What

JSGlobalObject::m_asyncContextData has two fields. Field 0 is the embedder's async context, which every then / await / microtask captures when it is scheduled and restores while it runs. Field 1 was unused. It now holds the script execution owner the running script belongs to, for an embedder that has more than one per global object (undefined: the global object's own), and is captured and restored together with field 0.

What is captured stays one value, because one slot is what promise reactions and microtasks have for it, and nothing about them changes. While there is no owner it is field 0's value, as before; otherwise it is an InternalFieldTuple [async context, owner]. AsyncContextSwapScope::current() makes it, the scope installs and restores both fields, and asyncContextOf() / scriptExecutionOwnerOf() / captured() take one apart or build one. A job that captured nothing runs with no owner, like it runs with no async context. Exception::asyncContext() and JSModuleLoader::asyncContext() are captured values in the same sense.

Why

The embedder had to encode "whose script is this" inside its async context value and derive it again, by walking that value, every time native code asked. With its own field, native code reads it with one load, and the async context is only what AsyncLocalStorage makes of it. A microtask checkpoint that resets the async context with no script on the stack no longer has anything of the owner's to put back.

Cost

Without an owner: one more load and compare in current(), a type check of the captured value and a compare on entering and leaving a scope, and one more compare in the DFG / FTL inline promise reaction fast path (which is for when there is nothing to capture, so it checks field 1 too). With an owner: a capture allocates a tuple unless the last capture was of the same two values (the global object remembers it weakly, so it keeps no owner alive).

Tests

JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-script-execution-owner.js: then, await, thenables, async generators, combinators, throwing handlers, and the optimizing tiers, with iteration counts from testLoopCount. It fails if the DFG check of field 1 is removed. $vm.asyncContextScriptExecutionOwner() / setAsyncContextScriptExecutionOwner() are the hooks it uses.

History

This PR first carried two more changes (the script execution owner a FinalizationRegistry notes for its cleanup work, and programs evaluated in a scope over the global scope). The last commit takes them out; they are kept on claude/scoped-programs-and-registry-owner to be proposed on their own.

…cution owner that made the registry

DeferredWorkTimer::addPendingWork asks the global object who the current script
execution owner is and puts that on the ticket; the owner's status then decides
whether the work runs. A FinalizationRegistry asks for its cleanup work from the
collector, so "current" was whoever happened to be running when a collection
found something to clean up, which has nothing to do with the registry.

The registry now notes the current owner when it is made (it already called the
hook there, for its side effect, and dropped the result) and hands it to a new
addPendingWork overload that takes the owner. An embedder with more than one
owner per global object can stop the cleanup callbacks of an owner it has
stopped through scriptExecutionStatus, as it can for the owner's other work.
… its async context

JSGlobalObject::m_asyncContextData has two fields. Field 0 is the embedder's
async context, which every then / await / microtask captures when it is
scheduled and restores while it runs. Field 1 was unused. It now holds the
script execution owner the running script belongs to, for an embedder that
has more than one per global object (undefined: the global object's own),
and is captured and restored together with field 0, so native code reads
who is running with one load instead of deriving it from the async context.

What is captured stays one value, because one slot is what promise
reactions and microtasks have for it, and nothing about them changes: while
there is no owner it is field 0's value as before, otherwise an
InternalFieldTuple [async context, owner]. AsyncContextSwapScope::current()
makes it (the global object remembers the last one weakly, so a run of
captures of the same two values allocates once), the scope installs and
restores both fields, and asyncContextOf() / scriptExecutionOwnerOf() /
captured() take one apart or build one. A job that captured nothing runs
with no owner, like it runs with no async context.

The inline promise reaction fast path in DFG and FTL, which is for when
there is nothing to capture, also checks field 1.

$vm.asyncContextScriptExecutionOwner() / setAsyncContextScriptExecutionOwner()
and JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-script-execution-owner.js cover then,
await, thenables, async generators, combinators, throwing handlers and the
optimizing tiers.
…of its own

A module loader can have a module scope of its own (a lexical environment
between its modules and the global scope), and its modules' code is
compiled for it: names in that scope resolve as closure variables, the
unlinked code is private to the ModuleProgramExecutable (the baseline code
cached on unlinked code assumes one resolution and, for the closure one,
does not check), and records whose loaders' scopes have the same symbol
tables share the executable.

