`in` on a typed array, Buffer or DataView held as `any` or `unknown`
answered false for every key: indices, `length`, prototype methods and
Object.prototype names.
On a typed array, a canonical numeric key (one that ToString(ToNumber(key))
reproduces, or "-0") now answers by bounds: an integral index, not -0,
below the length, so "1.5", "-0", "NaN" and "Infinity" answer false. Other
keys answer true for members of %TypedArray%.prototype, Buffer.prototype on
a Buffer, the constructors' BYTES_PER_ELEMENT and Object.prototype. A
DataView has no indexed elements and answers DataView.prototype's members
and Object.prototype's.
A message encoder started its node array at 16 nodes of 184 bytes and
kept the array, with its unused capacity, until the message was
received. A port that queued many messages held about 3 KB of zeroed
memory per message: 200,000 queued numbers took about 590 MB, and the
page faults made postMessage cost about 1.3 µs. The node array now
starts at 4 nodes and is trimmed to the message's node count when
encoding ends.
scr_channel_post posted a wake event, and with it a pipe write and a
condition broadcast, to the receiving thread's mailbox for every
message. The owner's loop counts a port with queued messages as ready,
so only a message that finds the queue empty needs to wake it.
bench/channel-messages, added here, posts 200,000 messages (numbers and
small objects) on a MessageChannel before the port delivers any.
A holey array converted to a checked-dynamic value keeps its holes (the
conversion records them in the array's presence map), but the runtime
inspector printed every element: `const u: unknown = a` for
`a[2] = 1` printed `[ undefined, undefined, 1 ]`, where Node prints
`[ <2 empty items>, 1 ]`, and `new Array(3)` through `unknown` printed
`[ undefined, undefined, undefined ]`.
The inspector now prints each run of holes as one `<n empty items>`
entry that counts toward the 100-entry limit, as Node's
formatSpecialArray does and as the typed array inspector already does.
A thrown array reached its catch binding as a type-erased native array:
`console.log(e)` printed `{}` where Node prints the array, `String(e)`
gave "[object Object]", `Array.isArray(e)` was false and a typed view
such as `(e as number[]).length` threw a TypeError. Thrown records
already crossed the catch boundary as checked-dynamic values that keep
their identity; arrays, and unions over records and arrays, now take the
same conversion, so the catch binding is the thrown object.
node:test printed a failing test's thrown non-Error value with String():
`throw { code: 42 }` reported `[object Object]` where Node prints the
value as util.inspect renders it. The failing-tests section now inspects
thrown numbers, booleans and checked-dynamic values (records, arrays,
null and undefined); a thrown string is quoted as before. A thrown class
instance that is not an Error still prints `[object Object]` (the
limitations page says so).
Adds corpus 6341, extends the thrown-values node:test fixture, and
records 6341's cost.
ScrDynHandleTag listed its tags by name with explicit values, so two
changes that each took the next free value merged without a conflict and
produced two tags with one value; only dyn-handle-tags.test.ts noticed.
#1397 (CRYPTO_KEY) and #1259 (ASYNC_DISPOSABLE_STACK) both took 56.
SCR_DYNH_TAGS is now the one list of tags: X(NAME, value) rows, sorted
by name, generate the enum, a _Static_assert per tag that the value is
below SCR_DYNH_CAPACITY, and scr_dynh_tags_distinct, a never-called
switch with a case per tag. Two tags with one value are a duplicate case
value, so every runtime unit that includes scr_dyn.h fails to compile and
names both tags. The values, the names and the generated code are
unchanged. dyn-handle-tags.test.ts reads the rows.
A construction through a plain function stamps the prototype with the
name of the function in its `constructor` property, for util.inspect.
The stamp pointed at the function's name. A bound function's name
("bound " and the target's name) is a string the bound function owns,
so after the `constructor` property was replaced and the bound function
released, inspecting an instance read freed memory. The stamp now holds
a copy of the name, freed with the stamp at exit.
The corpus program constructs through functions whose prototype's
`constructor` is a bound function (and a bound function of one), then
replaces the property and inspects the instances.
Relational string operators (`<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`) compared the UTF-8
bytes, which is code-point order. Node compares UTF-16 code units, so the
results differed for characters above U+FFFF against U+E000..U+FFFF and
for lone surrogates against surrogate pairs. The default `sort()`
comparator, `util.inspect` with `sorted: true` and dynamic comparisons
already used UTF-16 order; the default comparator of a dynamic array's
`sort()` did not.
