Subject: [PATCH 001/174] test: run process.on('exit') handlers in `bun test`

`bun run` calls vm.on_exit() before global_exit(), which dispatches the
process 'exit' event and drains cleanup hooks. The test command only set
exit_code and went straight to global_exit(), so exit handlers never ran
under `bun test`.

This silently weakened the vendored Node.js test suite. node's
common.mustCall(fn, N) verifies its counts from a process 'exit' handler
(runCallChecks), so every mustCall count was unchecked: a file calling a
mustCall(3) callback once still reported success, where node exits 1 with
"Mismatched function calls. Expected exactly 3, actual 1."

Handlers run before the bun:test GC roots are released, since they are user
JS and may touch still-live state.

Subject: [PATCH 002/174] node:test: implement run()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replaces the blanket throwNotImplemented with a real implementation:

- node-exact option validation, in node's order (runner.js:731-909), so the
  error codes and mutually-exclusive pairs match: forceExit×watch,
  shard×watch, globPatterns×files, env×isolation:'none', and the
  testTagFilters / testNamePatterns / testSkipPatterns normalization.
- TestsStream: a Readable in objectMode with node's buffering, emitting each
  message as both an event and a stream chunk.
- Execution: each file runs in its own `bun test` child, spawned with
  NODE_TEST_CONTEXT set (node's variable — its own tests branch on it to tell
  parent from child). The child streams one JSON event per line; unmarked
  stdout/stderr become test:stdout/test:stderr. The parent republishes them,
  aggregates counts, and emits a per-file and a run-level test:summary.
- node's recursion guard, so a file calling run() on itself doesn't fork
  forever.

Options that cannot be honored yet (watch, coverage, shard, isolation:'none',
globPatterns, globalSetupPath) throw rather than being silently ignored.

Driving a real file end-to-end produces byte-identical output to node v26.3.0
for test:pass/test:fail (name, nesting, error message) and both summaries.
Vendors test-runner-tags-validation.mjs (13/13).

From 9c7ab479cf6c647179468d123b9097ae358246fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 003/174] node:test: expectFailure, skipped-suite semantics,
 and run() event fidelity
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds node v26.3.0's `expectFailure` (xfail) option, which was missing
entirely: the option parser (string label, function/RegExp validator,
object form, and the empty-object rejection), the inverted verdict — a
failing body is the expected outcome, a passing one fails with
failureType 'expectedFailure' — and the `expectFailure` field on the
reported event.

Two node divergences the upstream tests surfaced, both reachable from
plain `bun test`, not just run():

- A skipped suite ran its callback. Node never invokes it, so its
  children are never declared and its side effects never happen.
- `{ skip: true, todo: true }` was treated as todo. Node checks skip
  first, for both tests and suites.

run() now reports what node reports: the file-level test node emitted
under process isolation (enqueue/dequeue/complete, plus test:fail with
'testCodeFailure' when the file itself dies and 'subtestsFailed' when
its tests do), the skip and todo directive events bun never sent,
details.type, suites counted only in `suites`, and failureType
preserved across the child process boundary.

A vendored test that only drives run() is the parent of that run, not a
test file — Node executes it as a plain script, and under `bun test` a
file registering no tests of its own exits before its run() finishes.
The runner now picks `bun run` for those, gated so a file with any
unindented registration of its own keeps `bun test` rather than
silently passing having tested nothing. 4 of the 88 vendored node:test
files change subcommand, all of them added here.

Vendors 5 upstream tests (expect-error, expect-error-but-pass,
todo-skip-tests, filetest-location, tags-experimental-warning), taking
the test_runner suite from 20 to 26 of 81. Every behavior above was
diffed against the real node v26.3.0 binary.

Subject: [PATCH 005/174] node:test: address review comments

- Child spawn puts execArgv before the test keyword, like node's
  getRunArgs, so runtime flags land in the child's process.execArgv.
- TestsStream's buffer uses createFIFO per the built-in convention
  (initialized in the constructor: the intrinsic mis-emits in a
  class-field initializer).
- toRegExpPatterns uses the tamper-proof RegExp check.
- The exit-handler tests drain both spawned pipes.

Subject: [PATCH 008/174] test: drain the event loop for node tests; fix
 addAbortListener and Server asyncDispose
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three fixes behind the five vendored-test failures that surfaced once
`bun test` started running process.on('exit') handlers:

- `bun test` can now drain the event loop after a file's tests finish,
  like a node process would before exiting, so in-flight async work
  (fs I/O, workers, sockets) completes before exit handlers verify
  common.mustCall() counts. Opt-in via BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1 —
  the vendored-node-test runner sets it; bun suites keep
  exit-after-tests. A file that leaks a ref'd handle then waits like
  node would, bounded by the runner's per-test timeout.

- events.addAbortListener now registers a native abort algorithm
  instead of an 'abort' event listener: the native EventTarget drops
  node's [kResistStopPropagation] option, so an earlier listener's
  stopImmediatePropagation() silenced it. Abort algorithms run in
  runAbortSteps() before the event dispatch and cannot be suppressed.
  node:events had its own duplicate inline implementation that
  bypassed internal/abort_listener entirely; it now delegates.

- Server[Symbol.asyncDispose] resolves immediately when the server is
  not listening, like node's lib/net.js guard; a second dispose used
  to reject with ERR_SERVER_NOT_RUNNING and re-emit 'close'.

Verified byte-identical to the node v26.3.0 binary on each repro; all
five previously-failing vendored tests pass, and the net, stream and
events suites are unaffected.

Subject: [PATCH 009/174] addAbortListener: keep listenerCount observable;
 clippy + run() gates

- addAbortListener: pair the abort algorithm with a once 'abort' listener
  so events.listenerCount(signal, 'abort') stays at 1 like node's
  addEventListener path. The algorithm still does the actual work so
  stopImmediatePropagation cannot suppress it. Fixes 6 vendored node
  tests (http/http2/https abort-controller, events-on-async-iterator)
  that the previous commit regressed.
- env_var: register BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP as a typed boolean and
  read it via bun_core::env_var (clippy disallows std::env::var_os).
- run(): gate only/testNamePatterns/testSkipPatterns so a filter that
  cannot be honored throws instead of silently running every test.
  testTagFilters stays validated-but-deferred (upstream validation
  tests depend on it returning a stream).
- TestOptions: add the expectFailure field the constructor now reads.

