Supersedes #274. Lands with oven-sh/bun#47371 (Notes: order).

Problem

Fix

  • A load keeps the async context that is current where it begins, in ModuleLoadingContext, ModuleLoaderPayload and ModuleGraphLoadingState. Each request takes it from there.
  • Twelve job kinds and the host's resolve() and fetch() run under it (ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope). aot/runtime does the same.
  • A load with no store and require() run as before. evaluate() of node:vm continues its caller.
  • Verified: JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-propagation.js (fails on main). Self-reviewed: 161 concerns raised, 149 addressed (12 not taken: Notes).

Background

  • The async context is field 0 of JSGlobalObject::m_asyncContextData, where Bun keeps AsyncLocalStorage stores. AsyncContextSwapScope installs a captured value for one job.
  • A load is a chain of internal microtasks that share its cells.
  • Considered JSC: evaluate dynamically imported modules under the importer's async context #274 (the evaluation job only): hooks still read undefined. Considered a flag for loads that the host begins: Bun resets the slot there instead (Notes).

Downsides

  • Under a store, enterWith() in an imported CommonJS file or in a dependency's hook ends with that job. Node.js hands it on.
  • In a Bun.ModuleGraph (bun test --isolate=modules) a load keeps nothing: the issue still shows there.
  • A scoped job with no store: +11 instructions, +47 where it evaluates. Release text: +6,599 bytes.
Notes

The order.

Why this replaces #274. oven-sh/bun#32695 was a fix in Bun's import() binding. A maintainer wrote there: "If we do want this, it should be done in WebKit." #274 followed. On oven-sh/bun#32693 a maintainer then asked for a rebase of that fix. #274 installs the context only around the evaluation of the imported module. With #274 alone the repro below still prints onResolve(b):undefined and onLoad(b):undefined. The hooks of a static dependency run in the loading jobs. #274 also has no aot/runtime half. This pull request covers the loading jobs, the evaluation and compiled executables with one rule.

Repro.

line Bun 1.3.13 Bun 1.3.14, 1.4.2 Bun 1.4.3, 1.4.4 this change Node.js v26.3.0 (module.registerHooks)
onResolve(a) IMPORT IMPORT IMPORT IMPORT IMPORT
onLoad(a) IMPORT IMPORT IMPORT IMPORT IMPORT

onLoad(b) IMPORT undefined undefined IMPORT IMPORT

The program of oven-sh/bun#32693 (a module body under store.run("CONTEXT", () => import(...))) prints CONTEXT on Bun 1.2.23 and 1.3.13, undefined on 1.3.14 to 1.4.4, and CONTEXT with this change and on Node.js. So this is a regression of 1.3.14. The module-loader rewrite (oven-sh/bun#29393) is in that range. The range was not bisected.

The rule. It is stated once, at ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope and ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope in AsyncContextSwapScope.h.

  • The async context belongs to the load. It is taken once, where the load begins: import(), Module.runMain(), or a load that the host begins. It is what is current at that call (JSModuleLoader::asyncContextForLoad()).
  • The loader does not ask who begins a load. With no script on the stack, what is current is the host's to say. Bun resets the slot where it begins a load by itself (the Bun side of this change). So the entry point, a preload, a test file and the entry point of a Worker begin under no store and keep none, whatever the script that ran last left in the slot.
  • The load keeps it in its cells. Each request that the load makes takes it from its payload (JSModuleLoader::asyncContextOfLoad()), whatever is current where the request is made.
  • A job of the load runs under that context where it is set. What the job leaves in the slot ends with it.
  • A load that kept nothing has no scope, and this change does nothing for it. Its jobs run as before: under whatever the slot holds when each of them runs, and what they leave there stays until the host resets the slot. That is how a store that one module of such a load enters reaches the modules that run behind it in the same turn.
  • A synchronous load (require() of an ES module, ModuleLoadFlag::Synchronous) keeps nothing. What it runs inside the call runs in the context of the caller. What its modules enter is the caller's, as for a CommonJS module.
  • While a synchronous load drains its queue, no job of the loader enters the context of its load. The drain takes every loader job that comes due (runsInSynchronousModuleQueue()), also those of an import() in flight and of an import() that a module calls meanwhile. They run inside the call of require(), so they run in the context of its caller, as on the base.
  • The job behind a top-level await (AsyncModuleExecutionDone) continues the job that began to evaluate the awaiting module. It gets the context of the load of that job, which can be none. Where the code of that job has put something else in the slot since the job began, it gets that, as any continuation gets what is current. A host function that evaluates a module for the script that calls it says so (ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope, CalledByScript): vm.SourceTextModule#evaluate(). That evaluation continues the call, as a load continues the call of import(): the job behind the await gets what is current where the awaiting module begins, whichever job of the loader is on the stack. Where nothing is current there, the job gets none and runs as a job of a load with no store. An evaluation with no scope hands on nothing, as on the base: mock.module(), where it evaluates a linked module early, leaves the answer to the job of the loader that runs its caller.
  • The host can say what no load may keep of the caller's context (VM::asyncContextOfLoadFilter, one filter for every loader of the VM, those of node:vm contexts included). Bun's filter lets a load that begins in the context of a Bun.ModuleGraph keep nothing.

Where each job kind finds its context.

job kind context
ModuleLoadStep, ModuleLoadTopSettled, ModuleLoadLinkEvaluateSettled ModuleLoadingContext::asyncContext(). A context for a load takes it from the caller. A context for a request takes it from the payload
DynamicImportLoadSettled, DynamicImportDeferLoadSettled ModuleLoaderPayload::asyncContext()
ModuleRegistryFetchSettled the registry entry. The first load that asks while the entry is neither fetched nor failed says the context. undefined is an answer (none). An empty value is no answer: a caller that only wants the promise, and a synchronous load. One load answers, and no later one. The job takes the context, and setStatus() drops it where something else settles the entry: also where another load of the key fails first, and the record is then made under none. Where the job runs again before the record is made (#1036: behind the source of a module that was released during its fetch), the first run gives the context back to the entry
AsyncModuleExecutionDone the reaction's async-context slot (the job had no cell). executeAsync() fills it from ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope
ImportModuleNamespace its context value, which was undefined
CompiledModuleImport, CompiledModuleImportStep the fourth argument of the job
CompiledModuleImportSettled paired with the module in the job's context value (AsyncContextSwapScope::wrap())
DynamicImportEvaluateSettled, for a compiled module the same pair

No other job changes the values that it carries. Bun's own registration of ImportModuleNamespace (ModuleGraph.cpp) passes undefined and needs no change. Two more kinds resume a module body and have the context of their await. The other ten loader jobs get no scope. A review read what each of the jobs without a scope reaches. It found code of the program behind one of them: DynamicImportEvaluateSettled makes the namespace, and for a compiled CommonJS file that reads the exports (a getter, the traps of a Proxy). So that job has a scope now for a compiled module. In plain Bun it reaches no code of the program, and its values do not change there.

Other call sites.

  • hostLoadImportedModule: the host's resolve() and fetch() for a dependency run under the context of the load, and what such a hook enters ends with the hook. The hooks for the module that import() names run inside the call, before the load begins: what they enter is what the load keeps.
  • A synchronous load can take the fetch of a module over from an import() that is in flight (fetchSynchronously()). The job that makes the record takes the context of that import() from the registry entry and, in the drain, does not enter it. Where the fetch stays pending, that job runs after the call, under that context. Where the synchronous load came to the entry first and failed (the hook of the module is asynchronous), the import() that still waits says the context.
  • CyclicModuleRecord::executeAsync: the jobs that evaluate (ModuleLoadLinkEvaluateSettled, DynamicImportLoadSettled, DynamicImportDeferLoadSettled, AsyncModuleExecutionDone, the three CompiledModuleImport* jobs) have a ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope. It keeps the context of the load and what the slot held where the job began, and VM::m_moduleEvaluationAsyncContextScope points at it. executeAsync() asks it. VM::SynchronousModuleQueueScope sets the pointer aside.
  • A loader with an async context of its own (JSModuleLoader::asyncContext(), [JSC] A module loader can name the async context its modules' top-level code runs in #646, used by Bun.ModuleGraph): the host decides the context of a CommonJS body, and JSModuleRecord::execute() that of an ES body, as before. An entry of such a loader keeps no context for the job that makes the record. The host's hooks run under the context of the load.
  • Bun.ModuleGraph has the context of a graph in the slot, beside the stores. What runs in a graph's context ends when the graph is disposed. Without the filter a module of the host's loader that code of a graph asked for first ran in that graph's context: with a top-level await it never went on once the graph was disposed. With the filter a load that begins in the context of a graph keeps nothing, neither that context nor a store, and its jobs run as on the base. So inside a graph an import() under a store still loses the store. A test file under bun test --isolate=modules is a module of a graph.

aot/runtime. The run time of a compiled executable does part of the loader's work by itself, so it needs the same rule. #997 replaced that run time, and this half was written again for it.

