Problem

• For a built file (// @bun), bun reads the inline map from the last //# sourceMappingURL= line (src/sourcemap/lib.rs:1125). That line can be text in a string.
• A bundle that keeps a built file as text gets its map: frames read in-string.ts:5:3.
• A bundle of a library that writes map comments prints a false Could not decode sourcemap in '<file>': UnsupportedFormat.

Fix

• The finder skips the line when it can be text: a backtick or */ follows it, or a backslash ends the line before it.
• Correct: a template literal and a block comment close after the line. A "..." string holds a line end only after a backslash.
• Verified: test/js/node/module/sourcemap.test.js, test/bake/dev/server-sourcemap.test.ts, test/bundler/bundler_bun.test.ts (9 new tests, main fails 8). Generated files, checked against parsers: Notes.
• Self-reviewed: the last round raised 9 concerns, 6 addressed (Notes).

Background

• If the finder skips the line, bun reads the .map beside the file (and warns if it is broken), or prints built positions.
• Considered the ECMA-426 draft rule for unparsed source: it drops the own comment in more cases. Considered the comment that the engine's lexer records, as node uses: not every source has it (Notes).
• sourcemap: accept a source map whose sourcesContent is absent or null #36582 and Runtime plugins: positions go through the inline source map of what onLoad returned #46148 accept more inline maps: land this first.

Downsides

• The finder also skips the own comment of a file in those three cases. Node reads it then. bun build writes nothing after its comment.
• Cost per parse of a map: one more pass over the text after the URL. Code: 480 bytes (Notes).

Notes

Repro 1, wrong frames. All commands are stock bun build.

printf 'export function boomA() {\n  throw new Error("from a.ts");\n}\n' > a.ts
printf 'export function handle(msg: string): string {\n  return msg.toUpperCase();\n}\n' > worker.ts
printf 'import { boomA } from "./a";\nimport workerCode from "./dist/worker.js" with { type: "text" };\nexport const code = workerCode;\nboomA();\n' > entry.ts
bun build --target=bun --sourcemap=inline worker.ts --outdir dist
bun build --target=bun --sourcemap=external entry.ts --outdir out
bun out/entry.js

• main (release build 11c3671): the code frame shows lines 1 and 2 of worker.ts, then at boomA (worker.ts:2:3) and at out/entry.js:23:6. out/entry.js.map is never read.
• this PR: the code frame shows a.ts, then at boomA (a.ts:2:9) and at entry.ts:4:1.

The printer writes a string that has a newline as a template literal with the newline in it. The map comment of the kept file is then a line of the bundle.

Repro 2, false warning.

printf 'const withMap = (code: string, url: string) => code + "\\n//# sourceMappingURL=" + url;\nexport const out = withMap("x", "x.js.map");\nfunction boom() {\n  throw new Error("boom");\n}\nboom();\n' > lib.ts
bun build --target=bun lib.ts --outdir out2
bun out2/lib.js

• main: warn: Could not decode sourcemap in 'out2/lib.js': UnsupportedFormat, and the two note: lines about missing source maps are not printed.
• this PR: no warning, and the two notes are printed.

A public repository has this shape in a checked-in // @bun file: bldr/web/bundler/rolldown/run-build.mjs of s4wave/spacewave (at 95829674c1) writes a map comment from a template literal at lines 708 to 710. A file of that shape prints warn: Could not decode sourcemap in '<file>': InvalidBase64 on main when an error goes through it.

Repro 3, the dev server. This is for the server-side graph only (Bun.serve({ app }) and the framework routes). A route module that keeps the text of a built file with an inline map: on main every frame of the server chunk is bake://server.patch.js:27:22. With this PR it is routes/index.ts:6:17. Two tests in test/bake/dev/server-sourcemap.test.ts cover an 8-bit and a 16-bit chunk. A chunk is 16-bit only when a legal comment has a character that is not ASCII.

The code frame. When the chosen map has no text for a source, the error printer reads that source from disk. So text in a string could make an error print lines of another file. A test checks that the frame and its code come from the built file.

The rule. In the ECMAScript lexical grammar only three tokens hold a line end: a template literal, a block comment, and a string literal after a backslash (a line continuation). A line that starts with //# is a comment unless it is inside one of them. The finder has one test for each:

• A backtick after the =: the line can be in a template literal.
• */ after the =: the line can be in a block comment.
• A backslash at the end of the line before (a CR can follow it): the line can be in a "..." or '...' string.

