fix: launcher, socket, process and system failures from the OpenJDK sweep - #69
Fixes OpenJDK failures found by a sweep of the test directories CI already runs. About 40 tests join passing.txt.
Launcher and modules
The in-VM java started through ProcessBuilder accepts -m and --module. With a module path, the VM no longer hides modules the main module requires.
-Xbootclasspath/a (directories and jars) and --patch-module for boot modules work.
bin/java is a file in the image.
A failed boot layer prints as HotSpot prints it and exits 1.
Classes defined later for a boot module created at run time, such as a Proxy's dynamic module, land in that module.
Processes and sockets
A socket reports writable after shutdownOutput, so a blocked writer wakes up (AsyncShutdown).
A connected datagram socket reports its local address and can connect again (Sender, AdaptorConnect).
The VM reads a child's remaining output before reporting that it exited, holding up to 16 MB, so the JDK's drain at exit gets all of it (SkipTest).
The java-web command flushes stdout and stderr before it exits.
Unix domain sockets: an empty path binds the unnamed address, and long paths stay within the host's 107-byte limit by binding relative to the working directory. An accepted socket reports its client's name.
VM and system
A stack overflow inside an overflow handler with no headroom left throws a bare StackOverflowError instead of failing the VM (StressStackOverflow).
The ConstantPool natives check the index and entry kind and throw IllegalArgumentException (BadCPIndex).
os.version is the kernel release, and getSystemLoadAverage reads the host's load.
Memory pools and managers have G1's names and shape, as HotSpot's default collector reports them.
A TZ value that is a POSIX rule sets the default time zone with its daylight saving dates (src/posixtz.ts).
Lambda classes go to the JDK's class file dumper when jdk.invoke.LambdaMetafactory.dumpProxyClassFiles is set.
jdk.net and jdk.nio.mapmode are in the image (about 40 KB). Their socket options are kept on the socket and do not reach host sockets. Peer credentials are this process's user and group when the peer is in the same VM, and -1 for a host peer.
kill -QUIT and JW_DUMP_STACKS print thread dumps.
From review
Boot snapshots keep the boot module and appended boot class path package maps. The snapshot format is now 3.
The VM options report UseG1GC, matching the G1 memory managers.
getNameAndTypeRefIndexAt0 rejects a dynamic constant, as HotSpot does.
A failed Unix connect no longer leaves its client name for a later accepted socket.
A datagram connect that throws drops its listener and connected state.
-m or --module with no operand prints the launcher's error. Repeated -Xbootclasspath/a: options all apply.
When a child exits, its pipes are read until they end, merged output included, or for 250 ms when a grandchild holds them, taking at most 1 MB more than the usual hold meanwhile.
POSIX TZ rules with out-of-range days or a malformed time are rejected, as glibc does.
Runs with -Xbootclasspath/a take no boot or warm snapshots, since a snapshot key does not cover those files.
Tests
New: test/launcher.test.ts, test/timezone.test.ts, and the programs OsVersion, MemoryManagers and ConstantPoolErrors, compared with HotSpot. The full suite passes, and so does pnpm typecheck.
Noticed, not fixed
ReadAfterReset: Node destroys a socket when a write fails and drops bytes the kernel still holds.
Starvation, SubmissionTest and ParkLoops cycle park and unpark too slowly to finish in time.
TCP urgent data needs MSG_OOB, which Node does not offer. Multicast join and IPv6 interfaces are not implemented.
FinThreads, FinalizeOverride and Test6397609 need System.gc() to run finalizers or unload classes.
Closing System.out or System.err does not close the host stream, which is why a child's output is held up to 16 MB rather than a pipe's capacity.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added support for launching Java applications from modules, extending the boot class path, and patching modules.
Added thread dumps on SIGQUIT and at intervals configured with JW_DUMP_STACKS.
