Problem

• Under bun test --isolate, a file's Module._extensions handler is skipped for each path an earlier file loaded. requireFromIsolatedModuleCache (src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp:796) takes the cached source first.
• Handlers outlive their file: swap_global_for_test_isolation keeps VirtualMachine.commonjs_custom_extensions, so the next file's require() calls them.

Fix

• The swap empties that table. requireFromIsolatedModuleCache asks it before the cache. On a match the handler runs and the path leaves the cache at file end.
• A thread-pool transpile job owns its copy of the registered extensions: the JS thread frees the VM's list.
• Verified: test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts, require-extensions.test.ts (15 new tests, 12 fail on main), node:module, macro, transpiler-cache.
• Self-reviewed: 44 concerns raised, 17 addressed (rest in Notes).

Background

• --isolate gives each file a fresh global. --isolate=modules keeps one global, so it stays as on main. IsolatedModuleCache keeps transpiled sources by path.
• Bun copies each Module._extensions assignment into a VM table that Bun__transpileFile reads.
• Considered a loader term in madeFromHash: it cannot call handlers.

Downsides

• With a handler set, every file transpiles each matching require(): 101.5M to 114.4M instructions for 20 files, 79.5M to 356.8M for files under 4 KiB.
• Then under --coverage, peak RSS grows from 105 MB to 412 MB (200 files, 300 modules), and a path loaded with other text restarts its coverage. A file that fails alone fails in the suite.
• Without a handler, under --isolate: +6 instructions per require(), +57 per file. bun run: +0. +43 per thread-pool transpile, +3,072 bytes.

Notes

The rebases. The branch was rebased onto main 3f3a9ff, which has #44833 (requireFromIsolatedModuleCache(), the madeFromHash stamp, --isolate=modules). One hunk conflicted: the lookup block of fetchCommonJSModule. The first eight commits are the earlier eight, replayed. Two things differ from the head before the rebase (8f9614d):

• The check is inside requireFromIsolatedModuleCache(), after its canUse(), and only for a load with no plugin contents. An earlier text of this PR proposed the check in front of the call in fetchCommonJSModule. That form calls canUse() twice for each require() and gives plain bun run a new branch. The plugin-contents caller is not checked: Bun__transpileVirtualModule does not read the table.
• The check takes the key's StringImpl, so nothing is built before the test for an empty table.

On 11-04 the branch was rebased again, onto main b9f2ec3. Main had changed the job's run function, and one hunk conflicted in RuntimeTranspilerStore.rs: two lines of context around the job's list. The diff is otherwise the same. An eleventh commit, tests only, then made the --isolate=modules test count the calls of its handler (8aec2e1). A twelfth, tests only, changed that after a review: the test now checks whose handler is called, not how often (2147e94).

On 11-09 the branch was rebased a third time, onto main af566a3. Main has the rewritten AOT compiler there (#47942), which changed four files of this PR in other places. Nothing conflicted, and the diff is the same (292be13). On 11-10 it was rebased onto main 98cda0d, which has more of the AOT compiler (#48120) and changed five files of this PR in other places. Again nothing conflicted (18bdbba). A thirteenth commit, tests only, then named four tests of this PR in test/aot/runner-suites.known.txt (head 4a30e1e). See "Under --aot".

--isolate=modules is left as on main. That mode keeps one global, and with it the table: the handlers of finished files stay registered, and nothing empties them. The ninth commit turned the check on there too. The self-review then found two suites that pass on main and failed with it, and I reproduced both on release builds of main and of dc38111:

• A --preload handler whose body calls require(), five test files. Main: 5 pass. With the check: 1 pass, 4 fail with ModuleGraph has been disposed. The handler that the table holds is the one of the first file, and the check sent it the paths that the cache has.
• A file wraps .js and assigns the original back, and a later file requires a cached .js file with JSX. Main: 3 pass. With the check: 2 pass, 1 fail. The assignment leaves an entry in the table (on main too), and in this mode it stays for the run.

The tenth commit makes NodeModuleModule__requireExtensionsSelect false when the global is shared and removes the drain from Bun__TestFile__leaveModuleGraph. Both suites pass again, and the reported pair fails in that mode as it does on main. To turn the check on there, the mode first has to give each file its own Module._extensions (a decision for the owner of the mode), and #38854 has to land, because a re-run preload assigns from a statement that ran before.

What was run.