Typed comparisons and the dynamic array sort now use `scr_str_cmp_u16`,
and the IR's `strCmp` node no longer has a `utf16` flag. The two orders
agree unless both of the first differing bytes are at least 0xED, so:
- the inline wrapper decides differing first words, or last words of
equal lengths up to 16 bytes, in byte order when neither word has a
byte of at least 0xED (a SWAR test). Other differing words, and the
first bytes of shorter strings, decide by their first differing byte:
in byte order when one of the two is below 0xED, and by plane when both
are lead bytes from 0xEE to 0xF4 (a supplementary character orders
below U+E000..U+FFFF);
- otherwise a proven-ASCII string on either side compares with `memcmp`
(`scr_str_cmp`), and other pairs call `scr_str_cmp_u16_bytes`. It finds
the first differing byte with words up to byte 32, then with 32-byte
SSE2 or NEON blocks where the target has them. The call is marked as
only reading its arguments, so repeated comparisons of one pair merge.
- `scr_str_cmp_u16` itself takes the same `memcmp` path for proven-ASCII
strings.
The native compiler sorts record fields with `<` and checks the order
with `sort()`, so it reported SC9001 for 5888-inspect-sorted.ts, whose
object has the keys "\u{1F600}" and "\uffff". 5888 runs in the
native-frontend self-host check. Adds corpus 6023.
`globalThis as { [KEY]?: State }` is the usual way for several modules
to share process-wide state. globalThis lowers to a checked-dynamic
value, and asserting a checked-dynamic value to a record or array type
took the checked conversion, which builds a new native value. A write
through the asserted value went to that copy, so other modules never
saw it; string-keyed and index-signature views threw "expected object".
- An assertion of the global object (globalThis, global, also through
`as unknown as`) keeps the checked-dynamic value when the conversion
would copy, so member reads and writes reach the global object.
- File-scope and local bindings of such an assertion hold the global
object (collectGlobals, lowerVarDecl), so an exported
`const state = globalThis as ...` works across modules.
- The divergence scan no longer reports these assertions as SC6001
width copies.
- Runtime: one global-object box per thread (scr_global_object), which
globalThis, global and globalThis.globalThis all answer, and direct
`globalThis[symbol]` accesses use that box's symbol-keyed properties,
so every spelling of the global object sees one property.
Other checked-dynamic values keep the checked conversion: a native
value held as unknown unwraps by identity there, and a checked-dynamic
tree is copied at the documented boundary.

crypto.subtle.importKey('raw', ...) for HMAC keys, HMAC sign and verify,
and the SHA-1/SHA-2 digests compile through the crypto global, with
CryptoKey values as native handles. scr_webcrypto.c is only the WebCrypto
layer (Web IDL conversion, algorithm normalization, the CryptoKey handle,
promise wrapping and Node's TypeErrors and DOMExceptions) over node:crypto's
digest core and deferred promise queue. It links only into programs that
call these methods (the new webcrypto link feature). Other algorithms, the
jwk format and the other SubtleCrypto methods are SC2020 refusals.
The real jose@6.2.12 HS256 path (SignJWT, jwtVerify) now runs natively. It
also needed four compiler fixes: object patterns of positions and length
over arrays, the Uint8Array base64/hex feature probes, a compile-time
String.fromCharCode.apply, and structuredClone of a parameter whose default
is {}.

node:test changes, matching Node 24.22:
- getTestContext() returns the context of the test, suite or hook whose
code is running: undefined at module top level, the root's context in
module-level hooks, the suite's in a suite body and in the suite's
hooks, and the test's in its body. In the afterEach and t.after hooks
of a subtest cancelled by its parent's timeout, it returns each hook's
owner.
- The context rides the AsyncLocalStorage snapshot under a reserved id,
so it follows a test across its awaits, into the async functions,
promise callbacks, timers and other callbacks it schedules, and into
concurrent subtests, which each see their own.
- The root's fullName is "<root>", as its name is.
- Optional chains over a test context, such as getTestContext()?.name,
lower.
AsyncLocalStorage enter and restore move into the always-linked async
core so the test runner can use them. The snapshot holds the node's
index in a table of live nodes, so a snapshot that outlives its node
answers undefined.
The get-test-context and get-test-context-cancelled fixtures compare
the contexts seen at each point with Node, plain and with SCRIPTC_SAN=1.
A compiled generator that reached an untyped value, as in
`function f(it) { return it.map(g) } f(gen())`, refused its iterator
helper calls with SC1071 at run time: the runtime's helpers could not
step a generator's capsule. Array destructuring of untyped values only
handled arrays, strings and bytes, so `const [a, b] = it` threw "is not
iterable" for generators, iterators, Maps and Sets.