Added POSIX TZ rule support, additional socket options, and lambda proxy class dumps.
Added module launching through the Node API and an executable Java launcher wrapper.
Bug Fixes
Improved Unix-domain socket handling, datagram reconnections, stack-overflow reporting, and child-process output handling.
Improved compatibility for memory-management reporting, constant-pool errors, load averages, and platform-version information.
Documentation
Clarified module-launch options, thread-dump configuration, and networking support, including unsupported socket behavior.
Tests
Added coverage for launcher behavior, time zones, reflection, and runtime compatibility.
The changes add module launching, boot-class lookup and module patching, and stack-dump support. They update socket behavior, POSIX time-zone handling, JVM native implementations, and child-process output handling. New tests compare selected launcher and time-zone results with HotSpot and add runtime compatibility cases.
Changes: Module launch and boot loading
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Boot-path and patch-module class sources src/bootpath.ts, src/jvm.ts, src/natives/loader.ts, src/natives/misc.ts, src/snapshot.ts, AGENTS.md
The JVM can load appended boot classes from directories or archives and apply module patch paths. It tracks package ownership and appended-class locations, including in snapshots.
Module launch and VM startup src/node.ts, src/jvm.ts, types/node.d.ts, scripts/build-jdk.sh, docs/node.md, test/launcher.test.ts
The CLI accepts -m and --module targets. JVM startup handles module limits and boot-layer initialization. Launcher tests compare selected behavior with HotSpot, and the JDK image adds a java wrapper.
Lambda and thread stack dumps src/indy.ts, src/jvm.ts, src/node.ts, docs/node.md
The VM can dump live thread stacks. Lambda proxy classes are dumped when the related system property is present. The CLI supports SIGQUIT and periodic stack dumps.
The JDK module list adds jdk.net and jdk.nio.mapmode. Socket natives register extended options, allow datagram reconnects, and accept empty Unix-domain bind paths. The networking documentation describes option behavior and TCP urgent-data limitations.
Node socket paths and endpoints src/net-node.ts, src/sockets.ts, test/java/UnixSockets.java
The Node backend shortens long Unix socket paths and tracks Unix client names. It retains UDP bind endpoints across connection changes. Non-pipe sockets report writable readiness after SHUT_WR.
POSIX time-zone handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
POSIX TZ parsing and lookup src/posixtz.ts, src/natives/net.ts, test/timezone.test.ts
The parser handles POSIX standard and daylight offsets and transition rules. Time-zone lookup uses TZ from VM environment options and falls back to the host offset when parsing provides no offset. Tests compare selected results with HotSpot.
JVM and native compatibility
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Native API behavior and validation src/natives/reflect.ts, src/natives/management.ts, src/natives/misc.ts, src/interp.ts
Constant-pool accessors validate indices and entry types. Management-bean data uses G1 names and associations. Platform properties expose load averages and OS version. Stack-limit overflow creates a Java StackOverflowError.
New Java utilities report constant-pool, memory-manager, and OS-version data. The jtreg passing list adds tests across several runtime areas.
Process output handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Output buffering and process exit src/process-node.ts, test/java/Processes.java
Pipe buffering thresholds increase to 16 MiB for pausing and 8 MiB for resuming. Child-process completion waits for output streams to end, close, or error, with a 250 ms fallback after exit.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 2d3c0
Merging as is risks host memory exhaustion when child processes produce large unread output. It also risks a stale warm snapshot when appended boot-class-path JARs change. Address these two before merging. The remaining items are minor edge cases.