• On the current head 18bdbba (main 98cda0d), debug (ASAN) build: test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts and test/js/node/module/require-extensions.test.ts together give 188 pass, 2 skip, 1 fail. The 15 tests of this PR pass. The failure is main's bun test --isolate=modules > no other builtin module patches a global class when it loads, as on the head before. Two tests of main's test/aot pass on that build when each runs alone: require.extensions[ext] = handler in the program, two files between (left-import-order.test.ts) and a text that nobody has read comes in: TAKEN-OUT-a-key-that-nobody-reads. Seven test/aot files that name Module._extensions did not end in 25 minutes when they ran together on it, with seven failures (a build or a run with --aot that exits 1). The two above are of those seven.
• On the head before (292be13, main af566a3), the same kind of build gave 188 pass, 2 skip, 1 fail for the two files, with the same failure: its inner test has the default 5 s timeout and took 5.4 s. With main's sources under src/ it took 6.5 s and failed the same way, and the two files gave 175 pass, 2 skip, 14 fail: that test and 13 of the 15. The two of this PR that pass there are the in-flight transpile test and the --isolate=modules test.
• On that build of 292be13, the other suites showed only failures that depend on the speed of the build. isolation-one-module-fetched-twice, parallel, parallel-startup-failure, require-extensions-override, 22929-module-extensions-asi, node-module-module, run-cjs and transpiler-cache give 194 pass, 2 skip, 2 fail when they run together: two tests of parallel.test.ts (one needs three files to land on three workers, one is a coverage test that ran 7.4 s). parallel.test.ts alone gives 56 pass, 1 skip, 0 fail in one run and fails the worker test in the next. module-graph, module-graph-isolation, debugger-buntranspiledmodule and coverage give 754 pass, 1 todo, 3 fail together: three module-graph-isolation tests that took 5.3 to 5.7 s against the 5 s default. A second run of that file failed two other tests, and those two pass alone in 4.6 and 4.9 s.
• On 2147e94 (main b9f2ec3) the same kind of build gave 189 pass, 2 skip, 0 fail for the two files, 196 pass, 2 skip, 0 fail for the first group of suites and 757 pass, 1 todo, 0 fail for the second.
• The other items are from the head before the second rebase, 0c6e77f on main 3f3a9ff.
• Debug (ASAN) build: test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts and test/js/node/module/require-extensions.test.ts together give 188 pass, 2 skip, 1 fail. The 15 tests of this PR pass. The failure is main's bun test --isolate=modules > no other builtin module patches a global class when it loads: its inner test has the default 5 s timeout and takes longer on this debug build. It fails the same way with main's sources, and it passes on both release builds.
• Release builds: main 3f3a9ff fails 12 of the 15 and skips the 2 ASAN tests. The one that passes there is the --isolate=modules test: that mode is left as on main. That head: 189 pass, 2 skip.
• With main's sources under src/, a debug build fails the require-extensions.test.ts ASAN test and passes the in-flight transpile test, as said under Tests. That run was on the tests of dc38111.
• node-module-module.test.js, module-sourcemap.test.js, test/regression/issue/require-extensions-override.test.ts, test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts and test/cli/run/transpiler-cache.test.ts passed on the debug build of dc38111. In module-graph.test.ts and module-graph-isolation.test.ts, 17 tests reached the 5 s default timeout when seven files ran together on that build. One of them that I ran again alone passed. The dynamicImport rows of module-graph.test.ts do not pass alone on a debug build: their child makes 3,000 import() calls and takes 7.2 s, with the right output and exit code 0.

Under --aot. Main's test/aot/runner-suites/isolation.test.ts (#48120) runs isolation.test.ts with --aot on every child run, and test/aot/runner-suites.known.txt names the tests that fail so. Four tests of this PR do, on every lane where they run (build 139676), and the thirteenth commit names them there:

• Three store a loader for a .js file that has TypeScript in it (module.exports = 1 as number). A compiled run reads a file whose path is written out by the file's own extension at the build, and the build stops with TS8016. docs/compiler/compatibility.mdx says that a stored loader is only called for a path that is made at run time.
• The ASAN test in isolation.test.ts holds a transpile with macros, and a macro stops the build of a compiled run with TS100053.

The other ten tests of this PR in isolation.test.ts pass with compiled child runs on CI's lanes. On a local debug build, three of those ten ended in a crash of the AOT compiler (SEGV in WTF::removeIterator, under JSC::AOT::Typed::LinkFlow): 3 of 14 child runs, and 1 of 2 runs of one fixture alone. CI's lanes do not show it. Nothing tracks it yet: it is in the AOT compiler, outside this PR.

The report. It came from a fuzzing run, not from a user, and there is no issue for it. Two test files, the same but for a number. Each requires the other's .js file, then wraps Module._extensions['.js'], then requires a new file and its own file. Under --isolate the second file printed WRONG | file 2 | this file's hook sees a path that this file loads for the first time. Alone it passed. The files of the report were lost with the build container, so I wrote the pair again to this description. Release builds, 10 runs each: main 3f3a9ff exits 0 in 0 runs under --isolate, --parallel=2 and --isolate=modules. This head exits 0 in 10 of 10 under --isolate and under --parallel=2, and in 0 of 10 under --isolate=modules. On the release build 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9 the pair exits 0 in 1 of 10 runs under --parallel=2: there the result depends on which worker takes a file.

Who this reaches on main: a handler that a test file sets for a path that an earlier file loaded, a path that is imported first and then required under a hook, and a file that relies by accident on a handler that an earlier file left (for example a package that registers an extension when it is required). A --preload hook that passes each file to the loader it replaced already gets the right module on main. With this PR it is called in every file and only gets slower.

The commits. The first commit is the reset, with three tests that pass on it alone. It does not turn the reported pair: that needs the second commit, the check and the eviction. The second commit must not sit on a tree without the first. With the check alone, the handler that a finished file left would answer paths that main takes from the cache. The third commit is the transpile job's own list. The reset frees the resolver's list at each swap, so the first commit needs the third one. The fourth commit makes the eviction a set of paths. The next four are small: the caller of transpile() makes the copy (clippy does not let a safe public function read through a raw pointer), and the tests check more and no longer depend on speed or on the file order of a --parallel worker. The ninth and tenth commits are the --isolate=modules arm and its removal, as said above. The eleventh and twelfth change the test of that mode. The thirteenth names four tests in main's list of the tests that fail with compiled child runs. The reset and the job's list are the first, third and fifth commits (29 source lines in four Rust files). They do not use anything of the other commits.

What the stale table did on main. File 1 leaves a .js handler. File 2 never touches Module._extensions and requires a path that nobody loaded. The handler of file 1 runs, and the module sees the globalThis of file 1. require.resolve("./name") also still found name.foo through file 1's .foo. The same file 2 alone, and the pair with BUN_FEATURE_FLAG_DISABLE_ISOLATION_SOURCE_CACHE=1, showed that the cache was not the cause of this half. A file that wraps .js and puts the native loader back left .js mapped to the plain JS loader, so a later file could not require() a .js file with JSX. With eight files that each leave a handler for an extension of their own, eight globals stayed alive (this PR: two).

