrument call after the leading directives, the same way the preface is spliced (one shared directive-count for both insertions), so every statement the compiler adds to a body goes after the prologue.
Why this was flagged
A file compiled by the React compiler with the @ enableEmitInstrumentForget or @ instrumentForget pragma (src/react_compiler/program.rs:625) contains a component whose body starts with a directive such as "use strict" or "use memo". codegen_function rebuilds the body with the directives first (src/react_compiler/codegen.rs:506-518), and this PR moves the memo-cache preface behind them (codegen.rs:295-302), but the instrument block at codegen.rs:363 is still inserted at index 0, so the output body is if (...) useRenderCounter(...); "use strict"; .... The printer's new debug_assert in print_block_body (src/js_printer/lib.rs:2171-2178, "a directive is printed after another statement") then fires in debug builds, and in release builds the directive is printed as a plain string statement after another statement, so the function is no longer strict. On the base branch directives in function bodies were dropped before this point, so this ordering did not matter.
Verification:codegen.rs:363 still does compiled.body.insert(0, instrument_call);, so the if (DEV && shouldInstrument) useRenderCounter(...) statement lands at index 0, ahead of the function's S::Directive entries. The function body is printed through print_block (src/js_printer/lib.rs:2546) -> print_block_body, whose new debug_assert! (lib.rs:2171-2180, "a directive is printed after another statement") then fires.
On the finding about src/react_compiler/codegen.rs:363 (the instrument call at index 0): it does not reproduce, and I did not change the line.
enable_emit_instrument_forget is set only by parse_fixture_pragmas (program.rs:625). That function exists in debug and ASAN builds and runs only under the test option reactCompilerParseTestPragmas.
The block also needs func.id. maybe_compile_pending (program.rs:1316) hands every function of the file to the compiler as a G::Fn with name: None, so func.id is None for a declaration, a named function expression, an arrow and export default function. I ran the upstream fixture codegen-instrument-forget-test.js (with export added) and those four forms with a "use strict" directive on the debug build of this branch. No instrument call is printed, the directive stays first, and the assertion in print_block_body does not fire.
The only functions that reach this block with an id are the ones that compile_outlined_fn compiles again (pipeline.rs:292, JSX outlining). The compiler builds their body, and it has no directive. With @enableJsxOutlining the call is printed for _temp only.
So no body gets this statement ahead of a directive today. If func.id is set for the functions of the file later, that fixture fails on the debug assertion at once, and the insert index is the fix then.

… parser kind into functions
The directive token check, the scope marking and the scan of the text as it is
written read only the source text and a scope. As functions of their own they
are compiled once and not once for each kind of parser. directive_data stays
out of line.
…llocation failure
quote_for_json returns an error when the buffer cannot grow. The result was
dropped, so the chunk would get a cut directive and the build would pass.
test/bundler/bundler_bytecode_portable.test.ts: main (a0cc096, Upgrade WebKit to 982277c9dd3e #47035, the WebKit upgrade) changed pinned bytecode values, and this PR changes 27 values of the same snapshot. The snapshot is regenerated with --update-snapshots on a release build (--lto=off, Linux x64) of main a0cc096 with this PR.
The new snapshot differs from main in 27 values, as before. Each js hash is the value that this PR had. Against the pins of this PR, 3 sha256 values are new, and the bytes of libraries.js is 21200248 (it was 21200240).
The runtime parser still sets keep_directives: false on that base. Keeping directives and incrementing the transpiler cache version from 51 to 52 fixes outer and nested strictness. Two CLI regressions explicitly select CommonJS and check unboxed primitive receivers through direct calls and getters, including a sloppy outer scope with a strict nested function.
Exact head ce7af87ede876b8c354c2c0fdfdb965b5800d100 passed fresh Linux x64 native DebugASAN-AOT validation with the unchanged upstream WebKit 4d45755fed4aeef19e95beb90d3d0c884a2812bd:
Red: restoring only the producer flag makes that file byte-identical to upstream; both cases fail (0 pass, 2 fail), printing [false,false,false] and [true,false,false].
Green after rebuilding: both cases pass; the complete CLI eval file passes 47 tests, and the existing CommonJS strict/sloppy file passes both tests. No failures, skips or todos.
Prettier and Rustfmt pass; source, index and named refs are preserved after the control.
Native validation run. Cross-platform CI remains pending. The published branch is openclaw:claude/fix-runtime-strict-directives-20261102; the broader parser/bundler work remains with this PR. Credit to @robobun for the directive work tracked here.

Maintainer decisions (Notes): no flag, and
("use strict")and"use\x20strict"are not directives (node's rule, not esbuild's).Problem
(function () { "use strict"; ... })()in a CommonJS file runs sloppy inbun file.cjsand--format=cjsbundles. Node runs it strict.parse_stmts_up_to(src/js_parser/parse/mod.rs:1545) marks the scope strict, then setsskip = true. Only the file's directive is rebuilt.Fix

The CommonJS wrapper,print_ast, the REPL and the linker print it first.test/bundler/bundler_directive.test.tsand 9 more files (81 cases fail on main), plus the suites in Notes. Self-reviewed: 20 concerns raised, 20 addressed.Background
"use strict"makes it strict. JavaScriptCore sees only the printed text.bun -eand--no-bundlewrong.Downsides
--no-bundleprints"use strict"for an ES module.Notes
The two decisions
"use strict";directive in CommonJS modules at top of file #13485 then kept the file-level directive without a flag. If a flag is wanted: the design stays, and printing of a kept"use strict"goes behind one option. Then the four issues stay open by default.("use strict")ends the prologue, and"use\x20strict"is a prologue member without a meaning. It is dropped, because the printer writes the string value. Node does the same. esbuild treats both as"use strict". If esbuild's rule is wanted, onlydirective_dataand four test rows change. A.cjsfile that starts with one of these two spellings was strict on main and is sloppy now. A.jsfile in a package without atypeis different: if it starts with one of them and has no other sign of CommonJS (require,module,exports,__dirname, a top-levelthisorreturn), it was CommonJS on main. It is now an ES module, as the same file is without that line, so it stays strict.Order with other pull requests

parse_stmts_up_tolooks for a prologue only whenParseStatementOptions.allow_directive_prologueis set: the module list (three callers), a function body, a TypeScript namespace body. The rare part is indirective_data, out of the loop.split_directive_prologuetakes the leading directives off the module's statements as a prefix slice. It copies only when a legal comment sits inside the prologue.visit_stmts, the Fast Refresh_s()call, lowered class fields and TypeScript parameter properties in a constructor, decorator initializers and capture temporaries, the React Compiler memo cache. A debug assertion inprint_block_bodyfails when a directive follows another statement.__esm(needs_wrapper_ref). The linker puts a prologue in a wrapper only when the file has that symbol.Tests (release builds: fails on main / cases in the file, all pass on this branch)
