Fixes #24077

Problem

• A server build (bun build --target=bun, Bun.build, --compile) builds the page of an HTML import with the server's options: error: Browser build cannot require() Node.js builtin: "fs", or a chunk that keeps import path from "node:path".
• initialize_client_transpiler (src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:1964) clones the server transpiler and derives again only the target, main fields and conditions.

Fix

• TargetOptions::init derives the options of a target for from_api and Transpiler::for_target, which also builds the define table again.
• The page gets the browser's conditions and main fields, plus development outside production. --conditions and --main-fields stay with the server.
• Verified: 33 new tests in test/bundler/html-import-manifest.test.ts (29 fail on main) and 2 in bundler_html_server.test.ts (both fail).
• Self-reviewed: 21 concerns raised, all addressed.

Background

• An HTML import adds a browser graph to a server build. Each graph has a transpiler: options, resolver, define table.
• Considered three resolver flags set in place (Update client transpiler options for browser support #28272): defines and externals stay stale.

Downsides

• The build now fails when a page reaches bun:*, an unpolyfilled Node builtin, or an export its polyfill lacks. Bun.serve already rejects such a page.
• Without --production the page now matches development: esm-env resolves to true.js, not dev-fallback.js. Left for resolver: keep every main field of a package.json in the shared cache, select per resolver #46652: the string browser field of a package that the server imports too.
• node:crypto in a page: 87 to 920,678 bytes. A JSON define leaks 36.5 bytes per array element per Bun.build with a page, 18.5 before. Per process: configure_defines +26 instructions.

Notes

Repro (also the repository from the issue, and the JSZip one from #21128):

server.ts    import page from "./index.html"; console.log(typeof page);
index.html   <!doctype html><script type="module" src="./client.ts"></script>
client.ts    import path from "node:path"; console.log(path.join("a", "b"), process.browser);

bun build --target=bun server.ts --outdir out     # the page's chunk
bun build index.html --outdir control             # what it has to be

Before: the chunk keeps import path from "node:path" and prints false. A dependency with require("fs"), or one that needs its package.json browser map (socket.io-client, axios, pglite), fails the build. After: the chunk is byte-identical to the control.

What was stale on the page

State	Where it is derived	Before
define table (process.browser, bun's window)	load_defines	the server's: configure_defines() returned at once on the clone
node polyfills (polyfill_node_globals)	from_api	off
package.json browser maps (care_about_browser_field)	Resolver::init1	off
builtins as externals	BundleV2::init	on
externals seeded for --target=node	init_external_modules	kept
development condition	the build command, the compile command, Bun.build	dropped
.node loader and extension order of bun	from_api	kept
main_fields_is_default with --main-fields	resolver projection	the server's

The page's contract. The page resolves packages and replaces defines as bun build page.html does: the defaults of the browser target, with development unless the build is for production. --conditions, --main-fields and the node-addons condition pick a package's entry point for the server. They did not reach the page before and do not now. A first version of this change sent them to the page. With the documented --conditions=react-server --target=bun, that made a React page throw at load. --define, --external, --loader and --extension-order apply to both graphs, as before. The page copies the external paths that the server resolved: a path is relative to the cwd when the build starts, and a plugin can change the cwd before the bundler reaches the page.

development. On main the page was the one graph without it. The server graph and bun build page.html add it when the build is not for production. Now a package with a development export gives the page that file. A package whose development file is not published fails to resolve, as it does in the other two (#16904, #22589). --production, NODE_ENV=production or a process.env.NODE_ENV define turn the condition off.

Builds that now fail. The page is a browser build. A module that it reaches cannot import bun:*, a Node builtin with no polyfill (child_process), or an export that the polyfill lacks (fileURLToPath of node:url). That includes a module that the server also imports, and an import that only server code uses. On main such an import stayed in the page chunk, or tree shaking removed it. The same page fails in bun build page.html and under Bun.serve from source. The errors now end with This file is loaded by an HTML file, so it is bundled for the browser. Use this import only in files that no HTML file loads. On main, a page that imports child_process got set target to 'node' or 'bun'. A plain browser build and bake keep their text. A package.json "browser": { "bun:sqlite": false } map now removes such an import for the page only.

