Fixes #443 — the loader-hardening catalogue produced by the Android parity port's adversarial review (NativeScript/android#1965). Cross-referenced with Android's own follow-up, NativeScript/android#2021; the two runtimes coordinated live during this work and converged on shared fixes where the defects were shared.

Bugs (all 14 from the catalogue)

The headline: a worker entry whose top-level await rejects no longer has its rejection swallowed — it takes the web's dispatch order (worker-scope onerror first, a truthy return stops propagation, a throwing handler's own error propagates, otherwise the parent Worker's error event fires). The rest: the five dynamic-import .Check() process-aborts became reject-with-reason (a TDZ then in an import cycle now rejects instead of CHECK-crashing); all three pump loops bail on termination; deadlineSeconds is re-validated natively; the dynamic-import failure tail carries the response classifier's URL + cause and leaks no pending exception; dynamic import resolves once through the shared seam — which also fixed something the catalogue understated: scopes had never applied to import() from local referrers at all (the host names referrers by script origin, which prefix-matches no scope key; the origin now routes through the resolution seam first, and a spec pins it — Android verified itself clean and added the same pin as fe90214a); the sync transport clears cache-bust marks only on ok-classified responses; CJS cache keys keep their extension (require('./config.json') after require('./config.js') no longer returns the JS module); query-suffixed static imports resolve from local referrers; replacing a live registry key unhooks facades and index entries exactly like eviction (one shared path); no empty-handle ThrowException; failed addon require throws; require failures rethrow the original error unchanged (class and properties survive); worker .mjs entries lose the 6-line preamble that shifted stack numbers and collided with a module-scope const self.

Principle / parity cleanups

  • Webpack residue deleted — the chunk-install hook resolved its hardcoded path with no referrer, so it only ever worked at exactly /app/runtime.mjs. The runtime is grep-clean of bundler strings again; the client-side replacement is catalogued for the tooling authors.
  • Rejection detail is loud and identical in both buildsModule evaluation promise rejected: <path> — <reason>, while the original error object's identity survives every rethrow boundary (armed on the isolate, captured by the exception).
  • The boot backstop evicts the entry and throws its documented fatals instead of logging and limping past them; the failure contract is now written in the module reference.
  • The fetch-yield complex is deleted (matching Android): no caller ever registered a yield, and the built-in one fired after the synchronous fetch it claimed to overlap.
  • importMap serialization goes through v8::JSON (tamper-immune; a throwing toJSON propagates); import.meta.dirname derives from the same base-stripped path import.meta.url reports; assorted doc/comment corrections.
  • Three defects Android reported beyond the catalogue, all confirmed and fixed here: classic and ES-module code caches shared one blob key and rejected-and-overwrote each other on alternating loads (now .cache/.mcache); fetch completions are contained at the ObjC dispatch boundary (exactly-once transport-error conversion); a collapsed http:/ scheme is repaired before every scheme test so registration, probing, eviction and bust marks share one identity regardless of which door a URL arrives through.
  • Termination: the pumps consult a requested-termination flag alongside IsExecutionTerminating — the V8 probe alone never fires for a graph parked with no queued work (TerminateExecution only sets an interrupt that materializes when JS next runs). Android confirmed the hole was shared and landed the converged fix as android@e11c9c30. Investigation also established that worker.terminate() cannot reach a worker parked inside its entry at all (the isolate is published only after entry evaluation returns), and forcing early delivery wedges teardown — a worker-lifecycle defect documented at the Terminate site and tracked in worker.terminate() is a no-op during entry evaluation, and terminating there wedges teardown #445 rather than half-fixed here.
  • Two pump-timer contract specs ported from android#1965 — porting them surfaced a real platform divergence, documented in the specs: on iOS, a pumping require started inside the shared JS-timer's own CFRunLoopTimer callback can never observe another timer fire (CFRunLoopTimer does not re-enter); Android's pumpRunLoop drains its ordered lane directly and has no such constraint. Whether iOS should adopt the drain shape is recorded in android#2020 as a joint pump-contract decision.