An embedder that runs classic scripts next to those modules (CommonJS
wrappers) had no way to do the same for them: JSC::evaluate() runs a program
in the global scope, and moving the functions it made onto another scope
afterwards puts code whose cached baseline code resolved globals under a
scope where the same names are closure variables, or the other way round.

JSC::evaluateInScope(globalObject, source, scope, thisValue, exception)
runs a program with `scope` as its scope chain, so the functions it makes
close over it. ProgramExecutable::getOrCreateForScope() notes the scope's
symbol tables on the executable; CodeCache gives such an executable unlinked
code of its own, as it does for modules; and programs of the same URL and
source text in scopes with the same symbol tables share the executable (a
weak map on the global object, keyed like the module one), which keeps its
unlinked code between runs while the linked code of each run is released.
Top-level declarations are the global object's, as for any program. There is
no JSONP fast path and no precompiled block for a scoped program.

Walkthrough

Changes

The change propagates script execution owners with async contexts. Runtime scopes and Bun VM APIs handle paired state. DFG and FTL promise paths preserve owner captures. A stress test covers continuations, isolation, restoration, and optimized execution.

Async context owner propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture and restore paired context state
Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/AsyncContextSwapScope.h, Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSGlobalObject.*, Source/JavaScriptCore/tools/JSDollarVM.cpp, Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/Exception.h, Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSModuleLoader.h
Async context captures now include an optional script execution owner. Scope entry and restoration update both values. Bun APIs read and set the owner field, and JSGlobalObject caches paired captures.
Owner-aware promise reaction lowering
Source/JavaScriptCore/dfg/DFGSpeculativeJIT.cpp, Source/JavaScriptCore/ftl/FTLLowerDFGToB3.cpp
DFG and FTL lowering select the slow path when either the async context or script execution owner requires capture.
Continuation propagation and isolation tests
JSTests/stress/bun-async-context-script-execution-owner.js
The stress test covers promise reactions, async functions, async generators, promise combinators, exception paths, sibling jobs, optimized paths, and cleanup assertions.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked tier parity for the new field-1 check: only the DFG (compilePerformPromiseThenOneHandler) and FTL lowering have an inline reaction fast path, and every other tier and the C++ paths (JSPromise.cpp, JSMicrotask.cpp, AsyncFromSyncIteratorPrototype.cpp, VM.cpp) already go through AsyncContextSwapScope::current(), so no LLInt/baseline change is needed.

Extended reasoning...

Findings are posted inline, so this body only records what else was examined. The Source/JavaScriptCore/CLAUDE.md warning about four-tier parity applied to the new field-1 check in the promise reaction fast path; a grep of llint/, jit/, dfg/ and bytecode/ for the async-context data shows only DFGSpeculativeJIT.cpp touches it, and every C++ capture site (JSPromise.cpp lines 389, 476, 762, 790, 1084; JSMicrotask.cpp; AsyncFromSyncIteratorPrototype.cpp; VM.cpp) calls AsyncContextSwapScope::current(), which now returns the tuple when field 1 is set. The CodeCache change also correctly extends the private-unlinked-code rule to ProgramExecutable via resolvesInGlobalScope(), mirroring the existing ModuleProgramExecutable pattern. The change is large and design-heavy (new public evaluateInScope API, scoped executables, ownership of FinalizationRegistry cleanup) with several confirmed correctness findings, so it is not approvable.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🔴 Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/ProgramExecutable.cpp — Embedders running a scoped program whose top-level declaration names a binding of that scope get a corrupted global object, a clobbered loader binding, or a permanently uninitialized global; evaluate() produces none of these. ProgramExecutable.cpp:179-256 checks new declarations against the global lexical environment and the global object only, never against m_scopeSymbolTables, so a colliding name links as ClosureVar into the scope (JSScope.cpp:86). Fix: when !resolvesInGlobalScope(), reject every var/let/const/class/function declaration whose name any table in m_scopeSymbolTables contains with a SyntaxError before any binding is created, as the duplicate-global checks do. [also at: Source/JavaScriptCore/interpreter/Interpreter.cpp:1320 - If an embedder evaluates a script with top-level declarations in a loader scope, a same-named scope binding is silently overwritten instead of the global being set. initializeGlobalProperties (ProgramExecutable.cpp:282-305) creates the program's var/function/let bindings on the global object, but…; Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/ProgramExecutable.cpp:323 - Embedders that evaluate a program in a scope get a permanently broken global when a top-level let/const/class or…]

    Extended reasoning...

