…f taking a ticket VirtualMachine::ticket() now asserts in release builds too that the VM has not finished its teardown wait (VmHandle::closed), since a ticket issued after the wait is counted by nobody and its completion would be posted onto a loop teardown is about to free. napi_async_work::schedule no longer takes a ticket once script is forbidden. Work queued while the VM is stopping (a complete callback or finalizer released by teardown) is marked cancelled and handed straight to the loop, so complete still gets napi_cancelled without a trip through the pool; work queued once the VM has closed (a finalizer running in the collection that destroys the heap) is refused with napi_cannot_run_js and stays the addon's. Also rewrites three SAFETY comments that still described the removed "pool borrow" model, and adds napi rows to worker-late-completion: the ordinary ticketed path, a re-queue from a complete callback during the wait (exactly one completion crosses the door), and a queue from an experimental addon's finalizer in the final collection (refused), built from a small C fixture against the in-tree N-API headers.

Status: follow-up requested from the #38299 post-merge review (VmHandle.rs and napi_body.rs threads, plus the SAFETY comments in the review body). Reproduced on a debug build of main (9c629a4) with the fixture in this PR: the finalizer row panics in The diff is complete as of 635f560 and ready for review (f0d2cd4 on top is an empty CI retrigger): review feedback folded in (work scheduled through its pointer since CI: build 96147 (same diff) passed 177 of 179 jobs, including this PR's test file on every lane that ran; the only test failures were unrelated ones that passed on retry, and the two macOS 14 aarch64 test jobs expired because that lane had no agents at the time. The retrigger build 96617 never got a build agent during a CI-wide outage (every build job expired before starting, so nothing downstream ran). The diff itself has not changed; it needs one more build once CI is healthy, which a maintainer can start from Buildkite, or I can on request. |

…rk through its pointer A napi complete callback released by teardown can queue another work. That work is now parked and released by the drain that is running instead of being released on the spot inside the complete that queued it, so a chain of such works is released link by link, as it was when each link went through the pool. Outside a drain, a closed queue still releases on arrival. Since complete can delete the work before napi_queue_async_work returns, schedule takes the work as a raw pointer and the caller forms no reference to it. The test asserts the fixture's output in order, which pins the drain order, and the fixture reports unexpected statuses numerically.
A release re-enters the loop through the VM's pointer and, while the drain runs, pushes onto the queue the drain is reading; the extern release call receives nothing derived from the noalias receiver, so go through a laundered pointer, re-escaped after every release, as the other re-entrant loops here do.
… stopped Whether its execute ran depends on the pool reaching it before the worker began stopping; the gate only fixes when the completion arrives. The lines whose outcome the teardown decides are still matched exactly and in order.

