Problem

  • docs: fix the factual errors found while rewording the docs #38899 corrected 311 facts across the docs, and review found one correction that was wrong in a subtle way, so every hunk of that commit (d3f975b, 271 hunks on 119 pages) was re-derived from scratch: each one was checked against src/ or packages/bun-types, or by running the snippet, and was also asked whether it implied anything false and whether the text around it still agreed with it. 210 hunks held up as written; this PR fixes what the other ones turned up.
  • The correction that prompted this turned out to be right after all: in a compiled executable, file() on an embedded path returns an in-memory Blob, and routes rejects that with ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE at startup, so the docs/bundler/executables.mdx example does need new Response(file(...)) (reproduced by compiling it both ways; the bare form only works when server.ts is run uncompiled, which is how it was checked before). The wrapper is back, with a comment saying why.

Fix

  • Corrections that were themselves wrong or too narrow (9): the routes example above; the symlink backend description on docs/pm/global-cache.mdx and docs/pm/cli/install.mdx (the backend is chosen automatically only for file: dependencies outside the project and transitive ones, --backend=symlink applies it to every package, hoisted installs only, not on Windows; link: uses a different path); the css loader link on docs/runtime/file-types.mdx (html-static was the right page, the link text was the problem); --dry-run on the install-family snippets ("without making changes" over-claims: it skips installing and writing package.json/the lockfile, root lifecycle scripts still run, bare bun link ignores it, bun patch still copies the package); --asset (embeds under the basename, not "preserving its relative path"); --registry on publish (a scoped registry still wins); the proc.stderr sentence (an fd also makes it non-undefined); the --todo output blocks now come from examples that actually produce them; the ffi thread-safe callback sentence.
  • Text next to the earlier hunks that was still wrong (the rest): examples that do not run or do not produce the output shown (fs.promises.glob returns an async iterator; the env plugin example on both plugins pages never resolved "env"; the onStart example used the runtime plugin() builder, which has no onStart; update("hello world", "hex") throws; the Redis publisher never awaited publish() and closed first; the fullstack INSERT had no RETURNING; the splitting example emitted no chunk; the inline snapshot block, the debugger trace, the unhandled-error examples, and the [1.44ms] timings were not what Bun prints), tables and sentences contradicting the implementation (MySQL TIME is a string and GEOMETRY a Buffer; statements coverage thresholds are accepted but not enforced; .env.local is skipped under NODE_ENV=test; macros run in call order; HMR accept([...]) arrays; TLS arrays only use the last pair; cc type differences; the identifier-minifier section), the s3 highlight ranges that the earlier reflow had shifted, and two license nuances (libspng's libpng-derived code, ls-hpack's bundled xxhash).
  • Every hunk here was checked twice (applied from the re-verification's evidence, then re-derived independently; that second look corrected three of them before this was opened), and I re-derived about twenty myself while reading the diff, including compiling the routes example, the chunk names, the minifier alphabet (54-character head with $ reserved), the HMR accept array, the isolated installer's backend fallthrough, the Windows method table, the debugger output, and the md loader output.
  • Verified on the final tree: prettier --check docs clean; the three link targets or anchors this PR adds resolve; nothing outside docs/ is touched, so CI skips the test pipeline.

Out of scope, filed separately

  • fetch() with a Bun.file() body and HTTP_PROXY=https://... reaches the sendfile is only supported without SSL panic (the sendfile decision only looks at the proxy option), and [install] dryRun in bunfig is parsed but never applied; both handed off. --jsx-side-effects being ignored on its own was already tracked (cli: make --jsx-side-effects work when passed alone #36261). The docs keep describing the intended behavior in all three cases.
  • packages/bun-types/serve.d.ts types BunFile as a route value, so the compiled-executable case above type-checks and fails at runtime; noted for the types, not changed here.
Page by page

docs/bundler/esbuild.mdx

  • CLI table --sourcemap row (line 51): replaced 'No differences' with the accepted values (linked as bare-flag default, external, inline, none) and a note that esbuild's both is not supported; verified against Arguments.rs:2601-