  • queueImportJob and queueStepOfImport take the context of the import() call as a value and hand it to the next job. They do not read the slot again, because a module body in between can call enterWith(). The value comes from JSModuleLoader::asyncContextForLoad(). CompiledModuleImportSettled carries it paired with the module.
  • Bun transpiles on its own threads by default. A compiled import() then waits for its text and starts again in a later turn (QueuedFetch, and BatchedFetch in bun test --aot). It keeps the context of its call. startImportWhoseTextHasCome() and makeCallAgain() make the call again as a job of its own would: under that context, or under none where the call had none, and ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope names its load.
  • AOT: the next base #1001 keeps the context of one kind of call by itself: an import() whose mock factories run when its text has come (asyncContextOfCallWhoseMocksRunNow). This change keeps the context of every such call, so the two are one field (QueuedFetch::asyncContext), and the factories still run in the store of the call. Inside the context of a graph the call keeps nothing, as any load there. AOT: fixes after #1001: three places in aot/facts, a build that doubled, module mocks #1008 added the module that wrote the call and its moment among the factories to that record, and the merges keep them beside the context. A stored test run held a compiled run to plain Bun for both, on the branch of AOT: the next base bun#48120 at 0641921605. It passed in six of six runs where the process had one processor, so that the compiler had one thread. With the default threads the debug build of the compiler stopped in its link stage in seven of eight runs, before the program ran: WTF::removeIterator (HashTable.h, compiled only in a debug build) crashed under LinkFlow::findWhatSomeLaneWasGiven and LinkFlow::receiveInLane (aot/facts, which this change does not touch). So that run is not in the Bun side: in a debug build it would fail for a reason that is not its subject.
  • startImportWhoseTextHasCome() and makeCallAgain() swap the slot also for a call that had no store. One program pins that: a CommonJS file calls import() with no store and then enters one. With a swap for a store only, the module would read the entered store when its text comes.
  • DynamicImportEvaluateSettled: see the table above. One program reads a getter and a Proxy of a required CommonJS file through import() from text. Before b13f683 the executable printed undefined for both where plain Bun prints the store.
  • finishImportOfEvaluatedModule() (AOT: the next base #1001) makes a call again where its module still evaluates. It hands on the context of its job.
  • AOT: module instances in test runs, code without types, generators, BigInt, smaller builds #1036 makes the call of an import again where the instance of its module was released in a test run (tryRestartReleasedImport()). The step job that does it hands on its async context, as above. On main the call passes the promise as the fourth argument of startImportWhoseTextHasCome(), which is the async context on this branch: the merge had no conflict there.
  • A deferred import (DeferredImport) keeps the context for its step.
  • A CommonJS file that the loader would run in a job of its own runs under the context of its load (evaluateImportedCommonJSModules), one scope a file. The start of an entry point can run all its files in one call: that path is not taken where a scope would enter.
  • transferSynchronousLoad() hands the load of a require() to the loader. It passes ModuleLoadFlag::Synchronous, as loadModuleSync() does, so that load keeps no context. Four of main's programs reach the call.
  • ModuleRecord::executeAsync() asks asyncContextOfModulesThatWait(), as CyclicModuleRecord::executeAsync() does.
  • AOT: module instances in test runs, code without types, generators, BigInt, smaller builds #1036 adds a third executeAsync(), for the original of a mocked module whose code is compiled (evaluateOriginalAsync()). It asks asyncContextOfModulesThatWait() too. These two places and the second run of ModuleRegistryFetchSettled have not run in Bun yet: Bun takes AOT: module instances in test runs, code without types, generators, BigInt, smaller builds #1036 with AOT: module instances in test runs, files that packages read, build cost bun#48617.
  • A graph that waits behind earlier calls (tryDeferForEarlierImports, AOT: replace the flow passes and the B3 back end with a scan, a link and one walk #997) is held with its payload, which has the context. The job that goes on with it takes the context from there. A call that waits behind a mock factory goes on in a promise reaction, which keeps the context of the call by itself.
  • The run time runs a CommonJS file ahead of the loader. Where the file queues a job, the run time hands the graph to the loader, drops the ModuleRegistryFetchSettled job of the file and settles the registry entry itself (finishStepInWhichFileRan()). The entry kept the context then, and with it the store, for as long as the loader lives. ModuleRegistryEntry::setStatus() drops it now where the entry is settled (d6f315c, and one place for it in b13f683). In one program the stores of six calls that were through were all alive after a collection: now a collection takes them. Three of its six files throw behind their job, so the program holds the entry that fails to the same.
  • AOT: replace the flow passes and the B3 back end with a scan, a link and one walk #997 removed the counted imports and the imports that wait behind a load, and their contexts went with them. An earlier shape also put the context from before the files back in transferGraphToLoader(). It is not carried over: no program shows a difference with it in this run time.
  • Since AOT: replace the flow passes and the B3 back end with a scan, a link and one walk #997 an import() that is called while a require() loads an ES module is no part of that load in a compiled executable. It runs after the call, as in Node.js (Bun's docs/compiler/compatibility.mdx). With this change its modules read the store of that import(). Plain Bun runs it inside the call, under the store of the caller.

Each part was switched off by itself in executables of 17 programs and in one compiled test run, at 516122f. The lines that change:

part lines that change where it is off
the text that is on its way (QueuedFetch, then TextOnItsWay) 25 lines of 6 programs
the text that waits in a test run (BatchedFetch, then TextThatWaits) 3 of 6 lines of the test run
the arguments of the jobs 3 lines of 3 programs
executeAsync() 5 lines of 4 programs
the deferred import 1 line
a scope for each file 1 line
the path of an entry point 1 line
ModuleLoadFlag::Synchronous 1 line: the module behind a top-level await of a required graph reads the store of an import() that a CommonJS file called

An executable of main and one of this change differ in 71 of the 143 lines that 16 of the programs print. With every part above off, 33 lines differ from this change. The other lines come from the runtime/ half: the new run time hands most loads to the loader.

The Bun side of these tests is twenty programs (test/aot/parallel/modules) and one test of a compiled test run, in oven-sh/bun#47371. Bun's driver runs each reference at default flags now. For seven programs the reference is a race between the threads of the transpiler: plain Bun prints up to six outputs in eight runs. Two programs run an import() under a require(). Those nine say what the executable prints.

Measurements. Size and instructions were measured on CI release builds of main (7f020d2) and of ca40ac6, a commit of a side branch that has the tree of bb2e5ab, one merge below this head. The merge of #1036 adds 18 lines in three places. The cell counts and the cell functions are from earlier commits, named with them.