Explanation
The title names the three areas the PR touches: launcher, socket, process and system failures. It does not name the specific changes. It is broad but matches real parts of the changeset (launcher and module changes, socket changes, child-process output draining, and system properties, load average, and G1 reporting), so it is partially related. It also says "fix" and uses the phrase "OpenJDK sweep," which is a process reference rather than a change description.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the purpose of the pull request and maps directly to the changeset. It lists launcher and module changes (-m/--module, -Xbootclasspath/a, --patch-module), process and socket fixes (AsyncShutdown, datagram connect, 16 MB child output hold, Unix domain socket paths), VM and system changes (StackOverflowError, ConstantPool natives, os.version, G1 memory pools, POSIX TZ rules, lambda dumping, jdk.net and jdk.nio.mapmode), and new tests (test/launcher.test.ts, test/timezone.test.ts, OsVersion, MemoryManagers, ConstantPoolErrors). The raw summary's file-level changes match these claims. It also lists known unfixed test limitations. The description is specific and on-topic, so the check passes.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @src/bootpath.ts:
- Around line 12-17: Guard the boot-class-path lookup flow that calls readJar
and fromJar so malformed or truncated archives cannot let offset-read
RangeErrors escape. Treat failures for an individual archive entry as unusable,
continue to later entries, and preserve the existing null result when no class
is found; leave valid-archive lookup behavior unchanged.
Review comments at @src/natives/loader.ts:
- Line 30: Update dumpVM and restoreVM to preserve vm.bootModulePackages and
vm.bootAppendPackages, and add both fields to the snapshot image type so
restored VMs retain the boot package mappings. Bump SNAPSHOT_FORMAT so snapshots
created before these fields were serialized are not treated as compatible.
Review comments at @src/natives/management.ts:
- Line 22: Update the FLAGS table to match the G1 collector represented by the
memory managers and pools: report UseG1GC as enabled and UseSerialGC as
disabled, preserving the other flag values. Revise the file header and FLAGS
comment to describe G1 rather than Serial.
Review comments at @src/natives/reflect.ts:
- Line 529: Update getNameAndTypeRefIndexAt0 to remove Tag.Dynamic from the
accepted tags passed to cpAt, while retaining the field, method, and
InvokeDynamic tags so Dynamic entries are rejected.
Review comments at @src/natives/sockets.ts:
- Around line 194-198: Update getSoPeerCred0 to stop returning the VM process’s
uid and gid as socket peer credentials. Return values only when a supported host
mechanism provides the connected peer’s actual uid and gid; otherwise fail the
call rather than synthesizing an identity.
Review comments at @src/net-node.ts:
- Around line 307-322: Update the connect flow in the visible UDP socket
implementation so a synchronous ds.connect failure removes its pending connect
listener and resets s.connected and s.remote to reflect the disconnected host
socket before returning the errno. Preserve the existing successful-connect
behavior.
- Around line 143-186: Update connectUnix and the failure path in connectTo to
track each queued client name per connect attempt and remove that specific entry
if the connection fails, without disturbing other pending entries. Preserve the
accept path’s existing shift order for successful connections.
Review comments at @src/node.ts:
- Around line 739-744: Update the -m/--module argument handling in the argument
parser so a missing operand becomes an empty target instead of being
dereferenced, and set jdk.module.main only when the target is non-empty. Let
empty or missing targets reach the existing usage check and preserve its
status-2 behavior.
- Line 745: Update the `-Xbootclasspath/a:` handling so repeated arguments
accumulate in `jdk.boot.class.path.append` instead of replacing earlier values.
Preserve the command-line order and use the platform-appropriate classpath
separator when joining entries.
Review comments at @src/posixtz.ts:
- Around line 14-26: Update ruleSeconds to return null when seconds(time) is
non-numeric and when an M-month rule has month outside 1–12, week outside 1–5,
or weekday outside 0–6. Preserve the existing date calculation for valid inputs.
Review comments at @src/process-node.ts:
- Line 50: Bound buffered child output so concurrent children cannot exhaust the
host RSS limit: inspect the buffering and pause/resume behavior in `Pipe` and
`HELD`, and establish the expected maximum number of concurrent children before
choosing a limit. Then enforce an aggregate budget across `Pipe` instances or
lower `HELD` enough to keep total buffered output within that budget, preserving
the existing pipe flow-control behavior.
- Line 260: Update the `child.once("close")` exit-resolution path to wait until
`merged.reader` ends before resolving `exited`, while retaining the existing 250
ms fallback so a grandchild holding the pipe open cannot block resolution
indefinitely.
Review comments at @test/timezone.test.ts:
- Around line 42-55: Extend the posixOffsetMinutes test with coverage for J day
rules, plain zero-based day rules, quoted names, half-hour offsets, and a
year-boundary date; confirm rule-date expected values against HotSpot. Also add
assertions for the four uncovered null-return cases described in the review,
preserving the existing assertions.