docs/bundler/executables.mdx

  • Static-assets server.ts example (~line 761): route values changed from file(x) to new Response(file(x)) for favicon/logo/styles; reproduced the TypeError in a compiled binary and verified the fix serves 200 + correct Content-Type
  • Embed directories paragraph (~line 878): extra entry points now qualified as applying to files that use the file loader (images, fonts, and so on); reproduced that .json/.txt entry points become JS modules and only .png is embed

docs/bundler/fullstack.mdx

  • Line 32 (POST /api/users in the opening app.ts example): appended RETURNING * to the INSERT so [user] is a row instead of undefined; kept the existing import { serve, sql } from "bun". Verified with sqlite-backed Bun.SQL tha

docs/bundler/hot-reloading.mdx

  • With multiple dependencies (lines 134-135, 139): comment and prose now say the array holds the updated module at its index and undefined for the other dependencies, replacing the 'undefined means syntax error/errors' claim (verifi

docs/bundler/index.mdx

  • splitting: entry-a.ts/entry-b.ts now console.log(shared) so a chunk is emitted; tree says it is the JavaScript API result and shows chunk-dqmx6gc8.js (verified); added note that the bun build CLI names the chunk entry-a-t268ez5g.j
  • define: keys sentence now says identifiers or dotted property paths such as process.env.NODE_ENV (verified via src/bundler/defines.rs key split on '.' and by running --define nested.boolean=true)

docs/bundler/macros.mdx

  • Execution: replaced 'They run in the order they are imported.' with call-order wording plus note that the transpiler does not load or run a macro module until it reaches a call to one of its exports (verified via bun build: b.ts r

docs/bundler/minifier.mdx

  • Identifier renaming: Output block now shows the real bun build --no-bundle --minify-identifiers --minify-whitespace result function n(t,u){const c=t+u;return c} (was fabricated a/b/c/d).
  • Naming strategy bullets: replaced a-z/26 and aa-zz/676 claims; now says Bun orders the alphabet by source character frequency (first names like t, e, n), 53 single-char names (a-z, A-Z, _; bare $ reserved per renamer.rs:290), two-

docs/bundler/plugins.mdx

  • onLoad env example: added build.onResolve({ filter: /^env$/ }) returning { path: "env", namespace: "env" } and changed onLoad to { filter: /.*/, namespace: "env" }; verbatim block previously failed Bun.build with Could not resolve

docs/guides/ecosystem/neon-serverless-postgres.mdx

  • L41 index.ts snippet: console.log(rows[0].version) -> console.log(rows[0]?.version); re-ran tsc 6.0.3 with the bun init tsconfig (strict + noUncheckedIndexedAccess) against the neon stub: old text TS2532, new text clean; bun run o

docs/guides/test/todo-tests.mdx

  • Verified (bun test --todo with Bun.isAwesome() body -> TypeError, 1 todo, exit 0); changed the test.todo body to expect(1 + 1).toBe(2) so the bun test --todo block (marked as todo but passes / 1 fail / exit 1) matches, and added

docs/pm/cli/install.mdx

  • Platform-specific backends, symlink paragraph: removed the false 'skips symlinking the node_modules folder' sentence (verified: file:../dep installs nested node_modules as per-file symlinks; PackageInstall.rs:1175 only skips for

docs/pm/global-cache.mdx

  • symlink backend bullet: replaced 'Used only for file: dependencies' with: symlinks each file; --backend=symlink applies to every package; auto-picked only for file: deps at . or a parent dir, or transitive (verified in PackageInst

docs/pm/isolated-installs.mdx

  • From pnpm (line 217): replaced the 'main difference ... pnpm uses a global store' contrast; now says Bun hardlinks (clones on macOS) from the global cache into the per-project node_modules/.bun/ store, and globalStore makes those

docs/project/bindgen.mdx

  • Rust-side paragraph now says both the dispatch shim the thunk calls (bindgen_Bindgen_test_dispatchAdd1 in src/runtime/hw_exports.rs, which calls add) and the create_*_callback module in GeneratedBindings.rs are hand-written; crate
  • $bindgenFn sentence (named in the finding's PROBLEM/EVIDENCE) now notes it goes through a hand-written js2native_bindgen__ export in src/runtime/hw_exports.rs (verified: only fmt_jsc/DevServer exist, none for bindgen