The check. Bun__transpileFile reads the table in two places. With a built-in extension registered it matches the specifier as given. With only made-up extensions it matches the path without its ?query. NodeModuleModule__requireExtensionsSelect returns false at once for an empty table and for --isolate=modules, and otherwise true for either match. It does not tell a handler from a built-in loader that was assigned to the extension: both take the miss path, where Bun__transpileFile decides. Imports are not touched: Bun__transpileFile reads the table for require() only.

The eviction. The saved source map (SavedSourceMap) has one entry for a path, and the last transpile replaces it. A handler, or a built-in loader assigned to another extension, can load a cached path with a loader that prints other text. With the check alone the cache kept the first provider beside the second source map, and a later file that threw in that path reported x.js:11:31 where main and the file alone report x.js:9:13. A load that found nothing cached left its own source, made by the other loader, for the next file. So requireFromIsolatedModuleCache records the path of the key (the key without its ?query) in a set, and Zig__GlobalObject__createForTestIsolation evicts every cached key of a recorded path when the test file ends. The unit is the path because the table matches by it and the source map is the path's: a file can have one source in the cache for x.js and one for x.js?q. The eviction is one pass over the cache, and only after a file that recorded a path.

An eviction right after the load was built first, on the earlier base. It made require(x) then import(x) in one file transpile x twice, and it changed what that import gives under --isolate. The eviction at the end of the file keeps the results inside a file as they are on main. A skip in insert() for the recorded paths, which a review of 8aec2e1 proposed, has the same effect on that import (see "Not in the fixtures").

Why not madeFromHash. #44833 stamps each cached provider with a hash of what it was made from, and lookup() compares it. Read from the code, not built: a term for the loader that the table selects would make a lookup miss after the table changed. It cannot make every lookup miss while a function handler is registered, and that miss is what calls the handler. It is also a stamp on one key, and the source map is the path's: a load of x.js?q with another loader would leave the provider of x.js beside the new map.

Found on the way, fixed by #38854. An assignment to Module._extensions from a statement that ran before does not reach the table: the put inline cache of the statement stores the value, and JSCommonJSExtensions::put is not called. In plain bun run, a function that assigns a .js handler and is called twice leaves the first handler active. It prints A, A on the debug build of this tree and on release 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9, and A, B in Node. #38854 turns property caching off for that object. This PR does not change it. Under --isolate=modules a --preload that assigns a handler runs the same compiled code for each file, so only the first file's assignment reaches the table. That is why the preload test here runs under --isolate only.

The job's copy of the transpiler has a second field of this kind, which this PR does not touch: resolver.custom_dir_paths, set on the JS thread for the length of a require.resolve(id, { paths }). On release builds of main and of this head, 13 to 24 of 24 import()s that were transpiled during such a call resolved a relative macro import in the paths directory. That is reported on its own.

The transpile job. A transpile job on the thread pool works on a bytewise copy of vm.transpiler. The resolver in the copy kept the pointer to extra_cjs_extensions, the list of extensions that Module._extensions registered, and MacroContext::call resolves a macro import with that resolver. The JS thread frees the list each time the table changes, and the reset of this PR frees it at each swap. On an ASAN build the job then reports AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free in Resolver::load_as_file (src/resolver/resolver.rs). Main has the same report in plain bun run, when Module._extensions changes while an import() of a file with a macro is transpiled (freed by on_require_extension_modify, src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs:166). The only reader on a pool thread is the resolve of a macro import that needs extension probing (a missing file, a directory, a package root). The caller of RuntimeTranspilerStore::transpile now copies the list on the JS thread, next to aot_package_config, and the job's resolver reads that copy. A comment under that place said that the resolver shares its options with the parent transpiler. It holds its own copy, so the comment is deleted.

Tests. Fourteen tests in test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts and one in test/js/node/module/require-extensions.test.ts, each a bun test or bun child.

• Under --isolate and under a --parallel=2 worker: the handlers of the first file are gone in the later files, require.resolve no longer finds a made-up extension, and after a file sets a handler and puts the loader back, a later file loads a .js file with JSX. The fixture has four files because the worker takes them in the order a, b, d, c, and the JSX file checks a marker that the file before it writes. Also: eight files that each leave a handler keep at most 4 globals alive.
• Under both of those: the handlers of a file see paths that an earlier file loaded (.js, .ts, a path first imported as an ES module, a made-up extension with and without a ?query, a handler that loads nothing, .js = .json), and a path that no handler selects is still answered by the cache.
• A --preload handler is called in every file.
• One file: a require() that threw and is retried after a handler is set, and a Bun.ModuleGraph that requires a path its host loaded.
• Three files, the second with the TypeScript loader for .js (assigned, and called from a function): the third file gets a syntax error for TypeScript in a .js file, and all three report the same position for a throw in a shared module.
• Two files: the first loads typed.js with the TypeScript loader, and an import() of it in the second is rejected with the syntax error. An import has its own lookup in the cache, with no check of the table, so only the eviction keeps the source away.
• Three files and a ?query, in both orders: a handler loads thrower.foo?query and the next file loads thrower.foo, and the reverse. The next file reports the position that the first file reported.
• --isolate=modules: three files and a --preload handler whose body calls require() all pass, and each call of a handler comes from the file that its preload ran for. The test does not count the calls. This one passes on main. It fails when the check is on in that mode: the handler of the first file is then called in the second and third file, which fail with ModuleGraph has been disposed.
• ASAN builds only: a file sets a handler and leaves an import() of a file with macros running when it ends. The first macro holds the transpile on the pool thread until the next test file runs, the second one is missing and makes the resolver read the list, and the third one tells the next file that the read is past. So the order does not depend on speed. This one passes on main, which has no reset. It fails with the reset and no copy.
• ASAN builds only, in require-extensions.test.ts: plain bun run, Module._extensions changes while an import() of a file with a macro is transpiled. It fails on main.

Checked before the rebase by removing statements one at a time: the resolver list reset, the count reset, the ?query arm of the check, the drain at the swap, the ?query cut of the path and the job's own list each fail a test.

