I re-reviewed after 9458bbf/af24749 and found no new issues — the double reportExtraMemoryAllocated in BunString__toJSDOMURL/pathToFileURL is fixed and the earlier test nits are all addressed. Given the wrapper-cache/WeakHandleOwner removal, the hand-rolled authority scan gating the punycode check in hasValidParsedHost, and the WebKit pin to the unmerged autobuild-preview-pr-452 build, a human sign-off still makes sense here.
Checked: no remaining callers of the deleted toJS(DOMURL&)/toJS(URLSearchParams&) overloads; URL.parse/constructor/pathToFileURL/BunString__toJSDOMURL all reach the new toJSNewlyCreated that owns the extra-memory report; the searchParams getter still caches via m_searchParams so identity is preserved; new punycode tests cover \t/\n/\r, percent-hidden, base-URL, and Unicode-host-with-path variants.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Two independent changes plus a dependency pin: (1) JSDOMURL/JSURLSearchParams bypass the DOMWrapperWorld wrapper cache — toJSNewlyCreated now creates the wrapper directly, deletes JSDOMURLOwner/JSURLSearchParamsOwner, the wrapperOwner/wrapperKey overloads, and the toJS(impl&) entry points, and centralizes reportExtraMemoryAllocated in the helper (with the four call sites updated); (2) hasValidParsedHost now takes the raw input and only re-runs ICU punycode validation when the input's authority could have literally contained the xn-- label (or been hidden by %/tab/newline); (3) WEBKIT_VERSION is repointed at a preview autobuild of oven-sh/WebKit#452. Tests: a full WPT urltestdata.json constructor sweep and targeted punycode-spelling / searchParams-identity-across-GC cases.
Security risks
hasValidParsedHost gates whether an already-parsed xn-- host is re-validated. A false return true on the fast path would accept an invalid punycode label that Node/Ada rejects. The heuristic hand-parses scheme + slashes + authority terminator; it errs conservative on tab/CR/LF (any occurrence anywhere forces the ICU check) and on % in the authority slice, and the fallback is always the full Bun::hasValidPunycodeHost(host) call. I did not find an input that both produces an xn-- host from a non-Unicode source and evades the literal/percent probe, and the WPT constructor sweep plus the new spelling matrix cover the obvious shapes — but this is exactly the kind of hand-rolled parser that REVIEW.md flags for human scrutiny.
Level of scrutiny
High. The wrapper-cache removal changes JSC GC ownership semantics for two Web API classes and deletes the safety net (WeakHandleOwner::finalize) that used to unregister them; correctness rests on the stated invariant that a DOMURL/URLSearchParams impl never re-enters JS through anything but its creating wrapper. The WebKit pin swaps the JS engine to an unmerged preview build. Neither is mechanical.
Other factors
All prior automated-review feedback (mine and CodeRabbit's) has been addressed across 3f82434/af24749/9458bbf. Grep confirms no remaining users of the deleted toJS overloads or wrapperKey(DOMURL*)/wrapperKey(URLSearchParams*). The one CodeRabbit thread still open in the UI (URL.parse extra-memory report) is resolved in practice by moving the report into toJSNewlyCreated. Deferring rather than approving because the GC-lifecycle change and the WebKit preview pin are maintainer-level decisions.

I reviewed this PR and the bug-hunting pass found no issues; all earlier inline feedback (double reportExtraMemoryAllocated, \r test coverage, bare toThrow(), authority-scoped xn-- probe) has been addressed. Because it removes the DOM wrapper cache / WeakHandleOwner for URL/URLSearchParams (a GC-lifetime invariant change), adds a hand-rolled authority scanner in hasValidParsedHost, and pins WEBKIT_VERSION to an unmerged preview build, a human look is still warranted.
Checked: no remaining callers of the deleted toJS(DOMURL&) / toJS(URLSearchParams&) overloads; searchParams identity is preserved via m_searchParams WriteBarrier and covered by the new GC test; toJSNewlyCreated now owns the extra-memory report and the three former call-site reports are gone.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR makes three coupled changes: (1) JSDOMURL/JSURLSearchParams bypass createWrapper/cacheWrapper and construct wrappers directly, deleting their WeakHandleOwner, wrapperOwner/wrapperKey, and the toJS(impl&) overloads; reportExtraMemoryAllocated moves into toJSNewlyCreated(Ref<DOMURL>&&) and the three former call-site reports (constructor, BunString__toJSDOMURL, functionPathToFileURL) are removed. (2) hasValidParsedHost gains an input-aware fast path that hand-scans the input's authority (skip leading C0/space, scheme, slashes; stop at / \\ ? #) to decide whether an xn-- label could have been literal before falling through to ICU. (3) WEBKIT_VERSION is repointed at autobuild-preview-pr-452-c20a4294. Tests add a WPT constructor sweep and targeted punycode/GC-identity cases.
Security risks
The authority scanner is a heuristic over user-controlled input on a security-adjacent path (invalid-punycode rejection). It is fail-safe by construction — any \t/\n/\r anywhere, or any % / case-insensitive xn-- in the derived authority, forces the full Bun::hasValidPunycodeHost check — so a mis-scoped authority can only cost performance, not accept an invalid host. No auth/crypto/permission surface is touched.
Level of scrutiny
High. Removing the wrapper cache changes a GC-lifetime invariant: correctness now depends on no code path ever needing to recover an existing JS wrapper from a native DOMURL/URLSearchParams. I grepped and found no remaining toJS<IDLInterface<...>> / wrap() callers for either type, and url.searchParams identity is held by the m_searchParams WriteBarrier (covered by the new "keeps its identity across GC" test). Still, this is exactly the class of change REVIEW.md flags for maintainer sign-off ("Root or copy every JSValue held beyond the current call", "don't silently delete existing ones"). The WebKit pin to a preview autobuild is a dependency decision a maintainer must own.
Other factors
All prior automated-review threads are resolved by commits 3f82434 and 9458bbf. The hasValidParsedHost heuristic went through one review iteration already (scoping to authority) and now has variant-matrix tests for %, \t, \n, \r, leading whitespace, https:xn--a, backslashes, and relative-vs-base. The WPT constructor test uses toThrow(TypeError). Given the GC-invariant change plus the preview WebKit pin, this exceeds the bar for auto-approval.

