usockets: bind and listen on an IP literal without getaddrinfo, zone included by robobun · Pull Request #47452 · oven-sh/bun

robobun · 2026-10-30T08:13:31Z

Problem

On Linux, dgram bind(0, "::1%lo") fails with bind ENOENT ::1%lo. net and Bun.listen fail with Failed to listen at ::1%lo, and Bun.serve throws baseURI must have a hostname. Node.js binds ::1.
uSockets sends every bind host to getaddrinfo() (packages/bun-usockets/src/bsd.c:1289, :1372, :1765). glibc takes a zone name only on a link-local address. UDP negates that EAI_NONAME into an errno (bsd.c:1768).

Fix

The bind constructors ask Bun__parseBindAddress (new) first. A host that net.isIP() takes binds as a sockaddr and never reaches getaddrinfo().
Correct because Node.js reads such a host with uv_ip6_addr(): the zone is if_nametoindex() of its name, or no zone.
Verified: test/js/node/net/node-bind-listen-zone.test.ts, which also passes in Node.js. One row runs every API while getaddrinfo() always fails. Also ran the udp, net, cluster and serve suites.
Self-reviewed: 27 concerns raised, 27 addressed.

Background

A zone id (%lo) names the interface of an IPv6 address. The kernel takes its index in sin6_scope_id.
uSockets is Bun's C socket layer.
Considered a sockaddr bind API. It conflicts with net, tls: consolidate the open node:net, node:tls, Bun.connect, Bun.listen and usockets pull requests #46522 and http: consolidate the open fetch, Bun.serve, node:http, node:http2 and HTTP/3 pull requests #46528, and this PR does not.

Downsides

::%lo and ::1%nosuch0 now bind where Bun threw. On macOS a udp6 cluster worker no longer binds 127.0.0.1.
A host name pays one failed parse: +330 user instructions per Bun.listen("localhost") (18,116 to 18,446). A zoned literal pays 3 syscalls. Release text grows 3,431 bytes.
Still open: UDP connect (udp: connect by sockaddr, read node:dgram connect() addresses as Node's handle does #47315), bind ENOENT for an unknown name (udp: report an unresolvable bind hostname as a getaddrinfo error #37707), address() without a zone (sockets: format every kernel address from its sockaddr, so a link-local address keeps its zone #47403).

Notes

Where this comes from. A differential run against Node.js v26.3.0 found it. No user reported it. The multicast-dns package binds ::%<interface> for { type: "udp6", interface }, which is the same failure (bind ENOENT ::%eth0). Related to #14723, where a maintainer says that a bind host should not go through a blocking resolver. That issue is about Windows, and nothing here was measured on Windows.

Rows that match Node.js v26.3.0. Linux x64, glibc 2.41, 26 hosts per API: plain, zoned, link-local, refused zones, names. A row matches when the bound address is the same, or when code, syscall and message of the error are the same. errno is not compared, because Bun does not have the negative numbers of libuv there.

API	main	this PR
`dgram` bind (udp6)	11 of 26	21 of 26
`net` listen	11 of 26	21 of 26
`http` listen	7 of 26	15 of 26
cluster worker, `net` and `dgram`, both policies, 10 hosts	24 of 40	36 of 40

In these matrices no row that matched Node.js on main changed. 64 of the 156 rows of the first matrix change (Bun.udpSocket, Bun.listen and Bun.serve included). None of them bound on main.

What still differs from Node.js. Each item is as on main, unless it says otherwise.