Subject: [PATCH 016/174] node:test: `--test` CLI mode, node:test/reporters,
 and standalone execution
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three missing Node surfaces, verified against the node v26.3.0 binary:

`bun --test` now enters Node's test-runner CLI mode. The flag family is
declared hidden in the AUTO/RUN param tables (value-taking ones must be
declared or their value parses as the entrypoint, and execArgv's
re-parser derives its value-consuming set from AUTO_PARAMS), and boots
an embedded driver through the eval path. The driver does node's file
discovery (default globs, literal paths, directories, the
"Could not find" error and shard filtering), reads the `--test-*` flags
back out of process.execArgv, runs files through node:test's run(), and
composes reporters over the event stream. Options that cannot be
honored yet throw rather than silently dropping behavior.

node:test/reporters is a real module now: dot, junit, spec, tap and
lcov ported from Node v26.3.0, registered as a prefix-only builtin.

Standalone mode: `bun file.js` on a file that uses node:test bootstraps
the runner the way Node's harness does — registrations queue, a
beforeExit pass executes them with the shim's own machinery, the spec
reporter prints, and the exit code reflects failures. Its output is
line-identical to node's for the same file.

run() children now emit node's full event stream — enqueue/dequeue,
complete-before-start flush order, per-scope plans, suite completion
events with accurate failed counts, todo inheritance (a failing test in
a todo suite reports todo and cannot fail the run) — and print nothing
of their own: the banner, per-test lines, summaries, file headers and
test-attributed error dumps are suppressed when NODE_TEST_CONTEXT is
child-v8, keyed on the exact value so a foreign runner's env cannot
silence an unrelated `bun test`. Errors between tests still print and
count, else the child would exit 0 and the parent would report a pass.
With that, a custom reporter over `bun --test` produces byte-identical
event counts to node's own pinned expectation.

Vendors 6 more upstream tests (cli-timeout, cli-concurrency,
todo-suite-hook-failure, mock-timers-with-timeout,
enable-source-maps-issue, root-duration) and their fixtures, taking the
test_runner suite from 26 to 32 of 81.

Known gaps, all loud or documented: --test-name-pattern /
--test-skip-pattern / --test-only throw NotImplemented; multi-file tap
keeps per-file numbering; synthesized events carry no declaration
line/column; Bun.Glob mis-parses `test/**/*` inside a brace group, so
the default pattern ships split in two.

Subject: [PATCH 017/174] node:test: run({ isolation: 'none' })
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Files import into the calling process (all registrations first, like
node), then one merged queue executes with shared root hooks. Verified
against the node v26.3.0 binary: the cross-file GLOBAL_ORDER fixture is
byte-identical — root before() hooks added to the already-started root
run synchronously mid-import, which is how they interleave with file
loads; only-marked branches silently drop everything else; testTagFilters
prune by inherited tag intersection.

Test and hook callbacks are now invoked with `this` bound to their
context (node does this for test bodies, hooks and describe callbacks
alike), every per-test event carries a stable numeric testId/parentId,
and a file that fails to import becomes a failing file-level test node
with node's five-event sequence.

Guards and state hygiene, each found by driving the runtime: the run
saves and restores the standalone queue and mode flags so a caller's
own tests and any later test files still run (previously they silently
vanished); an overlapping or self-importing run hits the recursion
warning instead of deadlocking or crashing; files: [] runs nothing
instead of glob-discovering the tree; a root before-hook failure fails
the run cleanly instead of destroying the stream.

Vendors 4 more upstream tests (tags-events, no-isolation,
no-isolation-different-cwd, test-id) and their fixtures: test_runner
32 -> 36 of 81. test-runner-enqueue-file-syntax-error stays out only
because it pins V8's exact SyntaxError wording.

Subject: [PATCH 019/174] runner: skip vendored node fixtures in discovery;
 satisfy duplicate-property-access lint

- test/js/node/test/fixtures/** keeps upstream names like two.test.js but
  those files only work when driven by their parallel/ test; the runner
  glob was executing them directly (GLOBAL_ORDER undefined on CI).
- hoist repeated property reads flagged by the new
  no-duplicate-conditional-property-access rule from main.

Subject: [PATCH 020/174] review: drain flag for run() children, null-proto
 descriptors, drop dead is_shutting_down write

- runOneFile force-sets BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1 so a user-supplied
  env cannot drop node's loop-drain semantics for the spawned child.
- abort_listener: null-prototype defineProperty descriptors, consistent
  with the rest of src/js.
- test_command: on_exit() already sets is_shutting_down; drop the
  now-redundant write on the next line.

 events: cache the abort_listener require

- run({ signal:'x' }) / run({ timeout:-1 }) / run({ concurrency:'x' })
  now throw the same ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE / ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE node does
  via its root Test constructor, honoring the 'errors are observable'
  contract on validateRunOptions.
- events.addAbortListener caches the internal-module lookup like every
  other lazy require in this file.

Subject: [PATCH 024/174] test_command: use on_before_exit() for the opt-in
 drain; node:test: inherit todoFlag and report skipped inline subtests

- The drain loop now calls vm.on_before_exit() instead of hand-writing
  its inner while, so process.on('beforeExit') handlers fire between
  drain and 'exit' like they do under bun run and node.
- TestNode inherits todoFlag from its parent, matching node's
  this.isTodo = ... || this.parent?.isTodo and the expectFailure line
  directly below it.
- addTest/addSuite's execution-phase skip early returns now emit the
  directive event like the collection-phase paths already do, so a
  skipped t.test() subtest lands in run()'s counts.skipped.

Subject: [PATCH 031/174] node:test: reporter-output parity with node

Makes the default node:test output match node's byte-for-byte in structure:
skip/todo directives carry reasons and falsy-but-defined values still run the
body as node does; run-child skips report at their execution turn so
declaration order and TAP numbering hold; durations use rounded hrtime values;
failures are wrapped in ERR_TEST_FAILURE with failureType, cause and assertion
extras serialized across the pipe; timeouts count as cancelled and abort
t.signal; multi-file runs renumber verdict events at the parent with a single
run-level plan; SIGINT and SIGTERM produce test:interrupted and exit 1, with
handlers scoped to the run; run() discovers default files; spec and lcov are
exported as construct-wrapper functions and standalone reporters attach via
compose with destination flags honored, with function-or-stream validated
upfront using node's error.

Uncaught exceptions and unhandled rejections during a run-child are attributed
via an AsyncLocalStorage context carrying the owning test: a running test fails
with node's failureType, a finished test reports at root level without blaming
a bystander, and the failure also settles a pending body so the child cannot
hang awaiting a promise that will never resolve. The native gate for this is
registered in-process by the shim rather than read from the inheritable
NODE_TEST_CONTEXT variable, so a grandchild bun test run keeps collector
semantics and a throw swallowed by a user uncaughtException listener still
fails the test.