I reviewed the current 4-file diff and didn't find any bugs. Because this bumps the pinned WebKit (pulling in the rewritten WTF::URLParser from oven-sh/WebKit#452) and adds a hand-rolled authority-slice scan in hasValidParsedHost, a human look is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
hasValidParsedHostauthority heuristic — traced everyDOMURL::create/parseInternal/setHrefcaller: the base is always validated with its own input first, so a host inherited from a base is never skipped; the slice's terminators (/ \\ ? #) match the WHATWG authority-state delimiters for special schemes, and the leading<= ' 'skip matches the C0+space strip.- Confirmed the wrapper-cache /
toJSNewlyCreatedchanges are no longer in this PR, so the earlier double-reportExtraMemoryAllocatednote onBunString.cpp/BunObject.cppno longer applies. - New tests:
\r-hidden label,toThrow(TypeError), base+relative variants, and Unicode-host-with-%-in-path are all present.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR now touches four files: a WebKit version pin (scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts), the hasValidParsedHost optimization in src/jsc/bindings/DOMURL.cpp, a new WPT url-constructor test file, and a new punycode-label regression test in url.test.ts. The wrapper-cache / JSDOMURL.cpp / JSURLSearchParams.cpp changes referenced in the title and earlier review rounds are no longer in the diff — toJSNewlyCreated(Ref<DOMURL>&&) on the current head still calls createWrapper<DOMURL> and JSDOMURLOwner is intact — so my last inline comment about a double reportExtraMemoryAllocated in BunString__toJSDOMURL / functionPathToFileURL is moot.
Security risks
Host validation is security-adjacent: accepting an invalid xn-- label that Node/ada rejects could let a hostname through that downstream code assumes was IDNA-validated. I walked the heuristic for the dangerous direction (returning true when the parsed host's xn-- came literally from the input): the tab/newline/CR check is global; the leading-C0+space skip and scheme scan match the URL Standard's input preprocessing; the authority slice terminates on exactly the four characters (/, \\, ?, #) that end the authority state for special schemes; userinfo and port stay inside the slice (over-inclusion is safe); and every call site that passes a relative input has already validated the base with the base's own input string (create(url, const URL&, ...) is only reached via create(url, const String&), and parseInternal checks the base first). I did not find an input that produces a literal xn-- host while the slice misses it. The remaining false positives (a % in userinfo) are performance-only.
Level of scrutiny
High. The WebKit pin change is not a mechanical version bump — it swaps in a rewritten WTF::URLParser, which changes URL parsing behaviour for every consumer in Bun, and the hasValidParsedHost change is a hand-rolled second pass over user-controlled input whose correctness depends on staying in lockstep with the real parser's authority extraction. Both fall squarely under the repo's "Dependencies & vendoring" and "use real parsers, never prefix-stripping" review guidance, so a maintainer sign-off is appropriate even with no concrete bug found.
Other factors
All eight prior inline comments (mine and CodeRabbit's) are resolved in the current diff: \r case added, toThrow(TypeError) everywhere, canParse/parse variants for the invalid-base path, Unicode-host-with-%-in-path/query cases, and the knownDeviations dead code removed. The new url-wpt-constructor.test.ts runs the full vendored urltestdata.json (>800 entries) against the new parser, which is the strongest available regression net for the WebKit bump. The PR title still references the wrapper-cache work that was dropped from this diff.

… add full WPT url-constructor test hasValidParsedHost() re-ran ICU ToASCII on every host containing an xn-- label, including punycode the parser had just produced from a Unicode host, so IDN URLs paid for ICU twice. Only a label that came literally from the input's authority (or could be hidden by percent-encoding, tabs or newlines) can be invalid. Also runs the full WPT url-constructor expectations over the vendored urltestdata.json; previously only the failure half was exercised.