Additional comments: 13
src/indy.ts: 1
236-236: Functional Correctness
The control flow confirms the premise: when vm.initGen throws inside defineHidden, dumpLambda at src/indy.ts:236 does not run. Whether that is a defect depends on whether the pinned JDK's InnerClassLambdaMetafactory dumper writes the class bytes when initialization fails. That dumper source is not in this checkout, so the expected behavior cannot be established from the repository.
src/natives/misc.ts: 1
244-245: Functional Correctness
No change needed. The process check order is already safe.
load is only truthy when globalThis.process exists. The !load check runs first and returns early, so process.platform is never reached when process is undefined. If getBuiltinModule is unavailable on an older Node version, the optional chain returns undefined and the function returns -1.
src/node.ts: 2
768-773: Stability & Availability
The flush wait has an explicit 10-second bound, so a stalled pipe delays exit by at most that bound. The stated consequence of an unfired callback on a closed stream is already covered by the same race timeout. The remaining concern is whether 10 seconds is acceptable for CLI exit time. The inspected code does not establish that as a defect, and no unsupported stream-throw behavior has been demonstrated.
620-631: Stability & Availability
The concern does not hold. A failed snapshot restore halts the VM, which resolves exited and runs the cleanup for the failed attempt's SIGQUIT handler and JW_DUMP_STACKS timer. The retry therefore does not leave a stale handler behind. Library-mode callers also do not receive the handler, because startLibrary bypasses this code path and dumpOnQuit defaults to off in runNode.
test/launcher.test.ts: 1
70-74: Maintainability & Code Quality
The before hook builds every fixture with the HotSpot tools. When the HotSpot build is missing, execFileSync throws and the suite fails before any comparison. The "no such module" comparison uses the same mods path for both implementations within one run, so per-run temp directory names cannot make it flaky. The comment identifies no concrete failure path or repository requirement. It is a general checklist for CI and flakiness, not a defect in the changed code.
src/jvm.ts: 3
1295-1300: Functional Correctness
No defect found in the initPhase2(ZZ)I call.
The descriptor (ZZ)I matches the JDK 25 java.lang.System.initPhase2(boolean, boolean) method, which returns int. The two 0 arguments pass false for both flags. The lookup uses the same pattern as the initPhase1 and initPhase3 calls. The comment does not identify a failing input or incorrect behavior, and no repository evidence shows the method missing from the pinned image. The stdout behavior is a claim about HotSpot output, which the checkout does not contain. It does not establish a change defect.
1198-1201: Stability & Availability
The early returns after halt in startGen and mainGen do skip the statements the comment lists. Those statements do not establish a consequence in this code path. halt terminates the VM, closes the library, and resolves exited. Callers handle the exit: run resolves through exited, and libraryGen reports a failed start. The state the comment names (created, keepJit, dropJit) is not read again after exit. The comment's reference to Shutdown.shutdown does not match this file.
263-273: Performance & Scalability
The concern as written does not hold. The example java/lang/Foo is a class in a boot-module package, so the bootClassPath branch is not reached. Within the inspected code, a class on -Xbootclasspath/a cannot shadow a package that a listed boot module owns. The only packages that reach this branch are non-boot packages, and locale-data packages when locale data is excluded by design. The cost concern rests on an unestablished miss frequency and an unseen callback cost, so no material performance defect is supported.
scripts/build-jdk.sh: 1
131-131: Functional Correctness
The bin/java wrapper's PATH dependency is documented, and the recursion path is not supported.
The wrapper calls java-web through PATH on purpose. The comment at scripts/build-jdk.sh:128-129 states that a host shell running this path starts the java-web command. The package installs java-web through its bin entry.
The reported loop requires a host command to reach the image's bin/java without interception. src/process-node.ts:201-203 replaces spawns of the VM's bin/java with javaChild. The nested -m test in test/launcher.test.ts:34 uses that same java.home path, so it does not reach the wrapper. The inspected source does not show java-web spawning bin/java.
A direct host run of build/jdk/bin/java without java-web on PATH fails with a shell error. That is the documented contract, not a demonstrated defect in this change.
src/natives/net.ts: 1
152-157: Functional Correctness
The comment asks Node and HotSpot to be compared, but it does not establish a defect. The host TZ fallback it questions is present on the Node path. The POSIX-rule handling it questions is the intended design documented in src/natives/net.ts:20-21. No material failure follows from the inspected code.
src/posixtz.ts: 1
53-54: Functional Correctness
The comment's static observations are accurate. The parser ignores the third and later rule parts, and it ignores text after the DST name when no comma follows. The consequence is not established. The comment assumes glibc would reject these inputs, but it does not show that. The repository contract covers only the null cases for unrecognized names and invalid required components. The trailing text is not one of those cases. Without a verified glibc behavior or a repository rule, this does not support a defect or an actionable change. If glibc is shown to reject these inputs, a narrower finding about silent acceptance of malformed TZ strings could be reconsidered.
src/sockets.ts: 1
169-170: Functional Correctness
The POLLOUT change does not cause a blocked write.
After SHUT_WR, xmit throws EPIPE before it checks wblocked, so a writer does not wait on a blocked buffer. The poller also returns at once, and the following write fails with an exception. The hang and busy-loop scenario in the comment depends on a write that blocks after SHUT_WR, and the inspected code excludes that path.
src/net-node.ts: 1
76-82: Functional Correctness
The working-directory premise does not hold.
shortUnixPath computes its relative path from the host cwd at each bind or connect call. The host operation resolves that path in the same call. Bind and connect therefore reach the same absolute target. No process.chdir call exists in src/, so the host cwd does not change during the VM's lifetime.
When the relative form is still over 107 bytes, the function returns it. The untruncated absolute path would fail the same length limit, so this fallback introduces no new failure.
Do not return the VM's own uid and gid as peer credentials.
getSoPeerCred0 returns the uid and gid of the VM process for any connected socket. Peer credentials identify the process at the other end of the socket. A connected socket that reaches another process can therefore report the wrong identity. An application that uses these values to authorize a peer can grant access to a process running under a different uid or gid. The check on connected does not stop this path. The native has no peer identity to return, so it can return an identity that does not belong to the peer.
Fail the call when the host cannot supply the peer's credentials. Return a peer identity only when the peer's actual uid and gid are available.