Adds eight upstream Node v26.3.0 test-runner tests with their fixtures, and two
regression tests covering the pending-body hang and the grandchild env leak,
both red on the previous code.

 debug builds

run() spawns a second bun process; under ASAN each spawn costs ~3s so the 4s race fired before the child finished starting. Scale the window by isDebug and lift the bun:test timeout to 30s.

Subject: [PATCH 038/174] node:test: plan({wait:true}) keepalive; tapEscape
 order; Windows test fixes

- TestPlan.check: arm a ref'd keepalive for wait:true so an .unref()'d user timer still fires on Windows (auto_tick busy-spins with no ref'd handle); same mitigation the numeric-wait path already documents.

- tapEscape: escape backslash and # before control chars so the control-char escapes are not doubled; matches node's tap.js order.

- junit reporter: guard error.message before .trim() so a non-Error throw does not kill the stream.

- isBuiltinModule.cpp: move node:test/reporters to the 19-char group so the sorted-by-length invariant holds.

- node-test.test.ts: resolve run() fixture paths via fileURLToPath (Windows .pathname is /C:/...); drain stderr alongside stdout; lift the suite default timeout for debug+ASAN's ~3s-per-spawn cost.

- runFiles keeps childProc/fileNode/interrupted as a closure-local state object passed into runOneFile, so overlapping process-isolation run() calls cannot clobber each other's SIGINT bookkeeping.

- addSuite's bun:test-registration wrapper catches a sync throw from the describe callback and calls noteSuiteCollectionSettled before rethrowing, matching the inline-suite and standalone paths; without it the suite and every enclosing suite's childrenDone accounting never completed.

- runChildReporterEnabled checks NODE_TEST_CONTEXT === 'child-v8' (same predicate as the Rust is_node_test_child() gate) so a foreign runner's env value cannot reroute uncaught-exception attribution or emit protocol lines.

- discoverRunFiles uses the already-bound path local for .sep.

Subject: [PATCH 040/174] node:test: surface suite.error; cancel children on
 setup failure; per-run root snapshot

- maybeCompleteSuite prefers the stored suite.error (wrapped as ERR_TEST_FAILURE) over the synthesized 'N subtests failed' message, so a throwing describe body or before() hook reports its real error instead of a miscounted subtestsFailed that spec filters out.

- runStandaloneEntry breaks out of before() on a non-todo failure and reports declared children as cancelledByParent instead of running them against broken setup, matching executeStandaloneQueue's root handling and Node's Suite.run. An async describe rejection (build) takes the same path.

- runFilesInProcess snapshots and restores root.hooks and root.reportedCount alongside the other saved state, so a second isolation:'none' run (or the caller's beforeExit pass) does not re-fire the first run's root after() hooks or continue its testNumber sequence.

- runOneFile's subtestsFailed message counts failed+cancelled with === 1 pluralization, so a cancelled-only file no longer reports '0 subtest failed'.

Subject: [PATCH 042/174] node:test: bubble expectFailure suite verdict;
 forward todo reason; drop write-only #reported

- maybeCompleteSuite writes suite.childrenFailed back when a passing expectFailure suite is forced to fail, so callers (which re-derive the bubble bit from that field) mark the parent failed too; mirrors the isTodo zeroing above it.

- The suite verdict's todo field now carries directiveMessage like the sibling emitters, so a running {todo:'reason'} suite renders '# T'+'ODO reason' instead of a bare directive.

- SpecReporter: drop the write-only #reported field and its unshift; node's port uses it to compute hasChildren for inline error detail, but this port keeps inline details off and reports errors in the summary block.

 children; sequential failed-import numbering

- reportCancelledNode now walks a cancelled suite's standaloneChildren so every leaf emits cancelledByParent (mirroring node's postRun() recursion), otherwise a suite-only subtree lands in counts.suites alone and never reaches counts.cancelled, so a failing before() whose only child is a nested describe exited 0.

- runFilesInProcess's failed-import catch takes testNumber from ++counts.topLevel (the same counter republishChildEvent's renumbering bumps), and the root test:plan reads counts.topLevel so it covers failed-import file nodes too.

Subject: [PATCH 045/174] node:test: surface reporter-destination write errors;
 TestContext for standalone root hooks

- attachStandaloneReporters logs a destination write-stream error and sets exitCode=1 (pipe() does not back-propagate to composed, so the listener swallowed EACCES/ENOENT and the run exited 0 with no output file).

- executeStandaloneQueue invokes root before/after with hookArgFor(root) so the root gets a TestContext (node's root is a Test), matching the immediate-run path in before().

Subject: [PATCH 046/174] node:test: record async-describe rejection; chain
 events for empty suites; standalone --test-force-exit

- addSuite's bun:test wrapped() settles via .then(resolve, reject) so an async describe rejection marks the suite failed before settling, matching the sync-throw catch above it and the standalone twin's build await.

- maybeCompleteSuite calls reportQueueChain/reportStartChain so an empty suite still emits enqueue/dequeue/start; the helpers are idempotent no-ops when a child already walked up.

- runStandalone checks process.execArgv for --test-force-exit and process.exit()s after reporters finish, mirroring the eval driver.

Subject: [PATCH 047/174] node:test: await reporter attachment; wire
 run({signal}); gate latched attribution listeners

- runStandalone awaits attachStandaloneReporters so every stream.pipe(copy) is in place before tests emit; the flush promises are collected into a caller-owned array and awaited in finally. A builtin+custom reporter pair now both see the full event stream.

- runFiles wires opts.signal alongside SIGINT/SIGTERM (and checks .aborted upfront) so controller.abort() kills the current child and breaks the file loop with test:interrupted.

- attributeProcessError returns early when no run is active, so the process listeners latched by an isolation:'none' run do not pre-empt the caller's own uncaughtException/unhandledRejection handling.

Subject: [PATCH 048/174] node:test: swallow run-child todo-suite
 describe/after failures as advisory

Run-child mode registers describe.todo as a plain describe so children report as todo; a throwing describe body or after() hook then reached bun:test's describe-error / afterAll-failure path and the child exited nonzero, which runOneFile synthesized as a file-level test:fail where Node exits 0. wrapped()'s two catch sites now swallow (return undefined) for a todo suite, and after()'s afterAll handler mirrors before()'s guard. The standalone twin's !isTodoSuite gates already covered this.

Subject: [PATCH 049/174] node:test: onlyFlag for test.only spelling; await
 suite builds before pruning; restore standaloneSink; junit quote escape order

- TestNode.onlyFlag is set by both {only:true} and the .only() method spelling (via a new 'only' mode arg), and entryHasOnly/pruneToOnly read it, so mixing test.only('a') with test('b',{only:true}) prunes the same way node does.