  • libJavaScriptCore.a (bun-webkit-linux-amd64-aot, size -t): text 64,535,631 to 64,542,230 bytes (+6,599). Data and bss: +0.
  • Since the upstream sync, runInternalMicrotask() only dispatches, and the scopes are in the functions of the loader's jobs. In the linux-arm64-lto jsc the function is the same 124 instructions in both builds. In the linux-amd64-lto jsc the part that every microtask runs, up to the dispatch jump, is the same 13 instructions. Behind the jump, the stubs of AsyncModuleExecutionDone and ImportModuleNamespace put one more argument on the stack, which those two jobs now read: 778 to 786 bytes there, and 864 to 880 in the archive above, where two of the compiled-import jobs do the same. (Before the sync the scopes were in the cases of one switch, and on ARM64 the compiler hoisted the address of two far fields of the VM in front of it. That is why what a scope does for a store, and the scope of a job that evaluates, are out of line.)
  • A scoped job of a load with no store (runModuleLoadStep) executes 11 more instructions and no call on linux-amd64-lto, and 9 more on linux-arm64-lto: a load of the context, three that lay the scope out, two compares with their branches, and three that test the scope at the end. A job that evaluates (runDynamicImportLoadSettled: one per import(), and one more per module with a top-level await) executes 47 more, in two calls: 60 instructions where main has 13, of which 14 are the scope's constructor and 10 its destructor. On linux-arm64-lto it executes 58 where main has 10. All are counted in the disassembly of the jsc of each build: the machine that measured has no valgrind and no perf. This is also the cost with no AsyncLocalStorage in the process. The functions of other jobs (promise reactions, await) do not change.
  • Instructions in the functions that make the cells (local release flags, 8c6c963 against 335748b):
    • ModuleLoadingContext::create: 112 to 107, and 106 to 106
    • ModuleLoaderPayload::create: 63 to 68
    • ModuleGraphLoadingState::create: 73 to 74
    • ModuleRegistryEntry::ensureModulePromise: 195 to 308 bytes in the CI archive above. A load's first request for a module now stores the load's answer in the entry, also where the answer is "none"
    • CyclicModuleRecord::executeAsync: 57 to 61, and a call of 29 (asyncContextOfModulesThatWait), per module with a top-level await
    • JSModuleLoader::asyncContextForLoad: 18, once per import()
  • Cells (heapStats().objectTypeCounts, GC off) were counted at Bun main (da867c60bf) and with this change, in three states: no AsyncLocalStorage, one with no store, inside run(). 1,000 import() of a loaded module allocate 2,000 ModuleLoadingContext, 1,000 ModuleLoaderPayload, 1,000 ModuleGraphLoadingState, 8,001 Promise and 2,000 SlimPromiseReaction. One import() of a 203-module graph allocates 405 ModuleLoadingContext, 204 ModuleGraphLoadingState, 1,427 Promise and 203 SlimPromiseReaction. The counts are equal. The change adds no cell and no job in plain Bun (a test of the Bun side holds that). In a compiled executable under a store, CompiledModuleImportSettled and DynamicImportEvaluateSettled pair the context with the module in one InternalFieldTuple.
  • Cell sizes (sizeof with the flags of a release build): ModuleGraphLoadingState 216 to 224 bytes, which stays a 224-byte cell. ModuleLoadingContext 104 to 112 bytes, ModuleLoaderPayload 40 to 48 bytes and ModuleRegistryEntry 88 to 96 bytes stay in their cell sizes (static_assert). JSModuleLoader does not grow. VM grows by two pointers.
  • Stores alive after 1,000 fulfilled or 1,000 rejected imports and a full GC: 0. In a compiled executable the stores of six calls are collected too, since d6f315c.

What does not change, and who owns it.

Differences from Node.js that remain (Node.js v26.3.0, and v26.12.1, which Bun's repository pins, for the rows of a preload and of node:vm). The tests of the Bun side were run on Bun 1.3.13, on Bun 1.4.4 and, ported to module.registerHooks, on Node.js.

Older than 1.3.14 (Bun 1.3.13 does the same):

  • A CommonJS file that an ES module imports runs at load time in Bun, in a job of its own. Under a store, a store that the file enters with enterWith() ends with that job. Node.js runs the file with the module bodies, so the importing module sees the store.
  • Two import() calls that load one module at the same time: the module runs in the store of one of them. In 8 runs it was the first call 4 times. Node.js: always the first. The order in which Bun hands transpiled modules to the loader decides (Hand transpiled modules back to the module loader in request order bun#42051).

Since 1.3.14, and kept (Bun 1.3.13 does what Node.js does):

  • A synchronous load takes every loader job that comes due while it drains, so the call of require() also evaluates modules of other loads: of an import() in flight whose graph it completes, and of an import() that a required module calls. Inside the call they run in the context of the caller. Node.js evaluates them later, under the store of their import(). A module of such an import() that runs after the call (behind a top-level await) does run under that store.

New with this change:

  • What the hook of a dependency enters with enterWith() ends with the hook. The hooks behind it and the module bodies read the store of the import(). Node.js and Bun 1.4.4 hand the entered store on to what the load runs next. Bun 1.3.13 handed it to the hooks behind it and not to the bodies.

Not changed:

  • In a load with no store, a module behind a top-level await that crosses a turn of the event loop reads no store that a dependency entered before. Node.js reads that store. Bun 1.0.36 to 1.3.13 read it where the module that entered it was imported ahead of the awaiting one by the same importer, and Bun 1.4.0 read none.
  • vm.SourceTextModule#evaluate() with nothing current at the call: the modules that wait read what the slot holds when their job runs, for example a store that the awaiting module entered. Node.js reads none there.
  • The TC39 AsyncContext proposal evaluates a module body under an empty context (ExecuteModule in its spec text). Node.js AsyncLocalStorage keeps the store. This change follows Node.js.

Same as Node.js, and new.

  • vm.SourceTextModule#evaluate() under a store: the modules that wait for a top-level await read the store of the call, also under run(), behind a second top-level await, and in the entry point. Under exit() they read none. Before, they read none in each case. One line differs still: a module that the drain of a require() evaluates reads the store of the require() call, so a plain evaluate() there hands that one on.
  • One import() can start a dependency that has a top-level await. A module of another load that waits for that dependency runs in the store of the first import(). The other load can be the host's: an entry point or a test file that waits for a module that a preload began to import reads the store of that import(), and so does what it starts (a server's handlers, later timers). node --import prints the same. Bun 1.3.14 to 1.4.4 read none there, and before 1.3.14 the entry point did not wait.
  • Under a store, a module enters another store with enterWith(), and the next module of the graph has a top-level await. The modules that wait for it run under the entered store.

Verification.

  • JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-propagation.js, the last four blocks: the file passes with the jsc of the CI build of bb2e5ab in the seventeen modes of the stress runner, 80 times in each. The jsc of main (7f020d2) fails the first of the four in every mode, each time: residue after the jobs of the module loader expected undefined but got entered.
  • This head (fd9c764) is main at 7101dff with this change. Bun's main takes that engine with AOT: module instances in test runs, files that packages read, build cost bun#48617, which is open, so this head has not run in Bun yet. Three commits below it ran in Bun, each in a debug and ASAN build of Bun with the CI build of its engine:
    • bb2e5ab, the commit of this branch that is main at 7f020d2 with this change. The Bun side pins it on Bun's main at f33631841f, which is the head of Bump WebKit (oven-sh/WebKit#941 preview): the jobs of an import() run under its AsyncLocalStorage store bun#47371: the 44 tests of the block, the twenty programs in the four ways and the test of a compiled test run pass. Before Upgrade WebKit to 8156ba68efab bun#48297 merged, the same passed under the head of that pull request.
    • c9f3f15, a commit of a side branch: the upstream sync at 6f0282e with this change, so it has the scopes in the new functions. It ran under the head of Upgrade WebKit to 8156ba68efab bun#48297 (8070633445) with the Bun side merged in.
      • test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts: the 44 tests of the block pass. On that head of Upgrade WebKit to 8156ba68efab bun#48297 alone 24 of them fail.
      • The twenty programs pass in Bun's driver (test/aot/run-parallel.ts) in its four ways. The test of a compiled test run passes.
      • Stored test runs of main (test/aot/parallel-test-runs): the 374 projects of the 49 folders for an import() under a mock, and for an import() whose text comes in a later turn, ran as a compiled run and in plain Bun, ten at once, each process on one processor. 373 print the same in both. For three of those, plain Bun printed in a second run what the compiled run printed. In one project a test ran over its 5 s limit in the compiled run, and the project passed alone in three of three runs.
      • With five tests at once and a limit of 60 s, 3,307 tests pass: plugins.test.ts (323), the five files of test/js/node/async_hooks (154), the nine of test/js/node/vm (423), node-module-module.test.js (83), preload-test.test.js (8), test/aot/ci-lists.test.ts, bundler_compile_prelinked.test.ts (91) and the eight files of test/js/bun/module-graph (2,224). One cell of module-graph-workers.test.ts fails (478 of 479): the cells of that file wait a fixed time, and it passed 478 on a build of main too.
    • 102d173, a commit of this branch: main at 264cf6d with this change. It has the scopes in the cases of the switch, as the head before had. It ran under Bun's main at 447ff870b6 with the Bun side, which was the head of Bump WebKit (oven-sh/WebKit#941 preview): the jobs of an import() run under its AsyncLocalStorage store bun#47371 then.
      • The 44 tests, the twenty programs in the four ways and the test of a compiled test run pass.
      • The same 374 stored test runs: 373 print the same in both. One of those needed a second compiled run: the first stopped with a report of the sanitizer, which the run did not keep. That project then ran 84 more times on one processor with no report. On three or four processors it stops in 3 of 12 runs, each time in the link stage of the debug build of the compiler (see aot/runtime above). For three, plain Bun printed in a second run what the compiled run printed. In one project a test ran over its 3 s limit in the compiled run, and the project passed alone in three of three runs.
      • With five tests at once and a limit of 60 s, 2,336 tests pass: plugins.test.ts (323), the five files of test/js/node/async_hooks (154), the nine of test/js/node/vm (423), node-module-module.test.js (80), preload-test.test.js (8), bundler_compile_prelinked.test.ts (91) and five files of test/js/bun/module-graph (1,257). Three more files of that folder wait a fixed time or build under a time limit: module-graph-isolation.test.ts passes 411 of 413, module-graph-workers.test.ts 476 of 479, and module-graph-compile.test.ts 76 of 76 with a limit of 180 s (two of its builds run over 60 s). Each of the three fails in that way on a build of main alone on this machine too.
  • On the head before (bacfec4: main at 873ab3a, AOT: WebAssembly in the optimizing tier, arm64 branch islands, fixes and new names #1025), which Bump WebKit (oven-sh/WebKit#941 preview): the jobs of an import() run under its AsyncLocalStorage store bun#47371 pinned on Bun's main at 89452d2ac1: the 44 tests, the twenty programs, the test of a compiled test run and 118 stored test runs passed in the same way, and so did 2,204 tests of plugins.test.ts, AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts, AsyncLocalStorage-tracking.test.ts, vm.test.ts, node-module-module.test.js, preload-test.test.js, module-graph.test.ts, module-graph-matrix.test.ts and bundler_compile_prelinked.test.ts.
  • On the head before that (37998c5: main at ee59053, AOT: compiler and module loader fixes; tests that need Bun built-ins move to Bun #1021), which Bump WebKit (oven-sh/WebKit#941 preview): the jobs of an import() run under its AsyncLocalStorage store bun#47371 pinned on Bun's main at 98cda0d8b1: the 44 tests, the twenty programs, the test of a compiled test run and 109 stored test runs passed in the same way, and so did 2,829 tests of the five files of test/js/node/async_hooks, the nine of test/js/node/vm, seven of test/js/bun/module-graph, plugins.test.ts, node-module-module.test.js, preload-test.test.js and bundler_compile_prelinked.test.ts. module-graph-workers.test.ts passed 475 and 476 of its 479 tests in two runs there, and 478 on a build of main: the cells that fail differ from run to run and wait a fixed time too.
  • On 2249c0b (main at 0f29ce7, AOT: fixes after #1001: three places in aot/facts, a build that doubled, module mocks #1008), with the branch of AOT: the next base bun#48120 at 0641921605 and the Bun side applied, in a build with the engine built locally, the same tests passed.
  • On the head before b13f683 (b680617, with the Bun side of that time) 17 of the 44 fail: thirteen tests of a preload, the three of node:vm, and the CommonJS file whose hook a require() comes to first. The program for DynamicImportEvaluateSettled fails there.
  • The fixture async-context-dynamic-import.js runs the same file on Bun and on Node.js.
  • CI built every lane of bb2e5ab and ran the JavaScriptCore tests on seven of them, in two runs. In each run one of the seven lanes failed once, and its tests passed when it was run again: linux-amd64-lto-hardened-aot in the first run, linux-amd64-lto in the second. The machine that wrote this cannot read the logs of CI. On it, the tests of JSTests that load modules ran 80 times with the jsc of the CI build of bb2e5ab and 80 times with that of main (7f020d2), 2,332 test runs a time. One test fails now and then with both, in the modes that have the concurrent JIT: JSTests/modules/module-loaders-lazy-function-declarations.js, at its line 81, which compares two results of $vm.codeBlockFor(). It failed 19 times with main's jsc and 9 times with that of bb2e5ab. No other test failed with the latter. The seven lanes passed at the first run on ca40ac6, which has the tree of bb2e5ab, on 102d173 and on c9f3f15.
  • Earlier heads: on 328b6c9 (this change before b13f683, on 5a61071) the 23 tests of that time, eighteen programs and the test of a compiled test run passed with the CI build of the engine. On 516122f (main at 42067fc, AOT: replace the flow passes and the B3 back end with a scan, a link and one walk #997) 162 of the 163 other programs of test/aot/parallel/modules passed, and reassigned-functions-in-cycles failed in its reference with and without this change.
  • The reporter's downstream: manten (b2c246f) with its three Bun skips removed. Bun 1.4.2: 117 pass, 3 fail. The first commit of this pull request: 120 pass, 0 fail. One of the three specs alone still fails in 5 of 10 runs for the reason in Hand transpiled modules back to the module loader in request order bun#42051.

Review.

  • A self-review of an earlier shape of this change raised 47 concerns. That shape moved the promise of six job kinds out of the cell slot. It ran a job with no store under no context. It also changed the context of unhandledRejection in Bun. This shape keeps the values of every job and scopes only where a store is set. It leaves rejections to the open work above.
  • The first commit had each request take the context that was current where the request was made. The review here found three places where that is not the context of the load. The second commit moves the context to the load. The three places:
    • a synchronous load, after a CommonJS file of its graph entered a store
    • a synchronous load that takes a fetch over from an import()
    • a request that the AOT run time makes again at a later time
  • The second commit had every job enter the context of its load, also in the drain of a synchronous load. The review here found a CommonJS file of a required graph that ran under the store of an import() in flight. The third commit makes the drain enter nothing.
  • Three rounds of self-review of the third commit ran probes on builds of the base, of each commit and on Node.js. They raised 16 more concerns. The commit message lists what they found as 2 to 5: the job behind a top-level await, the two changes for Bun.ModuleGraph, and the entry-point path of aot/runtime. Two earlier shapes of the await rule did not hold: one read the slot, and one compared the slot with its value at the start of the job, which AsyncLocalStorage.run() replaces by a copy when it returns.
  • main's AOT work ([JSC] AOT: handlers at the end of the stack, text constants in flow, samples in native code #934, AOT: per-global program state, mockable exports, heap-allocated generator frames, bug fixes #942, AOT: crashes and wrong answers found since #942, and faster builds of large functions #967 to AOT: follow-up to #982: 48 fixes #983) edited the import code of aot/runtime that this change edits, and the merges kept both sides. AOT: replace the flow passes and the B3 back end with a scan, a link and one walk #997 then replaced that run time. The aot/runtime half was written again for it: the section above says what is carried over, what is not, and what each part is for. AOT: the next base #1001 and AOT: fixes after #1001: three places in aot/facts, a build that doubled, module mocks #1008 edited the same code again, and those merges keep both sides. AOT: compiler and module loader fixes; tests that need Bun built-ins move to Bun #1021 and AOT: WebAssembly in the optimizing tier, arm64 branch islands, fixes and new names #1025 renamed it, and those merges keep the names of main. The upstream sync (Upgrade to upstream WebKit 8156ba68efab #1015) moved the cases of the loader's jobs into functions of their own, and that merge moves the scopes with them. AOT: module instances in test runs, code without types, generators, BigInt, smaller builds #1036 edited the import code again: that merge keeps both sides and takes the async context in three new places.
  • A self-review of that half took a heap snapshot of a compiled executable: the store of an import() that was through hung on a ModuleRegistryEntry. d6f315c drops it where the entry is settled.
  • That review ended with 32 concerns and the disposition "merge after changes". A review of the first answer raised 15 more, and a review of the second answer 51. b13f683 and the Bun side answer 86 of the 98, some in part. What changed:
    • A load that the host begins kept what a preload left in the slot with enterWith(): the entry point and the first test file read that store. The first answer was a flag for such loads. The second review found the entry that no flag reaches: a preload that replaces Module.runMain, which then begins the load from script. The second answer was a reset of the slot where a checkpoint of the event loop ends. The third review measured what else that reset changes (34 readings of listeners that the host calls in the entry point's first turn, 12 of them away from Node.js), found that Preserve AsyncLocalStorage context in unhandledRejection handlers bun#31721 has the same reset with the capture that keeps Node's answer, and found three ways past it (a deferred task, the printer of a rejection, a --hot reload). The loader has no flag now, and Bun resets the slot where it begins a load, at its six entry points for that. The reset where a checkpoint ends stays with Preserve AsyncLocalStorage context in unhandledRejection handlers bun#31721.
    • vm.SourceTextModule#evaluate() in the drain of a require() handed on the store of the import() that was being loaded, also under run() or exit(). This was the concern that this text left open before. The first answer handed nothing on, which moved evaluate() away from Node.js. Such an evaluation continues its caller now. The second answer gave mock.module() the same scope. The third review found that it handed a pending mock factory's frame to the modules of another load, which then got an unmocked copy of a module, with no AsyncLocalStorage in the program. mock.module() has no scope.
    • The filter was a field of each loader, and the loader of a node:vm context never got it.
    • A registry entry kept the answer of its first caller, also where that was a synchronous load that failed.
    • DynamicImportEvaluateSettled ran the getters of a compiled CommonJS file with no scope.
    • The scopes cost three instructions for every microtask on ARM64.
    • New tests: the entry that fails, a call that is made again with no store, the hook of the imported module itself, the preloads (a replaced Module.runMain, the hooks for the next preload, a preload behind a top-level await, a Worker, bun test with --isolate and --parallel, and both ways in which Bun reads a preload), an entry point that waits for a preload's import, node:vm (nine readings and a chain), mock.module() for a linked module, and a load outside any store. A stored test run for a mock below the root of a call under a store is not added: see aot/runtime above.
  • Twelve concerns are not taken:
    • Two ask to carry the context of the record job in its reaction and to delete the field of the registry entry. A reaction cannot take a context after it is registered, and the first caller can be a synchronous load that fails or a caller that only wants the promise. The field takes the answer of the first load, and one place drops it.
    • Four ask for a safeguard so that this half can merge alone: capture that is off until the host switches it on, tests in Bun's main ahead of this change, or an empty commit with the two symbols of the host first. Capture stays on. An off state needs a second path in aot/runtime for the call that is made again, and a capture of its own for the call whose mocks run (AOT: the next base #1001). "The order" says what an unpaired pin does, and which part of the Bun side can go first.
    • Two ask for a pull request of its own, ahead of this pair, for the reset where a checkpoint ends. That reset is no longer a part of this pair, and Preserve AsyncLocalStorage context in unhandledRejection handlers bun#31721 has it.
    • One asks the engine to tell a call from a job by the entry frame, with no word from the host. mock.module() would then hand a factory's frame on again.
    • One asks to move the rows of node:vm, Bun.ModuleGraph and mock.module() to the suites of those. The block holds one rule in all the places where a load begins, and it stays whole.
    • One asks for a row in a node:vm context with its own microtask queue. Bun does not settle the promise of evaluate() there for a module with a top-level await, with or without this change, so such a row cannot end.
    • One asks for a debug-only DisallowVMEntry around the loader jobs that have no scope. It would abort debug builds in the AOT run time, and the owner of that code should decide on it.
  • Answered in part:
    • The decision for each job kind is not in one static_asserted table. Since the upstream sync (Upgrade to upstream WebKit 8156ba68efab #1015) each job is a function of its own, and its scope is the first line of that function. The table is in this text.
    • The defaults = { } of the cell creators stay. That is the file's convention for Bun's trailing parameters (referrerAsyncOrder = -1), whose #else branches omit them.
    • The tests that pin an output which Node.js prints otherwise stay as guards. Each says what Node.js prints, and this text lists them.
    • A test in JSTests for a load that the host begins: the loader has no rule of its own for that load. BUN-TEST-DIFFERENCES.md says which rules of the loader only Bun's tests hold: jsc has no synchronous load, no host function that evaluates for its caller and no filter.
    • evaluate() with nothing current at the call, and a registry entry whose other load fails first: the texts and the comments say what the code does. The code is as it was.
    • A --hot reload begins its load at the same entry point of the host, so it starts under no store. No test runs --hot: the probes for it hang on time.