Numbers. Release builds of main 3f3a9ff and of the head 0c6e77f (before the second rebase, same diff), same flags, each in its own worktree. valgrind, perf and strace are not available in the build container. Instruction counts per path are gdb single-step counts of one call, and the call counts come from the same runs. Totals are instructions:u from perf_event_open, medians of 5 or more runs. Peak RSS is ru_maxrss of one run.

The thread-pool row was measured on dc38111. The tenth commit does not change that code.

Suites of 20 test files under --isolate. "Pass-through" is a preload with Module._extensions['.js'] = (module, filename) => original(module, filename). The on-disk transpiler cache takes sources of 4 KiB and more.

Memory under --coverage: 200 test files that each require the same 300 CommonJS modules, with the pass-through preload, --isolate --coverage, on-disk cache off. Peak RSS is 105 MB on main and 412 MB here. Without --coverage it is 89 MB and 84 MB, and with --coverage and no preload 118 MB and 107 MB (these two pairs on dc38111). Each load that a handler runs makes a new source, and the coverage records of a source are kept until the run ends. A handler that goes through module._compile has this growth on main today: 407 MB for the same suite.

Who pays: a handler that passes a file to the loader it replaced. The pirates default does that for each file in node_modules, and so do sucrase/register, esbuild-register, @swc-node/register and the files that ts-node ignores. Main answered those from the cache after the first test file. A handler that calls module._compile for a file (@babel/register, tsx) already transpiled it in every test file on main, because _compile output never reaches the cache.

Where the cost is: the native function behind Module._extensions['.js'] never reads the cache. It can read it once a cached source records which loader made it. For .js that also needs #47216, because that function forces the plain JS loader today and a .js path selects the JSX one.

Measured before the rebase, not run again. Release builds of main f7607a3 and of the head 8f9614d. The drain after a file that loaded 126 paths through a handler took 46,672 instructions. The job slot grew by 16 bytes (408 bytes).

A suite that passes on main can fail. In five two-file suites the last file fails alone on both builds, passes in the pair on main, and fails in the pair with this PR:

• a .js file with JSX after a file set a handler and assigned the native loader back, or under a pass-through .js preload, and a .tsx file under a pirates hook that falls back to the .js loader. node:module: let the .js extension handler pick the loader from the file name #47216 removes these three.
• an ES module that imports a path whose handler only set module.exports (Failed to evaluate module), and a handler that calls module._compile with ES module source (Unexpected keyword 'export'). Both fail in plain bun run on main and run in Node. Neither is changed here.

Coverage. The coverage table keeps one text for a path (#43158). In a three-file fixture whose second file loads x.js with the TypeScript loader, --isolate --coverage reports 25.00 % of functions for x.js where main reports 75.00. Main reports 50.00 with the source cache off. A coverageThreshold can fail for that reason. A pass-through handler prints the same text and changes nothing. No test row is added for this: coverage.test.ts already pins the rule ("a file that changed between two loads reports the last text alone").

Still different from a file that runs alone. 22 two-file fixtures compared what the last file prints in the pair with what it prints alone: 14 were equal with this PR, 2 on main. The other 8:

• The cache keeps a source that something other than the path selected, and a later file with no handler gets it: an import attribute (with { type: "js" } on a .txt, 3 fixtures), a module that a macro's module imports (2), require() of an unknown extension followed by import of the same path (1), and a program that calls Module._extensions['.ts'](module, "x.js") itself (1). The rule "keep only what the path's own loader made" belongs in IsolatedModuleCache::insert. A working patch for it existed and is not in this PR. An eviction in the built-in loader functions would close the last one and is not taken here for the same reason.
• A test file whose own source is in the cache when it runs as the entry point (1 fixture). bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 changed this on main: the cache now tells an entry point from an import of the same file. That fixture is not run again.

Not in the fixtures:

• Positions. The source map is the path's, the cached provider is the first one. After a cached load of thrower.js, an import of it with { type: "ts" } or a direct Module._extensions['.ts'](module, path) leaves the cached provider beside the other text's map, and a later file reports a throw at thrower.js:4:27 where it is at 4:13. Both were the same on main, and both also happen inside one file in plain bun run. The owner is SavedSourceMap (one map per path). The eviction here covers only the require() that the table answers.
• Inside one test file, a load that asks no handler can get the source of a load that a handler answered. With Module._extensions[".js"] = Module._extensions[".ts"] and a .js file with TypeScript in it, three sequences give the module under --isolate and Expected ";" but found "as" without it: a require() that throws in the module body and runs again after the handler is deleted, a require() then vi.resetModules() then an import(), and a require() then an import() by a Bun.ModuleGraph. Main does the same. delete require.cache[path] evicts the key, so a load after it is right. A rule in IsolatedModuleCache::insert() that skips a path which a handler answered in the running file closes the three (built: 4 lines, and 3 instructions for each source that enters the cache, from an -O3 compile of the file). It is not in this PR, because it also changes require(x) then import(x) in one file. There the import gets the loaded module today under --isolate, as in Node 26.3.0. With the rule it gets what plain bun test gives: the syntax error, or for a made-up extension the path of the file. The cause is in fetchESMSourceCode, which transpiles a file whose CommonJS module is already loaded. That is reported on its own, and the rule can follow it.
• After a handler is set and the native loader is assigned back, the table still has an entry for the extension until the file ends. The require()s of that extension in that file take the miss path.
• An import() that the cache answers with a CommonJS provider puts the module into require.cache in the same tick. A require() of that path later in that tick finds it there and calls no handler.
• With a handler on a built-in extension and one on a made-up extension, require("./x.foo?query") skips the handler of the made-up extension. That is the same on main, also in plain bun run: the two reads of the table in Bun__transpileFile treat the ?query differently.
• Bun.s3: the default client is kept on the VM, so a later file gets the client of the first file. That is the same on main and is not changed here.

