Carries the three commits of #47308 (CI needs current main in the branch). Merge #47308 first.

Problem

Fix

  • Node v26.12.1's DepthLimiter is ported into a module that only a finite maxDepth loads.
  • Both walkers add every match through ResultSet.add(). With maxDepth, a subclass refuses a path past the limit.
  • Verified: test/js/node/fs/glob.test.ts (78 new cases, 40 fail without the change), Node's test-fs-glob.mjs, bun-types.test.ts.
  • Self-reviewed: 68 concerns raised, 66 addressed. Not taken: a shared match step (not needed), a platform-only gate for case tests (volumes differ).

Background

  • Depth counts path segments below cwd.
  • Windows and macOS: Node asks the file system about another spelling of cwd. The async add() cannot wait, so a second generator awaits the answer.
  • Considered Node's await at each async match: the walker body goes from 8,378 to 11,672 JSC cost units (here 8,809 at most), over the inlining limit of 10,000, and async walks cost up to 5.5% more.

Downsides

Notes

Merge order.

Repro (the fuzz note that started this):

const fs = require("node:fs"), path = require("node:path"), os = require("node:os");
const cwd = fs.mkdtempSync(path.join(os.tmpdir(), "depth-"));
for (const f of ["f.txt", "d1/f.txt", "d1/d2/f.txt", "d1/d2/d3/f.txt"]) {
  fs.mkdirSync(path.dirname(path.join(cwd, f)), { recursive: true });
  fs.writeFileSync(path.join(cwd, f), "");
}
console.log(fs.globSync("**/*.txt", { cwd, maxDepth: 1 }));

Node v26.12.1 prints [ 'f.txt' ]. Bun main prints all four paths, as Node v26.3.0 does. Bun main also accepts maxDepth: -1, 1.5 and "1". Node throws ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE or ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE, and so does this PR.

Where the code is.

  • src/js/internal/fs/glob-depth-limiter.ts (new): DepthLimiter and its helpers. createDepthLimiter() in glob.ts requires it for a finite maxDepth only.
  • src/js/internal/fs/glob.ts: the option, LimitedResultSet, the two directory tests, and glob(). The 16 places that add a match are not changed.

What is Node's text and what is not. DepthLimiter and its helpers are the text of Node v26.12.1, typed. These things differ:

  • The two identity tables and the four methods that fill them are in DepthLimiter, not in Cache.
  • Pattern.isAbsolute is a getter that reads the first part of the pattern, not a field. A Pattern is made for each step of a walk, and only a walk with maxDepth reads this.
  • Node's walker calls #addResult() or await #addResultAsync() at each of its 16 matches. Bun's port already adds every match through ResultSet.add() (it applies the exclude array there). LimitedResultSet.add() asks the limiter first, as Node does.
  • DepthLimiter asks the file system on Windows and macOS only (process.platform is a constant in each build). On other platforms the async walk calls its sync methods, which ask nothing there, and runs the generator that it had.
  • On Windows and macOS the async add() asks includesNow(), which answers when the path alone says the depth. When only the file system can say (a path that reaches cwd by another spelling), add() marks the path and the walker gives the match as after every add(). glob() sends such a walk through #globLimited(), which awaits the answer, then tests the exclude array, then gives the match to the consumer or drops it. The walker is suspended at its match during that time, as it is at Node's await.

Why the async walker has no await at a match.