…import() that asked for it

A job of the module loader ran under the async context that the job before it left. A module that import() loads saw
no AsyncLocalStorage store. So did each hook of the host for a static dependency (resolve, fetch), the body of a
CommonJS module that the loader evaluates, and the then() of a namespace.

The loader now keeps the async context of whoever asks for a module with the request: in ModuleLoadingContext and
ModuleLoaderPayload, where it takes a word that was padding, in the reaction of ModuleRegistryFetchSettled and
AsyncModuleExecutionDone, and as the context of ImportModuleNamespace, which had none. The jobs that can reach code of
the host or of the program run under it (ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope). No cell and no job is added, and every job
but ModuleRegistryFetchSettled carries what it carried.

Where that context is no store, the job runs as it did: under what is in the slot. An entry point is evaluated by
such a job, and what it enters with enterWith() is what the handlers of the process run under today. The jobs that a
synchronous load drains under the context of its caller stay part of the require() call.

What a hook of the host enters inside a load ends with the hook, so every request of a load keeps the context of the
load.

A loader that has its own context (Bun.ModuleGraph) runs the body of a CommonJS module under it, as it does the body
of an ES module.

AOT: the jobs of an import() in compiled code are queued with the async context of the call, which is handed on from
job to job. An import() that is kept outside the queue keeps it. The steps that the runtime takes for the loader take
the context that the loader would have: of the import() that is handed over, of the time before a file ran, and a
CommonJS file that the runtime runs for the loader leaves the context as the job of the loader would.

Walkthrough

Module-loading and compiled-module import paths now carry async contexts through loader state, microtasks, and evaluation. New stress tests check context values during dynamic imports, module evaluation, and top-level-await continuations.

Changes

Module async-context propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Store module-loading async contexts
Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/AsyncContextSwapScope.h, VM.h, VM.cpp, ModuleLoaderPayload.*, ModuleGraphLoadingState.*, ModuleLoadingContext.*, ModuleRegistryEntry.*
These types store async contexts for module loading. Scoped helpers and VM state track module-loader evaluation contexts.
Capture and restore contexts in loader jobs
Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSModuleLoader.*, Completion.cpp, JSMicrotask.cpp
Bun-specific loader paths pass contexts through load setup, host hooks, fetch settlement, namespace imports, and dynamic-import graph loading. Microtask handlers install the applicable context.
Propagate contexts through compiled-module imports
Source/JavaScriptCore/aot/runtime/AOTModuleMicrotasks.h, AOTModuleEvaluation.cpp, AOTModules.*, Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/CyclicModuleRecord.cpp, JSMicrotask.cpp
AOT import jobs retain contexts across queued and deferred work, CommonJS evaluation, and async module completion.
Exercise async contexts across dynamic imports
JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-propagation.js, JSTests/stress/resources/bun-async-context-propagation/*, JSTests/BUN-TEST-DIFFERENCES.md
Stress tests record contexts across module bodies, dependencies, nested imports, top-level-await continuations, and import settlement. The test description now identifies the resource modules.

Explanation

The title names the main change: a module-loader job runs under the async context of the import() call that requested it. The changeset carries the caller's async context through ModuleLoadingContext, ModuleLoaderPayload and ModuleGraphLoadingState, and scopes the loader jobs and aot/runtime under it. The title is specific and matches the code changes and the stress tests.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the WebKit-style structure of the template only partly. It has a problem statement, a fix, background, downsides, and a long verification and notes section. It does not contain the template's required parts: a bug title with a Bugzilla link (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=#####), a 'Reviewed by' line, and the changed-file list with per-function entries. The text is very long and dense, and much of it is Bun-specific release process detail that a WebKit reviewer does not need. The core explanation of why the change fixes the bug is clear and complete.

Resolution

Add the Bugzilla bug title and the bug URL (show_bug.cgi?id=#####). Add the 'Reviewed by' line. Replace the free-form notes with the template's explanation of the fix and the changed-file list, with one entry per changed function (for example '* Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSModuleLoader.cpp:' followed by the function names). Move the Bun release ordering, pin history, and per-commit test logs out of the WebKit PR description, or shorten them to a summary with a link to the relevant tracking item. Keep the Problem, Fix, and Downsides sections.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether the new unguarded-looking uses of AsyncContextSwapScope and JSModuleLoader::asyncContext() in SyntheticModuleRecord.cpp (runDeferredGenerator) and JSModuleLoader.cpp (makeModule) break a USE_BUN_JSC_ADDITIONS=OFF build — both sit inside enclosing #if USE(BUN_JSC_ADDITIONS) regions (SyntheticModuleRecord.cpp:95-153, JSModuleLoader.cpp:1763-1795), so they are not affected.

Extended reasoning...

The change threads the caller's async context through the module loader's internal microtasks, ModuleLoadingContext, ModuleLoaderPayload, ModuleRegistryEntry and the AOT runtime, plus a new stress test; it touches no auth, crypto or input-handling surface. Five confirmed findings are posted inline, so a human review is already signalled; this note only records the compile-guard concern that was examined and ruled out.

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

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

  • 🟡 Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSModuleLoader.cpp — An import() made under an AsyncLocalStorage store runs every job of its load, and every module body it evaluates, under whatever a host resolve() or fetch() hook entered rather than under the import()'s store. The root resolve() at JSModuleLoader.cpp:525 and the root fetch() at JSModuleLoader.cpp:444 get no ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope, unlike the dependency hooks at :843-858 and :1009-1013, so a hook's enterWith(X) is what ModuleLoadingContext::create captures at :453 and :1052 and what :547 captures for ImportModuleNamespace. Fix: wrap the root resolve() and fetch() calls in the same ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope of the current context so that every request of the load captures the import()'s context, not a hook's residue.