Found by the review of the rebased diff, not fixed here:

• A load with an import attribute under a table entry is not recorded: the check sits behind the cache's own gate, which is off for a type attribute. The source of that load can stay for the next file.
• A thread-pool transpile that ends after its file's eviction still puts its source into the cache. It can then sit beside a source map that a handler's load made.

Other open PRs and order.

• node:module: let the .js extension handler pick the loader from the file name #47216 makes the built-in .js handler pick the loader from the file name, so a pass-through load equals the default load. If it lands first, three of the five suite shapes above that turn red never do.
• node:module: select the Module._extensions handler of a require() with one rule, and pass it the file name #47527 (stacked on node:module: let the .js extension handler pick the loader from the file name #47216) selects the handler of a require() with one function and removes has_mutated_built_in_extensions. Whichever of the two lands second has to adapt: the check here becomes one call of that function, and the reset loses one line.
• require.extensions: assignments from a repeated statement no longer bypass the loader table #38854 makes every assignment to Module._extensions reach the table. It is independent of this PR. --isolate=modules needs it before the check can be on there.
• macros: resolve macro imports with a resolver for Bun, so the "macro" export condition applies #46802 carries the same hunk for the job's own list. Whichever lands second drops it.
• Share one value between import and require() of a data file, per loader #35973 adds a "path selected the loader" flag on ResolvedSource. node:module: route CommonJS evaluation through an overridden Module.prototype._compile #45322 edits Module._extensions handling next to these lines.

One PR or two. The last review recommends a stack of two: the reset with the job's list first (29 source lines, no design question, it also fixes the use-after-free on main), then the check with the eviction after #47216. The commits are ordered for that. It is one PR here because the reported pair needs both halves. The maintainer decides.

Self-review. A first review cut a wider version of this change (10 source files, with the insert-side rule, a has_loaded change and a macro-mode rule) down to the reset and the check. The second review, of the version before the rebase, raised 19 concerns, and 17 were addressed. The automatic reviews of the first push found the transpile job's read of the freed list and the ?query keys that stayed in the cache. The third and fourth commits are for those.

The third review, of the rebased diff, raised 44 concerns. 17 are addressed:

• In code and tests (6): the check is off under --isolate=modules, which also makes the two statements about that mode true, the false comment under the job's list is gone, an import() test covers the eviction for the other lookup, and a test pins --isolate=modules.
• In this text (11): the order with require.extensions: assignments from a repeated statement no longer bypass the loader table #38854, node:module: let the .js extension handler pick the loader from the file name #47216, node:module: select the Module._extensions handler of a require() with one rule, and pass it the file name #47527 and macros: resolve macro imports with a resolver for Bun, so the "macro" export condition applies #46802, that the report is from fuzzing, who is reached on main, the cost with an entry registered, the memory under --coverage, the exact reach of the use-after-free, the --parallel result that depends on the worker, and the two gaps above.

Not taken, with the reason:

• The two-PR stack (5 concerns): left to the maintainer, see above.
• A built-in loader that is assigned back to its own extension still counts as an entry (3): to skip it, the check needs the loader that the path selects, which Bun__transpileFile works out. node:module: select the Module._extensions handler of a require() with one rule, and pass it the file name #47527 puts that rule in one function, and node:module: let the .js extension handler pick the loader from the file name #47216 makes .js equal.
• An insert-side rule, or a source map that belongs to its provider (3): both change what one file caches. The first review cut the insert-side rule from this PR.
• The table read from the live object, or moved to the realm (4): see "Not in this PR".
• The job's other field and a test that needs the job's list (3): the other field is a separate defect, reported on its own. Both ASAN tests pass with an empty list in the job, so the copy is not pinned by a test.
• More test rows (4): rows that stay meaningful after node:module: let the .js extension handler pick the loader from the file name #47216, a jsdom row, an AOT row, a row for the realm of a module that a leftover handler loads.
• Work for --isolate=modules (2): a per-file Module._extensions there is for the owner of that mode. One concern asked to keep the check on in that mode. The two suites above are the reason it is off.
• One concern each, not checked by me and not taken: the relation to node:module: route CommonJS evaluation through an overridden Module.prototype._compile #45322, module.enableCompileCache() state that outlives a file, and a statement about proxyquire.

The automatic review of 8aec2e1 had two findings. The --isolate=modules test no longer counts the calls of its handler (taken, twelfth commit). The skip in insert() is not taken, for the reason under "Not in the fixtures".

Not in this PR. The table could belong to the global, read at load as Node does. That removes the reset and the copy, changes plain bun run, and is a larger change.

Status

Reproduced with two test files in the shape of the report: each requires the other's .js file, wraps Module._extensions['.js'], then requires a new file and its own file. On a release build of main 3f3a9ff, bun test --isolate ./extcachejs-1.test.ts ./extcachejs-2.test.ts exits 1 in 10 of 10 runs with WRONG | file 2 | this file's hook sees a path that this file loads for the first time. Each file passes alone. Before the first rebase the files of the report gave the same result on a release build of main f7607a3 in 30 of 30 runs.

With a release build of this branch at 0c6e77f the pair exits 0 in 10 of 10 runs under --isolate and under --parallel=2. Under --isolate=modules this PR changes nothing: the pair exits 1 there, as on main. The PR text says why.

The branch was rebased onto main af566a3 on 11-09 and onto main 98cda0d on 11-10 (both have the rewritten AOT compiler). Nothing conflicted and the diff of the fix is the same. The head is 4a30e1e: the rebased commits and one commit that adds four lines to test/aot/runner-suites.known.txt. On a debug (ASAN) build of 18bdbba, test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts and test/js/node/module/require-extensions.test.ts give 188 pass, 2 skip, 1 fail. The 15 tests of this PR pass. The failure is a test of main with a 5 s timeout that takes longer on that build, also with main's sources. With main's sources under src/ (measured at af566a3), 13 of the 15 tests of this PR fail.