CLI --compile --target=browser page.html. The CLI builds it with a transpiler for bun, so it takes the same path. A page that imports events now builds (on main: Browser build cannot import Node.js builtin: "events"). A page that imports bun:sqlite now fails (on main it built, with the import left in). #39245 still owns the compile-target defines (process.platform) and the CSS targets. Bun.build({ compile: true, target: "browser" }) does not change.

--compile --aot (#45631, which merged after this PR opened). An --aot build bundles its pages with a second bundle (src/bundler/aot/page_bundles.rs). That bundle reaches the same initialize_client_transpiler, so it needs no change of its own. Checked by hand on a debug build of this branch, with the repro above as a Bun.serve route: the page chunk that the plain executable serves and the one that the --aot executable serves both have no node:path import and fold process.browser to true. report_unsupported_options in src/bundler/aot/options.rs names every BundleOptions field, so the new main_fields_is_default is classified there, beside main_fields. The command of --aot (src/runtime/cli/compile_command/configuration.rs) had a copy of the build command's development block. It calls append_development_condition now, as the build command and Bun.build do.

Define table of the page. for_target builds it with load_defines, as configure_defines does for the server. One function decides process.browser and bun's window. The cost: a value that is not a literal is parsed a second time. DefineData::parse never frees the list storage of an array or object value, also on main. So a Bun.build with a page leaks it twice: 370 KB to 731 KB per build for an array of 20,000 elements. The second parse runs deeper in the stack. In Bun.build, a JSON value nested 1,757 to 1,773 levels deep parsed for the server and not for the page. That is a build error: JSON document is too deeply nested, then Could not bundle "./client.html" for the browser: a "define" value did not parse for its scripts, with a note that says why and what to do. The bundler skips the HTML file and goes on, so every parse task finishes before the build fails. Out of memory there is a crash, as on main. load_defines reports to the log that its caller passes, and BundleOptions::log_mut is gone. No caller had the two logs differ. Transpiler::for_target moves the messages of a failed parse to the log of the transpiler it copies, with log_mut(). It has no unsafe dereference of its own.

process.env.BUN_ENV. A user process.env.NODE_ENV define sets production after the define table is built. A second table built from the same options then got another default. load_defines no longer reads production in that case. No existing caller changes: gdb shows production=false at the first call and true at the second.

Other designs

• Update client transpiler options for browser support #28272 sets three resolver flags in initialize_client_transpiler. The define table, externals, loaders and extension order stay the server's.
• A second Transpiler::init for the browser has to replay what build_command and configure_bundler assign afterwards, and it runs the env loader while parse workers read it.
• A copy of the server's define table with the target's entries swapped parses nothing twice. It puts the list of those entries in a second place.

Found, not changed here

• A package that the server and the page both import loses its string browser field on the page. The package.json cache keeps only the main fields of the first resolver that reads a file. resolver: keep every main field of a package.json in the shared cache, select per resolver #46652 fixes that. It supersedes resolver: read every default main-field name when parsing package.json #35595 (Bun.build (with target browser) produces nodejs target if the dependency is imported in the same script that runs Bun.build #14253). Until then the page gets the main file of such a package, as on main. What differs is what happens to the Node builtins of that file. A require("fs") there was a build error on main. It is an empty stub now, so that build passes with the main file in the page. A require("child_process") is a build error in both. This PR deletes the dead Target::default_main_fields and its MAIN_FIELD_NAMES table, so this PR and resolver: keep every main field of a package.json in the shared cache, select per resolver #46652 conflict in src/ast/target.rs and src/bundler/options.rs. The second of the two to merge resolves that.
• Bake builds its server and SSR transpilers for the browser and then assigns Target::Bun. A server route gets impl-browser.js and the browser main field of a package. The bun test --changed scan does the same and misses the test behind a package.json browser map. The fix there is to pass the target to Transpiler::init. That changes how bake resolves, so it is not in this PR: bake: build the server and SSR transpilers for bun #46702 does it for bake, and resolver: keep every main field of a package.json in the shared cache, select per resolver #46652 corrects the main fields of the --changed scan.
• The runtime helpers of the page still come from the server's runtime module (bundler: give the browser side of a server build its own runtime module #46272, for HTML imports: --target=bun/--compile bundles the entry's client scripts for the bun target, folding esbuild's typeof require guard into a bare require (ReferenceError in the browser) #45227, which adds one line in initialize_client_transpiler next to a line this PR removes). Under --target=node, a page dependency that calls require() still starts with import { createRequire } from "node:module". The linker and the CSS printer still use the server's target (css: print a stylesheet with the targets StyleSheet::minify recorded #39251 for CSS).
• An HTML file that comes from files: or through an onResolve plugin is not a page on every path (bundler: bundle HTML entry points for the browser on every entry path of a server build #38594, bundler: resolve files imports through the shared steps (HTML import manifest, url assets) #38605, bundler: copy HTML url assets resolved through files: or an onResolve plugin #38635, bundler: resume the shared resolve pass for imports that went to onResolve plugins #45408).
• BundleOptions.log has one reader left.