    Program-level declarations are not pushed on the generator's scope stack; every access is an op_resolve_scope/op_put_to_scope linked later by JSScope::abstractResolve from the program's scope (BytecodeGenerator.cpp:427-430). With a scope over the global lexical environment, a lexical environment holding the name wins at JSScope.cpp:64-88 and returns ClosureVar whatever the initialization mode. Worst case: BytecodeGenerator.cpp:246-269 resolves the scope for the FIRST top-level function once and reuses that register for every later function, relying on the comment's invariant that all resolve to the global object. Program function g(){} function who(){} in a scope binding…

    Verification: normal — triggered whenever an embedder calls the new JSC::evaluateInScope() with source whose top-level var/let/const/class/function declaration has the same name as a binding of the scope's lexical environment (e.g. a script with var who = ... run in a loader scope holding who). Overlaps in root cause with the [pending] entry at ProgramExecutable.cpp:323, but this candidate states the…

Preview build of 636485b: autobuild-preview-pr-692-636485b2

…or, check the scope chain, flatten the global scope

- ProgramExecutable takes its scope's symbol tables in the constructor, so
  they are in place before the cell can be visited, instead of replacing the
  vector after finishCreation().
- getOrCreateForScope() requires each link of the scope chain to be a lexical
  environment, as JSModuleLoader::finishCreation does for a module scope.
- executeProgramInScope() flattens the global scope when it is an uncacheable
  dictionary, as executeProgram() does.
- AsyncContextSwapScope::captured() treats an empty async context as none,
  as wrap() and the scope do.
- program-in-module-loader-scope.js does not run in the bytecode cache modes:
  what it evaluates is a string, which has no cache, and forceDiskCache
  requires a hit. bun-async-context-script-execution-owner.js takes its
  iteration counts from testLoopCount.
A program that runs in a scope of its own went through a copy of
executeProgram's tail. The scope is one optional argument of executeProgram
instead: it picks the executable (getOrCreateForScope returns a plain one for
the global scope), the callee whose scope the program starts from, whether the
JSONP fast path applies, and what the run-once release keeps.
evaluateInScope() and the evaluate() overloads share one body the same way.
… the registry's owner

- GlobalExecutable::symbolTablesOfScope() / areSameSymbolTables(): the walk
  from a scope to the global lexical environment and the comparison of an
  executable's symbol tables, which ModuleProgramExecutable (through
  JSModuleRecord::getOrMakeExecutable) and ProgramExecutable each had. The two
  executable maps on the global object have one key type.
- JSFinalizationRegistry::finishCreation stores the owner with a write
  barrier: the hook that returns it may allocate.
- executeProgram flattens the global scope, whatever scope the program runs in.
- program-in-module-loader-scope.js runs in the tiers defaultRun has, listed
  one by one, without the bytecode cache mode.
dylan-conway added a commit to oven-sh/bun that referenced this pull request Sep 17, 2026
- Deferred work runs as its owner whoever's script the tick is nested under:
  the realm's own context is entered for work that is not a graph's, instead
  of leaving whatever graph is current.
- process.nextTick writes the graph next to the frame only when it differs
  from the one that is current; the node:http client's listeners are called
  through one rest array, as before, not two.
- AsyncContextFrame::call's single-use macro is inlined; Bun__JSValue__call
  checks for an exception right after the call (the scope restores the
  context on return); a dead include goes.
- Comments in VirtualMachine.rs and the type of $asyncContext say what the
  second field is.
- Tests: a FinalizationRegistry made in a node:vm context belongs to the
  graph whose script made it; graphs whose globals have the same names share
  a CommonJS file's compiled code. The Agent / perf_hooks observer test moves
  to the host integration group.
- WebKit: the preview build of oven-sh/WebKit#692 at 768c1023.