CI. Build 139696 of the head 4a30e1e is green: all 188 jobs passed. The builds before it on 11-09 and 11-10 were red for two reasons that are gone. One was a test of main that compared the sizes of two executables (test/aot/loader-access-in-unreachable-code.test.ts), which main changed in #48120. The other was main's new test/aot/runner-suites/isolation.test.ts, which runs isolation.test.ts with --aot on every child run: four tests of this PR cannot pass so, and they are now named in main's list of such tests. Three of them load a .js file with TypeScript in it through a stored loader (the build of a compiled run stops with TS8016), and the ASAN test uses macros (TS100053). The other ten pass with compiled child runs.

Walkthrough

The change resets Module._extensions between isolated test files and checks active extension handlers before isolated module cache lookup. Selected cache paths are evicted when their global is retired. Transpiler jobs receive a copy of the resolver’s extra CommonJS extensions.

Changes

CommonJS extension handling in isolated tests

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reset and select extension handlers src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs, src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs, src/jsc/bindings/JSCommonJSExtensions.h, test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts	The VM resets custom CommonJS extension state after an isolated file swap. The selector checks registered extensions against the specifier and, when present, its pre-query portion. Tests cover handler behavior across isolated files.
Evict cache entries for retired globals src/jsc/bindings/BunClientData.h, src/jsc/bindings/IsolatedModuleCache.*, src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp, test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts	When an extension handler selects the specifier, the module loader queues its query-stripped cache path and skips cache lookup. Global replacement drains queued paths and evicts matching entries. Tests cover retries, Bun.ModuleGraph imports, dynamic imports, and module-isolation cache behavior.
Carry extension settings into transpiler jobs src/jsc/RuntimeTranspilerStore.rs, src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs, test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts, test/js/node/module/require-extensions.test.ts	Each transpiler job stores a copy of the resolver’s extra CommonJS extensions, and its worker applies that copy before parsing. Tests cover asynchronous transpilation while extension handlers change.

Store retirement keys in a set.

59-59: Minor · Performance & Scalability · Low value

Store retirement keys in a set.

A require() whose module is already in the require map returns in overridableRequire before the native load (src/js/builtins/CommonJS.ts:46-47). Cached requires therefore never reach the extension branch. The branch runs only when the module is missing from the map. That happens when a load throws and the map entry is cleared, or when require.cache deletes the key. Each such load appends the same key again. Use a set so each key is stored once. The drain still evicts each key, and evict is idempotent, so eviction behavior does not change.

Make the queried .foo load prove that its handler ran.

1781-1782: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Make the queried .foo load prove that its handler ran.

The b.test.ts fixture installs Module._extensions[".foo"] as the .js loader and asserts only toBeString() on ./thrower.foo?query. thrower.foo is plain JavaScript, so the default loader returns the same kind of string whether or not the handler runs. This assertion passes with the handler skipped. Printing the frame does not help here, because the .js loader produces the same frame. Record each call instead:

🧪 Suggested test change

-          Module._extensions[".foo"] = Module._extensions[".js"];
-          expect(throwerFrame("./thrower.foo?query")).toBeString();
+          const loadJs = Module._extensions[".js"];
+          const calls: string[] = [];
+          Module._extensions[".foo"] = (module: any, filename: string) => {
+            calls.push(filename);
+            return loadJs(module, filename);
+          };
+          expect(throwerFrame("./thrower.foo?query")).toBeString();
+          expect(calls.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);

Other assertions in this file already catch a skipped .foo handler for query paths. The handler-return checks at lines 1547-1565 and 1578-1582 fail if that handler is not called. This change makes the named test check the same behavior directly.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the import() lookup in fetchESMSourceCodeSync (src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp:1224) for the same cache-before-handler ordering — Bun__transpileFile only consults Module._extensions for require(), so that path is unaffected; and the &VirtualMachine / void* bunVM mismatch on the new extern "C" entry point — it is a pointer passthrough matching the existing Bun__VM__* externs.

Extended reasoning...

The PR touches the bun test --isolate global-swap path in VirtualMachine.rs, adds a Rust extern checked from fetchCommonJSModule, and adds per-VM key tracking on BunClientData with eviction in createForTestIsolation; no security-sensitive surface. Five inline findings were posted, so human review is already signaled; this note only records two adjacent concerns that were examined and ruled out.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

[robobun]

The two new commits (24e0029, 16f1a01) answer the review of c098846.

• Freed list read by a transpile job (NodeModuleModule.rs:204). Confirmed with ASAN, and main has the same read in plain bun run. A transpile job now copies the list of registered extensions on the JS thread when it is scheduled. Two ASAN tests fail without it.
• Keys stored once (IsolatedModuleCache.cpp). The record is now a set of paths.
• ?query keys of a path. The swap now evicts every cached key of a recorded path. The test runs both orders.
• The queried .foo load must prove that its handler ran. The handler is now a function that records its calls, and the test compares them. All the tests that do not need ASAN now fail on main.
• Cache read in the built-in loader for a pass-through handler. Not taken here. The reply in the thread gives the reason, and the notes name it as a follow-up.
• A restored native .js loader. Not changed here: node:module: let the .js extension handler pick the loader from the file name #47216 changes those lines.

Compare the queried frame with the unqueried frame in a.test.ts.

The queried frame for handled is checked only with toBeString(). throwerFrame returns any thrower.X:N:N match, so a wrong file or line in that frame still passes. This fixture loads the same file without a handler, so the frame from the next load is a valid reference.

Suggested fix

-          console.log("a.test.ts frame " + throwerFrame("${next}"));

Document the timing dependence in the in-flight macro test.