Syscalls are gdb catch syscall on the file syscalls: strace, perf and valgrind are not installed here. RSS growth is over 200 builds after 40 warm-up builds, with Bun.gc(true) before each reading. TargetOptions::init (5,028 B) and load_defines (5,239 B) are now out of line: 2 added direct calls per process. Transpiler::init goes from 11,895 to 6,883 B and configure_defines from 6,099 to 831 B. The 6 pairs that are not identical differ only in runtime helper lines (__jsonParse, __require).

Self-review. Round 1: --conditions and --main-fields reached the page (removed, and tests now pin that they do not), the node-addons condition left every --target=browser build (removed), the package.json cache change repeated #35595 (removed), the change to bake server graphs and to the --changed scan (removed), the title said more than the change does, and the body did not name what is left for #46272, #39245 and #35595. Round 2: the linker's polyfill messages tested the server's target (fixed), the page hint named no remedy (it does now), a page define error was a panic (now a build error), stale comments (fixed), missing tests for --extension-order, JSON defines, the other graphs' hints, main_fields_is_default and the standalone HTML of the CLI (added), and this body (the development condition, the wider set of failing builds, the define leak, the CLI standalone change).

Suites: html-import-manifest, bundler_html_server, bundler_html, bundler_browser, bundler_plugin, bundler_env, bundler_edgecase, standalone, esbuild/default, esbuild/packagejson, esbuild/tsconfig, transpiler/transpiler, bun-serve-html, cli/run/env, cli/run/transpiler-cache, test/bake/dev/production, test/bake/dev/bundle. After the merge of main 11c3671, on a debug build: the two test files of this PR (49 pass), bundler_html, bundler_browser, bundler_env, esbuild/packagejson (151 pass), test/aot/load/pages (6 pass), test/aot/build-plugins-pages and test/aot/build-cli-plugins-and-flags (20 pass, 1 fail). The one that fails is --external and --packages external: the suite stops its --aot compile at 240 s, and the local debug build needs 337 s. Without the limit, the executable prints what the test expects. After the merge of main 3f3a9ff (73efdcb), on a debug build: the two test files of this PR (49 pass), bundler_html, bundler_browser, bundler_env, esbuild/packagejson (151 pass) and test/aot/load/pages (6 pass).

Builds on #28272 (the three resolver flags) and #32851 (the load_defines rebuild).

Walkthrough

Target-derived options and target-specific transpilers change how HTML page chunks resolve imports and report diagnostics in server builds. The changes also update define loading, external-path handling, and client-transpiler initialization.