Bound buffered child output across all children.
Each child with separate stdout and stderr pipes can hold up to 16 MiB per pipe in host memory before it pauses (HELD, src/process-node.ts:50). Unread output stays in Pipe.chunks (src/process-node.ts:70-72), so it counts toward the host process RSS. A child can therefore hold about 32 MiB in the host. The merged 2>&1 path holds about 16 MiB per child.
The default RSS limit is 2048 MB (src/node.ts:595). When host RSS exceeds it, the host calls process.exit(137) (src/node.ts:597-600). About 64 children with unread output can reach this limit and stop the whole VM. The previous per-pipe threshold was 32 KiB, so the memory footprint per child grows by about three orders of magnitude. Raising --max-rss avoids the exit but does not bound memory use.
Add a shared output budget across all Pipe instances, or lower HELD so that the total stays within the RSS limit. Confirm the expected number of concurrent children before choosing the limit.

Review comment at @src/process-node.ts at line 50:
Bound buffered child output so concurrent children cannot exhaust the host RSS
limit: inspect the buffering and pause/resume behavior in `Pipe` and `HELD`, and
establish the expected maximum number of concurrent children before choosing a
limit. Then enforce an aggregate budget across `Pipe` instances or lower `HELD`
enough to keep total buffered output within that budget, preserving the existing
pipe flow-control behavior.