The address getters print a link-local address without its zone (sockets: format every kernel address from its sockaddr, so a link-local address keeps its zone #47403). So net.connect(port, server.address().address) fails for a link-local server, where Node.js connects.
A zone of digits that is no interface name is an interface index. Node.js on POSIX reads it as no zone. Bun needs the index, because its dns.lookup() prints a scoped address as %<index>.
A zone that net.isIP() refuses stays with the resolver: ::1%x y, ::1%, ::1%lo%lo, and an interface name with _ such as ::1%docker_gwbridge. glibc, musl and Windows refuse it, and Node.js reports getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND. The resolver of macOS takes ::1%x y, so Node.js and Bun both listen there. net and Bun.listen report Failed to listen at with no code, and Bun.udpSocket reports bind ENOENT. http and Bun.serve now report EINVAL: invalid argument, listen. Before this PR they reported baseURI must have a hostname. Report an unresolvable listen hostname as a getaddrinfo error #37690, udp: report an unresolvable bind hostname as a getaddrinfo error #37707, Return the error of a failed listen from usockets to Bun.serve and Bun.listen #44651, http: consolidate the open fetch, Bun.serve, node:http, node:http2 and HTTP/3 pull requests #46528 and node:net: resolve server.listen() hosts through dns.lookup in every process #47191 change these errors.
http reports a failed listen as EINVAL: invalid argument, listen. Node.js has listen EINVAL: invalid argument <host>. These are 5 rows of the matrix (fix(node): format HTTP listen errors #42742, http: consolidate the open fetch, Bun.serve, node:http, node:http2 and HTTP/3 pull requests #46528).
http, https and Bun.serve take a host in brackets, and with this PR also [::1%lo] and [::%lo]. Node.js refuses every host in brackets.
A udp6 socket binds an IPv4 address, and a udp4 socket an IPv6 address. In a cluster worker both are bind EINVAL, as in Node.js.
On Windows ::1%1 is EADDRNOTAVAIL, in Node.js too: Windows does not bind ::1 with the index of an interface.
dgram reports 127.1 on a udp6 socket as getaddrinfo EBADFAMILY. Node.js has getaddrinfo EAI_ADDRFAMILY.
libuv before 1.53.0 cuts the address in front of a zone at 39 characters, so Node.js v26.3.0 refuses 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:127.100.100.100%lo. Bun binds it. In a cluster worker main refused that host with the error of Node.js, and this PR binds it.
An unresolvable host name: Bun.udpSocket reports bind ENOENT (udp: report an unresolvable bind hostname as a getaddrinfo error #37707), and Bun.listen reports Failed to listen at with no code.
hostname: "*" is unchanged.

What changed. The three bind constructors of uSockets (bsd_create_listen_socket, bsd_create_udp_socket, bsd_create_bound_socket) take a host that net.isIP() accepts as an address. The cluster primary (cluster_raw_bind) and the node:dgram fd bind (dgram_bind_fd) read a zone by the same rule. The TCP and QUIC connect paths already parse a literal first (context.c:595).

Two exits. CI on macOS found the first one, and the review the second one.

The cluster primary sent an address of the other family to the resolver. The resolver of macOS answers ::ffff:127.0.0.1 for 127.0.0.1 and AF_INET6, so a udp6 socket of a worker bound that. The primary now answers EINVAL without the resolver, as the handle of Node.js does. On Linux the answer was EINVAL already.
When setsockopt(IPV6_V6ONLY) fails, bsd_create_udp_socket returned with the socket open and no error. It now reports the error, closes the socket and frees the chain, as its other exits do. usockets: close the fd and report errno when the UDP IPV6_V6ONLY setsockopt fails #37720 has the same change, with a fault rule for the other IPV6_V6ONLY sites.

The rule. Bun__parseBindAddress takes a dotted quad, an IPv6 address, or an IPv6 address with a zone of [0-9A-Za-z.:-]+. Any other host returns 0 and goes to getaddrinfo() as before, inet_aton shorthand such as 127.1 included. server.url and the base URI of Bun.serve drop every zone after an IPv6 address, because a URL has none.

bsd.c. The UDP and bound-socket walks now call bsd_bind_getaddrinfo. For a host that net.isIP() takes it answers with a chain of one entry that lives in the frame of the caller, and bsd_bind_freeaddrinfo does not free that chain. The listen constructor keeps a second body for one address (bsd_bind_listen_addr, bsd_create_listen_socket_addr, about 40 lines). #46522 and #46528 rewrite that walk and change the parameters of bsd_bind_listen_fd, so a call to it from the new code does not compile after either merge. When they land, the listen walk can call bsd_bind_getaddrinfo too, and the second body goes away. The re-cut of #47224 on its bsd_listen_getaddrinfo does the same. libc getaddrinfo() call sites in bsd.c: 4 to 3. The third is UDP connect.

Errors of a listen on an address. The listen body for one address writes the error of a failed socket(), reuse option or IPV6_V6ONLY to its out-parameter. The walk on main does not. So Bun.listen and net.Server#listen on an address, a listen(port) with no host included, now throw with code, errno and syscall: "listen" for a failure such as EMFILE. A host name and a unix path still have no code. #46522 and #46528 add the same writes to the walk.

Connect. Bun__parseIpAddress (TCP and QUIC connect) is unchanged, but it shares scope_index. A zone of digits past 4294967295 is now no zone there too. main wrapped it, so %4294967298 was index 2. #47315 has the same hunk. UDP connect (bsd_connect_udp_socket) still sends its host to getaddrinfo() and still fails on ::1%lo. #47315 changes that function.