The test does not force the macro lookup in uses-a-macro.ts to run after a.test.ts's global retires. The inspected retirement path does not wait for the transpile job, and the job checks its generation only when it starts. If the lookup finishes before retirement, the test passes even when the stale-list read is present. The test's detection therefore depends on the timing of the 10,000-line parse.

A dedicated ordering signal would need test-only instrumentation, which costs more than this gap justifies. Stating the timing dependence in the test comment is the proportionate fix.

📝 Suggested comment update

           import("./uses-a-macro.ts").catch(() => {});
           // The thread pool takes its jobs in order, so the transpile above has started when this one is done.
+          // The read of the extension list happens late in that transpile. Nothing here forces it to run after retirement.

• not_unsafe_ptr_arg_deref in transpile(). Fixed without an allow: the caller copies the list next to aot_package_config and passes it in.
• Compare the queried frame with the unqueried frame. Done: the first file of the ?query test now expects both loads to report the same frame.
• Timing of the in-flight transpile test. The comment now says that the order is likely and not forced, and that a faster transpile makes the test pass without the read that it is for.

1816-1817: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Poor tradeoff

Note that this ASAN test may not reach the extension read.

The test passes whether or not the in-flight transpile reads the extension list after reset. Nothing in the test forces that order, so a regression in that read can go undetected on ASAN builds. A correct fix needs a synchronization point that the test does not have.

Update the isolation test so it synchronizes the in-flight transpile with the
extension-list read after reset, rather than relying on timing or file length.
Ensure the test waits until that read is reached before proceeding, so ASAN
builds exercise the regression path deterministically.

On the note about the ASAN test in isolation.test.ts (0216b88): no change. The comment of that test already says that the order is likely and not forced. A forced order needs a hook in src/ that exists only for the test.

The test that does not depend on timing is the one in test/js/node/module/require-extensions.test.ts. It changes Module._extensions in a loop until the import() settles, so the list that the job copied is always freed before the job reads it. It fails on every run without the job's own copy, and that copy is the one fix for both cases.

[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 the new extra_cjs_extensions aliasing in TranspilerJob (src/jsc/RuntimeTranspilerStore.rs:728-734): Resolver.opts is held by value, so the ptr::write lands in the ManuallyDrop bytewise copy rather than the VM's resolver, and the job's own Box is freed exactly once by store.put()'s drop_in_place, so the pool thread no longer reads the list the swap frees.

Extended reasoning...

The latest push adds the per-job copy of the registered extension list that the prior review asked for, plus the two caller/test commits. The one further concern examined here was whether the pool-thread write could reach the VM's own resolver options or leak the copied list; it does neither.

[robobun]

One more commit (819f4a9, tests only) answers the review of 0216b88.

• The ASAN test could pass without the read. It no longer depends on speed. A macro in the imported file holds the transpile until the next test file runs, and a second macro tells that file when the read of the list is past. With the per-job copy disabled it fails 5 of 5 runs.
• The --parallel worker variant ran the JSX load before the restore. The fixture now has four files, which the worker takes in the order a, b, d, c. The JSX file comes after the restore in both modes and checks a marker that the other file writes.
• require("./x.foo?query") with a built-in extension also registered. Confirmed on main in plain bun run. Not changed here. It needs its own decision about the two reads in transpile_file.

[claude]

I reviewed the latest push and found no new bugs; the two test-determinism nits from my last pass are addressed (the in-flight transpile is now held by a macro until the next file starts, and the JSX load asserts the restore ran first). Because this changes which require() calls the isolation source cache may answer and adds an unsafe alias of the job's extension list into the pool-thread transpiler copy, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The ptr::write/ptr::read alias in TranspilerJob::run: Resolver::opts is owned by value in the ManuallyDrop copy, so only the copy's dangling pointer is replaced and the job's Box remains the single owner that is dropped.
• The cache bypass in fetchCommonJSModule and the path-keyed eviction at the swap: the recorded set lives on per-VM client data, is deduped, and is exchanged out before the removeIf pass.
• The new in-flight macro fixture: the parser keeps visiting after a macro resolve error, so done() still writes its marker and b.test.ts cannot hang waiting for it.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches the CommonJS module loader (ModuleLoader.cpp), the per-VM IsolatedModuleCache and BunClientData, the test-isolation global swap in VirtualMachine.rs/ZigGlobalObject.cpp, and the RuntimeTranspilerStore thread-pool job, plus about 500 lines of new subprocess tests. It touches no auth, crypto, or injection surface, but it does add an unsafe cross-thread aliasing of a Box into a bytewise Transpiler copy and changes cache semantics under bun test --isolate, which is memory-safety-relevant native code. The bug hunt ran dry without findings and the latest commit only reworks tests to address earlier nits, but the complexity and the unsafe block mean a human should still look rather than merging on an automated approval. No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files and no third-party objection is outstanding (the coderabbit thread was resolved by a non-author).

[claude]

I reviewed this push and didn't find any bugs; because it adds unsafe aliasing on the transpiler thread-pool path and changes what the isolation source cache answers for require(), a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Per-job extra_cjs_extensions: the ptr::read into the ManuallyDrop transpiler copy is never dropped and store.put drops the job's own Box, so the list has one owner and pool jobs no longer read the VM's list.
• reset_require_extensions at the swap: clear_and_free reassigns the values Vec, so held Strong handler refs are released with the retired global.
• Eviction runs on both exits (createForTestIsolation and leaveModuleGraph) keyed by the query-stripped path, so x.js and x.js?q evict together in either direction.
• New tests drain stdout/stderr concurrently, ASAN-only cases are skipIf-gated, and the --parallel worker fixture pins its order with marker files.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches the test-isolation global swap (VirtualMachine.rs), the CommonJS extension table (NodeModuleModule.rs), the thread-pool transpile job (RuntimeTranspilerStore.rs, jsc_hooks.rs), and the isolation SourceProvider cache lookup/eviction in C++ (ModuleLoader.cpp, IsolatedModuleCache.cpp, ModuleGraph.cpp, ZigGlobalObject.cpp), plus about 530 lines of new tests. It touches no auth, crypto, or injection surface. The nine new commits restructure the PR and now reflect the earlier inline feedback (per-job list copy, path-set eviction, deterministic ordering in the ASAN and parallel-worker tests), and the bug hunt ran dry. It is not approved because it introduces new unsafe cross-thread ownership and alters module-loading semantics under --isolate, which warrants a maintainer's judgment on the design and the documented re-transpile cost.