docs/project/license.mdx

  • libspng row: license cell changed from 'BSD 2-Clause' to 'BSD 2-Clause (portions derived from libpng, PNG Reference Library License v2)'; verified spng.c SPDX (BSD-2-Clause AND libpng-2.0), meson.build, README, and libspng.ts buil
  • ls-hpack row: license cell changed from 'MIT' to 'MIT (bundled xxhash is BSD 2-Clause)'; verified lshpack.ts compiles deps/xxhash/xxhash.c, whose header is BSD 2-Clause (Yann Collet), while vendor/lshpack/LICENSE is MIT only.

docs/runtime/binary-data.mdx

  • From TypedArray > To Blob: replaced the 'only if arr is a view of its entire backing ArrayBuffer' comment and new Blob([arr.buffer], ...) with new Blob([arr], { type: "text/plain" }); verified a sub-view gives size 3 vs 10 via .bu
  • From ReadableStream intro: changed const buffer = new Response(stream).arrayBuffer(); to const buffer = await new Response(stream).arrayBuffer();; verified arrayBuffer() returns a Promise.

docs/runtime/bunfig.mdx

  • Global vs. local: replaced 'it shallow-merges them, with local overriding global' with 'it loads both; keys set in the local file override the same keys in the global file' (verified: bunfig.rs reuses ctx.install and sets keys ind

docs/runtime/c-compiler.mdx

  • i64 table row: Aliases now int64_t, isize (abi_type.rs:75; verified cc() with isize returns -7n). Optional size_t/c_int/c_uint additions not made, keeping the Aliases column in step with ffi.mdx's table.
  • Primitive types intro now reads: same FFIType values as dlopen except buffer_length; only cc supports napi_env/napi_value (ffi_body.rs:2255-2272, re-ran both rejections). Added a buffer | char* row matching ffi.mdx.
  • cc Reference: heading library: string | string[], type Library = string | string[];, and dropped the word "array" from the sentence under it (ffi.d.ts:636; verified cc({library:"m"}) and ["m"] both work).

docs/runtime/child-process.mdx

  • Output streams: reworded so proc.stderr is undefined by default (inherit) and stderr: "pipe" gives a ReadableStream, no longer implying "pipe" is the only value that makes it defined (verified fd -> number).
  • Reference OptionsObject: terminal comment now says "Bun.spawn only (spawnSync throws)" (verified spawnSync({terminal:{}}) throws; js_bun_spawn_bindings.rs:470-475; bun.d.ts:7436 spawn-only).

docs/runtime/debugger.mdx

  • Bun.inspect(err) sample output: moved caret from 16 to 20 leading spaces (under Error, matching bun 1.4.0) and changed at file.js:2:13 to at /path/to/file.js:2:17; captureStackTrace hunk left unchanged as the finding said.

docs/runtime/environment-variables.mdx

  • Line 14: changed .env.local bullet to .env.local (not loaded when NODE_ENV=test), matching env_loader.rs:720-722 and docs/guides/runtime/set-env.mdx:22; verified NODE_ENV=test and bun test skip .env.local with bun 1.4.0.

docs/runtime/ffi.mdx

  • Thread-safe callbacks paragraph (line 344): replaced '(64-bit integers and pointers arrive as exact BigInts)' with conversion matching ordinary callbacks: u64/usize args arrive as BigInts, pointers as numbers (verified via jsValue

docs/runtime/file-types.mdx

  • css section: link retargeted from /bundler/fullstack back to /bundler/html-static#importing-css-in-javascript (heading exists at html-static.mdx:203) and link text changed from 'full-stack applications' to 'bundling HTML'.
  • Added a ### md entry after the text section: Markdown loader, default for .md/.markdown, renders to an HTML string (verified with bun run + bun build on 1.4.0), markdown alias via import attribute, inlined as a string when bun

docs/runtime/glob.mdx

  • fs.glob() compatibility example: kept the intro hunk; wrapped both promises.glob() calls in await Array.fromAsync(...) so files/filtered hold paths (promises.glob is an async generator, src/js/node/fs.promises.ts:246), and changed