Changes

HTML page browser builds

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Derive bundle settings from the target src/ast/target.rs, src/bundler/options.rs, src/runtime/api/js_bundle_completion_task.rs, src/runtime/cli/build_command.rs, test/bundler/html-import-manifest.test.ts	TargetOptions derives bundle settings such as main fields, conditions, extension order, externals, and browser polyfills. Tests cover main-field and extension-order behavior, as well as copied external paths.
Construct target-specific transpilers and resolvers src/bundler/options.rs, src/bundler/transpiler.rs, src/resolver/resolver.rs, src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs, src/runtime/api/JSTranspiler.rs, test/bundler/html-import-manifest.test.ts	Transpiler::for_target and Resolver::for_target construct target-specific state. Client-transpiler initialization errors are handled in HTML entry-point paths. Tests cover define values and nested defines.
Resolve HTML pages and report page-specific diagnostics src/bundler/LinkerContext.rs, src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs, test/bundler/bundler_html_server.test.ts, test/bundler/html-import-manifest.test.ts	Server-build HTML pages use browser resolution and page-specific diagnostic guidance. Tests cover browser mappings, builtins, page chunks, and diagnostic guidance.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#24077] requires a server build that imports an HTML page to complete without the page using server-only resolver options. The PR creates a browser-target transpiler for the page, rebuilds its define table, enables browser package mappings and polyfills, and keeps server-only conditions and main fields separate. The added tests cover browser mappings and Node builtin handling. The reported ASAN and release test runs passed on the PR.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed option derivation, resolver setup, define loading, browser diagnostics, shared development-condition helper, and related tests support the HTML page browser-graph behavior required by [#24077]. The removed dead target main-field code supports this refactoring. The evidence does not show a demonstrated unrelated change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has both required sections: "What does this PR do?" (Problem, Fix, Background, Downsides, and detailed notes) and "How did you verify your code works?" (new tests, the ASAN and release runs, the suite list, and measurements). It names the linked issue (#24077) and lists the behavior changes and what is deliberately left out. The main weakness is length and density. The Notes section is very long, and some measurement tables and self-review detail go beyond what a reviewer needs to decide. That does not make the required information missing, so the check passes.

Status for #24077.

Reproduced on 1.4.3 and on main with three files:

server.ts    import page from "./index.html"; console.log(typeof page);
index.html   <!doctype html><script type="module" src="./client.ts"></script>
client.ts    import path from "node:path"; console.log(path.join("a", "b"), process.browser);

bun build --target=bun server.ts --outdir out keeps import path from "node:path" in the page's chunk and folds process.browser to false. bun build index.html inlines the polyfill and folds it to true. The repository from the issue fails with Browser build cannot require() Node.js builtin: "fs".

The fix is in this PR (#46548). Its state at 73efdcb:

• The branch has main (3f3a9ff) merged in and has no conflict. This merge had one conflict, in the list of BundleOptions fields of src/bundler/aot/options.rs. The comment of 2026-10-29 lists every merge and how each conflict was resolved. No resolution changes what this PR does.
• Tests on a debug build of 73efdcb: the two test files of this PR (49 pass), bundler_html, bundler_browser, bundler_env and esbuild/packagejson (151 pass), and test/aot/load/pages (6 pass).
• Main added bun build --compile --aot (Compile TypeScript to machine code ahead of time: bun build --compile --aot #45631). That build bundles its pages through the same initialize_client_transpiler. Checked by hand: the plain executable and the --aot executable serve the same browser chunk for the three files above.
• Every review thread is resolved. The automated review of 73efdcb found no issues.
• CI on 73efdcb (build 136422): the tests of this PR pass. 28 test files are red, and none comes from this diff: 27 under test/aot/ and test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts. Main's own build of the merged commit (3f3a9ff, build 136408) is red in the same way: 27 of the 28 files fail there too, and the other one fails on the same assertion as one of them. They test the --aot compiler, module mocks under bun test --aot and ?raw imports, which this PR does not touch. The build is finished: 124 of 189 jobs passed, and every lane ran, macOS included.
• On the head before (3134d32, build 136024), 182 of 188 jobs passed and the tests of this PR passed on every lane. The six jobs that failed had two red tests, and neither comes from this diff: test/aot/engine/ir-6.test.ts on five lanes (it failed on main too) and test/aot/parallel/node-http/objects-closed-in-other-ways.ts on macOS x64. This PR does not touch the --aot compiler or node:http. The mordant check failed there on bun_glob::walk_bun_glob, a function that main added seven commits before its first caller (bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833). This merge has both.
• The PR needs a review from a maintainer. The Downsides section of the PR body lists the behavior changes to decide on.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two refactor-equivalence points and found them behavior-preserving: ResolveFileExtensions::init gating .node on target == Target::Bun matches the old Target::Bun match arm it replaced in from_api (not is_bun(), so BunMacro is unchanged), and the target-sensitive fields left out of TargetOptions (import_path_format, env.behavior, allow_runtime) were already inherited by the browser clone through for_worker before this change. The load_defines gate on user_defines_node_env() only affects the process.env.BUN_ENV default, since a user NODE_ENV define wins via get_or_put_value either way.