  • JSC inlines calls into a function only while the bytecode cost of that function is not over maximumInliningCallerBytecodeCost (10,000). The body of #iterateSubpatterns costs 8,378 on the base. In a plain port of Node's text, with an await at each of the 8 async matches, it costs 11,672: nothing is inlined, and the FTL code of the body goes from 38,784 to 30,560 bytes.
  • That costs a repeated async walk 1.2% to 5.5% more instructions on the main thread, by pattern, with or without maxDepth. The patterns are ** (1.2%), **/*.txt (3.3%), */*/*.txt (3.5%), ["**/*.txt", "**/d*"] (4.9%), **/d*/**/*.txt (5.1%) and **/*.{txt,md,js} (5.5%), on the tree below, with spreads of 0.5% to 2.3%. This PR is between -0.4% and +0.5% on them. Node's shape does use less JIT time: for **/*.txt, over all threads, a process with 100 async walks uses 5.0% fewer instructions than the base, and one with 400 walks 0.9% fewer.
  • In this PR the body costs 8,464 on Linux. On macOS it has the await of the directory test: 8,564. On Windows it also has a branch for a drive: 8,809, measured on Linux with the Windows text of the walker. It has the 19 DFG and 38 to 40 FTL inlined calls of the base.
  • glob.test.ts has a test that fails when nothing is inlined into the body. It compares the size of the DFG code of the body with the size under BUN_JSC_maximumInliningCallerBytecodeCost=1. It fails on a plain port of Node's text (36,640 bytes both times) and passes on the base and on this PR. It runs on release builds only.
  • A suspend point is costly in bytecode because a generator saves and restores its locals there. Save and restore generator locals in bulk with dedicated bytecodes WebKit#525 (with Bump WebKit (oven-sh/WebKit#525 preview): save and restore generator locals in bulk #40667) and [JSC] A generator that suspends saves only the locals written since it was entered or resumed WebKit#751 are open and make that cheaper in the engine. BUN_JSC_printEachDFGFTLInlineCall=1 with BUN_JSC_maximumInliningCallerBytecodeCost=N finds the cost of a function.

Equal to Node's rule. "Node's text" below is a plain port of Node v26.12.1's walker to Bun. It runs on Bun's node:path.

  • On Linux, 3,221 sampled rows of a grid (128 patterns, 9 option sets, 5 forms of cwd, 6 depths, the three entry points), run on the release build: results and the list of fs calls are equal to Node's text on every row. Against the Node v26.12.1 binary, 55 rows differ in results and 270 in fs calls, all with withFileTypes, where Bun differs without maxDepth too. A second grid of 53,946 rows against the Node binary has 54 rows that differ, in 7 pattern classes that differ without maxDepth too, and 21,600 rows with other names and forms of cwd are identical.
  • With path.win32 and path.posix over an in-memory file system: 0 of 67,392 win32 rows, 0 of 75,816 win32 rows with : names and 0 of 46,080 darwin rows differ from Node's text, in results, in their order or in the order of fs calls. The same holds for 5,760 darwin rows with links beside the matches, for 32,040 rows per platform that combine followSymlinks with withFileTypes or exclude, for 86,320 win32 and 60,000 darwin rows with exclude arrays that refuse matches, and when each match is written into the list of fs calls (the time of the match). This is not a run on Windows or macOS.
  • Consumers that change the tree: 33 scenarios per platform (remove each match, write a file into each directory, an exclude function with state, stop early) and 172,800 random runs per platform give the sequence of Node's text.
  • glob.test.ts itself, with its imports changed to that file system, passes with path.win32 and path.posix for this PR and for Node's text (one case is a todo with path.win32, see below).

Instructions are user instructions (perf_event_open), of the main thread where no thread is named, per walk from the slope between two walk counts, medians of 5 to 10 interleaved rounds. The runs were on two cores. The row of one fs.promises.glob has the JIT and the GC on the main thread. Spreads: 0.1% to 1.6% in the per-walk and per-process rows with no maxDepth (up to 5.3% in their all-threads row), 0.8% to 6.5% in the per-walk rows with maxDepth, and up to 36% in the all-threads row of the absolute pattern, where JSC compiles the walker body twice in some runs of both builds. Over all threads, a process with 100 limited async walks uses 2% to 7% more instructions than Node's text, because the body that JSC can inline into is a larger compile. With 400 walks it uses 7% to 9% fewer. Binary: text 140,286,742 to 140,299,022 bytes (llvm-size). The generated modules: glob.js 81,973 to 83,725 bytes, and 6,195 bytes for the new one. With maxDepth, a Glob has 1 more Map and 1 more object, and it makes one result set that it then replaces. The rows with maxDepth are for Linux: on Windows and macOS the async walk has the second generator and the await at the directory test (2 more microtask turns per match and per directory, and more for a match that waits).