I reviewed the narrowed PR (now only the script execution owner next to the async context) and didn't find any bugs; because it changes the DFG/FTL performPromiseThen fast paths and the shape of the value every reaction and microtask carries, a JSC reviewer's look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • The two InternalFieldTuple shapes: wrap()'s [userContext, captured] is only unwrapped in PromiseReactionJob and the two-argument constructor, and the [asyncContext, owner] tuple that yields is taken apart in enter() — no path feeds one shape to the other's reader.
  • The memoized tuple in currentAsyncContextWithScriptExecutionOwner: Weak::get() returns null once collected, both fields are compared by identity, and nothing writes a captured tuple after creation, so reusing it across captures is sound.
  • Inline reactions: the C++ performPromiseThen treats a tuple as a non-undefined context (heap reaction), performPromiseThenWithInternalMicrotask carries it as the payload cell, and DFG/FTL are the only JIT readers of m_asyncContextData (no LLInt/baseline path) — both now check field 1.
  • The test scales with testLoopCount and drains per round; it is a fork-only bun-* test like the existing bun-async-context-propagation.js, which is also not in BUN-TEST-DIFFERENCES.md.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Since the last review the PR was narrowed (commit "Narrow this change to the script execution owner next to the async context"): the FinalizationRegistry owner and evaluate-in-scope parts are gone, and the diff against the base is now nine files, all under USE(BUN_JSC_ADDITIONS): AsyncContextSwapScope.h (capture/enter/restore of field 1 alongside field 0, plus captured(), asyncContextOf(), scriptExecutionOwnerOf()), JSGlobalObject.{h,cpp} (the memoized [asyncContext, owner] tuple held in a Weak<InternalFieldTuple>), the DFG and FTL performPromiseThen one-handler fast paths (an extra field-1 undefined check), comment-only updates in Exception.h and JSModuleLoader.h, two $vm accessors, and a new stress test.

Security risks

None specific to this change: no input parsing, no privilege boundaries. The memory-safety questions are GC-related: the cached tuple is only reachable through Weak::get(), which yields null after collection, and the tuple is otherwise kept alive by the jobs that captured it (as a reaction field, microtask argument, or inline-reaction payload cell). Weak<> members on JSGlobalObject have precedent (m_executableForCachedFunctionExecutableForFunctionConstructor). current() can now allocate, including from VM::throwException, but the exception cell being tagged is held by the caller and the allocation only happens when an owner is set and the pair changed since the last capture.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high, and a human should look: the change alters the DFG and FTL inline-reaction fast paths (verified they are the only JIT readers of m_asyncContextData; the C++ performPromiseThen, performPromiseThenWithInternalMicrotask and resolveWithInternalMicrotaskForAsyncAwait all treat the captured value opaquely and a tuple counts as "has async context"), and it overloads InternalFieldTuple for a second shape. I traced both shapes: wrap()'s [userContext, captured] is only produced by performPromiseThenWithContext and only unwrapped in PromiseReactionJob / the two-argument constructor, whose result (the captured value, possibly the inner tuple) then goes to enter(). The remaining assumption is that an embedder's async context value is never itself an InternalFieldTuple; that is the same assumption the pre-existing wrap path already makes and the header documents. /Source/JavaScriptCore is covered by CODEOWNERS, which also rules out an approval here.

Other factors

The new test exercises then/await/thenables/async generators/combinators/throwing handlers and a tiering loop that now scales with testLoopCount and drains per round; the PR states it fails when the DFG field-1 check is removed. The fork-only bun-* test is not listed in BUN-TEST-DIFFERENCES.md, consistent with the existing bun-async-context-propagation.js. The bug hunt ran dry (dry_streak) with one candidate ruled out (an embedder passing an empty owner to captured(), an embedder-side contract). Prior inline findings from earlier runs were on files no longer in the diff; I have not restated or characterized them here.

…e async context

Takes out the other two changes that were here, to be proposed on their own
once their engine halves are: a graph's CommonJS modules evaluated in its
overlay by the engine, and FinalizationRegistries that belong to the graph
they were made in (with the built-in modules' realm-wide registries made as
the host's). WebKit is the preview build of oven-sh/WebKit#692 at 5f513e6e,
which is narrowed the same way.
