AsyncLocalStorage: evaluate dynamically imported modules under the importer's store (WebKit pin bump)

[robobun]

Problem

• A module loaded with import() from inside AsyncLocalStorage.run() evaluates with no store: store.getStore() is undefined in the imported module's top-level code, where Node prints the active store. Fixes AsyncLocalStorage store is lost during dynamic import() module evaluation #32693.
• Cause is in the engine: import() starts its load synchronously, but JSC links and evaluates the graph from the module loader's internal microtasks (ModuleLoadTopSettled → DynamicImportLoadSettled → module->evaluate()), and those carried no async context, so m_asyncContextData slot 0 has been reset by the time the body runs. There is no userland workaround (enterWith, snapshot(), bind() all go through the same path).

Fix

• JSC: evaluate dynamically imported modules under the importer's async context WebKit#274 (head e1601144, two commits on top of c6cfe90c, the WebKit commit main pins today): JSModuleLoader::loadModule captures the current context when ModuleLoadFlag::Dynamic is set, carries it on ModuleLoadingContext → ModuleLoaderPayload (next to the existing referrerAsyncOrder), and dynamicImportLoadSettled installs it with AsyncContextSwapScope around module->evaluate() (and around the eager async-dependency evaluation for import.defer()). A second commit snapshots the context in CyclicModuleRecord::executeAsync and reinstalls it in the AsyncModuleExecutionDone microtask, so a module whose body is held back until a top-level-await dependency settles gets the store too.
• This PR points WEBKIT_VERSION at that PR's preview build, autobuild-preview-pr-274-e1601144, and adds describe("dynamic import() module evaluation") to test/js/node/async_hooks/AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts: the issue's repro as a subprocess, plus in-process cases for a fresh static dependency, top-level await in the module and in a dependency, three concurrent import()s under distinct stores, a module that throws while evaluating, and (as a control) an import() made with no store.
• Because the branch is based on the exact commit main already pins, the engine delta in this PR is only the two WebKit commits (seven files, all under USE(BUN_JSC_ADDITIONS)).
• Before merging: JSC: evaluate dynamically imported modules under the importer's async context WebKit#274 has to land first and WEBKIT_VERSION be repointed at the resulting main sha; preview releases are deleted when the WebKit PR merges.
• Verified:
  • Fail-before: the test file as rebased, run with a debug+ASAN build of main's engine (e2f13c6aa1, one unrelated commit before the current pin): 7 fail, 1 pass (the control).
  • Full CI on the previous round of this PR (a0fe46023b: same tests, pinned to the same two commits on 0cbb4a19, the pin main had at the time): build 99632 passed, 179/179 jobs. The current round only moves the base to c6cfe90c, which main adopted in Bump WebKit: URL parser table-lookup SIMD + host:port fast path #39368 (one WTF URLParser perf commit); the engine files are unchanged.
  • bun bd test test/js/node/async_hooks/AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts with a debug+ASAN bun built against the previous round's preview tarball (autobuild-preview-pr-274-c5edacf3: the same two commits on f0f60fd2, the pin main had at the time) on the rebased test file: 55 pass, 0 fail; the related suites listed below against the same build: 199 pass, 0 fail. The current preview only moves the base to 0cbb4a19, which main itself adopted in Bump WebKit: faster URL parser; don't re-run ICU on parser-produced punycode #39273; the seven engine files are unchanged.
  • Same file against a build:local build of the WebKit branch (debug, ASAN, assertions on; the seven engine files are byte-identical to the current head): 55 pass, 0 fail; with only the first WebKit commit applied, the top-level-await-dependency case fails with store: undefined, which is what the second commit fixes.
  • Against the same build: all of test/js/node/async_hooks/, test/js/bun/resolve/{concurrent-dynamic-import,dynamic-import-tla-cycle,import-defer,require-esm-transitive-tla,require-esm-microtask-order,require-esm-gc-roots,esModule,import-query}.test.ts, and regression tests 32178 / 27428 / 18595 / 26286: 199 pass, 0 fail.
  • 60 concurrent import()s, each under its own store object and each pulling in a top-level-await dependency plus a synchronous sibling, under BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1: 0 mismatches, no assertion failures (60/60 mismatch on the current pin).
• The fix lives in scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts, not src/, so a src/-stashing fail-before check builds the new engine in both arms; the fail-before evidence is the first bullet above.