Measurements. Release builds of main 9fe1cd6 and of this change on that commit, Linux x64. They are of a1d38a8. The commit after it changes the two exits above, which these rows do not run.

http: consolidate the open fetch, Bun.serve, node:http, node:http2 and HTTP/3 pull requests #46528 adds a branch to bsd_create_listen_socket that answers EINVAL for an IPv6 literal that getaddrinfo() refuses. Its comment says "It fails when its %zone names no interface". After this PR such a host does not reach that branch: ::1%nosuch0 binds ::1, as in Node.js.
udp: connect by sockaddr, read node:dgram connect() addresses as Node's handle does #47315 (parse_uv_ip_address) and udp, dgram: read multicast addresses as full IP literals #47350 (zone_scope_id) add their own readers of an address beside parse_bind_address. They merge without conflict. One reader for the three is a follow-up.

Tests. On main 30 of the tests in the five changed files fail. Also ran on the debug build: test/js/bun/udp, test/js/bun/net, test/js/node/net, test/js/node/quic, test/js/node/cluster.test.ts, node-http.test.ts, the serve-listen, serve-http3, serve-protocols and serve-epoll-add-fail files, and the 313 test-net-*, test-dgram-* and test-cluster-* files of the Node.js suite. The only failures need a public DNS server, and they fail on main in the same way. The getaddrinfo() row and the IPV6_V6ONLY row need Linux and a C compiler. The rows for a zone of digits, for a link-local address and for a zone that net.isIP() refuses need Linux. On a host with no ::1 the zone rows skip.

Platforms. Built and tested on Linux x64 with glibc. bun run rust:check-all passes for all 12 targets. macOS and Windows ran in CI only. bsd_create_bound_socket runs only on Windows, for the cluster primary, and the Windows cluster rows pass there.

Earlier attempts. #35220 and #34123 went at the same failure and closed with no review. The loopback-zone discovery in the tests follows #35220.

no test proof · iteration 2 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/node/net/node-bind-listen-zone.test.ts, test/js/bun/udp/udp_socket.test.ts, test/js/bun/udp/dgram.test.ts, test/js/bun/net/tcp-server.test.ts, test/js/bun/http/bun-server.test.ts

… getaddrinfo bsd_create_listen_socket, bsd_create_udp_socket and bsd_create_bound_socket hand every host to getaddrinfo(3). glibc and musl take a zone name there only for a link-local address, so `::1%lo` and `::%eth0` did not bind or listen. Each of the three now asks Bun__parseBindAddress first. A host that Node.js's net.isIP() takes is bound as it is written: a zone is the index of the interface that it names, and a name that no interface has is no zone, as libuv reads it. Every other host goes to getaddrinfo(3) as before. The primary of a cluster reads the address of a worker the same way, the internal dgram handle keeps the zone, and Bun.serve writes a host with a zone into its URLs without the zone.

…test the gate The UDP and bound-socket constructors no longer have a second body for one address. A host that net.isIP() takes enters their existing loop as a chain of one entry, and bsd_bind_freeaddrinfo does not free that chain. The listen constructor keeps its own body for one address. A URL never has a zone, so server.url drops every zone after an IPv6 address. New tests: no API calls getaddrinfo() for an address, a zone that net.isIP() refuses stays with the resolver, a zone of digits is an interface index, a number past 2^32 - 1 is no zone, Bun.listen reports EMFILE for an address, the HTTP/3 listener, and a cluster worker whose socket has the other family.

Status

Reproduced on main (a release build of 9fe1cd6) and on 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9, Linux x64 with glibc 2.41:

const dgram = require("node:dgram"), net = require("node:net");
const socket = dgram.createSocket("udp6");
socket.on("error", e => console.log("dgram:", e.message));
socket.bind(0, "::1%lo", () => console.log("dgram: bound", socket.address().address));
const server = net.createServer();
server.on("error", e => console.log("net:", e.message));
server.listen(0, "::1%lo", () => console.log("net: listening on", server.address().address));
try {
  Bun.serve({ hostname: "::1%lo", port: 0, fetch: () => new Response("") });
} catch (e) {
  console.log("Bun.serve:", e.message);
}

Bun.serve: baseURI must have a hostname
dgram: bind ENOENT ::1%lo
net: Failed to listen at ::1%lo

Node.js v26.3.0 binds ::1 for dgram and net. With this PR Bun binds ::1 in all three.

