+// Bridge between the Babylon Napi:: helpers and the Hermes static_h NAPI
+// implementation.
+//
+// Hermes's `hermesNapi` static library implements the full set of standard
+// `napi_*` C functions on top of a `hermes::vm::Runtime`.  In this TU we:
+//   1.  Create a Runtime + napi_env via `hermes_napi_create_env`.
+//   2.  Keep the Runtime alive for the lifetime of the env in a process-wide
+//       table (the env is opaque to callers; we need somewhere to stash the
+//       owning shared_ptr).
+//   3.  Provide `Napi::Eval` that calls Hermes's `hermes_run_script` (which
+//       takes a `source_url` for stack traces, matching what callers expect
+//       from the other engines' `Napi::Eval`).
+//   4.  Expose `Napi::DrainJobs` so AppRuntime can pump microtasks after each
+//       dispatched callback.
+//
+// Header layering note:
+// Both our shared NAPI headers and Hermes's vendored ones use the same
+// include guards (`SRC_JS_NATIVE_API_H_`, `SRC_JS_NATIVE_API_TYPES_H_`).
+// Whichever set is included first wins.  We deliberately include our shared
+// `<napi/env.h>` chain FIRST so:
+//   * the Napi:: C++ wrappers (`Napi::Env`, `Napi::Value`, `Napi::Error`)
+//     line up with the rest of the project,
+//   * the Babylon-extended 4-arg `napi_run_script` declaration matches the
+//     inline `Env::RunScript` body in napi-inl.h (which we never actually
+//     call in this engine — Napi::Eval below routes through
+//     `hermes_run_script` directly — so the linker is never asked to find
+//     the 4-arg symbol).
+//
+// We keep `NAPI_VERSION` at the shared default (5) so the inline wrappers
+// in napi-inl.h that target newer NAPI revisions (e.g.
+// `Env::GetModuleFileName` which calls `node_api_get_module_file_name`)
+// aren't pulled in — they would reference symbols absent from our shared
+// js_native_api.h.
+//
+// Hermes's `node_api.h` then needs a couple of NAPI v10 types
+// (`node_api_basic_env`, `node_api_basic_finalize`) that its own
+// js_native_api.h would have defined, but those headers are now guarded
+// out.  We supply the typedefs locally: in NAPI v10 they're just type-
+// attributed aliases for the regular `napi_env` / `napi_finalize`, so the
+// ABI remains compatible with the symbols hermesNapi actually exports.

Subject: [PATCH 02/20] CI: use Ninja for macOS Hermes builds to bypass Xcode
 dual-target error

Hermes's lib/InternalJavaScript/CMakeLists.txt attaches the generated InternalBytecode.js to two downstream targets (hermesInternalUnit_obj and InternalBytecodeInclude) with no common dependency. The Xcode
ew build system rejects this with is attached to multiple targets ... but none of these is a common dependency of the other(s), breaking the macOS_Xcode264_Hermes CMake generate step.

Switch to the Ninja generator only when js-engine == 'Hermes' so the rest of the macOS matrix keeps using Xcode. Ninja has no such restriction. xcode-select still pins clang and the SDK to the chosen Xcode toolchain. Adjust the test working-directory accordingly (Ninja is single-config and drops binaries directly under the target dir).

Subject: [PATCH 03/20] CI: gate Hermes /wdNNNN warning suppressions on MSVC

These flags are MSVC-only; clang/gcc parse them as missing source-file paths and fail the env_hermes.cc compile on macOS with 'clang++: error: no such file or directory: /wd4068' (and the rest of the wd list).

On non-MSVC compilers clang and gcc accept the offending compound- literal syntax in Hermes's sh_legacy_value.h as a GNU extension under -std=gnu++20, so no suppression is needed there.

