September 2025 monthly summary for oven-sh/bun: Key deliverables and impact: - Exposed Module._compile API on the Module prototype to unblock jazzer.js, with tests verifying its assignment from require('module').prototype._compile. - Numeric handling improvements: replaced jsDoubleNumber with jsNumber to leverage NumberTag where possible, and added canBeStrictInt32 for precise conversions. - N-API compatibility improvements: aligned with Node.js semantics for strict_equals (===), hardened napi_call_function usage to prevent crashes, and adjusted boundary handling in napi_create_array_with_length; tests added. - Stability and reliability fixes: Windows package manager temporary directory crash fixed by ensuring getTemporaryDirectory runs once via bun.once, improving thread-safety and manifest serialization; tested thoroughly. - Dependency management robustness: lockfile format upgraded to u64 with migrations, including updated bun.lockb serialization and related version handling; regression tests added. Other: - Documentation improvement: security scanner link updated in bunfig.md for better traceability. Overall, the changes deliver stronger runtime stability, better Node compatibility, and more reliable packaging/install workflows, enabling safer upgrades and smoother CI runs.