This PR fixes numerous OpenJDK test failures across launcher, modules, sockets, processes, and VM internals. It adds -m/--module support, -Xbootclasspath/a and --patch-module handling, Unix domain socket fixes, POSIX TZ parsing, ConstantPool index validation, G1 memory manager names, thread dump on SIGQUIT, and more. However, several defects are present in the diff: stack overflow handling in an overflow handler allocates a Java object (risking infinite recursion), boot classpath and patch module paths hardcode ':' separator (breaks on Windows), getSystemTimeZoneID returns POSIX TZ strings as zone IDs, stdout/stderr flush uses unreliable empty write, and Unix socket path shortening may still exceed 107 bytes.

906-911: Make dumpAllStacks safe for a halted or half-started VM.
dumpAllStacks runs from a SIGQUIT handler or a timer. It reads t.frames through dumpStack. halt clears the frames and marks every thread TERMINATED, so the loop skips those threads. If the handler fires between exited resolving and the finally removing it, the output is only the header. This is harmless. No change is required.

The generated bin/java script assumes java-web is on the PATH. In a packaged distribution or when the image is relocated, java-web may not be in PATH, causing ProcessBuilder-launched child JVMs to fail. Use an absolute path to the java-web binary or a wrapper that locates it relative to java.home.

ProcessBuilder starts the VM's own java for <java.home>/bin/java without running this script. The script only matters when a host shell runs it, where java-web is the installed command on PATH.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The concern stands. The generated bin/java script uses exec java-web "$@" which relies on java-web being in PATH when a host shell runs it. The author's reply explains that ProcessBuilder doesn't run this script (it starts the VM directly), but that doesn't address the case where a user runs $JAVA_HOME/bin/java from a shell in a relocated or packaged distribution where java-web is not on PATH. The script should locate java-web relative to java.home (e.g., exec "$0/../java-web" "$@" or similar) rather than assuming it's on PATH.

The image exists on a host file system only as build/jdk in a checkout; the npm package ships jdk/image.jar, and the VM serves /jdk/bin/java from it, so there is no host bin/java to run there. The script states that it runs the installed java-web command. Where that is not on PATH, sh reports java-web: not found with status 127, as for any missing command. Finding the command relative to the image would not work either: build/jdk is often a symlink to another checkout or a copy outside any checkout.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The concern still stands. The generated bin/java script uses exec java-web "$@" which requires java-web on PATH when a host shell runs $JAVA_HOME/bin/java. The author argues that (1) ProcessBuilder doesn't run this script (true but irrelevant), (2) the npm package serves /jdk/bin/java from a JAR so no host script exists there (true but doesn't cover local build/jdk use), and (3) relative paths won't work because build/jdk may be a symlink or copy elsewhere (true for relative paths, but not for absolute paths).
The fix is to embed the absolute path to java-web at build time. The build script runs java-web so it can capture command -v java-web and write that absolute path into the generated script. This makes the script work regardless of PATH when the built JDK image is used directly as a JAVA_HOME.

The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
No host path can go in the image: build/jdk is built the same on every host, and its digest keys boot snapshots, so an absolute path captured at build time would make the image differ per machine. The build also does not run java-web, and a checkout usually has none on PATH, so there would often be nothing to capture.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The generated bin/java script still uses exec java-web "$@" (scripts/build-jdk.sh:131), which requires java-web on PATH when a host shell runs $JAVA_HOME/bin/java. The author's pushback argues that embedding an absolute path at build time would break reproducibility, and that a relative path wouldn't work because build/jdk may be a symlink or copy. However, this doesn't address why the script can't resolve java-web at runtime (e.g., exec "$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")/../java-web" "$@"), which would work for the local build/jdk use case without baking in host-specific paths. The concern remains: users running the built JDK image directly as JAVA_HOME will get java-web: not found unless java-web happens to be on PATH.

Done in 9d9b64a: bin/java runs java-web when it is on PATH, otherwise src/node.ts of the checkout the image's real path is in (readlink -f, so a symlinked build/jdk works), and otherwise prints that java-web is not on PATH and exits 127. The script is the same on every host, so the image stays reproducible.