Subject: [PATCH 04/20] CI: explicitly link Foundation/CoreFoundation on Apple
 in AppRuntime

On macOS the Xcode generator's Link Frameworks Automatically setting silently pulls in Foundation/CoreFoundation for .mm/.m TUs. The Ninja generator we now use for the Hermes macOS job has no such mechanism, so AppRuntime_macOS.mm's NSLog and UrlLib's UrlRequest_Apple.mm reference to NSBundle resolve to undefined symbols at the final link step:

  Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:

    _NSLog, referenced from ... AppRuntime_macOS.mm.o

    _OBJC_CLASS_\, referenced from ... UrlRequest_Apple.mm.o

Declare the frameworks explicitly and PUBLIC so they end up on the executable's link line for every generator, while not regressing the Xcode-generator builds (specifying the framework twice is a no-op).

Subject: [PATCH 05/20] CI: disable HERMES_SLOW_DEBUG so embed teardown does
 not SIGABRT

Hermes ships HERMES_SLOW_DEBUG=ON by default. Those slow asserts compile in even for RelWithDebInfo / Release builds and fire during the Runtime destructor finalizer chain on macOS arm64, killing the macOS_Xcode264_Hermes job with exit code 134 right after 145 passing and before any gtest [OK] line.

Disable the slow checks for our embedded use.

Subject: [PATCH 06/20] Hermes: swallow Runtime teardown exceptions in
 Napi::Detach

Hermes's Runtime destructor runs the full finalizer chain (cleanup hooks, persistent-reference finalizers, instance-data finalizer, and heap finalizeAll()), invoking arbitrary user-provided C++ code from napi_wrap / napi_add_finalizer / etc.  If any of that code throws, the exception escapes Runtime::~Runtime (its destructor is not noexcept) and propagates out of Napi::Detach into the AppRuntime worker thread.  The thread function has no catch, so C++ calls std::terminate -> abort(), killing the process with SIGABRT silently.

Observed on macOS arm64 CI as 'Abort trap: 6' immediately after '145 passing', with zero stderr diagnostic (hermes_fatal isn't involved). The Windows builds happen to swallow this internally and exit cleanly.

Wrap state.runtime.reset() in a try/catch that logs to stderr instead of propagating. By the time Detach runs the tests have already reported their results; re-raising would just re-trigger the abort and leave CI red despite a fully successful test run.

Subject: [PATCH 07/20] Hermes: swallow drainJobs() exceptions too
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Same root-cause class as the Detach try/catch in 2b68f36: Hermes's Runtime::drainJobs() synchronously runs whatever callbacks were registered via addDrainJobsCallback. Our hermesNapi build registers drainPendingFinalizers, which invokes user napi_wrap / napi_add_finalizer C++ callbacks. If one of those throws, the exception escapes drainJobs into AppRuntime::Dispatch's call site (DrainMicrotasks lives OUTSIDE the dispatch try/catch by design — promise continuations need to run regardless of whether the callback threw), and from there out of the worker thread function, triggering std::terminate -> abort() with no diagnostic.

The macOS_Xcode264_Hermes CI run kept SIGABRTing after 145 passing even with the Detach catch in place, which means the throw happens before Detach — most plausibly in the very last DrainMicrotasks call (after the AppRuntime destructor pushed the no-op work item and the worker drained pending finalizers on its way out).

Wrap runtime->drainJobs() in try/catch with a stderr log so the worker can exit cleanly.

Subject: [PATCH 08/20] CI: run macOS Hermes UnitTests under lldb to capture
 backtrace

The macOS_Xcode264_Hermes job has been failing with Abort trap: 6 (SIGABRT, exit code 134) right after 145 passing, with zero stderr diagnostic. My defensive try/catch wrappers around Hermes Runtime teardown (Detach) and drainJobs in the previous two commits did not catch anything, which suggests this is either a raw abort() call from inside Hermes (not a C++ throw) or a std::terminate from somewhere outside the paths I instrumented.

Wrap UnitTests in lldb -b -o run -o 'thread backtrace all' for the Hermes macOS path only, so the next CI run leaves a real backtrace in the log. The exit code is parsed back out of lldb's summary line so the job still fails on real test failures.