- runFilesInProcess awaits every suite's build promise before tag/only pruning so an async describe that registers children after a macrotask is not dropped or bypassed.

- restoreAfterInProcessRun snapshots/restores standaloneSink instead of hardcoding null, so a standalone caller's sink survives a nested isolation:'none' run.

- junit escapeAttribute escapes ampersands before inserting &quot; (matching node's order) so a test named say "hi" renders name="say &quot;hi&quot;" not &amp;quot;.

Subject: [PATCH 051/174] node:test: sync-throw cancels children; settle inline
 suites; gate hooks under skipped ancestor; interrupted-return early; drop
 write-only TestNode.cancelled

- runStandaloneEntry seeds setupFailed from node.error so a sync-throwing describe cancels its declared children the same way the async-rejection case does.

- scheduleSuiteSubtest aligns the suite's childrenCount/childrenDone with reportedCount and calls noteSuiteCollectionSettled, so a describe() created inside a running test emits test:complete/plan/verdict to match the enqueue/dequeue/start its child already walked up.

- before()/after() return early in run-child mode when the owner (or an ancestor) is a {skip: ''} suite, so a nested describe under one does not register beforeAll/afterAll that bun:test would then run around cancelled leaves.

- runOneFile returns on state.interrupted before the per-file summary and the synthetic-failure fileCounts bumps, so those phantom counts are not merged without a matching event.

- Deleted the write-only TestNode.cancelled field and its sole assignment; the cancelled bucket is derived from error.failureType on the parent side.

Since #34009 JSC shares mimalloc and adds heap noise on aarch64; main
widened the leak-check bound from 10 to 20 in #34686. This branch's copy
predates that and failed the ubuntu-25.04-aarch64 lane at delta 13.

Subject: [PATCH 053/174] node:test: uninstall attribution listeners on
 in-process restore; unconditional awaitSuiteBuilds; Error.isError in jsToYaml

- The uncaughtException/unhandledRejection listeners are now named and removed in restoreAfterInProcessRun() (when they were not already installed before the run), so a post-run uncaught in the caller hits the runtime's default print+exit-1 instead of being silently swallowed by a listener that returns. The earlier runEventsEnabled() gate is dropped.

- runFilesInProcess awaits suite builds unconditionally so a late it.only() inside an async describe is visible to the only-scan; the helper is a no-op with no pending builds.

- jsToYaml uses Error.isError() and util.types.isDate() instead of instanceof, matching node's tap.js and the sibling Error.isError checks in test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 054/174] node:test: resolve all --test reporters before
 piping; per-file wrapper testId from the shared counter

- The --test eval driver resolves every reporter (Promise.all) before any stream.pipe, so a custom reporter's await import() cannot race runFiles' first events draining to an earlier-piped copy only. Twin of the runStandalone attachment fix.

- runOneFile's file-wrapper node takes testId from ++runTestIdCounter (matching the runFilesInProcess failed-import twin) instead of hardcoding 1 for every file.

Subject: [PATCH 055/174] test: take main's socket-end-drain fix (#34678)

This branch's last main merge landed between #34356 (which added the test
with a close wait built on events.once, rejecting on the client's macOS
EPIPE) and #34678 (which fixed it). Adopt main's copy; the branch never
modified this file.

Subject: [PATCH 056/174] node:test: --test driver writes exitCode only on
 failure; directive-only suite emits test:plan

- The eval driver no longer writes process.exitCode = 0 on success, so an earlier exitCode = 1 (a late uncaught attributed at attributeProcessError's finished-test branch under isolation:'none', or a reporter-destination error) is not overwritten. --test-force-exit reads process.exitCode ?? 0. Matches runStandalone's write-only-on-failure shape.

- reportDirectiveOnlyNode emits the suite's test:plan {count: 0} between test:complete and start, matching maybeCompleteSuite and reportCancelledNode, so a describe.skip carries its nested 1..0 TAP line.

Subject: [PATCH 057/174] node:test: resolve reporters before run(); renumber
 test:complete at nesting 0; emit isolation:'none' root plan directly

- The eval driver resolves every reporter before run() (so a failed import exits 7 before any child spawns) and passes an AbortController as runOptions.signal that it aborts before a mid-stream process.exit(7), so runFiles' onInterrupt kills the current child.

- republishChildEvent peeks counts.topLevel + 1 for a nesting-0 test:complete so it carries the same parent-cumulative testNumber as its verdict.

- runFilesInProcess emits the root test:plan via reporter.emitMessage directly so it carries no data.file, matching runFiles and the adjacent test:summary (the sink stamped the stale activeRunFile on it).

Subject: [PATCH 058/174] node:test: preserve evaluation-time reporter errors;
 standalone reporter arity + own-property lookup

- resolveReporter only rewraps a ResolveMessage (the case the comment targets); an evaluation-time throw from the reporter module rethrows verbatim so its real stack and name reach util.inspect.

- attachStandaloneReporters applies the three-branch arity check (ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE on mismatch) and gates the builtin lookup on Object.hasOwn so --test-reporter=toString falls through to the import path instead of resolving Object.prototype.toString.

Subject: [PATCH 059/174] node:test: fail the run on a suite-only test:fail;
 file-wrapper testNumber from fileCounts.topLevel; standalone reporter arity
 exit(1)

- makeRunCounts tracks failedSuites and a shared runSucceeded() folds it into every success predicate (runFiles, runOneFile's per-file summary, runFilesInProcess, runStandalone's test:summary and exitCode), mirroring node's harness.success = false for a non-skip/non-todo failed suite. A standalone describe that throws with no children, or an expectFailure suite whose inherited children all pass, now exits 1.

- runOneFile's file-wrapper test:complete/test:fail take testNumber from fileCounts.topLevel (already bumped for the fileFailed case) instead of hardcoding 1.

- attachStandaloneReporters arity mismatch now process.exit(1)s like the eval-driver twin and node's parseCommandLine, so tests do not run with no reporter attached.

Subject: [PATCH 060/174] node:test: guard jsToYaml assertion recursion; wrap
 failed-import error; statSync catches only ENOENT

- jsToYaml gates the errExpected/errActual recursion on !seen.has() so a self-referential thrown Error (e.expected = e) does not stack-overflow the tap generator.

- runFilesInProcess's failed-import catch wraps the raw rejection via wrapTestError so details.error is always an ERR_TEST_FAILURE, matching the sibling emitters and node's FileTest.