Record the appended-package location only for classes that define successfully.
bootAppendPackages.set runs when bootClassPath finds bytes, before parseClass and defineLinked. If either step throws (for example, ClassFormatError or a missing superclass), the package stays in bootAppendPackages. BootLoader.getSystemPackageNames() and getSystemPackageLocation() then report a package that has no defined class. Move the set call to after defineLinked succeeds.
The package is also recorded with set on every lookup of a class from that package. Each call overwrites the stored location. This is harmless when a package has one source entry. If a package spans two path entries, the last class loaded wins. HotSpot keeps the first entry. Use a has check to keep the first location.

Writing an empty string does not flush Node.js streams; write('') is a no-op that calls the callback immediately without draining the buffer. Data left in the pipe may be lost on exit. Await drain events or use a proper flush mechanism (e.g., write a zero-byte buffer and wait for drain, or call end() if closing is acceptable).
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Node runs writes on a stream in order, and the callback of the empty write fires only after the earlier writes are done, so this waits for buffered output before exit.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The concern still stands. Writing an empty string (s.write("")) is a no-op in Node.js, the callback fires on the next tick regardless of whether previous writes have drained. It does not wait for buffered data to be flushed to the OS. The proper way to ensure output is flushed before exit is to either let the event loop run (Node flushes on exit) or explicitly handle drain events after a write returns false. The current code at head still uses the incorrect empty-write pattern.

Checked with a test rather than by reading: a socket to a server that holds back reading for 500 ms, then s.write(Buffer.alloc(64 << 20), cb1) followed by s.write("", cb2). Output: setImmediate at 9 ms with writableLength 67108864, big write done 751 ms, empty write cb 751 ms, writableLength 0. Writable queues the empty chunk behind the buffered one (writeOrBuffer pushes it to state.buffered while a write is in progress), so its callback fires only after earlier writes finish. For stdout and stderr on pipes and files, Node writes synchronously on Linux anyway.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The concern still stands. The code at head (line 790) still uses s.write("", () => done()) to wait for stdout/stderr to flush. While the author's test shows this works for a socket with a large buffered write, write('') is not a reliable flush mechanism for all stream types (files, pipes, ttys). Node.js does not guarantee the callback fires only after the OS has accepted the data; it fires after the chunk is handed to the stream's internal buffer. The proper approach is to either let the event loop drain naturally (Node flushes on exit) or explicitly handle drain events after a write returns false. The 10-second timeout is a band-aid that masks the underlying issue.

Exclude boot-class-path files from unvalidated snapshots.
When warmSnapshot is enabled, a library VM can save classes loaded through bootClassPath. If an appended JAR changes at the same path, the snapshot key stays the same. The boot-path helper reads host files directly, so the VFS warm trace cannot detect that change. restoreVM can then combine newly read class bytes with saved class state. Add jdk.boot.class.path.append to the snapshot exclusion rule, or validate those files before restore. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

- Line 17: Update the transition-rule parsing near TIME.test(time) to reject
rules containing more than one slash before validating the time. Preserve
support for the single optional /time field and return null for malformed rules;
locate this logic in the parsing flow that calls posixOffsetMinutes.
Review comments at @src/process-node.ts:
- Around line 93-94: Update the exit-time drain in hold(false) and its
interaction with Pipe.attach so continuously written output remains
memory-bounded until the 250 ms fallback; use backpressure or spill excess
output to storage without changing the existing drain timeout.
Review comments at @test/java/Processes.java:
- Line 82: Increase the output generated by the `late` process in the
`Processes` test to 131,072 bytes so the after-`waitFor()` check exercises
output beyond the previous 65,536-byte threshold.
Review comments at @test/launcher.test.ts:
- Line 84: Update the “-Xbootclasspath/a twice” test case so it verifies both
boot-path entries: add a distinct class or resource to the second entry and make
the test load or check it, while retaining coverage of the first entry.

bootClassPath, configured by jdk.boot.class.path.append, so snapshots cannot be
restored with boot-path files that changed without detection. Exclude this
configuration from snapshot reuse unless the files are validated before
restoreVM; preserve the existing behavior for other snapshot inputs.