Deliberately not touched

The shared cross-platform items (require-facade under sync-strict, validatePumpingOptions prototype reads, the createRequire file: parser vs node:url, the JSON __proto__ wrap, the per-isolate graph-work counter) are tracked in android#2020 as cross-platform decisions; unresolved as of this writing; not fixed unilaterally. The bundle.js app-root check predates the dev loader and is the historic app-bundle contract, not tooling vocabulary — left in place.

Suite: 1323 specs, 0 failures at every commit boundary (baseline 1309 at branch base; +11 Stage A specs, +3 Stage B).

…bugs)

Fixes the fourteen defects the Android parity port surfaced in the
loader (#443, Bugs section):

- a worker entry whose top-level await rejects no longer has its
  rejection swallowed by a shared settle handler: the rejection takes
  the web's order - worker-scope onerror first (truthy return stops
  propagation, a throwing handler's own error propagates), then the
  parent Worker's error event
- the five .Check() sites in dynamic import become
  FromMaybe/reject-with-reason; a namespace whose then binding is in
  TDZ (import cycle) rejects instead of CHECK-aborting the process
- all three pump loops bail when execution is terminating instead of
  spinning to their deadline and throwing from a terminating isolate
- the native layer re-validates deadlineSeconds (positive finite), so
  a bypassed mint cannot arm an infinite pump
- the dynamic-import failure tail carries the response classifier's
  failureReason (URL and cause) into the rejection and no longer leaks
  a pending exception alongside it
- dynamic import resolves once, through the shared resolution seam,
  with the referrer's registry key derived from the script origin via
  that same seam - the second, scope-less import-map pass is gone, and
  scopes now genuinely apply to import() from local modules (the
  origin-vs-registry-key mismatch had silently disabled them)
- the sync transport clears a pending cache-bust mark only on an
  ok-classified response, matching the async path and the contract
- CJS cache keys keep their extension, so require('./config.json')
  after require('./config.js') no longer returns the JS module
- a query-suffixed static import from a local referrer resolves (the
  query is stripped in the shared seam; HTTP keeps its query)
- replacing a live registry key unhooks the previous occupant exactly
  like eviction does (facades and identity-index entries no longer
  leak per HMR reload) via one shared SetRegisteredModule path
- ThrowException is never handed a possibly-empty handle
- a failed Node-API addon require throws instead of returning
  undefined
- require failures are rethrown unchanged, preserving the original
  error's class and properties; resolution context stays as a log line
- worker .mjs entries lose the 6-line preamble that shifted stack
  line numbers and collided with an entry's own const self
RegisterHttpFetchYield had no callers, and the built-in yield fired
after the synchronous fetch it claimed to overlap - the cold-boot
repaint it promised never happened. Removes the register/invoke pair,
the boot-evaluation depth thread-local and its RAII scope, and the
boot pump helper. The worker drain guard this pump was cited by keeps
its real justification and now says so: the queue source is armed
before the worker isolate exists, and the entry's pumped graph load
spins that same runloop.
The principle/parity section of #443, plus three defects the Android
side reported beyond the catalogue:

- the webpack chunk-install hook is gone (bundler vocabulary; it
  resolved its hardcoded path with no referrer, so it only ever worked
  at exactly /app/runtime.mjs)
- a module evaluation rejection now throws the same spliced
  "<path> - <reason>" detail in both builds while preserving the
  original error's identity: the reason is armed on the isolate and
  captured by the exception, so its class and properties survive every
  boundary that rethrows
- the boot backstop evicts the entry and throws its documented fatals
  instead of logging and limping on
- importMap serialization goes through v8::JSON (tamper-immune; a
  throwing toJSON propagates as the caller's error)
- import.meta.dirname derives from the same base-stripped path that
  import.meta.url reports
- classic and ES module code caches are keyed distinctly (.cache /
  .mcache): both compiles shared one blob, and each kind
  rejected-and-overwrote the other's on alternating loads
- fetch completions are contained at the ObjC dispatch boundary - an
  escape converts to a transport-error result, delivered exactly once
- a collapsed http:/ scheme is repaired before every scheme test, so
  registration, probing, eviction and cache-bust marks share one
  identity no matter which door a URL arrives through
- the three pump loops bail on a requested-termination flag alongside
  IsExecutionTerminating, which alone never fires for a graph parked
  with no queued work; terminate() still cannot reach a worker parked
  inside its entry at all, which is a worker-lifecycle defect tracked
  separately
- comment and doc corrections, two ported pump-timer contract specs
  (documenting that a CFRunLoopTimer callback cannot observe another
  timer while pumping), and a collapsed-scheme identity spec

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now stops boot and module evaluation on termination, evicts failed entries, preserves original errors, repairs HTTP identities, separates script caches, hardens dynamic imports, and propagates worker entry rejections through worker and parent handlers. Tests and documentation cover these behaviors.