Extended reasoning...

The change reworks how a server build's HTML page gets its bundler options (src/bundler/options.rs, transpiler.rs, bundle_v2.rs, resolver.rs) plus the two callers of the development-condition append; no security-sensitive surface. Inline findings are posted separately, so this note only records what else was examined and ruled out.

[robobun]

All four points of the review are done in 55a6014. Each thread has the details.

• Hint. An error in a page of a server build no longer says set target. It says that an HTML file loads the file, so it is a browser build, and where the import belongs.
• External paths. The page copies the external paths that the server resolved. The finding needs no race: a plugin that calls process.chdir() reproduces it every time.
• Dead code. Target::default_main_fields and MAIN_FIELD_NAMES are gone. The mordant check was red on the same function.
• Test. The build process no longer has an unread stdout pipe.

A second pass over the whole diff found more, in 989b7c4 and ce17e6b:

• The linker's two Browser polyfill for module messages tested the server's target. A page that reaches import { fileURLToPath } from "node:url" got No matching export in "node:url". They now test the graph of the importing file.
• The define table of the page is parsed deeper in the stack than the server's. In Bun.build, a JSON define nested 1,757 to 1,773 levels deep was a panic. It is a build error now.
• New tests: --extension-order, JSON defines, main_fields_is_default, the hints of the other graphs, and bun build --compile --target=browser page.html.

The PR body is current. Its Downsides now name the development condition on the page, the wider set of builds that fail, and the define leak. The branch is rebased on main.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟡 test/bundler/html-import-manifest.test.ts — nit: this test cannot fail for the behaviour it is named for: its regex at test/bundler/html-import-manifest.test.ts:572-574 accepts both ok and the "too deep" failure, so a page that silently builds a wrong define table, or the base branch's behaviour, still passes. Fix: make the assertion pin one outcome, for example by asserting on the StackOverflow error only when the bisection found a depth that the plain build accepts and the page build rejects, and otherwise skip with the observed reason, so deleting the ensure_client_transpiler error path breaks a test.

  Why this was flagged

  The test at test/bundler/html-import-manifest.test.ts:539-578 bisects the deepest --define depth a build without a page accepts, then builds server.js with it and asserts stdout matches /^(ok|JSON document is too deeply nested\nFailed to bundle an HTML file for the browser: StackOverflow)\n$/. Both alternatives pass, so the branch under test in ensure_client_transpiler at src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:1966-1972 is never required to run. If the error logging at bundle_v2.rs:1966 were removed and the build returned an empty log, result.success would be true and the test prints ok and passes. The repository review rules require every assertion to be able to fail and a test that passes both ways is called worse than none. On the base branch this test does not exist.

  Verification: The assertion at test/bundler/html-import-manifest.test.ts:1278-1283 is expect.stringMatching(/^(ok|JSON document is too deeply nested\nFailed to bundle an HTML file for the browser: StackOverflow)\n$/), so both the success and the failure outcome satisfy it. On the base branch the page never re-parses the define and prints ok. Which branch is hit is a build/platform property.

The two reviews of ce17e6b are answered in 008cb88 and 7e9780f. Each inline thread has a reply.