Background

• Bun's AsyncLocalStorage is backed by one slot on the global object (m_asyncContextData, field 0) that holds the currently active context. run() sets it for the duration of the callback; every place the engine defers work (promise reactions, await resumption, timers) snapshots the slot when the work is scheduled and reinstalls it when the work runs. AsyncContextSwapScope is the RAII helper that does the install/restore.
• Internal microtasks are JSC's C++ replacements for the spec's abstract closures (promise jobs that run engine code rather than a JS function); the module loader is built out of them. They did not snapshot the slot, which is why everything in the import() pipeline lost the context.
• ModuleLoaderPayload is the host-defined object JSC threads through a dynamic import's load steps; carrying the captured context on it is how the value reaches the point where the graph is evaluated.
• Top-level await: a module with TLA is started with ExecuteAsyncModule, and modules that depend on it are executed later by AsyncModuleExecutionFulfilled when it settles, from the AsyncModuleExecutionDone microtask. That is the path the second WebKit commit covers.

Walkthrough

The WebKit version pin now targets an autobuild preview. The AsyncLocalStorage tests add dynamic import() coverage for context propagation through module evaluation, dependencies, top-level await, concurrent imports, errors, and inactive stores.

Changes

AsyncLocalStorage dynamic import support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
WebKit preview build pin scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts	Updates WEBKIT_VERSION to autobuild-preview-pr-274-510735dd and updates its comment.
Dynamic import context coverage test/js/node/async_hooks/AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts	Adds temporary-directory and URL utilities, then tests context propagation and restoration across dynamic imports, dependencies, top-level await, concurrency, failures, and inactive stores.

Status: rebased onto current main and pushed (9a062f76b5); the diff is the tests plus the WEBKIT_VERSION pin, pointing at autobuild-preview-pr-274-e1601144, the preview of oven-sh/WebKit#274 built on c6cfe90c (the engine main pins today), so the engine delta is just the two fix commits. The previous round (same fix on 0cbb4a19) passed full CI: build 99632, 179/179 jobs. Merge order: #274 lands, then the pin here is repointed at the merged sha.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs in the test additions. Because this is a WebKit engine pin bump — the actual fix lives in oven-sh/WebKit#274 and isn't reviewable from this diff — and the pin currently points at a preview build that the description says must be repointed to a merged main sha before landing, a human should sign off on the merge.

What was reviewed:

• The new describe("dynamic import() module evaluation") block: each test uses its own tempDir so module registry entries are fresh, subprocess pipes are drained concurrently, and the control test (no active store) guards against a fix that leaks context.
• Checked that prebuiltUrl/prebuiltDestDir in webkit.ts already handle autobuild--prefixed version strings, so the preview tag resolves correctly.
• The throw-during-evaluation test's avoidance of expect().rejects inside run() is sound — the comment explains why.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes two files: scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts (repoints WEBKIT_VERSION from sha 7b763944… to preview tag autobuild-preview-pr-274-3685198c) and test/js/node/async_hooks/AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts (adds an 8-test describe block covering dynamic import() under an active AsyncLocalStorage store). The behavioral fix itself — capturing async context in JSModuleLoader::loadModule and reinstalling it in dynamicImportLoadSettled / AsyncModuleExecutionDone — lives entirely in oven-sh/WebKit#274 and is not part of this diff.

Security risks

None identified. The test additions are hermetic (temp directories, subprocess with bunEnv, no network). The WebKit pin change is a dependency bump; any security implications would come from the WebKit-side commits, which are out of scope for this diff.

Level of scrutiny

High. WEBKIT_VERSION selects the JavaScriptCore build that ships in every Bun binary — this is the single most load-bearing dependency in the project. The bump also pulls in oven-sh/WebKit#410 (InternalFieldTuple cast by JSType) and four build-infra commits (#411–#414) between the old pin and the new base, none of which are visible here. A maintainer needs to confirm the WebKit PR has merged, repoint the pin at the resulting main sha (preview releases are deleted on merge, per the description), and see CI green across all platforms — the description notes the Linux preview artifacts are currently failing to build.

Other factors

The tests themselves are well-constructed: per-test tempDir ensures each import() evaluates a fresh module body, the subprocess repro drains stdout/stderr/exited concurrently, the concurrent-imports case uses distinct files under distinct stores, the TLA-dependency case exercises the second WebKit commit specifically, and the no-store control guards against over-propagation. I confirmed prebuiltUrl and prebuiltDestDir already special-case the autobuild- prefix, so the non-sha version string won't be truncated or double-prefixed. No issues found in what's reviewable here, but the PR is explicitly not merge-ready as-is by its own description.