Changes

Runtime boot and termination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Boot termination and fatal entry handling
NativeScript/NativeScript.mm, NativeScript/runtime/Runtime.*, NativeScript/runtime/ModuleInternal.mm, NativeScript/runtime/ModuleInternalCallbacks.mm, TestRunner/app/tests/CreateRequireTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/esm/createrequire/*, docs/ns-builtin-modules.md
Boot polling and module graph evaluation stop when termination is active or requested. Failed main entries are evicted before NativeScriptException is thrown.
URL identity and fetch failure handling
NativeScript/runtime/HttpLoader.*, NativeScript/runtime/ModuleInternalCallbacks.mm, TestRunner/app/tests/HttpEsmLoaderTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/esm/scoped/inside/dynamic.mjs
Collapsed HTTP schemes are repaired before canonicalization. Cache-bust generations survive in-flight retries. Async response failures and dynamic-import failures preserve rejection reasons.
Module evaluation and script cache separation
NativeScript/runtime/ModuleInternal.*, NativeScript/runtime/Runtime.mm, NativeScript/runtime/js/primordials.js, TestRunner/app/tests/LoaderHardeningTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/loaderhardening/*, docs/ns-builtin-modules.md
Classic and ES module code caches use separate suffixes. Require and ESM evaluation preserve error identity and context. Deadline, query, TDZ, import-map, and registry behavior have regression coverage.
Worker entry rejection propagation
NativeScript/runtime/DataWrapper.h, NativeScript/runtime/Worker.*, NativeScript/runtime/WorkerWrapper.mm, TestRunner/app/tests/EventLoopTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/esmEntry*.mjs
Worker entry fulfillment and rejection use separate callbacks. Rejections invoke worker onerror handling and reach the parent only when unhandled.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d1a38

This PR changes loader and worker error, termination, dynamic import, and cache behavior, but the current head still has paths that can skip fatal handling, lose import failures, mis-handle termination, crash on empty exception state, or serve stale module content after invalidation. These are merge-blocking correctness and runtime risks that should be fixed before merging.

A rabbit watched the loaders run,
Through cached moons and URLs spun.
“Stop when asked,” the rabbit said,
“Keep each error’s proper thread.”
The burrowed tests now guard the gate.

Preserve a cache-bust generation for each fetch. A fetch observes only set membership. If MarkKeysForCacheBust runs again before that fetch calls ClearCacheBustForKey, the old fetch erases the newer invalidation. The next fetch can then reuse stale CFNetwork data.

Document the third fatal boot outcome.

This paragraph names two fatal outcomes. NativeScript.mm now reports three: Lines 104-105 add boot ended with execution terminating before the main entry settled, which also evicts the entry and throws. A reader who sees that message finds no matching entry here.

Six findings from review, one ordering rule reconciled across both
runtimes:

- a collapsed scheme inside a file:// wrapper (file://http:/host)
  matched neither unwrap test and kept a second registry identity; the
  unwrap now matches the one-slash forms and repairs the remainder
- termination outranks a settled result at every pump head: handing a
  caller a settled namespace sends it on to run more JS on an isolate
  V8 has been told to stop, so the evaluate pump, the graph-load pump
  and the boot backstop all report termination even when settlement
  races it - but the registry entry is evicted only while the promise
  is still pending, because a fulfilled module is complete and
  discarding its result is not a reason to unregister it (the same
  rule now holds on the Android runtime)
- the JSON re-registration branch erased a registry entry without
  unhooking its facades and identity-index entries - the one surviving
  bypass of the shared unhook
- cache-bust marks carry a generation: a fetch clears only the mark it
  observed, so an invalidation that arrives while a fetch is in flight
  is not erased by that fetch's completion; the retry carries its own
  generation since its nonce is the one on the wire
- the worker rejection reporter read a possibly-empty handle before
  its own emptiness guard; one guard now covers every read
- the app-entries doc names all three fatal boot outcomes and their
  priority

All six findings addressed in d1a3822 — five applied as proposed, one implemented differently for a reason worth recording.