docs/runtime/hashing.mdx

  • Encodings example (line 240): replaced hasher.update("hello world", "hex") (odd-length hex, throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE per CryptoHasher.rs:587-601, confirmed with bun 1.4.0) with hasher.update("68656c6c6f", "hex"); verified the

docs/runtime/http/tls.mdx

  • Appended to the key/cert sentence: Bun uses only the last key/cert pair in an array; to serve several certificates pass an array of tls objects with serverName (links to SNI section). Verified: [ec,rsa] serves RSA, [rsa,ec] serves

docs/runtime/module-resolution.mdx

  • NODE_PATH section: quoted the Windows example (NODE_PATH="./packages;./lib" bun run src/index.js) so the ; is part of the value instead of ending the command; verified unquoted form fails in bash and Bun's shell, quoted form set

docs/runtime/plugins.mdx

  • onStart (L107-121): replaced the runtime plugin() example, which throws 'build.onStart is not a function' (runtime builder has no onStart), with an equivalent Bun.build({ plugins: [...] }) example; ran verbatim, prints 'Bundle sta
  • onLoad env example (L232-235): added build.onResolve({ filter: /^env$/ }) returning namespace 'env' and changed onLoad to namespace 'env'; as written 'import env from "env"' failed with Could not resolve. Block ran verbatim (env.F

docs/runtime/redis.mdx

  • Pub/Sub Basic Usage publisher.ts example: changed writer.publish("general", "Hello everyone!"); to await writer.publish(...). Verified vs local Redis: verbatim block exited 1 (ERR_REDIS_CONNECTION_CLOSED), edited block exits 0

docs/runtime/s3.mdx

  • S3Client.list fence (line 713): highlight={12, 15-20, 24-29} -> highlight={12, 15-22, 27-35}; renumbered the 36-line block, uploads call is lines 15-22 and moreUploads call is 27-35.
  • S3Client.list block line 744: startAfter: uploads.contents!.at(-1).key -> uploads.contents!.at(-1)!.key; tsc --strict against packages/bun-types gave TS2532 at (31,19) before, exits 0 after.

docs/runtime/sql.mdx

  • MySQL Type Handling table: GEOMETRY row changed from string / Geometry data to Buffer / Binary character set; the bytes are a 4-byte SRID followed by WKB (verified against local MariaDB: 25-byte Buffer = SRID + WKB in prep
  • MySQL Type Handling table: TIME row changed from number / Total of microseconds to string / Formatted as HH:MM:SS (HHH:MM:SS above 99 hours) (verified: '12:34:56' and '100:00:01' come back as strings in both protocols).

docs/runtime/streams.mdx

  • Line 71: replaced 'receives exactly what is passed to controller.write(), without any encoding or modification' with: destination receives the bytes; when read from JS, Bun buffers writes and delivers Uint8Array chunks (strings UT

docs/runtime/templating/create.mdx

  • Accordion 'IF remote template' line: added that react and next are exceptions to the bunx fallback; Bun only prints a message pointing to react-app/vite and next-app (verified src/runtime/cli/mod.rs:1840-1861 and by runn
  • 'From npm' section: added one sentence after the 'Refer to...' line noting react/next don't run a package and only print the pointer message, since the finding flagged that section as still stating the unqualified rule.

docs/snippets/cli/build.mdx

  • --asset ParamField: replaced 'preserving its relative path' with embedding under the basename (directory keeps its internal tree, e.g. --asset ./static/public embeds public/...); verified against build_command.rs:1320,1402-1405,14

docs/snippets/cli/install.mdx

  • --dry-run text -> 'Resolve dependencies without installing them (the project's own lifecycle scripts still run)'; verified in source and by running it. Dropped the proposed lockfile clause: dry run during package-lock.json migrati

docs/snippets/cli/link.mdx

  • --dry-run: now says it applies to bun link <package> (resolve, no install/package.json/lockfile) and has no effect on bare bun link; verified link_command.rs register branch never reads dry_run and bun link --dry-run still c
  • --no-save: text now says the flag has no effect and bun link only updates package.json/lockfile with --save; verified CommandLineArguments.rs:1425-1426 (no_save = !--save) and bun link pkg --save --no-save still wrote package.js