The first two tests cover all text up to the end of the file, so they also skip a real comment that such text follows. As on main, only the last \n//# sourceMappingURL= line is tried, and only \n ends the URL.

The ECMA-426 draft and the earlier revisions. JavaScriptExtractSourceMapURL "without parsing" (https://tc39.es/ecma426/#sec-JavaScriptExtractSourceMapURL-without-parsing) gives a URL only when blank lines and // comments follow the comment, and none of those lines has a ", a ', a backtick or */. The first published edition of ECMA-426 has another rule.

• 96a417d had the whole draft rule. It did not read the own comment of a file when code followed it.
• f289e0e had only the quote test of the draft, for all text after the URL. It did not read the own comment when a later line had an apostrophe or a string, and it read no literal JSON URL.
• df6b259 keeps the backtick test and the */ test. It replaces the two quote tests with the backslash test, and parse_url is not changed.

What is read and what is not, on a debug build of df6b259. The main column is a release build of main (11c3671). The node column is node 26.3.0 with --enable-source-maps.

The own comment of the file	main	this PR	node
then code, a "string", or // it's the end	read	read	read
then a template literal, /* */, or a // line with a backtick	read	not read	read
after a // line that ends with a backslash	read	not read	read
with a literal JSON URL that has no backtick and no */	read	read	not read
with a literal JSON URL that has a backtick or */	read	not read	not read

"Not read" means that bun goes on to the .map file beside the file, or prints built positions. bun build --target=bun writes a //# debugId= line and then its comment as the last line, for esm, cjs and iife with inline and linked maps, minified or not. With an external map it writes no comment. So its own output is not in the rows that changed.

When the finder skips the own comment of a file, the .map beside the file decides the result. These are the three cases of Downsides, each with five .map files, on a debug build of d77207c merged with main 89452d2. The main column is the same tree with the src/sourcemap/lib.rs of main.

The .map beside the file	main	this PR
none	the own map	built positions and the missing sourcemaps note
one that parses	the own map	the .map
one that does not parse (not JSON, no mappings, empty)	the own map	warn: Could not decode sourcemap in '<file>': <error> and built positions

main does not read the .map of a file whose own inline map parses.

Text that is not the comment of the file	main	this PR	node
in a template literal	read	not read	not read
in a template literal that closes on a // line	read	not read	not read
in a block comment	read	not read	not read
in a "..." string that backslashes continue	read	not read	not read

Generated files.

• A script made 1,000,000 files from random strings, template literals, block comments, line comments, regular expressions and map comment lines, and changed random characters in half of them. V8 and acorn parsed 696,302. The last map comment line was text in 215,304. main reads it in all of them. This PR reads it in none.
• The review made the same check with other generators and with the engine's own record of the comment as the judge (vm.Script#sourceMapURL, in node and in bun). For each engine: 3,000,000 files, about 266,000 where the last line is text, none read. The same with the line put into the strings, templates and comments of real files from test/node_modules: none read.
• 11,985 generated // @bun files ran on the debug build. The build read the line exactly when a JavaScript copy of the rule says so.

Cost. Release code of the bun_sourcemap crate alone (rustc opt-level=3, one codegen unit, then clang -O3 on the bitcode): find_source_mapping_url_u8 213 to 449 bytes, find_source_mapping_url_u16 311 to 545 bytes, the .text of the crate 53,569 to 54,049 bytes. The pass reads each unit after the URL once, with the SIMD kernel for 8-bit text. For an inline map that is the base64 text. main reads that text twice: to find the end of the line, and to decode it. perf and valgrind are not installed, so there is no instruction count. A linked release binary was not built.

Suites on the debug build of df6b259. test/js/node/module/sourcemap.test.js (19), test/js/bun/sourcemap/ (367), test/js/bun/util/inspect-error.test.js (46), test/cli/test/coverage.test.ts (43), test/bundler/bundler_bun.test.ts (24), test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts -t EmitInvalidSourceMap (4), test/regression/issue/22003.test.ts (1), the source lints in test/internal/source-lints/ (196), and in test/bake/dev: server-sourcemap (7), sourcemap (2), html (15), esm (18). Also 48 bundles of a probe (6 shapes of kept text, 4 minify settings, with and without an external map): main gives a wrong frame or a warning for 46, this PR for none.

