The runtime pack shipped ICU's full icudt78l.dat (33.1 MB), and every
Intl executable gets a copy beside it. scr_intl.c answers its Intl forms
with ICU's break iterators, number and date formatters, calendars and
locale IDs, which never read the charset converters or the collation,
language, region, time zone name, unit, spell-out and transliterator
trees: 21.5 MB of the file.
- The pack build writes icudt78l.dat without those items
(ICU_DATA_DROPPED in icu-inputs.mjs). filterIcuData rewrites the data
file's table of contents to the remaining items, and the result is
checked against a pinned sha256 and size (11,653,984 B).
- tests/harness/icu-data-filter.test.ts runs every @requires-icu corpus
program under 47 locales and 3 time zones with the pack's data, with
the full data and in Node, and fails when the outputs differ, so an
Intl form that reads a dropped category fails there.
- intl-word-segmenter-dictionaries.ts segments Chinese, Japanese, Thai,
Lao, Khmer and Burmese text, which ICU breaks with the dictionaries in
brkitr/.
- scr_intl.c resolves the default locale as V8 does: ICU's POSIX locale
(LC_ALL=C, C.UTF-8, POSIX) becomes en-US, so numbers keep their grouping
separators, and other defaults round-trip through their BCP 47 tag. The
number formatter, the date pattern generator, the date formatter and the
default word segmenter use that locale.
- The date formatter moves the Gregorian calendar's Julian cutover to the
start of ECMAScript time, so dates before October 1582 print their
proleptic Gregorian fields, as in Node.
- icu.numFormatDefault, icu.dateLocaleString and icu.dateLocaleTimeString
are in the may-throw set: a missing ICU data file throws an Error into the
surrounding catch.
- `x.toLocaleString(undefined)` reads the receiver before the argument runs.
- The linux-x64-gnu runtime pack ships the ICU headers scr_intl.c includes
beside its ICU archive (manifest `headers`, verified like the other
artifacts). The native compiler's sanitized build compiles scr_intl.c
against them and refuses with SC3003 when they are missing or changed.
The C-source path (sanitized builds) links the pack's ICU archive and
uses those headers, instead of building ICU with Zig's C++ driver.
- The macOS pack omits scr_intl.c, scr_intl.h declares ScrDyn, and the
library-mode teachings test uses a locale argument, which still refuses
with SC2020.
Corpus programs pin the C and C.UTF-8 locales, pre-1582 dates and the
receiver order against Node. intl-missing-data.test.ts covers the throw.
sanitizer.test.ts covers the header lookup.
Node answers every locale-dependent Intl form from ICU, so a compiled
binary that must match it byte for byte has to run the same release over
the same data. vendor-inputs.ts pins ICU_VERSION = "78.3" beside the
other vendored versions and vendor-inputs.test.ts asserts it against
process.versions.icu, the oracle the differential corpus compares with.
ICU is not vendored. Its source tarball (icu4c-78.3-sources.tgz,
27,977,255 B) and its prebuilt data zip (icu4c-78.3-data-bin-l.zip,
12,836,659 B) come from unicode-org/icu's official release-78.3 assets,
each pinned by version and sha256 beside ICU_VERSION and mirrored in the
runtime packs' icu-inputs.mjs, with a unit test that keeps the two
identical. The tarball carries ICU's own sources.txt lists, which stay
the list of record: icuSourceList() reads them so the archive holds
exactly the units ICU's autoconf build compiles. ICU_CXX_TARGET names
the glibc floor the archive is built for.
The data (icudt78l.dat, 33,107,232 B) is shipped beside the executable,
never embedded: 970 source files and 33 MiB of compiled CLDR tables are
a download, not a reviewable tree in this repository.

The runtime vendored zlib 1.3.1 and archived it at -Os, and host C-lane
builds linked the system libz, so deflate, raw deflate and gzip output
differed from Node's at every level. The vendored copy is now Node
v24.22.0's deps/zlib (Chromium's zlib, 1.3.2.1-motley-285e94b), built at
-O3 with the units and defines Node's zlib.gyp selects per target: the
SSSE3 Adler-32 and SSE2 inflate and slide-hash code on x86-64, the NEON
and ARMv8 CRC-32 code on arm64, and the portable code on wasm32. The SIMD
units check the CPU at run time and give the same output, so compressed
bytes match Node's on every target.
zlibInputs (runtime-pack-common/scripts/zlib-inputs.mjs for the runtime
packs, vendor-inputs.ts for Zig cross builds and the sanitized runtime)
holds the per-target table, and a unit test keeps the two identical.
Every C-lane driver now links the vendored objects instead of -lz.
Chromium's BSD license ships beside zlib's in the runtime packs.
Corpus 8405 compares compressed bytes with Node across levels,
strategies, memLevel, windowBits, dictionaries and flushing streams;
8406 covers chunked inflation with small input pieces and output chunks.
Regex literals and new RegExp calls accept the v (unicode sets) flag, which
the vendored engine implements: class subtraction and intersection, nested
classes, \q{...} string literals and properties of strings. The flag uses
unicode mode for pattern decoding and string iteration, and flags read in
getter order (dgimsuvy). Regex literals now also report their flags in
getter order, as Node does for /x/yg, and the flag getters (global,
unicodeSets and the rest) compile on statically typed regexes.
In v mode the engine rejected `-` and doubled punctuation outside a
character class, and the `\-` escape inside \q{...}. It now applies the
class-only checks inside classes and \q{...} only, and parses \q{...}
contents with the class escapes, matching Node. The d flag is still
refused.
* Expand static compilation for common Effect 4 patterns
* Run every Effect 4 fixture slice in CI
* Preserve existing corpus behavior across Effect 4 lowering
* Preserve Effect platform callbacks and native stream state
* Record new corpus baselines and retain child stdin refusals
* Retire the obsolete stateful regex diagnostic
* Preserve promise reference count layout for cycle collection
- Implement the Zig 0.16.0 AArch64 musl runtime and preserve compiler failure diagnostics.
- Promote the target through executable, library, localization, and documentation matrices.
- Verify both backends and the complete arm64 Alpine differential contract.