Tests.

  • 48 one-edit changes of the new code (the two directory tests, LimitedResultSet, glob(), includesNow(), the comparisons of DepthLimiter, its ancestor rule, Pattern.isAbsolute, the validation and its place). glob.test.ts fails for 21 on Linux.
  • 26 of the others change only what Windows and macOS do. glob.test.ts over the in-memory file system fails for 24 of them with path.win32 and with path.posix, for the one in the macOS branch with path.posix, and for the one about another drive with path.win32. Those cases need a volume that folds case, or a second drive (made with subst), so only the Windows and macOS lanes run them.
  • 1 sends every limited async walk through the second generator. No caller can see that.
  • Cases of glob.test.ts that do not run, by lane: 18 on Linux (19 on a debug build), 1 on macOS, 1 on Windows plus 1 todo. A higher number on macOS or Windows means that the temporary directory is on a volume that does not fold case.
  • On the CI lanes, glob.test.ts gives 136 pass and 1 skip on macOS aarch64, and 135 pass, 1 skip and 1 todo on Windows x64 and Windows aarch64. test-fs-glob.mjs passes on macOS aarch64 and Windows aarch64. Before that run, Windows and macOS had only the in-memory runs above.
  • The macOS x64 lanes do not run test/js/node/test/parallel (scripts/runner.node.ts:2511), so only glob.test.ts covers them.

Types. packages/bun-types/overrides.d.ts declares maxDepth and followSymlinks on GlobOptions, GlobOptionsWithFileTypes and GlobOptionsWithoutFileTypes. @types/node 26.6.6 has no maxDepth, and 22.x and 25.x have no followSymlinks. In @types/node 22 to 25 the two derived interfaces extend a private _GlobOptions<T> and not GlobOptions, so the options are on all three. The check with @types/node 24 in bun-types.test.ts has lines for them. When @types/node adds maxDepth, it must have the type number | undefined, as here.

Windows, from node:path on main. With a finite maxDepth, two results differ from Node, and neither comes from this PR:

  • path.win32.relative("C:\\Ünï\\Wd", "C:\\ünï\\wd\\f.txt") is "f.txt" in Node and "..\\..\\ünï\\wd\\f.txt" in Bun, which folds ASCII only (src/node_path/lib.rs:66). So an absolute or .. pattern that spells a cwd with such a letter in another case gets no match. glob.test.ts has this case: it runs on macOS and is a todo on Windows.
  • path.win32.join(".", "x:y") is ".\\x:y" in Node and "x:y" in Bun (node:path: win32 normalize/join skip Node's drive and reserved-device guards #35610). So the limiter reads a name with : as relative to a drive.
  • node:path: rewrite on JSString storage in Rust, match Node.js v26 exactly, ~3x faster #37305 rewrites node:path and names both. With Node's own lib/path.js under the walker, the in-memory runs give what Node's own glob.js gives under the Node binary (0 of 37,440 win32 rows with a limit). With Bun's node:path, 312 of 67,392 win32 rows differ from Node only with a limit, all for such a letter, and 696 of 75,816 with : names.

Upstream. v26.12.1 is the last Node release with a walker in JS. Node's main branch has a native one (nodejs/node#65392), which gives matches in batches. This PR ports the v26 text.

Not in this PR.