Other surfaces, checked by hand. Two debug builds of d77207c merged with main 89452d2: the tree as it is, and the same tree with the src/sourcemap/lib.rs of main. On the first, sourcemap.test.js (19), bundler_bun.test.ts (24) and server-sourcemap.test.ts (7) pass. The probe is a // @bun file whose last sourceMappingURL line is text in a template literal. The map in the text and the .map beside the file move the lines by different amounts, so the output shows which map was used.

Where the position is used	main	this PR
the print of an uncaught error	the map in the text	built positions, or the .map beside the file
a Worker: e.stack, and an uncaught error	the map in the text	built positions, or the .map beside the file
bun test --coverage: the line numbers of the lcov report	moved by the map in the text	the lines of the built file, or moved by the .map beside it
bun build --compile of Repro 1	/$bunfs/root/app:6:9, and a.ts:2:9 with --sourcemap	the same

A file whose own comment is its last line gives the same output on both builds in the first three rows.

Self-review. Three rounds. The last round was on this rule: 9 concerns raised, 6 addressed. Not done:

• A narrower backslash test: skip only when the URL line also has a quote or ends with a backslash. It reads one more shape, the own comment after a // line that ends with a backslash. bun build writes the //# debugId= line before its comment, so that shape needs an edited file.
• strip_suffix for the CR before the backslash test. It makes the crate code 160 bytes larger than the match.
• No inline lookup at all for a dev server chunk, whose map comes from its provider. The rule already gives no URL for a chunk that parses, so this is a separate change.

The round before raised 33 concerns and 30 were addressed. This revision does its two open items: the generated comparison, and quotes in later lines.

• JavaScriptCore records the //# sourceMappingURL= comment that its lexer sees, as V8 does for node. That record is exact. It is not used here: there is none after a parse error, it drops a URL that has a quote, and the lookup can run off the JS thread.

Seen and not changed here.

• A linked comment (//# sourceMappingURL=entry.js.map) with no .map file prints warn: Could not decode sourcemap in 'entry.js': UnsupportedFormat and hides the two notes.
• The map JSON parser accepts text after the root, and the base64 decoder skips bytes that are not in its alphabet.
• The finder ends the URL at \n only. The engine also ends a // comment at a CR.
• The rule needs a file that parses. A file that ends inside a template literal or a block comment has no closer after the text. No code of such a file runs.

Walkthrough

The source map URL finders now reject final candidates that appear to be part of strings, template literals, or block comments. Tests cover these cases in server sourcemaps, bundler error traces, and // @bun files.

[robobun]

Reproduced on a release build of main (11c3671) with stock bun build. The commands are in the Notes of the description.

• Wrong frames: a bundle built with --target=bun --sourcemap=external that imports a bun-built file as text prints the code of worker.ts and at boomA (worker.ts:2:3). With this PR it prints at boomA (a.ts:2:9).
• False warning: a bundle of code that writes "\n//# sourceMappingURL=" + url prints warn: Could not decode sourcemap in 'out2/lib.js': UnsupportedFormat. With this PR it prints the two notes about missing source maps.
• Tests: 8 of the 9 new tests fail on main. All pass on the debug build of this PR.
• CI on d77207c (build 136096, with main merged in): the three changed test files pass on every lane: Linux, Windows and macOS. The only red test is test/aot/engine/ir-6.test.ts. It also fails on main, and this PR does not touch it.

[claude]

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 two things in ends_source: the hand-rolled space/tab/CR trim loop (while let [first, tail @ ..]) is not matched by the byte-search lint's patterns (they only catch .contains/.position/.any/.all/.split forms), and the */ check uses rest.get(at + 1) so the lookahead cannot read past the slice. Output of stock bun build (base64 data URL or linked .map path as the last line) contains none of the four closer units, so the new guard does not reject bun's own inline maps.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds an end-of-file guard (ends_source) to both u8 and u16 sourceMappingURL finders in src/sourcemap/lib.rs and removes the literal-JSON data: arm from parse_url, plus tests in three suites. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface; the input is file contents of already-built JS. The four inline findings on intentional behavior narrowing versus the base branch and node are the reason a human should weigh the trade-off; this note only records what else was examined.