- createTestFileList's literal-path stat catch rethrows non-ENOENT errors so an EACCES/ELOOP surfaces instead of reporting 'Could not find'.

Subject: [PATCH 062/174] run_command: merge positionals into passthrough in
 exec_as_if_node's eval branch

node --test file.test.js (bun symlinked as node) boots the eval driver through exec_as_if_node, whose eval branch did not merge ctx.positionals into ctx.passthrough (exec_eval does), so the first positional was dropped from process.argv and the eval driver silently fell back to default-glob discovery in cwd. Also fixes the pre-existing node -e '...' arg divergence (node -e '...' foo bar now sees ['foo','bar'] not ['bar']).

attachStandaloneReporters wraps the reporter constructor in try/catch matching the sibling import and type-validation branches, so a throwing custom reporter class surfaces as console.error + exitCode=1 instead of an unhandled rejection from the beforeExit callback.

Subject: [PATCH 063/174] run_command: delegate exec_as_if_node's eval branch
 to exec_eval; attachStandaloneReporters: use $ERR_* builders

- exec_as_if_node's eval branch now returns Self::exec_eval(ctx) instead of duplicating its body (the 0afc5fbe fix made them byte-identical).

- The two attachStandaloneReporters error sites use $ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE / $ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE like the rest of the file, which also gets node's TypeError [ERR_...] name formatting and util.inspect on the Received value.

Subject: [PATCH 064/174] node:test: use the captured callerRoot throughout
 runFilesInProcess

The snapshot/clear runs on callerRoot captured synchronously before the first await, so the three later re-fetches (started=true, executeStandaloneQueue, restoreAfterInProcessRun) must target the same reference: under bun test getRootNode() returns a fresh per-file node once fileGeneration advances, so a fire-and-forget run that straddles the file boundary would restore file N's hooks/reportedCount onto file N+1's root.

Matches node's root Test.postRun and runStandaloneEntry's suite-level setupFailed path: a throwing root before() now emits cancelledByParent for each declared test with a proper 1..N plan instead of dropping them with 'tests 0'. Exit code was already 1.

 options.skip/todo in effectiveMode

(mode === 'only' ? undefined : mode) ?? (options.skip ? 'skip' : ...) so test.only('x', {skip:true}) and test('x', {only:true, skip:true}) agree; the previous short-circuit meant the describe.only form ran the body then cancelled declared children and exited 1 where node exits 0.

 onto subtestChain

The execution-phase skip arms in addTest/addSuite now chain reportDirectiveOnlyNode onto runningNode.subtestChain so a skipped inline t.test/t.describe reports at its queue slot instead of synchronously at declaration, keeping TAP numbering in declaration order alongside its non-skip siblings.

Subject: [PATCH 072/174] node:test: widen process-error attribution to cover
 beforeEach/afterEach/after [allow size]

A detached rejection or setTimeout-throw inside a hook (during its own
await) surfaced as a process-level unhandledRejection with no execEntry
on the stack for a top-level test, which hit the fatal process.exit(1)
path and skipped the in-flight test's verdict, later tests, and the
reporter flush. Push the execEntry before beforeEach and pop it after
the after-hook loop so the hook window is covered; when the entry's body
has already settled, print + exitCode=1 and continue instead of
hard-exiting.

[allow size] carries forward fb017b74cf: binary growth is the
node:test/reporters + --test CLI mode surface, already approved.

Subject: [PATCH 074/174] node:test: hoist arrows and anonymous callbacks into
 named functions

Per the repo's builtin-module conventions: every arrow/anonymous function in
test.ts, node_test.ts and test.reporters.ts becomes a hoisted named function
(promise executors, timer/abort handlers, suite build thunks, hook runners,
event handlers, array predicates), with .bind for the this-capturing mock
accessor and the directive-skip chain steps, and kDefaultFunction reused for
swallow-noops. The module header now pins the mirrored Node v26.3.0 sources.
No behavior change intended; node-test suite 48/0.

Subject: [PATCH 076/174] node:test: route t.diagnostic() through the reporter
 stream; emit root test:plan unconditionally [allow size]

TestContext/SuiteContext diagnostic() were still bare console.log while
every other per-test signal goes through emitRunChildEvent; user
diagnostics were lost from --test-reporter-destination and never reached
the run() TestsStream. Route through emitRunChildEvent with
{nesting, message, level:'info'} like node; fall back to stdout only
under bun:test.

Also emit the root test:plan unconditionally at runFiles,
runFilesInProcess, and runStandalone so an empty run({files:[]}) yields
a count:0 plan like node's root Test.postRun(). The leaf-test subtest
plan gate stays.

Subject: [PATCH 077/174] node:test: use presence-based todo detection for
 inline t.test ownTodo [allow size]

The TestNode constructor moved to presence-based todo detection (any
non-undefined, non-false value is a directive, including ''), but
addTest's execution-phase subtest arm still computed ownTodo with
'!!options.todo'. For t.test('sub', {todo: ''}, () => { throw ... })
the child reported as todo while the parent still got failedSubtests++
and emitted subtestsFailed. Align ownTodo with the constructor's
predicate so both agree and the parent passes like node.

Subject: [PATCH 078/174] node:test: do not leak the run-child stdout protocol
 in the standalone collection window [allow size]

emitContextDiagnostic gated on runEventsEnabled() (= runChildReporterEnabled
|| standaloneActive), but standaloneActive latches from the first it()
registration while standaloneSink is still null until runStandalone runs on
beforeExit. A SuiteContext.diagnostic() inside a describe body hit
emitRunChildEvent with no sink and wrote the NUL-prefixed protocol line to
the user's stdout.

Gate emitContextDiagnostic on runChildReporterEnabled || standaloneSink !==
null so the collection window falls through to console.log, and harden
emitRunChildEvent to drop (not protocol-write) when no run() parent is
listening.

Subject: [PATCH 079/174] node:test: recurse pruneToOnly into an only-marked
 suite with only-marked descendants [allow size]

pruneToOnly short-circuited on entry.node.onlyFlag and pushed the suite
as-is, so describe.only with a nested it.only ran every sibling too.
Node's rule: an only suite keeps all children unless it has descendants
with only set, in which case only those run. Recurse when the only-marked
suite has only-marked descendants so the inner .only narrows further.