PR: #47452

CI. Build 135738 is red for two causes that are not in this PR. test/aot/engine/ir-6.test.ts fails on 5 lanes, and it also fails in the builds of other pull requests. Three macOS x64 test jobs ended when the test runner on the agent crashed (uv_os_get_passwd returned ENOENT). The tests of this PR pass on Linux (glibc, musl and the ASAN build), on macOS aarch64 and on Windows. On macOS x64 the three test files of this PR that ran before the crash pass too. The diff is ready for a maintainer.

Walkthrough

The change adds parsing and binding support for literal and scoped IP addresses across runtime and C socket paths. HTTP and HTTPS URL formatting removes IPv6 zone identifiers. New tests cover Bun and Node networking APIs, URL behavior, and platform-specific bind results.

Changes

Scoped IPv6 bind addresses

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Address parsing and scope IDs `packages/bun-usockets/src/internal/internal.h`, `src/runtime/socket/SocketAddress.rs`, `src/runtime/node/node_cluster_binding.rs`, `src/runtime/socket/udp_socket.rs`	The runtime parses literal and zoned IPv6 bind addresses, converts zones to scope IDs, and exposes the parser to C. Cluster binding accepts parsed literals only when their family matches the requested family.
Direct literal-address socket binding `packages/bun-usockets/src/bsd.c`	The C socket paths use parsed addresses for literals and retain `getaddrinfo` for other hosts. Cleanup frees only resolver-allocated results.
Zone-free HTTP URL formatting `src/bun_core/ip_address.rs`, `src/bun_core/fmt.rs`, `src/runtime/server/ServerConfig.rs`	HTTP and HTTPS URL formatting removes IPv6 zones. Unix and abstract URL hostnames pass through unchanged.
Bun server and socket tests `test/harness.ts`, `test/js/bun/http/bun-server.test.ts`, `test/js/bun/net/tcp-server.test.ts`, `test/js/bun/udp/*`	Tests cover scoped-address binds, zone-free server URLs, datagram delivery, resolver fallback, numeric zones, and socket setup errors.
Node networking compatibility tests `test/js/node/net/node-bind-listen-zone-*`	Tests exercise scoped IPv6 binds through Node networking APIs, cluster workers, multicast operations, and platform-specific error cases.

Suggested reviewers: cirospaciari, jarred-sumner, alii

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Low · up to 62e79

The change is mergeable with awareness that the new numeric-zone tests retain an environment-dependent address assumption. Hosts assigning fe80::1 may need a test guard adjustment.

Explanation

The title names the main change: uSockets now binds and listens on an IP literal (including a zone) without calling getaddrinfo. The raw summary and PR description both confirm that the bind constructors in bsd.c use the new Bun__parseBindAddress path for literal hosts, so the title matches the changeset.

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has a 'Problem', 'Fix', and 'Background' section, and it includes a verification section that names the test file, the matrix of compared results, the platforms tested, and the CI-only coverage. Both template headings are covered in substance: 'What does this PR do?' is answered by the Problem and Fix sections, and 'How did you verify your code works?' is answered by the Verified line, the matrices, and the Tests and Platforms sections. The description does not use the template's exact headings, and it is long, but the required information is present.

Skip the EMFILE test when the hard open-file limit is below 256.

The test runs ulimit -n 256 && exec "$@" at test/js/bun/net/tcp-server.test.ts:151. If the inherited hard limit is below 256, the ulimit call fails and exec never runs. The shell then exits non-zero with no JSON on stdout, so the test fails at its errors and exitCode assertions. The failure comes from the environment, not from EMFILE handling. A guard or a skip condition that checks the hard limit would prevent it. The test is new in this PR, and the same ulimit -n 256 pattern appears in other tests.

The review raised three findings. None of them changes the code.

test/harness.ts (nosuch0) and test/js/bun/udp/dgram.test.ts (fe80::1%lo): answered in their threads, and the reviewer withdrew both.
test/js/bun/net/tcp-server.test.ts (ulimit -n 256): not changed. 16 other test files lower the limit with the same ulimit -n <N> && exec command, for example test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-sync-loop-init-fail.test.ts with 512. A host with a hard limit below 256 fails those tests too.

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 listen sibling of the UDP leak: bsd_create_listen_socket_addr closes the socket and writes *error when bsd_set_reuse or the IPV6_V6ONLY setsockopt fails, so it is not affected. The stack-resident literal addrinfo chain never escapes its frame — both bsd_create_bound_socket and bsd_create_udp_socket call bsd_bind_freeaddrinfo before every return and keep no pointer into it afterwards.