    Why this was flagged

    Trigger: a Bun.plugin onResolve or onLoad hook (or any host resolve()/fetch()) calls als.enterWith(X) while import('x') runs under als.run(S). For a static dependency, hostLoadImportedModule scopes the hook at :846-849 and :1009-1013 so the request captures S. For the root request there is no scope: resolve() at :525 and fetch() at :444 run bare, then ModuleLoadingContext::create at :453 records X as the request's asyncContext, and requestImportModuleForKey records X at :547. Every ModuleLoadTopSettled, ModuleLoadStep, ModuleLoadLinkEvaluateSettled and ImportModuleNamespace job of this load (JSMicrotask.cpp:2516-2554, :2610-2613) then installs X, so the imported module's body and its dependency hooks read X where the PR's rule says they read S. The base installed nothing, whereas the new code deterministically installs the hook's value for the whole load. Remedy: scope the root resolve() and fetch() like the dependency sites.

    Verification: Triggers when a host resolve()/fetch() hook calls als.enterWith(X) while import() runs under als.run(S). In Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSModuleLoader.cpp, requestImportModule calls resolve() bare at :525 and loadModule calls fetch() bare at :444; :453 and :547 then capture X, not S. The base branch does not deliver S on this path either. Not covered by JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-propagation.js.

Preview build of fd9c764: autobuild-preview-pr-941-fd9c7641

… load keeps none

The first commit had every request take the async context that was current where the request was made. That is the
context of the load only inside a job that runs under it. Review found where it is not:

- A synchronous load (require() of an ES module) makes its requests inside the call. Once a CommonJS file of the graph
  had entered a store, the jobs behind it put the store of the caller back: the modules behind the file did not see
  what it entered. They do in Node.js, and did before the first commit.
- A synchronous load that takes the fetch of a module over from an import() ran the body of a CommonJS module under
  the store of that import(), inside the require() of another caller.
- aot: a request that waited for a CommonJS file was made again under the context of whoever came to resume it.

Now the async context belongs to the load. It is taken once, where the load starts (import(), or the host's entry
points), and kept in the cells of the load: ModuleLoadingContext, ModuleLoaderPayload and, new, ModuleGraphLoadingState.
Every request that the load makes takes it from its payload (JSModuleLoader::asyncContextOfLoad()), whatever is
current there. The hooks of the host run under it. A synchronous load (ModuleLoadFlag::Synchronous) keeps none: all of
it runs inside the call, in the context of its caller, as it did.

The registry entry holds the context of the load that has the record made, until ModuleRegistryFetchSettled takes it.
A synchronous load that takes the fetch over clears it. The reaction carries the module promise again, so no job
changes what it carries.

aot: CompiledModuleImportSettled gets the async context of the import() paired with the module, and hands it on. A
CommonJS file that the runtime runs for the loader runs under the context of the load that asked for it.

ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope is an AsyncContextSwapScope that enters only for a store. It has no state of its own,
and a job with no store pays for no call.

JSTests: two import() calls under different contexts share a dependency with a top-level await. The module that
waits for it runs in the job of whoever began to evaluate the dependency, as in Node.js.

… await hands on the context of the load

Review of the previous commit found five places where a job ran under a context that is not its own.

1. A synchronous load (require() of an ES module) drains its own queue inside the call. That queue also takes the
   jobs of other loads that come due meanwhile: of an import() in flight, and of an import() that a module calls
   during the drain. Each such job entered the context of its load. So a CommonJS file and an ES module that the
   required graph shares with an import() in flight ran under the store of that import(), inside the call of
   require(). Before this branch, and in Node.js, they run in the context of the caller.

   ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope now enters nothing while vm.synchronousModuleQueue() is set. What the call of
   require() runs, it runs in the context of its caller, as before this branch. ModuleRegistryEntry::clearAsyncContext()
   has no use left: the job that makes the record takes the context of the entry and, in the drain, does not enter it.

2. CyclicModuleRecord::executeAsync() gave the job that runs the modules behind a top-level await what the slot held.
   In a job that entered no context (a load that keeps none, a drain), the slot holds what whoever runs the job runs
   under. An entry point whose await a require() under a store settled ran under that store afterwards, with its
   timers.

   That job continues the job that began to evaluate the awaiting module. The jobs that evaluate now have a
   ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope, and executeAsync() asks JSModuleLoader::asyncContextOfModulesThatWait():
   - where the job entered the context of its load: what is current where the awaiting module begins, as a load would
     keep it. That is the context of the load, or what a module before it entered;
   - where the job did not enter it (a drain): the context of the load. So a module of an import() whose graph a
     drain began to evaluate, and that runs after the call, runs under the store of its import();
   - where the load keeps no context, and where no job of the loader evaluates: none, as before this branch.

3. A loader with an async context of its own (Bun.ModuleGraph) had the body of a CommonJS module run under that
   context in makeModule(). The host already sees to that, and leaves the context of a caller inside the graph
   alone. With the scope in makeModule(), a CommonJS file that a required ES module imports inside a graph lost the
   context of the caller. The scopes in makeModule() and runDeferredGenerator() are gone, and an entry of such a
   loader keeps no context for the job that makes the record.

4. A load kept all of the async context of its caller. Bun.ModuleGraph has the context of a graph in the same slot
   as the stores of AsyncLocalStorage. So a module of the host's loader that code of a graph asked for first ran in
   the context of that graph, and so did the hooks of the host for the dependencies of a graph's module. What runs
   in the context of a graph ends with the graph: such a module with a top-level await never went on once the graph
   was disposed, for anyone.

   JSModuleLoader::asyncContextForLoad() is what a load keeps. The host can set a filter for what no load may keep
   (setAsyncContextOfLoadFilter()). With Bun's filter a load that begins in the context of a graph keeps nothing,
   so its jobs run as before this branch. aot takes the context of an import() from the same place.

5. aot: where an import() under a store loads an entry point and no other job waits, the start of the entry point
   ran its CommonJS files in one call, under one scope. What one file entered reached the next, which it does not
   under `bun run`. The files now run one by one where each has a scope of its own.

What stays as before this branch: a module that the call of require() itself evaluates runs in the context of the
caller, also where it belongs to an import() in flight or to an import() that a required module calls. Node.js
evaluates those later, in jobs of their own.

JSTests: a load under no context that a drain under A begins, where the module behind the await runs under no
context. And a load under A whose first module sets a context, where the module behind the await of the next one
runs under that context, as in Node.js.

I re-ran the automated review on the latest push (335748b) and found no new bugs; given that this reworks how async context flows through every loader job, the sync drain and the AOT runtime, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed on this push:

  • ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope::wouldEnter skipping the scope while vm.synchronousModuleQueue() is set — this covers the require()-drain scenario from the earlier inline thread, and clearAsyncContext() is correctly gone with it.
  • ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope / asyncContextOfModulesThatWait() — the VM pointer is saved and restored by nested scopes and nulled across SynchronousModuleQueueScope, so a drain inside an evaluating job does not hand its context to executeAsync.
  • asyncContextForLoad() with the host filter, and the removed loader-context scopes in makeModule/runDeferredGenerator; ModuleRegistryEntry::takeAsyncContext plus the new visitChildren entry and the 96-byte static_assert.
  • AOT: evaluateImportedCommonJSFiles now scoping each file separately when jobs wait for the loader; a candidate about enterWith() leaking between sibling CommonJS files in the no-wait path was examined and judged a nit matching the documented downside.
Extended reasoning...

The PR threads an async-context value through ModuleLoadingContext, ModuleLoaderPayload, ModuleGraphLoadingState and ModuleRegistryEntry, installs it around eleven internal microtask kinds in JSMicrotask.cpp, adds a VM-level ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope pointer consulted by CyclicModuleRecord::executeAsync, and mirrors the rule in aot/runtime; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. The third commit changes the sync-drain and top-level-await behavior that my previous inline findings targeted, and the bug hunt ran dry on this version with one nit ruled out. The change is large, semantically subtle (ordering of enterWith() across jobs, Bun.ModuleGraph filter, AOT parity) and lives in core JSC runtime code, so it is not a candidate for approval without a human reviewer.