Subject: [PATCH 081/174] node:test: stamp suite startedAtMs before its first
 child runs; junit: presence-check comment nodes [allow size]

A suite's startedAtMs was only written by reportStartChain, which first
runs after the first child's body finishes, so maybeCompleteSuite's
duration excluded before-hooks and the entire first child. Stamp the
suite at the start of runStandaloneEntry's suite branch (standalone and
isolation:none) and at the top of executeTestNode by walking ancestors
(run-child path); reportStartChain now uses ||= so it does not overwrite.

junit's treeToXML used truthy 'if (comment)' so t.diagnostic('') fell
through to Object.entries(undefined) and errored the stream. Gate on
comment !== undefined (node's upstream has the same truthy check and
crashes too; this makes bun robust without diverging on valid input).

Subject: [PATCH 083/174] node:test: account suite hook failures in the
 run-child verdict
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Run-child suites settled at collection time, so the verdict emitted
when the last child reported: a failing after() never reached the
suite (it passed, only the file node failed) and a failing before()
did not cancel the children. Defer the settle to a bun:test afterAll
registered behind the suite's own hooks, attribute hook failures to
the suite, and cancel declared children when before() fails —
matching the standalone twin's order. Hook failures now carry node's
hookFailed failureType in both isolation modes.

Subject: [PATCH 091/174] node:test: stamp todoFlag on describe.todo suites at
 collection time

When describe.todo(name, fn) is called at collection time (not inside a
running test), mode carries the todo directive but options is empty, so
the TestNode constructor left suiteNode.todoFlag false. Under a run()
child that registers the suite as a plain describe so its body executes,
children then failed to inherit the todo directive and a throwing child
failed the run instead of being counted as todo.

Mirror the execution-phase branch and addTest's equivalent stamp: set
suiteNode.todoFlag = true when the effective mode is todo.

 run-child events [allow size]

The base branch skipped well-formed-but-wrong-shape JSON (null event,
missing/non-object data) before calling republishChildEvent; this PR had
dropped it. Child stdout is user-controlled, so a test body writing the
NUL-prefixed marker plus e.g. '{"type":"x"}' would throw at
Object.setPrototypeOf(undefined, null) and destroy the run stream.
Restore the one-line guard.

 erroring the run stream

A user test that writes the run-event marker followed by non-object JSON
(e.g. null or a dataless event) made the parent throw while republishing,
rejecting runOneFile and destroying the whole run stream. Restore the
shape guard so unparseable-but-marked lines are ignored like the base
branch did.

Subject: [PATCH 096/174] node:test: skip nested suite before/after in
 run-child mode when an ancestor's before() failed [allow size]

onHookFailed swallows an outer suite's before() failure from bun:test so
the suite owns the verdict, which means bun:test descends into nested
describes and runs their runBeforeAllHook/runAfterAllHook. Add an
execution-time hasHookFailedAncestorSuite(owner) guard at the top of both
so nested hooks are skipped like the standalone twin and node. The
owning suite's OWN after() still runs (the walk starts from owner.parent).

Subject: [PATCH 097/174] node:test: skip-wins for .todo + {skip}, preserve
 --todo verdict under inherited todo, and guard run() child proc

Three sibling follow-ups:

- effectiveMode now checks options.skip independently of the .todo()/.skip()
  method spelling, so describe.todo(name, {skip:true}, fn) no longer runs its
  body (matches the execution-phase check and Node's merge-then-skip-first).

- createTopLevelTestRunner snapshots todoFlag before the body runs and only
  overrides bun:test's verdict to todo when the flag flipped at runtime or
  under a run() child. Restores the FailBecauseTodoPassed verdict under
  bun test --todo for a plain passing child inside describe.todo that the
  todoFlag inheritance change had suppressed.

- runOneFile forwards run({signal}) to Bun.spawn and wraps the stdout/stderr
  loops in try/finally so a listener that throws into the event stream still
  kills the child and settles the stderr drain instead of leaking the process.

Subject: [PATCH 098/174] node:test: match node's run() event fidelity for
 numbering, causes, and cancellation

All expectations verified side-by-side against node v26.3.0:

- nesting-0 pass/fail verdicts renumber cumulatively across every file in
  the run; test:complete keeps the child's per-file number, and a file's
  completion carries its ordinal in the run
- a suite under a failed before() reports cancelledByParent with zero
  duration instead of subtestsFailed
- a throwing (or rejecting) describe body attributes testCodeFailure to
  the suite and cancels its declared children instead of failing the file
- hook failures wrap in a fresh ERR_TEST_FAILURE with node's fixed
  'failed running <kind> hook' message, keeping the thrown error on cause
- a non-Error cause crosses the process boundary by value (cause: 42
  stays a number); rebuilt errors keep name non-enumerable
- test:summary counts carry node's exact key set (failedSuites stays
  port-internal)
- the junit reporter escapes attribute quotes before the & pass, matching
  node's double-escaped &amp;quot; byte for byte

Subject: [PATCH 103/174] node:test: also skip later same-suite before() hooks
 once the first fails in run-child mode [allow size]

The runBeforeAllHook guard walked from owner.parent, so a second before()
in the same describe still ran after the first threw (each before() call
registers its own beforeAll). Check owner.hookSetupFailed too, matching
the standalone twin's break in its for-of loop. The after() guard stays
as-is so the failing suite's OWN after still runs for cleanup.

Subject: [PATCH 104/174] node:test: share the run() verdict counter with
 failed imports and bail on the first failing before()

Verified against node v26.3.0:

- isolation:'none': a file that fails to load now takes its testNumber from
  the same counter the republished verdicts use, so a failed import and a
  later file's test number 1 and 2 instead of both claiming 1.

- run-child mode: when a suite declares multiple before() hooks and the
  first throws, the later ones no longer run (node's Suite.run bails on
  the first before-hook error; the standalone twin already did this).
  The suite's own after() still runs.

Also settles the hook-skip guards through a microtask like every other
done path instead of re-entering bun:test's hook driver synchronously,
and splits run() event names on both path separators in the fidelity
tests so they pass on Windows.

- runFiles breaks out of the file loop once opts.signal is aborted so later
  files are not fork+exec'd and reported as spurious testCodeFailure.
- drainStderr gets a synchronous .catch handler so a throwing test:stderr
  listener does not surface as unhandledRejection before the finally block.
- The file-level test:complete is emitted only when no child reported or the
  file itself crashed, matching Node FileTest.#skipReporting(); the per-file
  summary and test:fail gates are unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 108/174] node:test: settle the run-child suite completion
 asynchronously like the other hook wrappers [allow size]

settleSuite (the afterAll that fires noteSuiteCollectionSettled for a
suite in run-child mode) was a zero-arg function that returned
synchronously. On Windows, when it is the last afterAll in a nested
describe, bun:test's hook driver does not advance to the outer describe's
afterAll, so the child process never exits and any run({files:[f]}) with
a nested describe hangs. Give settleSuite a done parameter and resolve it
through a microtask, matching the runBeforeAllHook/runAfterAllHook guards.

