Summary

  • Add devlog unit 260822_260822-bun14-followup-memory (docs only): from the Bun 1.4.0 bundled-runtime viewpoint, which additional memory patches are possible and worthwhile.
  • 000_research.md: Tier-2-proven claim ledger — no 1.4.x patch release after v1.4.0; upstream fixes PR #36467 (TLS serve UAF), #32662/#35093 (fetch abort body release) verified as ancestors of bun-v1.4.0 (already bundled); issue #34917 (JSC heap caps silently ignored) still open, so app-side bounding remains the only option; local probes on bundled 1.4.0 confirm Bun.gc, heapStats().extraMemorySize, Bun.unsafe.mimallocDump, and worker smol:true all work.
  • 010: expose extraMemorySize in /api/system/memory + watchdog samples (sync-safe static bun:jsc import).
  • 020: measurement-first GC-relief evaluation honoring the 260731 allocator-residual gate (harness-only SIGUSR2 GC cells, separated RSS/latency arms), with a conditional idle-gated production hook only on gate PASS.
  • 030: smol:true for history/restore/policy workers, gated on per-worker large-fixture A/B.
  • 040: macmini-cf live measurement protocol.
  • Adversarial plan audit ran 5 rounds (sol reviewer); all findings folded into the docs.

Verification

  • bun run privacy:scan — passed ("Privacy scan passed").
  • bun x tsc --noEmit — exit 0 (docs-only change; no src/tests touched).
  • Claim-ledger proofs: gh api repos/oven-sh/bun/releases, gh api repos/oven-sh/bun/pulls/{36467,32662,35093}, gh api repos/oven-sh/bun/compare/bun-v1.4.0...SHA — status "behind" for all three.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7a0fb

This documentation-only PR does not change runtime behavior, but its roadmap could lead to incorrect backend dispatch assumptions, invalid Bun comparisons, noisy worker-memory decisions, or unsafe GC experiment behavior if implemented as written. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded correctness and measurement-safety issues.

Reviewed exact head 7a0fb255dd951b7696a2f5dbb411f3588788bc7f. The research/measurement-first direction is useful, but I am requesting two documentation-hygiene fixes before this parent PR lands:

  1. Today is August 21, 2026, while 000_research.md says Date: 2026-08-22 and describes the ledger as “today”. Either date the current evidence August 21, 2026, or explicitly label August 22 as a planned/future work unit and remove the present-tense “today” claim. The current text presents a future date as completed current evidence.

  2. git diff --check origin/dev...HEAD fails on all ten added Markdown files because each adds an extra blank line at EOF. Please remove the trailing blank lines so the exact patch is clean.

Stack-order note: #2302 contains runtime code and currently targets this docs branch. Please land this docs-only parent first, then retarget/rebase #2302 onto dev and run the normal exact-head code CI. Merging #2302 into the parent before #2301 lands would let runtime changes ride through the docs PR without the required dev CI boundary.

## Not in wp2

Executors (180) — planVisionSidecar keeps its current arms; a persisted
xai/gemini backend without an executor cannot be SELECTED at runtime yet, so
wp2 lands options+gate first with resolveVisionBackend still collapsing
unknown-to-executor backends to the legacy default order. planVisionSidecar
gains its arms in wp3 in the same push train (dev gets both before release).

- GET /api/sidecar-settings on live :10100 shows visionModels containing
xai/gemini rows (auth present on this machine for both — web-search rows
prove it).
- PUT vision {backend:"xai", model:"grok-4.3"} → 200; PUT model grok-4
(bare) → 400 provably-blind; restore original settings after proof.
- GUI screenshot of the vision dropdown listing Grok/Gemini rows.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add an end-to-end describe check to live proof.

GET, PUT, and the screenshot verify catalog data and configuration validation. They do not verify that planVisionSidecar selects xAI or Gemini and that executeDescription calls the new executor. Web-search rows also do not prove vision dispatch. Send a minimal image-description request through each backend and verify a successful backend-specific result before release.

Correct the snapshot date or mark this ledger as future-dated.

The ledger says Date: 2026-08-22 and asks for “today's viewpoint”, but the review date is August 21, 2026. A future-dated evidence ledger makes the release-status claims and audit provenance difficult to reproduce. Use August 21, 2026, or state that this is a planned August 22 snapshot.

Use one representation for unavailable JSC data.

The API plan converts a missing or non-numeric extraMemorySize to 0, while the watchdog fields are optional and remain undefined when introspection fails. src/cli/doctor.ts could then display a measured-looking zero even though the value is unavailable. Use an omitted or nullable field in both surfaces and render it only when numeric.

Proposed payload change
       jscHeap = {
         heapSize: stats.heapSize,
         heapCapacity: stats.heapCapacity,
         objectCount: stats.objectCount,
-        extraMemorySize: typeof stats.extraMemorySize === "number" ? stats.extraMemorySize : 0,

Add a test for the CLI consumer.

The plan changes the producer in src/server/management/system-routes.ts and the consumer in src/cli/doctor.ts, but the test list names only watchdog and system-route tests. Add doctor coverage for numeric, missing, and nullable fields. Share one response type or generated schema if the project already has one.

Make GC relief failure-safe and retryable. Bound the parent wait and handle child exit; if the child cannot complete Bun.gc(true), emit a failed gc record instead of waiting indefinitely. Update lastReliefAt and reliefCount only after a successful GC call, and add a throw-once test proving that the next eligible tick retries.