[robobun]

The branch robobun/568bde1b/sourcemap-url-not-from-strings has a second fix for this bug. It is not a PR, because this PR owns the fix.

Diff summary: the branch replaces find_source_mapping_url_u8 and find_source_mapping_url_u16 with one finder for both widths. The finder walks back over the comment lines the text ends with and stops at the first line of code.

I ran a copy of each finder over 29 file shapes. Both return no URL for text in a string, in a template literal or in a block comment, and for a comment with code after it. They differ on six shapes:

The comment, as the last line	finder of this PR	finder of the branch	node 26.3.0
//@ sourceMappingURL=<url>	none	<url>	reads it
//# sourceMappingURL=<url> (indented)	none	<url>	reads it
//#<tab>sourceMappingURL=<url>	none	<url>	reads it
//#sourceMappingURL=<url>	none	<url>	does not read it
//# sourceMappingURL=<url> text	<url> text	none	does not read it
//# sourceMappingURL= <url>	<url>	none	reads it

• For the last two rows, main prints warn: Could not decode sourcemap.
• The branch follows MatchSourceMapURL of ECMA-426 on these rows. It also ends a line at \r, U+2028 and U+2029.
• The finder of the branch agrees with a transcription of the ECMA-426 steps on 1,000,000 generated inputs.
• test/js/bun/sourcemap/negative-vlq-mapping.test.ts on the branch has one // @bun module for each shape. Take what is useful.

[claude]

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

Dropping the trailing-line rule in f289e0e addresses the earlier concerns about code after the file's own comment and about non-ASCII whitespace lines. Beyond the inline nit, I also checked bun_core::strings::index_of_any_t for the (haystack, set) semantics closer_follows relies on — it dispatches via PathByte to the SIMD u8 kernel and a linear scan for u16 — and that the rest = &rest[at + 1..] re-slice stays in bounds since at < rest.len().

Extended reasoning...

The latest push narrows src/sourcemap/lib.rs to a single closer scan (quote or */ after the URL) in both the u8 and u16 finders, keeps the deletion of the literal-JSON data-URL arm, and leaves the tests in three files. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface; the sensitive part is index arithmetic over file contents, which I checked is bounded. One test-coverage nit from this run remains as an inline comment, and two earlier inline comments (quote inside a trailing // comment, the dropped data:application/json, form) are unchanged in code and acknowledged as deliberate in the description, so a human should weigh those trade-offs.

Still open from earlier reviews (1):

• Unresolved: 1 minor or pre-existing.

[claude]

I reviewed the latest push (df6b259) and found no bugs; the points from my earlier reviews are addressed by the narrower rule. Because this is a heuristic that decides whether every prebuilt // @ bun file gets its inline map, a human should still weigh the trade-off before merging.

What was reviewed:

• can_be_text in src/sourcemap/lib.rs: the backslash/CR check, the index_of_any_t loop over backtick and */ (advances at least one unit per iteration, rest.get(at + 1) is bounds-safe), and both u8/u16 callers; byte search goes through bun_core::strings as src/CLAUDE.md requires.
• The b',' literal-JSON arm of parse_url is still present and is exercised by own-literal-json.js; the PR title and description (quote test, deleted JSON arm, "not read" literal JSON row) describe the superseded f289e0e rule, not the code that merges, so they should be refreshed.
• Tests: subprocess pipes are drained with Promise.all, whole-object toEqual on {stdout, stderr} before exitCode, tempDir + using, describe.concurrent; fixtures cover both rejection clauses, the lone-* case, CRLF, the .map sidecar fallback, and the 8-bit/16-bit dev-server chunks.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds a 20-line generic helper in src/sourcemap/lib.rs that rejects the last //# sourceMappingURL= match in a prebuilt file when the preceding line ends in a backslash or a backtick or */ appears anywhere after it, plus ~270 lines of tests across three files. It touches no auth, crypto, or path-handling surface; the parse path for the URL itself is unchanged. The code is small and the helper semantics (index_of_any_t, last_index_of, PathByte::from_u8) were verified against bun_core. Defer rather than approve because the rule is a heuristic with documented false negatives (a file's own comment is dropped when later code or comments contain a backtick or */), that trade-off versus the lexer-directive alternative is a design call for a maintainer, and the PR title and description still describe the previous revision's rule.