Verified on windows-aarch64: a bare 'describe outer > describe inner > it'
fixture under NODE_TEST_CONTEXT=child-v8 now exits instead of hanging, and
node-test.test.ts is 63/0 (1 skip for the symlink test).

Subject: [PATCH 113/174] node:test run(): gate concurrency, emit file-level
 pass for zero-test files, drop dead directive fall-through

- run({ concurrency }) now throws not-implemented instead of being silently
  ignored; timeout joins testTagFilters in the deliberate-exception comment
  since node's own test-runner-filetest-location.js passes it.
- A file that registers zero tests and exits 0 now gets a file-level test:pass
  and counts as tests=1/passed=1 (Node's FileTest.report() when #skipReporting
  is false), mirroring the fileFailed branch's test:fail + tests/failed counts.
  reportedChildren is captured before those increments so it reflects only the
  child-reported count.
- The addTest collection-phase fall-through reportDirectiveOnlyNode call and
  its stale comment are removed: under runChildReporterEnabled both skip and
  todo already early-return above it, and outside a run() child the function
  is a no-op. The always-true !node.skipped guard is dropped for the same
  skip-wins reason.

Subject: [PATCH 114/174] node:test: zero-test run() files report a file-level
 pass like node

Verified against node v26.3.0: a file that registers no tests and exits 0
emits complete then start/pass (counted tests=1/passed=1) and no per-file
summary. Restores the file-failed error construction the merge resolution
dropped, and keeps run({ concurrency }) and run({ forceExit }) accepted:
the --test CLI driver always passes them like node's runner, and node's
own filetest-location/force-exit tests exercise them.

 non-JSON-safe causes [allow size]

A BigInt, circular-object, or Symbol .cause reached JSON.stringify verbatim,
which throws; the bare catch in emitRunChildEvent then dropped the whole
test:complete/test:fail event over the process-isolation pipe, leaving a
dangling '# Subtest:' with no verdict line. Whitelist null/string/number/
boolean (as the sibling kSerializedErrorExtras loop does) and carry the
util.inspect() string for anything else so the event survives.

Subject: [PATCH 117/174] node:test: keep run() events flowing when a cause
 cannot cross the JSON pipe

A test throwing an error whose cause is a BigInt, a cyclic object, a
symbol, or a function made JSON.stringify throw inside the run-child
event writer, silently dropping the test's complete/fail lines: the
parent then reported a single file-level failure with undercounted
tests (node v26.3.0 reports all three tests via its v8 serializer).

BigInt causes are re-tagged in the envelope and restored as real
bigints in the parent; values JSON structurally cannot encode degrade
to their util.inspect string instead of poisoning the event line.

 completion and count the file node before the per-file summary

- scheduleSuiteSubtest's inline-suite completion event now carries
  todo: suite.todoFlag ? (suite.message ?? true) : undefined, matching
  reportNodeToRunParent and reportDirectiveOnlyNode.
- runOneFile counts the file node (tests/passed or tests/failed) before
  emitting the per-file test:summary so a synchronous listener sees the same
  totals as the run-level summary, and the summary's counts are spread so the
  emitted object is not mutated after emission.

 onto subtestChain

A skipped inline subtest or suite declared after a non-skip async sibling
was emitting its directive synchronously at the t.test() call site while the
earlier sibling only emits after scheduleSubtest drains the chain, so under
a run() child the stream saw them out of declaration order. Chain the emit
onto runningNode.subtestChain at both addTest and addSuite, matching the
collection-phase ordering fix already in place.

Subject: [PATCH 123/174] node:test: wrap every hook failure at runHook and
 carry non-finite numbers over the pipe
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Verified against node v26.3.0:

- beforeEach/afterEach and test-level after() failures now report
  failureType hookFailed with node's fixed 'failed running <kind> hook'
  message. The wrap moves into runHook itself (the layer node wraps at)
  with a kind parameter, replacing the four per-site wraps; every other
  catch site attributes the wrapper as-is.

- NaN and ±Infinity survive process-isolation run(): JSON silently emits
  null for them, so causes and AssertionError extras (actual/expected/
  diff) are re-tagged in the envelope and revived as real numbers in the
  parent, like the BigInt handling.

Also drops the redundant trailing 30s per-test timeouts from the new
concurrent tests: the file default (30s debug / 10s release) already
covers them, and the override silently widened release to 30s.

Subject: [PATCH 124/174] node:test: wrap hook failures at runHook; gate
 NaN/Infinity on the JSON pipe; drop redundant per-test timeouts [allow size]

runHook now threads the hook kind and throws wrapHookError(err, kind) so
every hook path (beforeEach/afterEach/test-level after/root hooks/inline
suite before+after) reports failureType 'hookFailed' with node's fixed
message, not testCodeFailure. The four per-site wrapHookError calls are
dropped.

serializeRunCause / kSerializedErrorExtras now share
isJsonRoundTripPrimitive, which gates numbers on Number.isFinite so NaN
and Infinity are carried as their inspect() string instead of JSON
silently emitting null.

Drop the trailing 30_000 per-test timeouts from the new concurrent tests;
the file-level setDefaultTimeout(isDebug ? 30_000 : 10_000) governs.

Subject: [PATCH 126/174] node:test run(): drop dead subtestsFailed branch in
 runOneFile

The #skipReporting gate means reportFileNode is always false when a child
reported a failure (failed > 0 implies tests > 0 implies reportedChildren > 0,
and failed > 0 implies !fileFailed), so the subtestsFailed error assignment
was never observed and passed:!fileFailed && !subtestsFailed reduced to
passed:!fileFailed inside the gate.

still crossed as JSON null. Tag NaN/Infinity at both serialization sites
so the parent-side revival actually receives the envelope.

Subject: [PATCH 128/174] node:test: carry object assertion extras over the
 run() pipe and drop dead directive emits

- deepStrictEqual's object actual/expected/diff now cross process
  isolation by value when JSON can carry them (node's v8 serializer
  hands the parent real objects; verified on v26.3.0), degrading to
  the inspected string for cycles/symbols instead of dropping the
  field. The non-finite re-tag check is tightened so a user object
  passing through the same slot cannot be mistaken for the envelope.

- The registration-time reportDirectiveOnlyNode calls in addTest and
  addSuite (and the suiteReported write) were provably dead: only
  reachable when neither run-child nor standalone mode is active, where
  runEventsEnabled() is false and the call is a guaranteed no-op.

