Replace the preview pin before merge.
autobuild-preview-pr-459-9203122d targets the still-open oven-sh/WebKit#459 preview release. After the PR lands, replace it with the immutable merged commit SHA. Ensure the SHA resolves through the prebuilt release path and scripts/sync-webkit-source.ts. process.versions.webkit is derived from WEBKIT_VERSION; no separate assertion update is required.

Agreed, and it is the plan stated in the description: this line moves to the squash-merge commit of oven-sh/WebKit#459 as soon as that lands (the preview tag is only there so CI runs the test against the fixed engine). Leaving this thread open until the re-pin is pushed. The preview tag already resolves on both paths, by the way: the prebuilt download uses the tag as the release name, and scripts/sync-webkit-source.ts rev-parses autobuild-* tags, preview ones included.

@robobun, thanks for the clarification.
The preview pin is appropriate while CI validates the WebKit fix. The stated behavior of prebuiltUrl() and scripts/sync-webkit-source.ts removes the path-resolution concern. The thread should remain open until the immutable squash-merge commit replaces the preview identifier.

Learning: In oven-sh/bun, `scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts` can temporarily use an `autobuild-preview-pr-*` WebKit release identifier before the related upstream WebKit pull request merges. Both `prebuiltUrl()` and `scripts/sync-webkit-source.ts` support these `autobuild-*` preview tags. Replace the preview identifier with the immutable squash-merge commit after the upstream pull request merges.

Learning: For oven-sh/bun startup snapshot dependency updates, scripts/build/deps/mimalloc.ts and scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts may temporarily pin preview artifacts while the corresponding upstream pull requests remain unmerged. Keep the related pull request blocked from merging until those upstream changes land; then update both dependency pins and the matching process.versions assertion to immutable merged commit SHAs.

On the merge-risk note: yes, the preview pin is temporary by design. The two "linked issues" warnings refer to issue #39, which this PR is not related to and does not reference; there is no linked issue for this change (it came out of a fuzz differential against node), so those can be ignored. |

🔴 WEBKIT_VERSION is pinned to autobuild-preview-pr-459-9203122d, a preview-build tag for an unmerged WebKit PR — as the PR description notes, this must be re-pinned to the merged oven-sh/WebKit commit sha (40-hex, like the previous c6cfe90c60…) before landing. Preview release tags are ephemeral and can be deleted once oven-sh/WebKit#459 merges or is superseded, at which point every fresh build/CI run 404s on the prebuilt download; it also isn't a checkout-able sha for local mode.
Extended reasoning...
What the bug is
scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:6 sets WEBKIT_VERSION = "autobuild-preview-pr-459-9203122d", replacing the previous 40-hex commit sha c6cfe90c6064bd80a1916b844c2f092735cfc720. This is a preview-build release tag published for oven-sh/WebKit#459 while that PR is still open — not a permanent autobuild release for a merged commit. The PR description already acknowledges this ("Pinned to the preview build of oven-sh/WebKit#459 so CI exercises the change; to be re-pinned to the merged oven-sh/WebKit commit before this merges") and the PR title carries the "(preview)" marker; this comment exists to ensure the re-pin isn't forgotten and the PR isn't merged as-is.
The specific code path that would break
prebuiltUrl(cfg) constructs the download URL as https://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/releases/download/${tag}/${name}.tar.gz, where tag is WEBKIT_VERSION verbatim when it already has the autobuild- prefix. Every prebuilt-mode build (the default for CI and bun bd) hits this URL to fetch JavaScriptCore. Separately, the file's own doc comment (lines 2–3) says this value "determines prebuilt download URL + what to checkout for local mode" — a preview tag string is not a git-checkout-able ref for the local-mode path.
Why nothing prevents it
The build system special-cases autobuild--prefixed values in prebuiltUrl() and prebuiltDestDir() (using the whole string as the cache key rather than a 16-char sha prefix), so builds work today while the preview release exists. There is no guard that rejects a non-40-hex value or checks that the tag corresponds to a merged commit — the only thing keeping this alive is the continued existence of the autobuild-preview-pr-459-9203122d GitHub release.
Impact if merged as-is
Preview release tags on oven-sh/WebKit are ephemeral: they are published so a Bun PR can exercise an unmerged engine change in CI, and are eligible for deletion once the WebKit PR merges (superseded by the permanent autobuild-<merged-sha> release) or is closed. If this Bun PR lands with the preview pin and the preview tag is later garbage-collected, every fresh clone, every new CI runner without a warm cache, and every developer switching WebKit ABI (debug↔release, ASAN toggle — each has a distinct prebuiltDestDir) fails with an HTTP 404 fetching the WebKit tarball. That is a concrete regression: builds that work today stop working, with no code change on main to bisect to.
Step-by-step proof
- Bun's
mainmerges withWEBKIT_VERSION = "autobuild-preview-pr-459-9203122d". - [JSC] Uint8Array.prototype.setFromBase64 into a zero-length target reads nothing WebKit#459 merges upstream; its CI publishes
autobuild-<merged-40-hex-sha>as the permanent release. - The now-redundant
autobuild-preview-pr-459-9203122drelease is deleted from oven-sh/WebKit (standard cleanup for preview tags). - A new contributor clones Bun and runs
bun bd.prebuiltUrl(cfg)resolves tohttps://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/releases/download/autobuild-preview-pr-459-9203122d/bun-webkit-linux-amd64-debug.tar.gz. - GitHub returns 404; the WebKit dependency fetch fails; the build aborts. The same happens on every CI runner without a cached
webkit-preview-pr-459-9203122d-debugdirectory.
Fix
Before merging this PR: wait for oven-sh/WebKit#459 to land, then set WEBKIT_VERSION to the merged commit's 40-hex sha (matching the previous value's shape) so prebuiltUrl() targets the permanent autobuild-<sha> release and local-mode has a checkout-able ref. No other change is needed — the tests and everything else in this PR are independent of which tag delivers the same engine bits.