Extended reasoning...

The change replaces getaddrinfo with a Rust literal parser (Bun__parseBindAddress) across uSockets' three bind constructors, the cluster primary bind and dgram fd bind, plus zone stripping in server.url; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface, only socket address parsing at an FFI boundary. Three findings are posted inline (a pre-existing UDP IPV6_V6ONLY leak now reached by the literal path, and two test-gating nits), and this note records the sibling listen path and the stack addrinfo lifetime as checked and not affected.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

🟣 packages/bun-usockets/src/bsd.c — After merging, a UDP bind on an IPv6 literal whose IPV6_V6ONLY setsockopt fails leaks an open socket on every attempt, and the caller gets *err of 0 with no error reason. bsd_create_udp_socket returns at bsd.c:1890 without bsd_close_socket(listenFd), without bsd_bind_freeaddrinfo and without writing *err, while the PR rewrote the three sibling exits at bsd.c:1869, 1882 and 1907 to release the chain. Repeated binds then exhaust descriptors (EMFILE) for the whole process. Fix: on that exit write *err (errno / WSAGetLastError), close listenFd and call bsd_bind_freeaddrinfo(result, &literal), matching the sibling exits.

Why this was flagged

Trigger: Bun.udpSocket({hostname: "::1"}) or dgram udp6 bind through udp.c:240 → bsd_create_udp_socket when setsockopt(IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY) fails (packages/bun-usockets/src/bsd.c:1889). The function returns LIBUS_SOCKET_ERROR at bsd.c:1890 with listenFd still open and *err left at the 0 that bsd_create_socket wrote (bsd.c:701), so the JS caller sees a failure with errno 0 and each retry leaks one fd. The dismissal called this pre-existing, and the base branch (base bsd.c IPV6_V6ONLY exit in bsd_create_udp_socket) does leak the fd too; but the PR edited every other exit of this function (bsd.c:1869, 1882, 1907, 1911) to route release through bsd_bind_freeaddrinfo and left this one, so the new literal path inherits the leak for every IPv6 literal bind while the REVIEW.md rule 'new early returns → re-audit everything acquired above them; fix the whole class' applies to the touched function. Population: any process binding IPv6 UDP sockets in a loop on a kernel or sandbox where the option is refused. Remedy: write *err, close the fd and free the chain on that exit.

Verification: pre-existing — acknowledged in diff: the PR description says "The IPV6_V6ONLY failure exit of the UDP walk is unchanged (#37720)". Trigger: any udp6 bind when setsockopt(IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY) fails. The exit at packages/bun-usockets/src/bsd.c:1890 does not call bsd_close_socket(listenFd). The base branch has the byte-identical exit at bsd.c:1807-1813, so merging does not make the base worse.

macOS: its resolver takes a zone that net.isIP() refuses, in Node.js too, so the rows for such a zone run on Linux only. In a cluster primary the resolver also answered ::ffff:127.0.0.1 for a udp6 socket on 127.0.0.1. The primary now refuses an address of the other family with EINVAL, as the handle of Node.js does, and does not ask the resolver. Windows: ::1 does not bind with the index of an interface, in Node.js too, so the zone "1" is not in the rows there. bsd_create_udp_socket: when setsockopt(IPV6_V6ONLY) fails, report the error, close the socket and free the chain, as the other exits do. The zone rows skip with a reason on a host that has no ::1, where they were not registered at all.

robobun · 2026-10-30T09:00:51Z

The second review raised three optional points. All three are in 874aa5a.

bsd_create_udp_socket: when setsockopt(IPV6_V6ONLY) fails, the exit now reports the error, closes the socket and frees the chain, as the other exits do. A new row in test/js/bun/udp/udp_socket.test.ts makes that call fail with an LD_PRELOAD shim. On main the bind reports no code and 64 sockets stay open. usockets: close the fd and report errno when the UDP IPV6_V6ONLY setsockopt fails #37720 has the same change, with a fault rule for the other IPV6_V6ONLY sites.
test/js/bun/udp/dgram.test.ts: the zone row skips on a host with no IPv6 loopback socket.
The zone rows skip with a reason on a host with no ::1, at the four sites. They were not registered there.