Subject: [PATCH 129/174] node:test: inspect() fallback for object-valued error
 extras on the pipe; drop dead plain-bun:test directive emits [allow size]

kSerializedErrorExtras now carries object actual/expected via util.inspect()
so the tap reporter's assertion-like block renders under process isolation
(deepStrictEqual({a:1}, {a:2}) no longer loses expected/actual over the
pipe), matching the sibling serializeRunCause.

Delete the reportDirectiveOnlyNode(node, effectiveMode) calls in the
plain-bun:test skip/todo branches of addTest and addSuite: they are only
reached when !inStandaloneMode() && !runChildReporterEnabled, which makes
runEventsEnabled() false and the call a guaranteed no-op.

Subject: [PATCH 130/174] node:test: emit runStandalone's root plan direct;
 defer failing-describe-body settle to execution turn in run-child mode [allow
 size]

runStandalone's root test:plan now emits via stream.emitMessage (no
data.file), matching runFiles/runFilesInProcess and the adjacent summary.

wrappedSuiteBuilder's sync-throw catch and async-reject handler now record
the failure and defer the settle via settleSuiteAfterHooks (registered
before awaiting so it lands in the describe's scope either way) when the
error is swallowed from bun:test, so a zero-child throwing describe emits
at its execution turn in declaration order instead of at collection time.

Subject: [PATCH 131/174] node:test: declaration-order events for throwing
 describe bodies, driver-owned signals, direct root plan

Verified against node v26.3.0:

- A describe body that throws after an earlier sibling test now settles
  through the deferred afterAll in run-child mode, so its event set keeps
  declaration order (node: ok 1 - a, not ok 2 - b; settling at collection
  time emitted the suite first). Both the sync-throw and rejecting-async
  arms; advisory todo suites settle the same way without cancelling.

- SIGINT/SIGTERM move from runFiles to the --test CLI driver, routed
  through the run's abort signal: node's harness installs process signal
  handlers only under the test runner, so a programmatic run() no longer
  suppresses default Ctrl+C termination.

- runStandalone's root test:plan emits directly instead of through the
  sink, matching the runFiles/in-process arms (the sink stamps data.file
  on what is a run-level event).

Subject: [PATCH 132/174] node:test run(): report remaining files as
 cancelledByParent on abort; give the largest fixture drivers headroom

- runFiles now emits enqueue/dequeue/complete/fail with failureType
  cancelledByParent for each file the abort skipped and counts them in
  cancelled, so an aborted run reports success:false and the remaining
  files appear on the stream instead of vanishing (matches Node's
  FileTest cancellation). The run-level summary checks cancelled too.
- node-test.test.ts: the three drivers that spawn 01-harness/02-hooks
  run concurrently with a 30s ceiling; a debug+ASAN bun test child now
  takes several seconds to start, which pushed them past the 5s default
  after merging main.

Subject: [PATCH 133/174] node:test: emit abort-skipped file verdicts only for
 a pre-aborted signal

A mid-run abort (node's FAIL_FAST reporter emits SIGINT after the first
failure) must not append testAborted verdicts for the files it skipped:
node's teardown ends the stream without them, and its own
test-runner-error-reporter.js counts exactly one failure. A signal
already aborted at run() time still reports every file as testAborted
(observed on v26.3.0).

Subject: [PATCH 138/174] test runner: suppress the bail notice in node:test
 run() children

The --bail branch printed 'Bailed out after N failures' unconditionally
while its sibling print_summary() self-gates; a run() child inheriting
--bail via argv leaked the notice into the parent's test:stderr stream.
Gated like the other reporter output in this file; the early exit and
junit hook are unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 141/174] node:test: make preAborted and mid-run interrupt
 paths mutually exclusive; gate nonFinite revival on the three exact envelope
 strings [allow size]

A pre-aborted signal set state.interrupted via onInterrupt(), so both the
per-file reportAbortedFile loop AND the mid-run test:interrupted block
fired, adding a spurious counts.failed with no matching non-cancelled
test:fail and an empty test:interrupted. Make them else-if.

reviveSerializedValue matched any single-key {nonFinite: <string>} user
object (the serializer's __proto__:null does not survive JSON). Gate on
'NaN'/'Infinity'/'-Infinity' exactly so a user's own {nonFinite: 'x'}
actual/expected is not revived as Number('x').

Subject: [PATCH 143/174] node:test: use a collision-free _bunTag envelope for
 non-primitive error extras over the JSON pipe [allow size]

serializeExtraValue now wraps every non-primitive extras value (and the
non-finite-number tag) in a {_bunTag, v} envelope; reviveSerializedValue
unwraps by tag. Primitives still cross bare. A user's own
{nonFinite: 'NaN'} actual/expected now round-trips unchanged since user
objects are always wrapped before hitting the reviver.

Subject: [PATCH 146/174] node:test: run a run-child suite's after() hooks from
 its settleSuite so post-await registration cannot false-pass [allow size]

settleSuiteAfterHooks registers its bun:test afterAll before an async
describe body's continuation, so a post-await after() would land behind
settleSuite in FIFO order: the suite emitted test:pass first, then the
hook threw and onHookFailed swallowed it via done(), and the run reported
success:true where node reports hookFailed.

Route run-child collection-suite after() onto owner.hooks.after (like the
standalone twin) and have settleSuite run those hooks before settling, so
registration order relative to settleSuite does not matter. The remaining
runAfterAllHook path is for root/plain-bun:test only.

Subject: [PATCH 163/174] node:test: isolation 'none' ignores the run signal
 for scheduling like node
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Observed on node v26.3.0 with side-effect probes: under isolation 'none'
both a pre-aborted signal and a mid-run abort leave every file running to
a normal verdict and the run summary succeeds — the in-process runner
never consults the signal for scheduling. Drops the loop break and the
per-file testAborted/interrupted reporting that diverged from that (only
process isolation reports testAborted for skipped files).

Ctrl+C for --test --test-isolation=none moves to the CLI driver, which
exits 1 promptly on SIGINT — node's harness does the same (measured ~5ms
after signal).

The previous commit dropped the signal local but executeStandaloneQueue
still received it, throwing ReferenceError for every isolation:'none'
run. Remove the parameter and the per-entry/per-child abort checks it
fed — all scheduling paths node's in-process runner does not have.

These asserted that aborting between in-process entries stops the run
(second test skipped, test:interrupted, success:false). Real node
v26.3.0, run with the identical fixtures and side-effect probes, does
the opposite on every field: both tests pass, the second body executes,
no interruption, and the summary succeeds — the in-process runner never
consults the run signal for scheduling.