[robobun]

Confirming the merge order the review describes: oven-sh/WebKit#274 lands first, then WEBKIT_VERSION here moves from the preview tag to the resulting main sha (a one-line change I will push as soon as it merges), then CI runs against that. Right now the preview tag itself is not published because oven-sh/WebKit's Linux docker build jobs are failing repo-wide (four re-runs, details in the status comment above and on the WebKit PR), which is why every lane in build 93598 stops at fetch WebKit (prebuilt). The tests are unaffected by any of this; they were verified against a local build of the WebKit branch, and seven of the eight fail on the current pin.

[robobun]

Rebased. The only conflict was the WEBKIT_VERSION line, which main has bumped twice since this was opened (to f0f60fd2, then 0cbb4a19 in #39273); the test additions applied cleanly. To keep the engine delta minimal I re-based oven-sh/WebKit#274 on the commit main now pins, 0cbb4a19, so the preview this PR points at is exactly main's engine plus the two fix commits (the seven files they touch are byte-identical to the tree verified earlier). Against the previous round's preview (c5edacf3, on f0f60fd2), bun bd test test/js/node/async_hooks/AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts on the rebased branch gave 55 pass / 0 fail and the related module-loading and async_hooks suites 199 pass / 0 fail, while the same file against main's engine fails 7 of the 8 new cases. I am pushing the 0cbb4a19-based version as soon as its preview tarball (autobuild-preview-pr-274-510735dd) is published, so the build step here does not 404 in the meantime.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs in the diff itself. Deferring to a human because the substantive change is a JSC engine patch in oven-sh/WebKit#274 (not visible here), and the PR as pushed pins an ephemeral autobuild-preview-* tag that the description says must be repointed at the merged main sha before landing.

What was reviewed:

• The eight new dynamic import() tests — each uses its own tempDir so module bodies are fresh registry entries; assertions are exact-value; the throwing-module case avoids .rejects for the stated reason; the control test (no active store) guards against over-propagation.
• prebuiltUrl / prebuiltDestDir in webkit.ts already handle autobuild-* values, so the tag form is accepted by the fetch/cache-key logic.
• Subprocess test drains stdout/stderr/exited concurrently and asserts the combined object.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files: scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts swaps WEBKIT_VERSION from the current main sha to autobuild-preview-pr-274-c5edacf3, and test/js/node/async_hooks/AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts gains a describe("dynamic import() module evaluation") block with eight tests. The behavioral fix — carrying the async context through JSC's module-loader internal microtasks so import()ed module bodies see the importer's AsyncLocalStorage store — lives entirely in oven-sh/WebKit#274 and is not part of this diff.

Security risks

None introduced by the visible diff: it is a version-string change plus additive tests that write only to per-test temp dirs and spawn bunExe() locally. The engine-side change (async-context capture on ModuleLoaderPayload, AsyncContextSwapScope around module->evaluate() and AsyncModuleExecutionDone) is not reviewable here.

Level of scrutiny

High. A WebKit pin bump changes the JS engine for every user, and the specific area — async context propagation through the module loader and TLA completion microtasks — is subtle enough that the PR needed a second WebKit commit to cover the TLA-dependency path. The actual C++ patch (seven files under USE(BUN_JSC_ADDITIONS)) should be reviewed on the WebKit PR by someone who knows that code; this repo's diff alone cannot establish its correctness.

Other factors

• The PR description and author comments explicitly state a merge-order dependency: oven-sh/WebKit#274 must land first and WEBKIT_VERSION must be repointed at the resulting main sha, because preview releases are deleted when the WebKit PR merges. The current pin is therefore intentionally temporary and CI has not been green on it.
• The new tests look solid against the repo's review criteria: fresh tempDir per test avoids module-registry caching; concurrent-imports test uses distinct files under distinct stores; the negative control ("no active store") would catch a fix that leaks the last-seen context; the subprocess repro asserts {stdout, stderr, exitCode} as one object with pipes drained via Promise.all.
• No prior claude[bot] review on this PR.