  • A count of the segments of a path below cwd in place of path.resolve() and path.relative() (PlainDepth on Node's main branch). An earlier form of this PR had it: a limited relative walk cost 32% fewer instructions sync and 26% fewer async. It changes no result, so it is for a later PR with times per pattern.
  • withFileTypes with a function exclude: Node calls lstat with a path relative to the process, Bun does not. This is on main too.
  • The lstat of a last literal segment that is already past the limit is still made, as in Node.
  • An async **/.. pattern with withFileTypes gives null for the parent of an absolute path. Node v26.12.1 does the same.

Self-review. Three review passes raised 100 concerns, and 68 stood after a second check of each. What they changed:

  • The first form had Node's await at each async match. The review found the cost for every async walk and its cause (the inlining limit), so the limit moved into the result set.
  • A form that kept waiting matches in a list gave them later than Node does. The list is gone: a match waits at its own yield.
  • The segment count is out of this PR (see above). The limiter is in its own module. The types cover three interfaces. Comments are one line.
  • On Windows and macOS, a match that waits for the file system and that the exclude array refuses left one fs call behind. #globLimited() now awaits it, in Node's order.
  • Platforms where the limiter never asks the file system do not pay for the second generator.
  • New tests: followSymlinks with maxDepth, the order of validation, cwd in another case, an absolute pattern of two parts, another drive, the exclude cases, sync identity calls, and the inlining test.
  • Not taken: one match step shared by both walkers (it was the fallback if the result set could not hold the limit, and the review measured 1.3% to 1.6% more per fs.globSync walk for it). Not taken: a gate on the platform alone for the cases that need a volume that folds case (a developer's volume can be case-sensitive, so the cases probe the volume, and the skip counts above show what ran).

The loop over the children of a directory returned from the whole step
when a child path was already in the seen cache. Every later sibling was
dropped, in the sync walker and in the async walker:

- ['src/*.ts', './src/helpers/*.ts'] did not return 'src/index.ts'.
- 'a/**/../*.js' did not return 'r.js', the match in which '**' stands
  for no directory.

Delete the check at both sites, as Node.js did in v26.8.0 and v24.21.0
(nodejs/node 74dcdbb5f1). Cache.add at the start of each step still stops
a second walk of the same path and pattern tail.

The lists are now those of Node.js v26.12.1. One of them is shorter than
before: a pattern array whose patterns share a tail can lose a path, for
example ['./**/*.ts', './src/**/*.ts', 'src/*.ts'] over src/lib/c.ts. A
test pins that list.

test/js/node/test/parallel/test-fs-glob.mjs is the file of Node.js v26.8.2,
which adds the upstream test for this change.

Supersedes #42870.
Under `**` the walker queued the next part of the pattern for an entry
that is a symlink, so that part was matched one level inside a link to a
directory: '**/*' listed 'a/lnk/3.js' for a link 'a/lnk', while '**/*.js'
did not. With followSymlinks: true the same clause queued a link to a
file and a dangling link.

Queue the next part only for a directory, as Node.js did in v26.9.0 and
v24.22.0 (nodejs/node ab7f4c88b7). A link that the pattern names, as in
'a/lnk/*', is still followed, and followSymlinks: true still walks into
a link to a directory.

test/js/node/test/parallel/test-fs-glob.mjs is the file of nodejs/node
dd5662e641 (the v24.x commit of this change), which has the new lists.
The other upstream test of that commit,
test-fs-glob-no-follow-symlink-globstar.mjs, needs Node's permission
model. Its tree and its calls are in test/js/node/fs/glob.test.ts.
…ndows

On macOS and Windows a pattern finds an entry in any case, but a literal
exclude pattern was compared with case: globSync('a/b', { exclude: ['A/B'] })
returned ['a/b'].

Build the exclude matchers with nocaseMagicOnly: false, as Node.js did in
v26.9.0 and v24.22.0 (nodejs/node 54a1311d9e). Nothing changes on Linux.