Applied as proposed

  • Wrapped collapsed scheme (HttpLoader.mm): confirmed — file://http:/host/x matched neither unwrap test and kept a second registry identity. The unwrap now tests the one-slash forms (which subsume the two-slash ones) and repairs the remainder. Spec added.
  • JSON branch bare erase: confirmed — the one surviving bypass of the shared unhook. Routed through UnindexRegisteredModule; swept every registry.erase site, no other survivors.
  • Empty reason handle: structurally valid, though not currently reachable (the sole caller substitutes a default Error when the handler receives no argument). Unified under one guard anyway, since the function's own emptiness test concedes the case.
  • Cache-bust generation race: confirmed. The set made re-marking an already-marked key a no-op, so an in-flight fetch's clear erased the newer invalidation. Now a key→generation map with compare-and-clear; the generation is carried through the sync attempt, its retry, and the async completion, and a clear only fires when the stored generation still matches the one that fetch observed. Not spec-covered: the effect is at the CFNetwork layer and there is no debug hook for the mark set — adding public surface purely for a test wasn't a trade worth making, so this one rests on inspection.
  • Doc fatal count: now names all three outcomes, plus their priority.

Implemented differently: the pump ordering

The posted patch (settled-state before termination) was not applied. The Android runtime's parity port hit the mirror image of this finding in its own pump — its reviewer flagged that probing settlement first returns a settled result to a caller that then runs more JS (queue enable, message drains) on an isolate TerminateExecution has already been called on. Both findings have a valid kernel, and they point in opposite directions.

The reconciliation now implemented on both runtimes: termination outranks settlement, but eviction is conditioned on promise state. At every pump head, a termination seen — by either signal — throws the message-only termination exception, settled or not, so no namespace reaches a caller that would keep running JS. Inside that branch the promise state is probed, not consumed: a still-pending promise means a genuinely half-evaluated module and is evicted, while an already-settled one is left registered, since a fulfilled module is complete and discarding its unused result is no reason to unregister it. That last part is this finding's kernel, preserved.

Applying the rule surfaced the same hazard at two more sites the finding didn't cover: the graph-load pump consumed *done in its loop condition, and the boot backstop tested pending-ness before termination — both restructured so termination gets the last word.

Suite: 1324 specs, 0 failures.

64-72: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Handle an entry that rejects before the polling loop.

PollMainEntryEvaluation can return kRejected after the initial drain. The code records only entryPending, so Line 69 skips the fatal path when graph work is also complete. Boot then returns without evicting the failed entry or throwing NativeScriptException.

Store the initial state, initialize entryRejected from it, and enter fatal handling for an initial rejection or termination.

Proposed fix
-  bool entryPending = runtime_->PollMainEntryEvaluation(&entryRejectionReason) ==
-                      tns::EntryEvaluationState::kPending;
-  bool entryRejected = false;
+  const auto initialState = runtime_->PollMainEntryEvaluation(&entryRejectionReason);

- Around line 64-72: Update the initialization around PollMainEntryEvaluation to
retain its returned EntryEvaluationState and set entryRejected when the initial
state is kRejected. Ensure the subsequent handling path treats either an initial
rejection or termination as fatal, evicts the failed entry, and throws
NativeScriptException instead of returning normally.

In `@NativeScript/runtime/ModuleInternalCallbacks.mm`:
- Around line 3227-3235: Update the module-&gt;Evaluate(context) failure path to
capture the original exception via v8::TryCatch or module-&gt;GetException(),
clear the pending exception before calling resolver-&gt;Reject, and remove the
failed module from the registry using its canonical registry key. Preserve the
existing diagnostic context and promise-return flow around the dynamic-import
evaluation failure.