[robobun]

Thanks, that matches the intended merge order. Note the review was of the c5edacf3-pinned revision; the next push only changes the pin to the 0cbb4a19-based preview (same two engine commits, main's current base) and is otherwise identical.

[robobun]

Pushed the rebase (a0fe46023b): the branch is on current main, the pin conflict is resolved by pointing at autobuild-preview-pr-274-510735dd (oven-sh/WebKit#274 re-based on 0cbb4a19, the engine main pins since #39273; that tarball is published now), and the test additions are unchanged. Description updated with the verification details for this round.

The automated reviews all land on the same point, which is the intended state of this PR: the preview pin is temporary, and the merge order is oven-sh/WebKit#274 first, then a one-line repoint of WEBKIT_VERSION here to the merged sha. Replied on the inline thread accordingly; nothing else was raised.

[robobun]

Main bumped the pin again (#39368, to c6cfe90c), so this conflicts on the same line once more. Two updates:

• The previous round (a0fe46023b, the fix on 0cbb4a19) went through full CI green: build 99632, 179/179 jobs. That is the first complete CI run of the engine change plus these tests.
• I have re-based JSC: evaluate dynamically imported modules under the importer's async context WebKit#274 onto c6cfe90c (head e1601144; 0cbb4a19..c6cfe90c is one WTF URLParser perf commit, the engine files are unchanged) and rebased this branch onto main with the pin resolved to autobuild-preview-pr-274-e1601144. Pushing as soon as that preview is published so the build step does not 404 in between.

[robobun]

Pushed (9a062f76b5): on current main, pinned to autobuild-preview-pr-274-e1601144 (oven-sh/WebKit#274 on c6cfe90c, the engine main pins since #39368), tests unchanged. Description and status comment updated; CI for this round is running.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The Bun-side diff is just tests plus the WEBKIT_VERSION pin, but the behavioral change it ships is the JSC module-loader / async-context work in oven-sh/WebKit#274, which isn't visible here — a maintainer should sign off on the engine side and the final pin swap before this lands.

What was reviewed:

• The eight new tests: each uses its own tempDir so every module is a fresh registry entry; pipes are drained concurrently; the subprocess case asserts the combined {stdout, stderr, exitCode} object.
• Variant coverage: issue repro, static dep, TLA in the module, TLA in a dependency (the AsyncModuleExecutionFulfilled path), three concurrent imports under distinct stores, a throwing module, and a no-store control.
• prebuiltUrl() / prebuiltDestDir() already handle autobuild--prefixed tags, so the preview pin resolves and cache-keys correctly.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files: scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts swaps WEBKIT_VERSION from the merged sha c6cfe90c… to the preview tag autobuild-preview-pr-274-e1601144, and test/js/node/async_hooks/AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts gains a describe("dynamic import() module evaluation") block with eight tests. The fix itself — capturing the async context at the import() call site and reinstalling it around module evaluation and around AsyncModuleExecutionDone — lives entirely in oven-sh/WebKit#274 and is not part of this diff.

Security risks

None in the Bun-side diff. The tests write only to per-test temp directories and spawn bunExe() with bunEnv; no network, no untrusted input parsing. The engine-side change threads a JSValue through the module-loader pipeline, which is a GC-lifetime concern rather than a security one, and is outside this diff.

Level of scrutiny

High. Although the visible diff is small and mechanical, the pin bump pulls in a change to JSC's module loader that alters when and under what async context every dynamically imported module body runs. That is a runtime-wide semantics change on a hot, correctness-critical path, and per the repo's review guidance falls under both Dependencies & vendoring and engine behavior — territory where a maintainer should look at the WebKit-side commits directly. The PR is also explicitly not merge-ready: the description and timeline both say WEBKIT_VERSION must be repointed at the merged main sha once oven-sh/WebKit#274 lands (preview releases are deleted on merge), so a human needs to sequence the two PRs regardless.

Other factors

• Full CI on the previous round (build 99632, same two engine commits on the prior base) passed 179/179; the current push only rebases the WebKit branch onto c6cfe90c, which main adopted in #39368.
• The tests are well-constructed against the repo's rules: tempDir + using, concurrent pipe drains, combined-object assertions, a negative control, and the throwing-module case deliberately avoids expect().rejects inside run() (with a comment explaining why that would make the test vacuous).
• The preview-pin question was already raised and resolved on the thread; I'm not re-raising it. The reason to defer is that the substantive change is engine C++ I cannot review from this diff, not the pin format.