docs/snippets/cli/patch.mdx

  • --dry-run: replaced 'Perform a dry run without making changes' with: skips installing packages, updating package.json, and saving a lockfile; the package is still copied into node_modules and --commit still writes the patch file (

docs/snippets/cli/publish.mdx

  • --registry ParamField: reworded to 'Use a specific registry by default, overriding .npmrc, bunfig.toml and environment variables.' and added that a registry configured for the package's scope (@scope:registry= in .npmrc or [instal

docs/snippets/cli/update.mdx

  • --dry-run ParamField: replaced 'Perform a dry run without making changes' with 'Resolve updates but don't install packages, update package.json, or save a lockfile' (verified in PackageManagerOptions.rs and by running bun update -

docs/test/code-coverage.mdx

  • Detailed Thresholds: removed statements = 0.9 from the example; reworded the sentence below it: only line/function thresholds make bun test --coverage exit non-zero, omitted keys keep the 0.9 default, statements is accepted

docs/test/configuration.mdx

  • Coverage Thresholds: replaced 'Setting any of these causes the test run to fail...' with: exits 1 only when coverage is enabled and any file's line or function coverage is below threshold; statements key accepted but not enforce
  • Coverage Thresholds code block (line 290): comment 'applies to lines, functions, and statements' changed to 'applies to lines and functions' (verified: statements=1.0 alone -> exit 0; lines/functions=1.0 -> exit 1; no coverage ->

docs/test/parallel.mdx

  • Worker-crash paragraph: added sentence that with a single effective worker (--parallel=1, or a one-file suite) bun test runs files in the main process, so process.exit ends the run with that exit code (verified runner.rs:50-59 and

docs/test/reporters.mdx

  • Line 26 (default reporter example): summary line '[1.44ms]' -> '[8.00ms]'; print_start_end truncates to whole ms so the summary always prints N.00ms (confirmed by running bun test: 6.00/7.00/9.00ms).
  • Line 41 (no-color example): summary line '[0.66ms]' -> '[9.00ms]' for the same reason; per-test '(pass) ... [0.xxms]' lines left unchanged since per-test timings do print fractions.

docs/test/runtime-behavior.mdx

  • Unhandled Errors example: replaced setTimeout(...,0) (verified: 2 pass, exit 0) with queueMicrotask; dropped the now-false 'This test passes' comments; trailing comment now says it is reported as 'Unhandled error between tests', t
  • Promise Rejections example: renamed 'passing test' to 'test 1' (it never runs) and replaced the comment with: reported as 'Unhandled error between tests', this file's tests are not run, bun test exits with code 1. Both final snipp

docs/test/snapshots.mdx

  • Inline Snapshots 'after first run' block (lines 72-76): re-indented the written snapshot to the call-site indent (+2 spaces, closing backtick at call indent), matching snapshot.rs:722-773 and verified by running the example with b

docs/test/writing-tests.mdx

  • test.todo (line 149): --todo lead-in now says 'Once myTestFunction() works, Bun reports the test above as a failure.' Verified: example as written gives ReferenceError/1 todo/exit 0; with a working myTestFunction it prints the s

docs/snippets/cli/add.mdx, remove.mdx (by hand)

  • --dry-run now says what it skips (install, package.json, lockfile) and that the project's own lifecycle scripts still run, matching install.mdx and update.mdx.

docs/test/configuration.mdx (by hand)

no test proof · iteration 0 · docs-only change; test-proof not applicable

Every hunk of the previous docs correction commit was re-derived from the
implementation or by running the example. This fixes what that turned up:
a few corrections that were themselves too narrow or wrong (the compiled
executable routes example needs the Response wrapper because embedded files
are in-memory Blobs; the symlink backend description; the css loader link;
the --dry-run, --asset and --registry flag descriptions), and text next to
the earlier hunks that was still wrong (examples that do not produce the
output shown next to them, the env plugin example that never resolved,
fs.promises.glob returning an async iterator, the hex example that throws,
MySQL TIME/GEOMETRY types, coverage thresholds that are not enforced, and
similar).