…o async context

With oven-sh/WebKit#941 a load keeps the async context of its caller for its jobs. The context of a graph is in
the same slot as the AsyncLocalStorage stores, and what runs in it ends with the graph. The jobs of a load run the
host's hooks and the modules of the realm's own loader, and neither is a graph's. JSModuleGraph sets the loader's
filter for what a load keeps: none where the caller is in the context of a graph, so those jobs run as before.

Tests: a synchronous load, a top-level await and a Bun.ModuleGraph under AsyncLocalStorage stores, in
plugins.test.ts and as programs of test/aot.

Bun's main pins 4d45755 (#942). Three files of aot/runtime had conflicts.

- The jobs of a compiled import() name their module with moduleForJob() and run in withModuleOfJob() (#942). They still hand on the async context of the import().
- evaluateImportedCommonJSFiles() takes the files left to the loader (#942) and then the async context of the import().
…s call

#942 holds an import() that a file calls while a graph is loaded until the text of the module comes, in a later turn of the event loop. The import() began again there, under the async context of that turn, so its modules did not read the store of the call. TextThatWaits keeps the async context of the call, as CountedImport and DeferredImport do, and deliverFirstTextThatWaits() installs it.

handSynchronousLoadToLoader() hands the load of a require() to the loader. It passes ModuleLoadFlag::Synchronous, as JSModuleLoader::loadModuleSync() does: that load keeps no async context.

I reviewed the revision after the merge of main (#942) and found no bugs; because this rewires async-context handoff through every module-loader job kind and the AOT runtime, a human look from a JSC reviewer is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • The new TextThatWaits.asyncContext path (AOTModules.cpp holdText / deliverFirstTextThatWaits): it captures via currentAsyncContext() and installs with AsyncContextSwapScope the same way DeferredImport does, and handSynchronousLoadToLoader now passes ModuleLoadFlag::Synchronous so the require() load captures nothing, matching loadModuleSync.
  • Deferred-request resumption (AOTModuleEvaluation.cpp resumeDeferredRequests): hostLoadImportedModule now derives the hook scope, ensureModulePromise and the new ModuleLoadingContext from asyncContextOfLoad(payload), so the resumer's slot no longer leaks in.
  • The sync-drain guard (ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope::wouldEnter returning false while vm.synchronousModuleQueue() is set) covers every scoped job kind, including the AOT fast path at AOTModuleEvaluation.cpp:1197.
  • Ruled out as a nit: importDespiteErrorOfLoad (AOTModules.cpp:1947) queues CompiledModuleImportSettled without an async context, so a namespace then after a mock-ended load reads no store in a compiled executable; narrow mock.module() edge, not a regression of the main fix.
Extended reasoning...

The PR adds async-context capture to ModuleLoadingContext, ModuleLoaderPayload, ModuleGraphLoadingState and ModuleRegistryEntry, installs ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope / ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope around eleven internal microtask kinds in JSMicrotask.cpp plus the host resolve/fetch hooks, and mirrors that in aot/runtime (CountedImport, DeferredImport, TextThatWaits), with a new JSTests stress test; about 640 lines across 42 files. It touches no injection, auth or data-exposure surface; the risk is behavioral (which AsyncLocalStorage store a module body or hook observes). It was not approved because the change is large and subtle, Source/JavaScriptCore and JSTests are covered by CODEOWNERS (jsc-reviewers), and the earlier inline findings were all closed by author self-resolution, though the code now reflects fixes for them (payload-derived context on resumed requests, the synchronousModuleQueue guard in wouldEnter). The bug hunt ran dry on this revision, which includes a fresh post-merge commit adapting to #942.

#967, #971 and #972 changed how an import() waits for its text. Two files of aot/runtime had conflicts.

- TextThatWaits has the new fields of main and then the async context of the call.
- deliverFirstTextThatWaits() installs that async context around the call of startImport() that main makes.
- The jobs that main queues in startImport() and decideHowCountedImportGoesOn() still carry the async context of the import().
…n would

deliverFirstTextThatWaits() can run in the job of another import(), where main delivers the calls that come with the call in front. The import() that it starts again runs under the async context of its own call, or under none where that call had none, and ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope names its load for the modules that wait. In the drain of a synchronous load it enters no async context, as the jobs of the loader.

Code review found no issues

No high-confidence issues detected in this change.

#997 replaced the module run time of aot/runtime. Four files of aot/runtime and four of runtime/ had conflicts.

runtime/: both sides stay. loadRequestedModules() takes the load that asks (main) and then the async context (this branch). The scope around the host's resolve() stands in front of willAnswerRequestOfUncompiledModule(). ModuleGraphLoadingState visits both new fields.

aot/runtime: the four files are main's, and the rule is applied to the run time that #997 brings.
- The three CompiledModuleImport jobs carry the async context of the call of import(), as before.
- A call whose text is on its way keeps the async context of the call (TextOnItsWay, and TextThatWaits in a test run). startImportWhoseTextHasCome() and makeCallAgain() make the call again under it.
- A deferred import keeps it for its step.
- A CommonJS file that the loader would run in a job of its own runs under the async context of its load, one scope a file. The start of an entry point does not run all its files in one call where a scope would enter.
- handSynchronousLoadToLoader() passes ModuleLoadFlag::Synchronous: the load that stands for a require() keeps no async context.
- ModuleRecord::executeAsync() asks asyncContextOfModulesThatWait().

Not carried over, because #997 removed what they were for: the counted imports and the imports that wait behind a load. A graph that waits behind earlier calls is held with its payload, which has the async context. The async context that handGraphToLoader() put back before the steps of the loader is not carried over either: no program shows a difference with it in this run time.

Code review completed

Nothing new to post: everything this review found is already covered by existing comments on this pull request or didn't merit a separate one.

…thout its job

An entry of the registry keeps the async context of the load that has its record made. It keeps it for the job that makes the record (ModuleRegistryFetchSettled), and that job takes it.

The AOT run time runs a CommonJS file ahead of the loader. Where the file queues a job, it hands the graph to the loader, drops the entry's job from the queue and settles the entry itself (finishStepInWhichFileRan()). Nothing took the context then, so the entry kept the store of the import() for as long as the loader lives. In a compiled executable, the stores of six import() calls that were through were all alive after a collection.

fetchComplete() and the setters of an error drop the context now: it ends with the entry's fetch, whoever settles the entry.

…lected in a compiled executable

Six calls of import() under a store each. Each module imports a CommonJS file that queues a job, so the run time hands the graph to the loader behind the file and settles the registry entry of the file itself. The entry kept the store of the call before oven-sh/WebKit#941 at d6f315cb63: the executable printed that six of six stores were left.
#999 and #1000 merge without a conflict. Neither changes how a pending import() is kept or made again.

main has the rewritten ahead-of-time compiler (#47942) and pins WebKit 5a61071f79. 328b6c9bb4 is that commit with the commits of oven-sh/WebKit#941 merged in.
#1001 had conflicts in three files of aot/runtime.

- #1001 keeps the async context of one kind of call: an import() whose mocks run when its text has come (asyncContextOfCallWhoseMocksRunNow in TextOnItsWay). This branch keeps the async context of every import() whose text is on its way, so one field serves both: TextOnItsWay::asyncContext. startImportWhoseTextHasCome() installs it, and the mock factories of such a call still run in the store of the call.
- TextOnItsWay and TextThatWaits have the moment of the call from main and then the async context.
- finishImportOfEvaluatedModule() makes the call again where the module still evaluates. It hands on the async context of its job.
- ModuleRecord::executeAsync() asks asyncContextOfModulesThatWait() and then tells the run time that the body runs.

… and one filter for the VM

A host function can evaluate a module for the script that calls it: node:vm's SourceTextModule#evaluate(). The
modules that wait in that evaluation for a top-level await took their async context from the job of the loader that
was on the stack. In the drain of a synchronous load they got the store of the import() that was being loaded, also
where the call was under run() or exit(). With no job that had a store they got none.
ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope has a form for such a host function (CalledByScript): the evaluation continues the
call, as a load continues the call of import(). The job behind the await gets what is current where the awaiting
module begins. Node.js does the same. Where nothing is current at the call, the job gets none, as in a load with no
store.

With it:

- The filter of what a load keeps is one pointer on the VM. It was a field of each loader, and the loader of a
  node:vm context, which shares the slot, never got it.
- A registry entry: the first load that asks says under which async context the record is made. A caller that is no
  load and a synchronous load say nothing. Where a synchronous load comes to the entry first and fails, the import()
  that still waits has its store. setStatus() drops the context where the entry is settled: one place, where four
  setters did it. One load answers: where another load of the key fails first, the record is made under none.
- DynamicImportEvaluateSettled makes the namespace. For a compiled CommonJS file that reads the exports, which can
  call getters of the program. There the job has the async context of the import(), paired with the module.
- The scopes of the loader's jobs do their rare part out of line. Inline, the address of two far fields of the VM
  was hoisted in front of the switch of runInternalMicrotask() on ARM64, for every microtask.