Minor · Stability & Availability · Poor tradeoff

Stop the worker from bytewise-copying vm.transpiler while the JS thread can write it.

The worker copies the whole vm.transpiler with ptr::read. The JS thread can assign resolver.opts.extra_cjs_extensions during that copy. The overwrite that follows only fixes the copy's list, not the concurrent read. This is a data race under Rust's memory model. The race does not cause a crash on the current path, because the copied list is overwritten before any use. Copy only the fields the worker needs, or take a snapshot under a lock the JS thread also takes.

2595-2598: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Record handler calls in the --preload fixture and bound their count.

The test name says the cache answers shared.js before the handler. The assertions check only the returned value, the pass and fail counts, and the exit code. A run where the handler answers every require() returns the same value and still passes. The fixture should record each handler call, and the test should assert that at most one call occurs. The first uncached require("./shared.js") can reach the handler, so asserting zero calls across the whole run can fail.

[robobun]

The review of 1dec8b6 had two findings outside the inline threads.

• Handler calls in the --isolate=modules test. Done in 8aec2e1. The preload records each call of its handler, and the test expects exactly one call: the first load of shared.js.
• The bytewise copy of vm.transpiler on the pool thread. Not changed here. That copy is how main builds the job's transpiler, and the JS thread can assign several of its fields while a job copies it. This PR replaces one of them in the copy, the list of registered extensions, before anything reads it. The value that the copy took during the race is never read and never dropped. A job transpiler that is built from named fields is a larger change than this PR.

[claude]

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

[robobun]

Both findings of the last review are checked on debug builds of this branch and of main b9f2ec3.

1. The --isolate=modules test pinned the number of handler calls: taken, in 2147e94 (tests only).

The test no longer requires exactly one call. Each call now records the file that its preload ran for and the file that runs, and the two must be the same. That is the rule the test is for: no handler of a finished test file is called. The assertion also holds when each file of that mode has its own handlers: then there are three calls, each by the handler of the running file.

The test stays because it is the test of this PR that fails when NodeModuleModule__requireExtensionsSelect loses its shares_global condition. With the condition removed, the second and third file fail with ModuleGraph has been disposed, and the calls are recorded as handlerOf: a.test.cjs, calledIn: b.test.cjs.

2. A source that a handler shaped stays in the cache until the test file ends: the finding is right, the rule is not taken here.

The sequence in the finding does not reach the cache. delete require.cache[path] evicts the key ($evictIsolationSourceProviderCache, src/js/builtins/CommonJS.ts:328), so the require() and the import() after it both throw Expected ";" but found "as".

Three other sequences in one test file do reach it. In each, Module._extensions[".js"] = Module._extensions[".ts"] and typed.js is module.exports = 1 as number:

• a require() that throws in the module body, then delete Module._extensions[".js"], then the same require()
• a require(), then vi.resetModules(), then an import() of the path
• a require(), then new Bun.ModuleGraph().import(path)

Each gives 1 under --isolate and the syntax error without it, on main and on this branch.

I built the proposed rule: IsolatedModuleCache::insert() skips a path that is in isolationSourceProviderCachePathsOfTestFile. It makes the three sequences equal to plain bun test. It also changes a fourth sequence, where the module is still loaded when the import() comes:

One test file	main and this branch, --isolate	with the rule, --isolate	bun test
.js = .ts, require("./typed.js"), import("./typed.js")	the loaded module	Expected ";" but found "as"	Expected ";" but found "as"
.es6 = .js, require("./plain.es6"), import("./plain.es6")	the loaded module	the path of the file, a string	the path of the file, a string

Node 26.3.0 gives the loaded module in the first row (measured with a handler that calls module._compile, because Node has no .ts entry to assign). So the cause of that row is not the cache. An import() of a path whose CommonJS module is loaded transpiles the file again with the loader of the path (fetchESMSourceCode), and finds the loaded module only after that. The cached source hides this under --isolate. With the rule, a suite that passes today under --isolate can fail. An earlier version of this PR evicted right after the load and was changed for this reason (Notes, "The eviction").

What I did:

• The three sequences are now in the Notes of the description, under "Still different from a file that runs alone".
• The import() after a hooked require() is reported on its own, because it fails in plain bun run too. After a fix there, the rule has no such cost. The patch, for that time:

 void IsolatedModuleCache::insert(JSC::VM& vm, const WTF::String& key, Zig::SourceProvider& provider, const CodeString* pluginContents)
 {
     if (!isTagCacheable(static_cast<SyntheticModuleType>(provider.m_tag)) || provider.m_dependsOnMoreThanSource)
         return;
+    auto* clientData = WebCore::clientData(vm);
+    auto& paths = clientData->isolationSourceProviderCachePathsOfTestFile;
+    if (!paths.isEmpty() && paths.contains(pathOfKey(key))) [[unlikely]]
+        return;
     provider.m_madeFromHash = madeFromHash(vm, key, pluginContents);
-    WebCore::clientData(vm)->isolationSourceProviderCache.set(key, &provider);
+    clientData->isolationSourceProviderCache.set(key, &provider);
 }

With no handler set it costs 3 instructions for each source that enters the cache (an -O3 compile of IsolatedModuleCache.cpp). The test below has the three sequences. It fails on this branch and passes with the patch.