With this the walker is the one of Node.js v24.22.1, and
test/js/node/test/parallel/test-fs-glob.mjs is the file of that tag. The
walker of v26.12.1 differs from it only by the maxDepth option.
fs.glob, fs.globSync and fs.promises.glob ignored options.maxDepth,
which Node v26.9.0 added (nodejs/node#64003).

The DepthLimiter of Node v26.12.1 is in a new module,
internal/fs/glob-depth-limiter, that only a walk with a finite maxDepth
loads. A Glob with no maxDepth has no limiter, and its result set and
the places that add a match are unchanged.

The limit on a match is in the result set. Both walkers add every match
through ResultSet.add(), so a walk with maxDepth has a subclass of it
that refuses a path past the limit. Node's text has the test at each of
its 16 places that add a match. The limit on reading a directory is at
the directory test of each walker, as in Node.

On Windows and macOS the limiter asks the file system: about a path
that reaches cwd by another spelling, and on Windows about each
directory above cwd that an absolute pattern goes through. In the async
walk add() cannot wait, so it marks such a path, and the walker gives
the match as after every add(). The walk goes through a second
generator, which awaits the answer, tests the exclude array and gives
the match to the consumer or drops it. The walker stays at its match
meanwhile, as with Node's await there. On other platforms the limiter
never asks the file system, and the async walk calls its sync methods.

Node's await at each of the eight async matches takes the body of
#iterateSubpatterns from a bytecode cost of 8,378 to 11,672, over JSC's
maximumInliningCallerBytecodeCost of 10,000: nothing is inlined into
it, and every async walk is slower, with or without maxDepth. Here the
body costs 8,464 on Linux, 8,564 on macOS and 8,809 on Windows. A test
fails when nothing is inlined into the body.

test-fs-glob.mjs is the copy of Node v26.12.1. bun-types declares
maxDepth and followSymlinks on the three option interfaces of
@types/node.

Status: ready for review. This branch carries the three commits of #47308 until that PR merges. Merge #47308 first.

How the problem was reproduced

  • On main (3f3a9ff, release build) and on main with fs.glob: port Node's three walker fixes (lost siblings, links under **, exclude case) #47308: fs.globSync("**/*.txt", { cwd, maxDepth: 1 }) on a tree with f.txt, d1/f.txt, d1/d2/f.txt and d1/d2/d3/f.txt returns the four paths. Node v26.12.1 returns [ 'f.txt' ].
  • maxDepth: -1, 1.5 and "1" do not throw there. Node v26.12.1 throws ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE for the first two and ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE for the third.
  • The script is in the Notes of the description.

CI (build 136957, f3d2cd6)

  • test/js/node/fs/glob.test.ts passes on every lane: 119 pass and 18 skip on the Linux lanes (118 and 19 with ASAN), 136 pass and 1 skip on macOS aarch64 and macOS x64, 135 pass, 1 skip and 1 todo on Windows x64 and Windows aarch64. test/js/node/test/parallel/test-fs-glob.mjs is in no failure list.
  • The red jobs are the test/aot/* files and test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts. They are red on main too (builds 136848 and 136408). This PR does not touch them.

Walkthrough

Glob adds maxDepth support with platform-aware path checks. The synchronous and asynchronous walkers apply depth limits and update symlink traversal and exclude matching. Type declarations, documentation, and tests cover the options and behavior.

Changes

Glob compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Depth and path identity rules
docs/runtime/glob.mdx, packages/bun-types/overrides.d.ts, src/js/internal/fs/glob-depth-limiter.ts
The documentation and declarations describe maxDepth and symlink options. DepthLimiter calculates path depth and handles platform-specific path identity checks.
Depth-limited glob traversal
src/js/internal/fs/glob.ts, src/js/private.d.ts
Glob creates a depth limiter, filters matches, and checks traversal in sync and async walkers. The walkers also change symlink continuation and literal exclude matching.
API and traversal compatibility tests
test/integration/bun-types/*, test/js/node/fs/glob.test.ts, test/js/node/test/parallel/test-fs-glob.mjs
Type fixtures and runtime tests cover options, result types, depth limits, path casing, symlinks, traversal timing, and validation across glob entry points.