• Parse tasks left on the pool. Confirmed. On the previous head, an HTML entry point with a define that is too deep for the page crashed with a segmentation fault on the third Bun.build in one process. The bundler now skips that entry point, as it skips one that does not resolve. No caller returns before wait_for_parse(), and the logged error fails the build. 600 such builds in one process fail cleanly.
• Error message. It names the HTML file, points at the import when there is one, and has a note with the cause and what to do: Could not bundle "./client.html" for the browser: a "define" value did not parse for its scripts. Out of memory in Transpiler::for_target is a crash again, as on main, so this error is always about a define value.
• Test that accepted two outcomes. browser-chunk-define-too-deep-for-the-page-fails-the-build now expects one outcome: the two errors and the note, for an HTML import and for an HTML entry point.
• .node order for Target::ServerComponentsSsr. Not changed. main adds that order only for Target::Bun, and this PR keeps the gate.
• test.concurrent. Not changed. The tests are inside describe.concurrent.

CI on ce17e6b had one failure, test/js/first_party/ws/ws-proxy.test.ts on Windows. This PR does not touch that code.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟣 src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs — pre-existing: an HTML entry point of a target: "bun" build that a plugin's onResolve filter matches, or that comes from Bun.build's files, is still bundled with the server's target, so its scripts keep import path from "node:path" and process.browser is false. Only the disk-resolve branch at src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:3627-3642 switches to Target::Browser and calls ensure_client_transpiler. Fix: decide the page target once for every HTML entry (loader == Html, server-side build, no dev server) and apply it at every enqueue site, which covers the 3 sites listed. Same pattern at 3 sites (src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:3611, src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:5301, src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:5474).

  Why this was flagged

  Bun.build({ entrypoints: ["./index.html"], target: "bun", plugins: [{ setup(b) { b.onResolve({ filter: /.*/ }, () => undefined) } }] }), or the same build with files: { "/index.html": ... }. In enqueue_entry_points_normal, enqueue_entry_point_on_resolve_plugin_if_needed at src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:3599-3605 returns true because plugins.has_any_matches matches the entry, so the loop continues before the HTML check at 3627-3642. The plugin's no-match reply lands in on_resolve at 5292-5308, which calls enqueue_entry_item with target = resolve.import_record.original_target, the server target. The file_map branch at 3608-3618 passes self.transpiler.options.target the same way. enqueue_entry_item (3246) stores that server target on the ParseTask, so the HTML and the <script src> it references are parsed and resolved for Bun: mark_builtins_as_external stays true, process.browser is false. ensure_client_transpiler is never called on these paths. The base branch behaves the same; the new test html-import/html-entry-point-of-a-server-build covers only the disk-resolve branch.

  Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: a target: "bun"/"node" build with an HTML entry point and either a plugin onResolve filter matches it or the entry comes from Bun.build's files map. Only the disk-resolve branch at src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:3627-3642 calls ensure_client_transpiler; the plugin (3599-3605) and FileMap (3608-3618) branches pass the server target, so its <script> imports are transpiled with the server transpiler. The base branch fails the same way.

[robobun]

Both points of the review of 7e9780f:

• HTML entry point through an onResolve plugin or files. Not changed here. It is the same on main, and bundler: bundle HTML entry points for the browser on every entry path of a server build #38594 decides the page target once in enqueue_entry_item for the disk, files and plugin paths. The PR body names it under "Found, not changed here". This PR changes what a detected page gets. It does not change which files are detected.
• String#repeat in the fixture. Done in aa2ce61: the deep value is built with Buffer.alloc(depth, fill).toString().

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Apply browser target selection to file_map HTML entries.

files supports HTML entry points. The current file_map branch enqueues them with self.transpiler.options.target, so a server build keeps the HTML entry server-targeted. enqueue_entry_item then uses that target for resolution, known_target, and the selected transpiler. The page can therefore ignore browser package mappings and skip page-specific browser diagnostics, unlike an equivalent filesystem HTML entry.

@coderabbitai About the files HTML entry point (bundle_v2.rs:3607-3617): not changed in this PR.

main has the same behavior, and it is one of three entry paths with this gap: an entry from files, an entry that a plugin declines, and an entry for which a plugin returns a path. #38594 decides the target of an HTML entry point once in enqueue_entry_item, which covers all three. A patch in the files branch here covers one of them and conflicts with that PR.