Confirming the re-pin point raised on One correction to my earlier comment about |
…{ read: 0, written: 0 } (WebKit bump)
Picks up oven-sh/WebKit#459. FromBase64 step 3 returns before looking at
the string when maxLength (the target's length) is 0; JSC handed the empty
span to simdutf anyway, so a zero-length target still threw on invalid
input and reported whitespace as read, unlike node.
WEBKIT_VERSION points at that PR's preview build until it is merged.

Uint8Array.prototype.setFromBase64into a zero-length target still parses the string. Found by a fuzz differential against node (every one of the 183 mismatches had a zero-length target; targets of 1 byte and up match node everywhere):node has it right:
setFromBase64passes the target's length to FromBase64 as maxLength, and FromBase64 step 3 returns{ read: 0, written: 0 }for maxLength 0 before looking at the string. test262 covers it insetFromBase64/trailing-garbage-empty.js, which JavaScriptCore lists as a known failure. Same on 1.3.x; not a regression.Cause: JavaScriptCore's
uint8ArrayPrototypeSetFromBase64(JSGenericTypedArrayViewPrototype.cpp) hands the empty output span toWTF::fromBase64, and simdutf'sbase64_to_binary_safevalidates the input even when there is nowhere to write.setFromHexis not affected (FromHex checks the odd-length case before maxLength, and a zero-length target already returns{ read: 0, written: 0 }there), and no Bun source is involved: these methods are the engine's.Fix
{ read: 0, written: 0 }when the target's length is 0, right after the detached / out-of-bounds check, which is where the spec invokes FromBase64. The argument and option validation, the option getters and the detached TypeError still run first;Uint8Array.fromBase64(no maxLength) is untouched and still rejects"!". That branch is directly on top ofeeab04040f, the commitmainpins since Upgrade WebKit to 47f7250137c6 #39371, so the new pin is exactly the current engine plus that change (one function in one file, a JSTests stress test, and the now-passing test262 entry dropped from the two expectations files).test/js/bun/jsc/uint8array-base64.test.ts. 22 inputs (garbage, partial chunks, bad and excess padding, garbage after a complete chunk, whitespace-only, the other alphabet's characters, non-ASCII and 16-bit strings) against four zero-length targets (new Uint8Array(0), a zero-lengthsubarrayinside a buffer whose bytes must stay untouched, a length-tracking view of a buffer resized to 0, a fixed zero-length view of a buffer that has since grown), each with no options and with all sixalphabetxlastChunkHandlingcombinations; the result object's shape; the checks that still have to happen on a zero-length target (non-string argument, non-object options, bad option values, getter order, a throwing getter, detached before the call and from inside a getter, a zero-length view that went out of bounds); that a 1-byte target and a length-tracking view grown to 1 byte parse the string again; thatUint8Array.fromBase64still throws; andsetFromHex's result object, since the engine change routes it through the same helper.USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1; the 8 that pass are the detached,fromBase64,setFromHextests and the four complete-chunk inputs, which simdutf already reported asread: 0). Against this pin all 29 pass withbun bd test(debug ASAN build), a 54-cell comparison ofsetFromBase64results against node 26 (zero-length and exactly-full targets, everylastChunkHandling) has no differences (11 before, all zero-length), the stress test from [JSC] Uint8Array.prototype.setFromBase64 into a zero-length target reads nothing WebKit#459 and the three existinguint8array-setFromBase64*/uint8array-base64-bad-char-decodestress tests pass under the debug build, and test262'strailing-garbage-empty.jspasses along with the ten othersetFromBase64test262 files that already passed. The rest oftest/js/bun/jsc/passes on this pin as well, except the 1,000,000-iterationdomjit.test.tscases, which hit the local 5 s timeout under the debug ASAN build independently of the engine (the 1,000 to 100,000 iteration variants of the same tests pass). These results were taken against the current preview; the earlier preview of the same change on top ofc6cfe90c60gave identical results.trailing-garbage.js(a 3-byte target and"aaaa#": the spec stops after the chunk that fills the target, simdutf goes on and rejects the#). node 26 throws there too, so Bun keeps matching node; that one would be a simdutf change.Background
Uint8Array.fromBase64(no maxLength) andsetFromBase64(maxLength = target length). It reports how many characters it consumed (read) and the decoded bytes (written); a too-small target decodes until it runs out of room, and step 3 makes a zero-length target a special case that never starts, so it cannot fail on the input.WEBKIT_VERSIONinscripts/build/deps/webkit.tsis the only place the engine version lives; CI andbun bddownload the prebuiltautobuild-<version>release for it from oven-sh/WebKit.