The loader does not ask who begins a load. What the slot holds where the host begins one with no script on the stack
is the host's to say: Bun resets the slot there.
#1008 had conflicts in three files of aot/runtime, in eight places. Each place takes both sides.

- TextOnItsWay has the async context of the call from this branch, and then the module that wrote the call and its moment among the factories from main. holdText() fills all three.
- deliverFirstTextOnItsWay() sets main's three values for the call that it starts, and hands the async context of the call to startImportWhoseTextHasCome(), which installs it.
- startImportWhoseTextHasCome() and makeCallAgain() install the async context of the call and then ask whether the links of the load were held before the walk.
- An import() of an evaluated module notes a mock in place (main) and queues its steps with the async context of the call.
- finishImportOfEvaluatedModule() takes the namespace that main keeps for a call under a mock. Where it makes the call again, it hands on the async context of its job.

… and evaluate() continues its caller

The pin is oven-sh/WebKit#941 on the pin of main, with its last commit: the filter of what a load keeps is one
pointer on the VM, and a host function that evaluates a module for its caller says so.

- GlobalObject::resetAsyncContextAtEventLoop() is the statement that drainMicrotasks() has where a checkpoint begins.
  The host now also calls it where it begins a load with no script on the stack: a preload, the entry point, a test
  file, the built-in entry point, a Module.runMain that a preload replaced, a module of the bundler's server. What the
  script that ran last left in the slot with enterWith() is not the async context of that load. With the pin, the load
  would keep it for all of its jobs.
- ModuleGraph.cpp sets VM::asyncContextOfLoadFilter.
- vm.SourceTextModule#evaluate() continues its caller: the modules that wait there for a top-level await read what
  the caller reads.

Tests: a preload that calls enterWith() (the entry point, a CommonJS entry point, a replaced Module.runMain, the next
preload and its hooks, the entry point of a Worker, test files under three modes of bun test), an entry point that
waits for a module that a preload began to import, node:vm, mock.module() for a linked module, a load outside any
store, and three AOT programs.

I reviewed the latest push (b13f683) and found no new bugs; because it changes the loader's host-facing contract (the load filter moves from JSModuleLoader to VM::asyncContextOfLoadFilter, and the new CalledByScript scope form has no in-tree caller), a human look from the Bun side is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • ModuleRegistryEntry: the first-load-answers rule in ensureModulePromise (undefined now locks the entry; an empty value from a synchronous load or a plain caller does not) and setStatus clearing the context on every settled status, including the provideModule/replaceRecord/fetchComplete paths now routed through it.
  • ModuleEvaluationAsyncContextScope: the CalledByScript constructor and handsOnWhatIsCurrent() in asyncContextOfModulesThatWait; the ENABLE(AOT) DynamicImportEvaluateSettled tuple wrap/unwrap leaves the module in argument2, and the new m_asyncContext fields are visited by the GC.
  • Not done: building jsc and running JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-propagation.js (the CLAUDE.md quick-test step); the test's expectations were checked by reading only.
Extended reasoning...

The change threads an async context (Bun's AsyncLocalStorage store) through the module loader's cells (ModuleLoadingContext, ModuleLoaderPayload, ModuleGraphLoadingState, ModuleRegistryEntry) and installs it around eleven internal microtask kinds, the host resolve/fetch hooks, and the AOT runtime's import jobs, with a new stress test. It touches no auth, crypto, or injection surface; the sensitive part is correctness of context propagation across the loader, the synchronous require() drain, and top-level-await continuations. The latest commit since my last review moves the load filter from a per-loader field to a VM pointer, adds a CalledByScript scope form for host functions such as node:vm evaluate(), and changes the registry entry to let the first asking load fix the record's context, cleared centrally in setStatus. The diff is about 700 lines across 43 files in a complex, Bun-specific area with the new API's consumers living outside this repository, so a human review remains appropriate.

#1021 renamed much of the loader and of aot/runtime, and had conflicts in six files, in sixteen places. Each place
takes the names of main and the async context of this branch.

- JSModuleLoader: loadRequestedModules() has parentState from main and then the async context of the load.
  loadModuleSync() asks whether the load was pending (main), and both of its loads are synchronous ones, which keep
  no async context.
- evaluateImportedCommonJSFiles(): the EagerLoad of main, and one scope for each file that runs under the async
  context of its load.
- TextOnItsWay and TextThatWaits have callSequenceNumber from main and then the async context of the call.
  holdText() fills it beside main's caller module and sequence number.
- deliverFirstTextOnItsWay() sets main's three values for the call that it starts and hands the async context of the
  call to startImportWhoseTextHasCome(), which installs it. makeCallAgain() does the same for a test run.

main has #48120, which pins WebKit at ee59053d32. WEBKIT_VERSION is now 37998c5702: oven-sh/WebKit#941 with that
commit merged in.

Conflicts: the pin, the end of plugins.test.ts (main's new tests, then the block of this branch), and the two lists of
CI's runner, which take main's and get the test of this branch again (test/aot/ci-lists.test.ts).

#1025 gave new names to much of aot/runtime and had conflicts in four files, in eleven places. Each place takes the
names of main and the async context of this branch.

- QueuedFetch and BatchedFetch (TextOnItsWay and TextThatWaits before) have the async context of the call, and then
  main's caller module, sequence number and count of disk reads. enqueueFetch() and holdTextOfCall() fill it.
- fulfillFirstQueuedFetch() sets main's three values for the call that it starts and hands the async context of the
  call to startImportWhoseTextHasCome(), which installs it. makeCallAgain() does the same for a test run.
- startImport(): where the import of an evaluated module was held for a body, main finishes it in place. That call of
  finishImportOfEvaluatedModule() gets the async context of the import(), as the queued step does.
- evaluateImportedCommonJSModules(): main's job policy, and one scope for each file that runs under the async context
  of its load.

Code review completed

Nothing new to post: everything this review found is already covered by existing comments on this pull request or didn't merit a separate one.

main has two AOT landings (#1028, #1030) ahead of the upstream sync. No conflicts.

264cf6d is the commit that Bun's main pins (oven-sh/bun#48478). The merge of the upstream sync comes next.
…e-loader-async-context

main has the upstream sync now (#1015). One file had conflicts: JSMicrotask.cpp.

The sync gives every internal microtask a function of its own, and runInternalMicrotask() tail-calls it. So the
scopes of this branch move out of the cases of the old switch into the functions of the twelve jobs of the loader:
runModuleRegistryFetchSettled(), runModuleLoadStep(), runModuleLoadTopSettled(), runModuleLoadLinkEvaluateSettled(),
runDynamicImportLoadSettled(), runDynamicImportDeferLoadSettled(), runDynamicImportEvaluateSettled(),
runImportModuleNamespace(), runAsyncModuleExecutionDone() and the three runCompiledModuleImport*(). Each scope is the
first thing in its function, so it ends behind the throw scope of the job, as it did around the call in the switch.
The dispatcher is main's.

The comment at ModuleLoaderAsyncContextScope no longer speaks of the switch.

main has #48478, which pins WebKit at 264cf6db41. WEBKIT_VERSION is now 102d1739cb: oven-sh/WebKit#941 with that
commit merged in.

Conflict: the pin.
#1036 had conflicts in four files, in six places. Each place takes the code of main and the async context of this
branch.

- startImportWhoseTextHasCome() has main's loaderPromise behind the async context of the call.
- holdTextOfCall() inserts the BatchedFetch at main's place, with the async context of the call.
- startImport() notes the import in flight, as main does, and queues its step with the async context.
- loadModuleSync() loads the root again as a synchronous load. main does that in plain Bun too now.

Three places of #1036 that merged without a conflict take the async context too.

- tryRestartReleasedImport() makes the call of an import again where the instance of its module was released. It
  passed the promise as the fourth argument of startImportWhoseTextHasCome(), which is the async context on this
  branch. It takes the async context of its job now and hands it on.
- evaluateOriginalAsync() is a third executeAsync(), for a compiled original. The job behind its top-level await gets
  asyncContextOfModulesThatWait(), as the jobs of the other two do.
- ModuleRegistryFetchSettled can run a second time, behind the source of a module that was released during its
  fetch. The first run gives the async context back to the registry entry (giveBackAsyncContext()), and the second
  run takes it.