This PR changes what a detected page gets. It does not change which files are detected as pages. The PR body lists this under "Found, not changed here".

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the from_api refactor against the old path: the .node extension lists were previously added only in the Target::Bun arm, which matches the new target == Target::Bun in ResolveFileExtensions::init; the !user_defines_node_env() guard in load_defines does not change the CLI --production case because build_command.rs:486 puts NODE_ENV in the env loader, which short-circuits first; and Resolver::init1 derives only care_about_browser_field from the target, so Resolver::for_target covers it. I also traced the three HTML-entry sites: each now calls ensure_client_transpiler and skips the entry on error before any Target::Browser request could reach the remaining panic fallback in transpiler_for_target (src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:257).

Extended reasoning...

The change reworks how the bundler derives the browser-side transpiler for HTML pages in a server build, touching options construction, define-table loading, resolver cloning via unsafe lifetime widening, and linker/resolve error hints, with no security-sensitive surface. It is large and the core paths carry unsafe code and a behavior change (pages now fail on bun:* and unpolyfilled builtins), so a human look remains worthwhile despite the extensive new tests; the items above were checked this run and not previously recorded.

[robobun]

About the review of aa2ce61: the deep-define test now runs 12 builds on the debug build where it ran 22 (0e0fe66). It doubles the depth until a build fails and then bisects, so it has no bound that depends on the platform. The thread has the numbers.

CI on aa2ce61 (build 131226) has one red test, test/js/first_party/ws/ws-proxy.test.ts on Windows. It was red on the earlier builds too, and this PR does not touch that code. The new tests passed on every lane that finished.

[claude]

The pushes since my last pass address what I had raised inline (page-specific builtin hint, dead default_main_fields, externals copied from the server, drained pipes, the HTML path in the define error, Buffer.alloc, a smaller deep-define search), and this run found no bugs. Because the change reshapes how every target-derived BundleOptions field is produced and commits to re-parsing user defines for the page rather than copying the server's table, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• TargetOptions::init against the removed from_api tail: loaders, main fields, conditions (defaults, then node-addons, then user), .node extension order only for Target::Bun with no --extension-order, externals, out_extensions, polyfill_node_globals — same values in the same order.
• for_target/clone_with/Resolver::for_target: the page gets mark_builtins_as_external=false, care_about_browser_field=true, a fresh define table read from the server's env loader, and development only when !production; sync_resolver_opts re-projects after public_path is set.
• The three ensure_client_transpiler sites: each failure logs once and skips the HTML file before the resolve queue is touched; the panic arm in transpiler_for_target is only reachable after a successful ensure.
• The deep-define test: both parses run on the bundle thread, so its exact boundary rests on the page path having a few more frames than configure_bundler -> configure_defines (about 16 nesting levels in the PR's own measurement); deterministic per binary, but a refactor of either call path, or a different inlining decision, could flip it.

Extended reasoning...

The diff (1188 insertions across 11 files) centralizes target-derived bundler options in a new TargetOptions struct, adds BundleOptions::for_target, Transpiler::for_target and Resolver::for_target, rebuilds the define table for the browser graph of a server build, changes load_defines to take an explicit log, and rewrites the builtin-import hints for pages; tests add 33 cases across API/CLI, bun/node, compile and bake. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface, but it does run user define JSON through a second parse on the bundle thread and introduces a new user-facing failure mode that exists only because of stack depth. All prior inline findings were addressed by commits afe2325..0e0fe66 and the bug hunt ended on a dry streak with no findings, but the size, the unsafe lifetime-widening constructors, the chosen re-parse design (the PR lists a copy-the-table alternative), and a test whose exact outcome depends on relative stack layout are decisions a maintainer should weigh rather than an automated approve.

[robobun]

About the note on the deep-define test: the boundary is measured now, and the test no longer depends on the narrow one (04d1b2a).