Minor follow-up The maxDepth type comment should describe the match limit, not only traversal.

360-360: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The maxDepth type comment should describe the match limit, not only traversal.

The maxDepth doc comment at packages/bun-types/overrides.d.ts:360-390 says "Maximum number of directory levels to traverse." The runtime also filters returned matches by depth. LimitedResultSet.add() drops any match whose depth exceeds maxDepth, and this applies to literal patterns too. The documented wording therefore omits the result filtering. A caller who reads only the type comment can expect matches beyond the limit to be returned when only traversal is bounded.

This is a documentation accuracy issue. It does not change the returned results, so it cannot break a caller at runtime. The repository's own docs/runtime/glob.mdx:222 already describes the option as limiting "how deep below cwd a match can be", which is the behavior the implementation has.

Suggested wording for the three maxDepth doc comments:

📝 Suggested doc update
-     * Maximum number of directory levels to traverse. The `cwd` directory has a depth of `0`.
+     * Maximum depth of a returned match below `cwd`. Matches deeper than this are not returned. The `cwd` directory has a depth of `0`.

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 rest of the new name-constraints path in packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c: a NULL minimum is tolerated because ASN1_INTEGER_get returns 0 for NULL, and an undecodable nameConstraints on an intermediate skips the CN check rather than failing — matching OpenSSL's behavior for a chain BoringSSL already accepted. I also looked at the canary release gating in .buildkite/ci.ts; the release step's depends_on still covers the build lanes, so a failed test lane does not by itself ship a canary.

Extended reasoning...

This is a very large branch sync (roughly 10,880 files, over a million added lines) spanning the Rust AOT compiler, build scripts, docs, types, CI/release workflows, and the usockets TLS verify path. The security-sensitive surface is the new common-name name-constraints check in openssl.c and the move of npm publishing from a token to OIDC trusted publishing; both already carry inline findings. The note records the adjacent name-constraints and CI-gating concerns that were examined and ruled out so the human reviewer can focus on the posted findings.

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

  • 🟣 packages/bun-release/.npmrc:1 — After merging, a tagged release can publish only part of the npm package set, leaving bun pointing at platform packages that do not exist. packages/bun-release/.npmrc:1 drops the _authToken line and release.yml removes NPM_TOKEN, so every npm publish in upload-npm.ts:180 now relies on OIDC trusted publishing. If any of the ~15 @ oven/bun-* packages or bun itself lacks a trusted publisher for workflow release.yml and environment release, that publish exits nonzero and upload-npm.ts:204 throws mid-loop. Fix: verify a trusted publisher exists for every package before dropping the token, or keep NPM_TOKEN as a fallback until all are configured.

    Why this was flagged

    If any package published by packages/bun-release/scripts/upload-npm.ts (the per-platform @ oven/bun-* modules and the bun meta-package, published one after another in publish() at upload-npm.ts:50-56) is not yet registered for npm trusted publishing with workflow .github/workflows/release.yml and environment release, npm has no credential at all: the .npmrc copied into each module dir (upload-npm.ts:172) now carries only @ oven:registry=... and release.yml no longer passes NPM_TOKEN. On the base branch the token authenticated every publish regardless of registry-side config. The first unconfigured package fails with E404/ENEEDAUTH, publishModule throws npm publish failed with code at upload-npm.ts:204, and packages already published in the loop stay live while later ones (including bun) are missing. The environment: release and id-token: write wiring is consistent, but it does not prove the registry side exists for each package.

    Verification: packages/bun-release/.npmrc now contains only @ oven:registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/, so the npm publish at packages/bun-release/scripts/upload-npm.ts:180-193 has no credential except an OIDC trusted-publisher exchange. publishModule throws on any nonzero exit (lines 195-204), so the first unregistered package aborts the remaining publishes.