The same commit has the changes for the first CI run:

macOS: the resolver takes ::1%x y, and Node.js listens on it there too. The rows for a zone that net.isIP() refuses run on Linux only.
macOS: in a cluster primary the resolver answered ::ffff:127.0.0.1 for a udp6 socket on 127.0.0.1. The primary now answers EINVAL for an address of the other family, as the handle of Node.js does.
Windows: ::1%1 is EADDRNOTAVAIL in Node.js and in Bun, so the zone 1 is not in the rows there.

Skip the fe80::1%1 assertion when the host assigns fe80::1.

The test expects EADDRNOTAVAIL for fe80::1%1. Its guard checks only for ::1. On a host that assigns fe80::1 to interface index 1, listen succeeds and the assertion fails. This assumption predates the PR.

The review of 874aa5a has two follow-up comments. Neither changes the code.

fe80::1%1 in test/js/bun/net/tcp-server.test.ts: not changed. The row runs on Linux only, and index 1 is the loopback interface there. The Linux kernel gives that interface ::1 and no link-local address. A host where someone adds fe80::1 to lo is not a test configuration.
The require("bun:internal-for-testing") in test/js/bun/udp/dgram.test.ts: not changed. The 13 other uses in that file on main have the same form. A module-scope import goes into the import block that net, tls: consolidate the open node:net, node:tls, Bun.connect, Bun.listen and usockets pull requests #46522 and http: consolidate the open fetch, Bun.serve, node:http, node:http2 and HTTP/3 pull requests #46528 change, and this PR merges with both without a conflict now.

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

Beyond the inline nit, I also checked the new stack-allocated addrinfo chain in packages/bun-usockets/src/bsd.c: every exit of bsd_create_bound_socket and bsd_create_udp_socket (including the new IPV6_V6ONLY failure path) goes through bsd_bind_freeaddrinfo, and the chain is never retained past the caller's frame, so the resolver/literal ownership split holds. The skip gating raised on the previous revision is addressed in the latest commits (it.skipIf(noIPv6Loopback).each(...) in tcp-server/udp_socket/bun-server, hasIPv6Loopback() in dgram.test.ts). The scope_index overflow change also reaches the TCP/QUIC connect path via Bun__parseIpAddress; that is the stated intent, not a regression.

Extended reasoning...

Findings-present ruled-out note: the stack addrinfo chain ownership in bsd.c, the cluster into_storage() type on the cfg(not(windows)) arm, and the prior-run skip-gating nits were re-checked against the latest commits and hold; the duplicated single-address listen body (bsd_bind_listen_addr next to bsd_bind_listen_fd) is a stated design choice tied to in-flight PRs that a human maintainer should weigh.

claude

I reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; the earlier inline nits (skip gating for the zone tables, stderr: "" in the two shim subprocess tests) are addressed in the code. Because this rewires the bind path of every TCP/UDP server in uSockets across three platforms plus a new Rust-to-C export, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

bsd.c: every exit of bsd_create_udp_socket, bsd_create_bound_socket and the new bsd_bind_listen_addr/bsd_create_listen_socket_addr closes the fd and only frees a real resolver chain (bsd_bind_freeaddrinfo compares against the stack literal); the single-address listen body matches bsd_bind_listen_fd step for step and additionally writes *error.
parse_bind_address/Bun__parseBindAddress: null checks, parse_strict then parse_zoned_ipv6_host, scope_index overflow now yields 0; without_ipv6_zone keeps [::1] intact and strips [::1%lo] to ::1 so the URL formatters re-add brackets.
cluster_raw_bind: ss is assigned from into_storage() before create_and_bind; family mismatch returns -EINVAL instead of reaching the resolver; the getaddrinfo fallback is unchanged.
Tests: shim/EMFILE subprocess tests drain stdout/stderr concurrently and assert exact {code, syscall}; cc is skipIf-gated as in sibling tests.

Extended reasoning...

The change replaces the getaddrinfo path for IP-literal bind hosts in uSockets' three bind constructors (bsd.c), adds a Rust parse_bind_address exported as Bun__parseBindAddress, routes the cluster primary and node:dgram fd bind through the same parser, and strips IPv6 zones from server.url/base URI. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface, but it is a ~900-line cross-platform change to the socket-creation path used by every Bun.listen/Bun.serve/udpSocket/net/http/dgram server, with intentional observable changes (listen errors now carry code/errno/syscall, cluster udp6 on an IPv4 literal is EINVAL on macOS). No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files, and the only third-party review threads were resolved by a non-author. The bug hunt ran dry with no findings and prior nits are addressed, but the scope and platform sensitivity put it beyond an approve-without-human-look.