## Commands
- Pull requests run the OpenJDK tests in `test/jtreg/passing.txt` that their
changes need (`scripts/jtreg/select.ts`); releases run all of them. A test
that fails without a code change is fixed or taken out of `passing.txt`, so
a green pull request stays green on `master` and at release

- Prove it with tests: programs whose output must match HotSpot exactly, and
OpenJDK's own regression tests where they can run.

The prior peer-credential concern is addressed. getSoPeerCred0 now returns -1n when the peer is a host socket, and returns the VM's own ids only when the peer is in this VM (s.peer or s.peerInVm).

The Java NIO paths do not reach the reported state.

test/java/UnixSockets.java: 1
73-73: Maintainability & Code Quality
The host-socket test exists.
test/programs.test.ts runs UnixSockets with the default NodeNet backend and compares its output with HotSpot. The claimed coverage gap is contradicted by that harness.
Make the repeated boot-path test use both entries.
UseBoot reads its boot class and resource from the first entry. The test can pass if the launcher drops the second entry. Add a distinct class or resource to the second entry, then make this case load it. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Based on learnings, the repository direction is to “Prove it with tests” against HotSpot and OpenJDK regressions.

This PR fixes numerous OpenJDK test failures across launcher, modules, sockets, processes, and VM internals. Key changes include: -m/--module support, -Xbootclasspath/a and --patch-module for boot modules, Unix domain socket fixes, POSIX TZ rule parsing, G1 memory manager names, ConstantPool index/kind validation, stack overflow handling, thread dumps on SIGQUIT, and boot snapshot format updates. Several defects remain in the current diff that risk crashes, data loss, or incorrect behavior.
Not approved: the diff of src/process-node.ts, src/snapshot.ts, src/sockets.ts, test/java/ConstantPoolErrors.java, test/java/MemoryManagers.java, test/java/OsVersion.java, test/java/Processes.java, test/java/UnixSockets.java, test/jtreg/passing.txt, test/jtreg/times.tsv, test/launcher.test.ts, test/timezone.test.ts was too large to read.

SO_PEERCRED must return the peer's credentials (uid/gid), not the local process's. This implementation returns the current process's ids for any connected socket, which is incorrect for the socket option's semantics. For VM-internal sockets there is no peer credential; either return an error (ENOTCONN) or -1. For host sockets, the peer's credentials are unknown without SO_PEERCRED on the host fd.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Already the case at this head (a49fc1b): a host peer gives -1 for both ids. The process's own ids come back only when the peer is in this VM, where it is this same process, as unixdomain/SocketOptions.java expects.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The concern still stands. The code at line 194-200 returns the current process's uid/gid whenever s.peer exists (i.e., for any connected socket), not only for VM-internal peers. The condition if (!s.peer && !s.peerInVm) return -1n means a connected host socket (which has s.peer set but s.peerInVm false) falls through and returns the local process's credentials. This is incorrect, for host sockets the peer's credentials are unknown and should return -1 (or ENOTCONN). The comment claims host peers give -1, but the logic does not match.

The generated bin/java script assumes java-web is on the PATH. In a packaged distribution or when the image is relocated, java-web may not be in PATH, causing ProcessBuilder-launched child JVMs to fail. Use an absolute path to the java-web binary or a wrapper that locates it relative to java.home (e.g., $(dirname "$0")/../lib/java-web).
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Fixed in 9d9b64a, this head: without java-web on PATH, bin/java runs src/node.ts of the checkout the image's real path is in, and otherwise exits 127 with a message. ProcessBuilder never runs this script; it starts the VM's own java for that path.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The fix only works when the JDK image remains in the build directory (build/jdk/bin/java → ../../.. finds the checkout with src/node.ts). In a packaged or relocated installation (e.g., /opt/java-web/jdk/bin/java), the checkout won't be at that relative path and java-web may not be on PATH, so the script exits 127. The original concern stands: the wrapper should locate the launcher relative to java.home (e.g., $(dirname "$0")/../lib/java-web) rather than relying on PATH or the build layout.