- Idle gate: relief only when `getActiveTurnCount() === 0`
(src/server/lifecycle.ts:263 — existing export, no new seam needed). Defer
while busy; re-check next tick.
- Rate limit: OWN `lastReliefAt` (decoupled from lastWarnAt so warn cadence
never suppresses first relief), floor 30min.

Define the GC relief guarantee for non-turn work.

getActiveTurnCount() counts only turnGate.metrics().active (src/server/lifecycle.ts:263). Admitted response streams are already counted because trackStreamLifetime() binds them to the turn lease (src/server/lifecycle.ts:373-405), and WebSocket frames acquire a turn lease. Other registries, including background shells and storage workers, remain separate. Either include relevant latency-sensitive parent-thread work in the idle predicate or document and test the turn-idle-only guarantee in devlog/_plan/260822_260822-bun14-followup-memory/020_watchdog_gc_relief.md:56-60.

For each worker (history, restore, policy): build a large fixture (≥100MB
aggregate rows / large rollout set), run the job smol-off vs smol-on ×3,
record peak RSS (Subprocess/process sampling), elapsed wall time, completion
status. Acceptance to land each call site: completion success, elapsed within
+25% of baseline, peak RSS reduced. A worker failing the gate keeps its
full-size heap and the doc records the numbers — partial landing (subset of
the three call sites) is an acceptable outcome.

Make the smol gate measure a real and reproducible RSS reduction.

The workers are short-lived, but Lines 24-27 only specify Subprocess/process sampling. Periodic samples can miss the worker's actual peak RSS. The gate also accepts any reduction after three runs, so sampler noise can enable smol incorrectly.

Run each cell in an isolated fresh process and capture its maximum RSS from process start through termination. If periodic sampling is required, define an interval that covers the worker lifetime. Record the median and spread for all runs, and define a minimum reduction above measurement error before testing. Document each worker's fixture shape separately. At Line 44, describe the fixtures as portable; the RSS results remain host- and sampler-dependent.

Also applies to: 43-44

Pin and assert Bun identity in every measurement arm. Launch each Bun 1.3.14 and Bun 1.4.0 arm explicitly, then record and validate Bun.version, Bun.revision, runtime source, platform, and architecture for every A/B or matched pair before collecting or comparing results. Reject any pair that does not use the intended Bun 1.4.0 runtime.

지금 dev HEAD c0cbe494e는 Bun 1.4.0 번들 + v2.29.0 태그 + v2.30.0-preview.20260821. 런타임 패치 아님. 이 PR은 데브로그만. 유닛 260822_260822-bun14-followup-memory. 000 리서치: 1.4.0 이후 패치 릴리스 없음. 업스트림 TLS UAF #36467, fetch abort #32662/#35093는 1.4.0 조상. JSC heap cap #34917은 여전히 열림. 앱 쪽 바운딩만. 로컬 프로브가 Bun.gc / heapStats().extraMemorySize / mimallocDump / worker smol:true를 확인. 010이 extraMemorySize 관측. 020이 260731 게이트를 지키는 측정 우선 GC. 030 smol 워커. 040 macmini 측정. 플랜이 PR-A(010, base dev) 스택을 말함.

실제 스택이 문서랑 다름. 이 PR(#2301)이 문서만 dev에 올림. #2302가 010 구현인데 base가 dev가 아니라 codex/bun14-followup-memory-docs. 문서 머지가 구현보다 앞. 그 자체는 괜찮음. 근데 260820_sidecar_selection_unification 비전 문서 4개가 같이 들어옴. 160_vision_external_research.md 170_vision_backend_union.md 180_vision_describe_executors.md 190_vision_surfaces_and_delivery.md. CodeRabbit 요약이 비전 백엔드로 읽음. Bun 1.4 메모리 유닛이 아님. #2188 L1–L9 사이드카는 이미 dev. 비전 확장은 다른 레인. 이 PR에 타면 리뷰/히스토리가 섞임.

src/tests 0. bun x tsc --noEmit만. 프라이버시 스캔 통과. 스키마 아님. types.ts/config.ts 안 만짐. 스플릿 안 씹힘. 리베이스하지 말고 닫으라는 케이스 아님. 닫을 중복 아님. 프리뷰 배포 아님. x_search 넣지 말 것. Grok OAuth Chat 기본(#2255)/GUI 옵트인 Responses(#2266)/#2283이랑 다른 레인임. 카탈로그는 그대로 Ox Alpha x-preview-f-free + deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp. 문서 PR이라 43. 구현 우선순위는 #2302.

문서 유닛 자체는 맞음. 측정 우선·게이트 전 프로덕션 GC 훅 금지·smol A/B 게이트가 260731이랑 맞음. 5라운드 감사 흔적이 플랜에 남아 있음. 비전 4파일만 빼면 머지해도 됨. #2302를 이 브랜치 위에 둔 건 플랜의 "PR-A base dev"랑 어긋남. 문서를 먼저 넣는 스택이면 플랜 문구를 그에 맞게 고쳐라.

해결방안: 메모리 유닛 문서만 남겨라. 비전 160–190은 이 PR에서 빼서 sidecar 유닛 후속. #2302는 이 문서 브랜치 위임. 문서 머지 후 010 구현을 dev에 리베이스하지 말고, 이 PR이 먼저 들어가게 해라. 020 프로덕션 GC 훅은 게이트 PASS 전 금지. 플랜 문구대로. 스플릿이랑 무관. 지금은 그 정도 아님.