I reviewed this PR across four rounds; each finding (recursion depth in the stopping branch, the &mut self protector across enqueue_task, the noalias launder in release_queued_tasks, and the complete first status race) was addressed, and this pass found nothing new. Because it reworks VM-teardown ordering and adds a re-entrant write path through a laundered pointer, a human look at the overall shape would still be worthwhile.
Checked this round: schedule(*mut Self) forms no reference across enqueue_task and its caller no longer does as_mut(); the releasing_tasks drain re-escapes this after each release like the file's other R-2 loops; vm.closed() refusal leaves the work untouched so napi_delete_async_work in the finalizer is a plain free; the re-queue row now pins queued-before-complete order and accepts either first status.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Follow-up to #38299 addressing two review threads: (1) napi_queue_async_work called during/after VM teardown took a ticket nobody waits for (debug panic, release UAF race against loop teardown); (2) three stale SAFETY comments still describing the removed pool-borrow model. Touches VmHandle.rs (release-build assert! on post-close ticket, new closed() accessor), event_loop.rs (releasing_tasks flag so a task enqueued by a release is parked for the same drain rather than released inside the enqueuer, with the drain rewritten through a black_box-laundered pointer), napi_body.rs (schedule now takes *mut Self, branches on VM state: closed → refuse with napi_cannot_run_js; stopping → cancel + enqueue on-thread; open → unchanged), three SAFETY-comment rewrites, a new C napi fixture, and three new test rows.
Security risks
None in the usual sense (no untrusted-input parsing, auth, crypto). The risk class is memory safety at the napi FFI / VM-teardown boundary: an addon's complete can free the work under the schedule call, and the drain loop now depends on observing a re-entrant push. Both were the subject of earlier review rounds and are handled (pointer receiver + no reference formed across enqueue_task; laundered this re-escaped after every release, matching run_callback/tick_immediate_tasks in the same file).
Level of scrutiny
High. This is the most-blocked category in REVIEW.md (native memory safety, GC-adjacent lifetimes, cross-thread refcounts). The black_box launder is a documented in-file pattern but is by nature a mitigation of an aliasing hazard rather than a structural fix, and ticket() now panics in release. A maintainer should sign off on the shape (refuse-vs-cancel in the closed state, the launder vs. e.g. moving tasks behind UnsafeCell, and the napi_cannot_run_js status choice for a basic-env API).
Other factors
Four earlier automated-review findings were each fixed in a follow-up commit (8c51723, 204e9ff, 635f560); all threads are resolved. Test coverage is good: three deterministic rows under the debug/ASAN gate exercise open/stopping/closed, with ordered stdout pinning the queued-before-complete ordering for the re-queue case and lateCompletions counting the door crossings. The PR description notes overlap with #38458 and #37750 that will need reconciliation on merge order. No human reviewer has weighed in yet.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The fix in 635f560 (accepting either ok or cancelled for first's status via a RegExp) addresses the last flakiness concern, and this pass found no further issues. Given the change spans VM-teardown lifecycle, event-loop re-entrancy under noalias, and the napi FFI boundary — and promotes the ticket() post-close check from debug_assert! to a release assert! — a maintainer sign-off is still warranted.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR is a follow-up to #38299 that closes two ticket-lifecycle gaps and refreshes three stale SAFETY comments. It touches src/jsc/VmHandle.rs (release-mode assert! in ticket(), new closed() accessor), src/jsc/event_loop.rs (new releasing_tasks flag; release_queued_tasks rewritten to go through a black_box-laundered pointer re-escaped after each release, matching run_callback/tick_immediate_tasks), src/runtime/napi/napi_body.rs (schedule now takes *mut Self and branches on VM state — refuse when closed, enqueue-cancelled when stopping, pool otherwise; napi_queue_async_work avoids forming a reference to the work), plus SAFETY-comment rewrites in JSTranspiler.rs, Image.rs, CompressionStreamCoder.rs, a new C fixture, and three new test rows.
Security risks
None in the auth/injection sense. The relevant risk class is memory safety: use-after-free of the napi_async_work if a reference outlives its complete-driven deletion, and the R-2 noalias hazard where a re-entrant enqueue_task write must be observed by the drain loop's next read_item. Both were flagged in earlier rounds of this review and addressed (pointer receiver in 8c51723; laundered drain in 204e9ff).
Level of scrutiny
High. This is native memory-safety code on the VM teardown path — cross-thread lifetime, pointer provenance across an extern hook that receives nothing derived from the receiver, and re-entrant addon callbacks that may free the object being scheduled. Five iterations of automated review each surfaced a real issue (recursion depth, protector UB on &mut self, noalias caching across the release call, flaky ok/cancelled assertion), all of which were fixed correctly. That history alone argues for human eyes.
Other factors
The debug_assert! → assert! promotion in VirtualMachine::ticket() is a deliberate release-build behavior change (panic instead of silent UAF race). The PR notes overlaps with #38458 (test-file restructure / gate env rename) and #37750 (also converts schedule to a pointer receiver), so whichever lands second needs reconciliation — a maintainer should be aware. The three new test rows are gated on cc availability (skip on Windows) and on debug/ASAN builds (the gate does not exist in release), which is consistent with the file's existing rows. All prior review threads are resolved and the last commit is a CI retrigger only.