Status: ready for review. Docs-only (50 pages), so the test pipeline is skipped. Every hunk traces to a re-verification finding listed in the description; the routes example in executables.mdx is the one to look at first, since it reverses the review suggestion on #38899 (repro in the description). Review follow-ups: a8bb61d, db9de04, 6a692d7 and 0594331 pick up the accepted review points (minifier bullet, --asset JSX space, statements threshold on all three pages, unhandled-error intro, isize in both FFI tables, the bundler onStart example, MySQL TIME precision note, the lcov-only threshold gap, and the last --dry-run placeholder on outdated.mdx); the remaining bot findings were declined with reasons and withdrawn. The two behaviors the notes describe (lcov-only runs not enforcing coverageThreshold, prepared MySQL queries dropping TIME fractions) are filed as bugs separately; those sentences come out when the fixes land.

LGTM — docs-only fact corrections, each traced to a source-line or run in the description. The two inline nits (missing JSX {" "} in build.mdx, and the un-updated 'Triple letters' bullet in minifier.mdx) are cosmetic and can be fixed in a follow-up.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR touches 48 files under docs/ (+143/-105) and nothing outside it. It is a re-verification pass over #38899's fact-correction commit: every hunk of that earlier commit was re-derived against src/ or packages/bun-types or by running the snippet, and this PR fixes the ~60 hunks that turned out to be wrong, too narrow, or adjacent to still-wrong text. The changes fall into: (a) corrections that were themselves wrong (the compiled-executable routes example, --dry-run semantics, symlink backend description, --asset basename behavior, etc.), (b) examples that don't run or don't produce the shown output (fs.promises.glob async iterator, the env-plugin onResolve, Redis unawaited publish, update("hello world", "hex"), etc.), and (c) tables/sentences contradicting the implementation (MySQL TIME/GEOMETRY types, coverage statements threshold, .env.local under NODE_ENV=test, minifier alphabet, license nuances).

Security risks

None. All changes are prose, code-fence examples, and MDX <ParamField> bodies. No runtime, native, or build code is touched; CI skips the test pipeline for docs-only changes.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate for docs. Each hunk is small and the PR description gives per-page evidence (source file:line references, or the command that was run and its output). The one change that reverses a prior review decision — wrapping file(...) in new Response(...) in docs/bundler/executables.mdx — is explained with a reproducible distinction (compiled binary vs. uncompiled bun run), which is exactly the kind of subtlety the re-verification pass was meant to catch. I spot-checked a handful of claims against the diff and surrounding context (the onStart runtime-plugin fix, the Array.fromAsync wrap for promises.glob, the await on arrayBuffer(), the RETURNING * on the fullstack INSERT, the coverage-threshold statements removal) and they are all straightforward corrections that make the examples actually work.

Other factors

The bug-hunting system found two issues, both cosmetic nits: a JSX whitespace-collapse in docs/snippets/cli/build.mdx that renders "so--asset" without a space, and an unfinished wording pass in docs/bundler/minifier.mdx where 'Triple letters' wasn't updated to match the new 'Single characters'/'Two characters' siblings. Neither affects the technical accuracy of the documentation, and neither warrants blocking a 48-file correction pass. They are flagged inline and can be folded into a follow-up (or fixed before merge at the author's discretion). prettier --check docs is reported clean, and the three new link targets/anchors are stated to resolve.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/bundler/plugins.mdx`:
- Around line 237-238: Update the onLoad handler registered for the "env"
namespace to export only environment variables with the chosen public prefix,
such as PUBLIC_, instead of serializing all of process.env. Ensure the example
explicitly states that private credentials must not be included in the client
bundle.

In `@docs/pm/cli/install.mdx`:
- Line 491: Update the symlink backend terminology in docs/pm/cli/install.mdx at
lines 491-491 to distinguish default internal handling of direct and transitive
file: dependencies from behavior when --backend=symlink is explicitly selected;
update docs/pm/global-cache.mdx at lines 61-61 to scope “Only hoisted installs
use it” so it does not contradict file: dependency behavior.