  • 🟣 packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c:1266 — After merging, TLS peers whose leaf certificate has no DNS subjectAltName can newly be rejected by a CA's DNS name constraints, and the PR ships no test for that path. us_x509_verify_chain at packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c:1266 now runs us_x509_store_ctx_common_name_error on every chain X509_verify_cert accepted, for clients verifying servers and servers verifying client certificates alike. No fixture in test/ exercises a constrained CA with a SAN-less or IP-SAN-only leaf. Fix: add a spawned-fixture test covering a permitted CN, a violating CN, an excluded CN and an IP-SAN-only leaf under a name-constrained intermediate, asserting the exact error code on both tls.connect and requestCert, so the ported OpenSSL cn2dnsid/nc_dns rules are pinned.

    Why this was flagged

    A chain whose intermediate carries nameConstraints with a DNS subtree and whose leaf has an IP-only subjectAltName or no DNS SAN reaches us_x509_verify_chain through SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback (openssl.c:1281, 1302). On the base branch X509_verify_cert's verdict stands; after this change openssl.c:1266 calls us_x509_store_ctx_common_name_error (openssl.c:1248), which parses every common name with us_looks_like_dns_name (openssl.c:1174) and applies us_name_constraints_check_dns_name (openssl.c:1197), setting X509_V_ERR_PERMITTED_VIOLATION or X509_V_ERR_EXCLUDED_VIOLATION on the store context. The only name-constraint fixture, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-cert.test.ts:863 (int-constrained-valid with a CN=localhost leaf), is a single-label CN that us_looks_like_dns_name returns 0 for, so the new code is never exercised; the diff adds no TLS test. The repository review rules require a test in the same PR for every behavioral change, and this is a TLS verification tightening that is not mentioned in the commit message.

    Verification: packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c:1266 runs us_x509_store_ctx_common_name_error on every chain X509_verify_cert accepted. The only name-constraints test, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-cert.test.ts:863 (leaf CN=localhost), cannot reach the new rejection branch: "localhost" is a single label with no '.', so us_looks_like_dns_name (lines 1174-1185) returns 0. No test in this PR exercises it.

The two findings in the review above are not about this PR. packages/bun-release/.npmrc and packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c are not in its diff: both changes are on main already (#47615 and #47567).

The review read the branch in the minute between the merge of main into it and the change of the base to main. In that minute the comparison showed all of main (10,880 files). The PR changes 9 files, all for fs.glob.

The JSDoc had the sentence of Node's documentation, which names only
the traversal. A path deeper than maxDepth is not a match, also for a
pattern with no wildcard, and a directory at that depth is a match that
is not read.

glob() read the class of the result set with instanceof, which code
outside the module can change through Set[Symbol.hasInstance]. It now
reads #depthLimiter, which only the constructor sets.

The test of the inlining limit takes the largest DFG code size that
JSC reports for the walker. It no longer reads the bytecode size in
the report line.

A note on the cost of a limit in this PR, and one question for its reviewer.

  • A limit that cuts nothing costs 58% more instructions than no limit: 6.44M against 4.08M for a **/*.txt walk of 605 entries, which is about 0.4 ms. The cost is the path.resolve() and path.relative() calls of DepthLimiter for each match and directory. This is Node's text.
  • Draft fs.glob: answer maxDepth with a native depthFromRoot() #47832 takes that cost away with a native function. On Linux, 80 of 86 kinds of walk cost 3% to 36% less. It is +902 lines, nobody has asked for it, and it is parked.

Question: do walks with maxDepth need that speed? If yes, #47832 comes back as one commit on main after this PR. If no, close #47832: its branch keeps the work. #42963 is about the path.join() and path.resolve() calls that every walk makes, with or without a limit, so it goes first in both cases.