Follow-up to #38299, for the two ticket threads in #38299 (review) (
VmHandle.rsandnapi_body.rs) plus the stale SAFETY comments listed in the review body.Problem
napi_queue_async_workcalled after a worker's teardown wait has ended takes a ticket nobody waits for. Debug builds catch it (panic: off-thread work started after the VM finished draining, fromNapiExternal::~NapiExternal->napi_queue_async_work->napi_async_work::schedule->VirtualMachine::ticket,src/jsc/VmHandle.rs); release builds count the ticket, cancel the work on the pool and post the completion onto a loop that teardown step D frees, racing the pool thread against steps D/E.NAPI_VERSION_EXPERIMENTALruns its finalizers inline during the collection that destroys the heap (step C,mustDeferFinalizers()is false), andnapi_queue_async_workis a basic-env API, so a finalizer may call it.napi_async_work::schedule(src/runtime/napi/napi_body.rs) had no state check at all: work queued at any point of the teardown (acompletecallback released by the wait re-queueing, a finalizer) went to the pool with a ticket, only for the pool to hand it straight back cancelled.Image.rsPipelineTask,JSTranspiler.rsTransformTask,CompressionStreamCoder.rsAsyncInput) still justifiedSendwith the "pool borrow" that One door out of a VM's thread: tickets + a teardown that waits #38299 removed.Fix
VirtualMachine::ticket()is a realassert!once the handle isClosed(it is#[track_caller], so the panic names the caller).VmHandle::closed()/VirtualMachine::closed()expose the state so the code that legitimately still runs at that point can check it first.napi_async_work::scheduledecides by VM state and never takes a ticket once script is forbidden:napi_queue_async_workreturnsnapi_cannot_run_js(the status Bun already uses fornapi_throwduring env teardown) and the work is untouched, so the addon can still delete it.

Without that, a releasedcompletethat queues another work would have that work released inside itself, one native frame per link of a chain; before this PR such a chain drained one link per turn of the wait through the pool, and it still does now. Outside a drain, a closed queue still releases on arrival, as before. The drain goes through a laundered pointer, re-escaped after each release, like the other re-entrant loops in that file (the release call receives nothing derived from thenoaliasreceiver, yet the re-entrant push is what the next read has to observe).Strong/PendingTask) lives on the job's Js side, which is dropped on the JS thread only after the pool has posted the job back, and the pool reads inrunwhile the job's ticket keeps the VM alive.test/js/web/workers/worker-late-completion.test.ts, driven byworker-late-completion-napi-fixture.c(an experimental addon compiled per row with the systemccagainst the in-treesrc/runtime/napiheaders, astest/napi/napi-value-ffi.test.tsalready does; rows skip where there is nocc, i.e. Windows):napi_queue_async_work: the ordinary path, one late completion fromnapi_body.rs,completedelivered by the wait's release (passes before and after; napi had no row in the table).

src/jsc/VmHandle.rs): a counted token held by anything running on another thread on a VM's behalf. The VM's teardown goes Stopping -> Draining (waits for the count to reach zero, releasing arriving completions on its own thread) -> Closed, and only then destroys the JSC VM (step C), the loops (D) and the struct (E). A ticket created after Closed is therefore never waited for.EventLoop::release_queued_tasks), anything enqueued later is released via the type'srelease_unrun: by the drain that is running, if one is, otherwise immediately. For a napi work, releasing means running the addon'scompletewithnapi_cancelled, which is how the addon frees the work; that is fine while the heap is alive (Draining) and not once it is being destroyed (Closed), hence the two branches.NAPI_VERSION_EXPERIMENTALaddons Bun, like Node, runs finalizers synchronously during GC instead of deferring them to the event loop, restricting them to the basic-env subset of the API (thenode_api_basic_envtype in the headers);napi_queue_async_workis part of that subset, which is why a finalizer can reach this code. Older addons' finalizers are deferred and dropped at this stage, so they never get here.Probe output (debug build of main 9c629a4 vs. this branch, fixture driven by a small host script)