Programs that box a synchronous generator and call a helper method or
destructure an untyped value now register, first thing in %main, the
checked getters that read a generator capsule's next and return methods
(scr_dyn_set_generator_members). With them:
- helper calls on a generator capsule run the runtime's helpers, which
step and close the generator through its own next() and return();
- reads of a helper name answer the runtime's helper function, so
`typeof it.map` is "function" and `it.reduce.call(it, f, init)` works;
- destructuring of any other iterable steps it through the iterator
protocol (scr_dyn_iter_take, and rest elements through
scr_dyn_iter_pack), closing an iterator that has values left.
A return() through an untyped value with no argument, or with undefined,
now completes with undefined as the typed .return() does, instead of
converting undefined to the generator's return type. This also fixes
for-of loops over untyped generators with a typed return value that exit
early.
console.log and util.inspect of a class instance list the properties
added to it after construction, after its declared fields. JavaScript
classes print their own properties in creation order: a field first
assigned in a method or under a condition appears only once it exists.
Such instances render through their checked-dynamic view when the class
has a property bag or is a JavaScript class; other classes keep the
generated inspect helper.
The runtime inspector detects cycles through the class instances it
reaches through views, so a cycle prints [Circular *N] instead of
expanding to the depth limit. A circular target's <ref *N> prefix counts
toward the 80-column line width, as in Node.
Capsules of a recursive class type carry the class's view operations,
so a nested instance prints with its class name.
A thread's default region asked for huge pages from its first chunk and
gave every class a 16 KiB segment, so in a program that only references
LifetimeRegion each thread committed whole 2 MiB pages and per-class
segment space for a few instances of each class. Default regions now use
small pages, and a class's segments in a default region start at 1 KiB
and double up to 16 KiB. Freeable regions keep their page and segment
policy.
Node 24's http.Agent installs a read guard on each socket it puts in
freeSockets: bytes that arrive while the socket is idle destroy it, so
they are never read as the response to the next request that reuses the
socket. scriptc discarded the bytes and kept the socket in the pool, so
the next request reused it (reusedSocket true, one connection) where
Node dials a new one.
The client connection's data hook now destroys the socket when it is in
an agent's free list. The socket leaves freeSockets and
totalSocketCount, and the next request through the agent opens a new
connection, as in Node.
Corpus 6200 covers an idle socket that receives a stray response.
scr_json.c and scr_inspect.c called scr_gen_tag, which lives in
scr_async.c. Libraries and the runtime's unit tests link those units
without scr_async.c, so their links failed on the undefined symbol.
Both now read the tag through scr_gen_tag_reader, defined in scr_json.c
and set at startup by scr_async.c. A generator capsule only exists when
the generator runtime is linked, so the pointer is always set when read.
When the last running worker parks, the trim helper now waits
SCR_SA_DISCARD_DELAY_MS (100 by default) before it returns the parked
workers' pages, and stops if a worker starts meanwhile. A program that
exits within the delay, such as a one-shot type check whose checkers finish
just before it reports and exits, no longer returns pages during its last
milliseconds. A thread that finds every arena claimed discards one waiting
arena and claims it, instead of running every waiting discard.
console.log and util.inspect of a generator object, an iterator helper,
or an array or string iterator were refused, and printing a Map or Set
iterator threw "util.inspect of a dynamic Array Iterator is not
supported yet".
Compiled generators now carry the tag their object prints with:
"Generator" or "AsyncGenerator" by default, "Iterator Helper" for the
helpers, "Array Iterator" and "String Iterator" for the iterators the
compiler builds as generators. The spawn wrapper sets it through the new
scr_gen_set_tag; an adapter over another generator copies that
generator's tag (scr_gen_copy_tag), and generators that stand in for an
object of another class, such as a Set iterator adapted into an
iterator-typed slot, keep refusing to print. They print as Node's
Object [<tag>] {} at any depth, and Object.prototype.toString answers
[object <tag>].
The runtime's native iterators print as Node does: Object [Array
Iterator] {} and Object [String Iterator] {}, and for Map and Set
iterators the entries the next steps would produce, without advancing,
under [Set Iterator], [Set Entries], [Map Iterator] or [Map Entries],
as [Object [Set Iterator]] past the depth limit and { } when none are
left. Object.prototype.toString answers [object Set Iterator] and the
other tags.