Build	Deepest value without a page	With an HTML import	With an HTML entry point
debug (ASAN)	113	109	112
release, linux x64	1,773	1,756	1,761

• The HTML import case has 4 levels of margin on the debug build and 17 on a release build. The test still expects exactly the two errors and the note there.
• The HTML entry point case has 1 level of margin on the debug build. A change to either call path can remove it. For that case the test now accepts the two errors and the note, or a build with no errors. In both cases the three builds have to agree and the process has to exit normally, which is what the skipped entry point has to guarantee.

src/bundler/transpiler.rs:268:26: error[E0599]: no method named `append_to_with_recycled` found for struct `bun_ast::Log`

• Main deleted that method in 98a4365 (Fix use-after-free of BuildMessage.position.file: real lifetimes for Source, Path, ImportRecord and resolve results #46834). Log::append_to moves the messages now.
• The merge commit has one edit: repeated.append_to(unsafe { &mut *log }); in place of repeated.append_to_with_recycled(unsafe { &mut *log }, false);. The old call copied the messages and then cleared repeated, so the result is the same.
• cargo check --workspace passes on the merged tree (Linux x64).

src/bundler/aot/options.rs:80:9: error[E0027]: pattern does not mention field `main_fields_is_default`

• Main added src/bundler/aot/options.rs in 8d5672c (Compile TypeScript to machine code ahead of time: bun build --compile --aot #45631). report_unsupported_options names every field of BundleOptions, so that a new field does not compile until it is classified for bun build --compile --aot.
• This PR adds BundleOptions.main_fields_is_default. Commit 9d200f8 adds main_fields_is_default: _ beside main_fields: _, so nothing is reported for it. That is the only edit. The resolver options of --aot come from resolver_bundle_options_subset, which reads the field as it does for every other build.
• cargo check --workspace passes on the merged tree (Linux x64). cargo check --tests passes for bun_bundler, bun_standalone_graph and bun_resolver.

Merged main (da867c6) into this branch in three steps. Main moved while each step was built. Each step had one conflict.

• src/bundler/options.rs: main removed the fs parameter of BundleOptions::from_api, init_external_modules and validate_path (Remove 70 unsafe blocks by borrowing instead of holding raw pointers #47273). This branch had removed the last two already, and it moved the external-module setup of from_api into TargetOptions::init. The merge keeps the ExternalPaths parameter of init_external_modules. from_api keeps its TargetOptions::init call and takes the working directory from Fs::FileSystem::get(), as main does now.
• src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs, initialize_client_transpiler: main made BundleV2::arena return &'a Arena (Remove 166 unsafe blocks by borrowing and by naming the lifetimes that values already have #47291), so the function takes the arena without detach_lifetime_ref. This branch had changed only the comments there. The merge takes main's line.
• src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs, process_resolve_queue: main made the function borrow the path map from graph.build_graphs in place of a raw slot pointer (Remove 74 unsafe blocks from the css parser, the bundler and the JS parser #47317). The merge takes main's code and keeps this branch's ensure_client_transpiler check in front of it.

No resolution changes what this PR does. Tests on a debug build (Linux x64):

• At 0fb7671 (main da867c6): test/bundler/bundler_html_server.test.ts and test/bundler/html-import-manifest.test.ts, 49 pass.
• At the second step, 2d957ee (main 081ace7): the same two files, 49 pass.
• At the first step, 876cc91 (main e64b59d): the same two files (49 pass), bundler_html, bundler_browser, bundler_env and esbuild/packagejson (151 pass), and test/aot/load/pages.test.ts (6 pass).

Later merges:

• 3134d32 (main 34cbc70, 2026-10-31): no conflict.
• 73efdcb (main 3f3a9ff, 2026-11-01): one conflict, in src/bundler/aot/options.rs. report_unsupported_options names every BundleOptions field. Main added react_compiler_filter on the line where this branch added main_fields_is_default. The merge keeps both. Tests on a debug build of 73efdcb: the two test files of this PR (49 pass), bundler_html, bundler_browser, bundler_env and esbuild/packagejson (151 pass), and test/aot/load/pages.test.ts (6 pass).