In `@docs/runtime/c-compiler.mdx`:
- Around line 54-55: Update the FFIType documentation near the cc runtime
description to explicitly state that cc supports all dlopen FFIType values
except buffer_length, and additionally supports napi_env and napi_value.

In `@docs/runtime/sql.mdx`:
- Around line 1354-1361: Update the TIME row in the type mapping table to
document protocol-dependent precision: text protocol values preserve the sign
and up to six fractional digits, while binary protocol values preserve the sign
but format only HH:MM:SS or HHH:MM:SS and drop fractional seconds without
rounding.

In `@docs/runtime/streams.mdx`:
- Line 71: Add a regression test for direct ReadableStream consumption that
writes both a string and a Uint8Array, then verifies the reader receives
Uint8Array chunks with UTF-8-encoded string bytes and unchanged binary bytes.
Keep this test separate from direct-destination coverage.

In `@docs/snippets/cli/build.mdx`:
- Around line 210-211: Add a regression test for the --asset handling of a
nested directory path such as ./static/public, asserting that embedded files are
rooted under public/... rather than the full static/public path. Keep the
existing ./client coverage and verify the behavior through the relevant compile
or asset-inspection test symbols.

In `@docs/snippets/cli/publish.mdx`:
- Around line 99-100: Add a bun publish test covering registry precedence with
distinct default, scoped, and CLI registries: verify the scoped package uses its
matching install.scopes registry while an unscoped package uses the CLI
--registry override, preserving the documented precedence behavior.

In `@docs/test/code-coverage.mdx`:
- Line 71: Qualify the coverage-threshold statements with the requirement that
non-parallel bun test runs use the text coverage reporter; lcov-only runs do not
enforce threshold failures. Update docs/test/code-coverage.mdx lines 71-71 and
docs/test/configuration.mdx lines 297-297, preserving the existing default and
statements-key details.

LGTM — docs-only corrections, all four rounds of review feedback addressed.

What was reviewed:

  • Confirmed all 49 files are under docs/; nothing runnable touched.
  • Sibling-page consistency (ffi.mdx isize, bundler/plugins.mdx onStart, bunfig.mdx thresholds, outdated.mdx --dry-run) — each raised earlier and now fixed.
  • Spot-checked new claims against source: minifier alphabet (renamer.rs), .env.local skip under NODE_ENV=test, statements threshold not enforced, MySQL TIME/GEOMETRY decode types — all hold.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR touches 49 files, all under docs/, correcting factual claims that were themselves introduced or left inconsistent by the earlier fact-fix pass (#38899). Changes fall into three buckets: (1) corrections that were themselves wrong or too narrow (the compiled-executable routes example, --dry-run descriptions, --asset embedding, symlink backend); (2) example code that didn't run or produce the shown output (fs.promises.glob, env plugin, onStart, Redis publisher, splitting chunk names, hex update(), inline snapshot indentation); (3) tables/sentences contradicting the implementation (MySQL TIME/GEOMETRY, coverage statements key, .env.local under test, minifier alphabet, HMR array semantics, TLS array). The PR description documents per-hunk verification against src/ or by running, and prettier --check docs is clean.

Security risks

None. Docs-only; no source, test, config, or type-declaration changes. The license.mdx additions (libspng/ls-hpack sub-licenses) are informational.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-low. Docs corrections are low-stakes and easily amended. The main risk is introducing new factual errors, which is exactly what this PR was created to catch from #38899 — and the author's methodology (re-deriving each hunk twice, then a third independent spot-check) plus four rounds of bot review that caught missed siblings gives reasonable confidence. I spot-checked several of the more load-bearing new claims against the current tree and they hold.

Other factors

This PR has been through four rounds of my own inline review (11:58, 12:21, 12:52, 13:17) plus a CodeRabbit pass; every thread is resolved. The author addressed each finding with a fix commit (a8bb61d, db9de04, 6a692d7, 0594331) or a stated reason for declining. The final commit (0594331) closed the last remaining sibling gap (outdated.mdx --dry-run). The bug-hunting system found nothing on this run. Given the docs-only scope, the thorough verification methodology, and the responsive review cycle, this is safe to approve without further human review.