Subject: [PATCH 09/20] Hermes: route Eval through hermes_run_script's copy
 path to fix heap corruption

Captured a real backtrace from CI by wrapping the macOS Hermes UnitTests run in lldb in the previous commit. The smoking gun is macOS libmalloc:

  UnitTests(25540,0x16fe87000) malloc: *** error for object

      0x9cfbcb930: pointer being freed was not allocated

  malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

  Process 25540 stopped

  * thread #2, stop reason = signal SIGABRT

Heap corruption during Runtime teardown, not a C++ throw (hence why my Detach / drainJobs try/catch additions never fired).

Hermes's hermes_run_script has two ingest paths for the source buffer: a zero-copy path when the last byte is '\\0' (wraps the buffer in WeirdZeroTerminatedBuffer and keeps the callback alive until the owning BCProvider/RuntimeModule is destroyed, often at ~Runtime), and a copy path otherwise (Hermes copies into its own StdStringBuffer and synchronously invokes the finalize callback before hermes_run_script returns).

The zero-copy path is the one tripping the abort on macOS arm64: my new uint8_t[] pointer lives long enough to interact with whatever teardown sequence corrupts it. Switch Eval to the copy path by passing length (no trailing '\\0'). The buffer now lives only for the duration of the synchronous call and the lifetime question disappears. Plenty cheap for the Mocha bundle (~1 MiB).

Subject: [PATCH 10/20] CI: have lldb intercept SIGABRT to get real backtrace

The previous lldb wrapping only printed frame #0 because the inferior's SIGABRT was passing straight through to the kernel and killing the process before the queued thread backtrace all command could run.  Add process handle SIGABRT --pass false --stop true --notify true so lldb intercepts the signal, lets us dump every thread, then continues so the inferior exits with the original signal status.

Also process status --verbose for the per-thread state, in case the backtrace alone isn't enough to identify the bad free site (the heap corruption message comes with an address but no callsite, since macOS libmalloc only logs to stderr before raising).

Subject: [PATCH 11/20] CI: use lldb -k (one-line-on-crash) to capture
 backtrace
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Queued -o commands after 
un were never executed once SIGABRT killed the inferior — even with process handle --pass false. lldb's -k flag is specifically designed to fire on crash and is the only reliable way to get bt all out of batch mode in this scenario.

Subject: [PATCH 12/20] Hermes: patch shutdown() to fix napi_ref double-free
 during teardown
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Captured a full backtrace via lldb -k (see prior CI commit). The smoking gun:

  frame #5: ___BUG_IN_CLIENT_OF_LIBMALLOC_POINTER_BEING_FREED_WAS_NOT_ALLOCATED

  frame #6: napi_delete_reference at hermes_napi_reference.cpp:113

  frame #7: Napi::Reference<...>::~Reference at napi-inl.h:3262

  frame #8: Napi::ObjectReference::~ObjectReference

  frame #10: Babylon::Polyfills::Internal::URL::~URL at URL.h:10

  frame #12: Napi::ObjectWrap<...URL>::FinalizeCallback at napi-inl.h:4963

  frame #13: napi_env__::shutdown at hermes_napi.cpp:214

  frame #16: hermes::vm::Runtime::~Runtime

Root cause: Hermes's napi_env__::shutdown() iterates refListHead_ and delete ref; one at a time. It only sets ref->deletionPending_ on the *current* ref before its finalize_cb fires. If the finalizer transitively destroys a node-addon-api wrapper (Napi::Reference / Napi::ObjectReference) whose underlying napi_ref was already deleted earlier in the same loop, napi_delete_reference reads ref->deletionPending_ from freed memory and proceeds to delete ref again -> double-free.

The exact path: URL (an ObjectWrap subclass) has a Napi::ObjectReference member m_searchParamsReference. addReference prepends to the linked list, so m_searchParamsReference's ref is processed BEFORE URL's wrap ref. When URL's wrap finalizer runs delete this, ~URL destroys m_searchParamsReference, whose destructor calls napi_delete_reference on the already-freed sibling ref.

macOS libmalloc detects this (malloc: *** error for object 0x...: pointer being freed was not allocated -> SIGABRT). Linux glibc and Windows CRT happen to miss it.

Fix: PATCH Hermes shutdown() to mark ALL refs deletionPending in a pre-pass BEFORE iterating. Apply as a FetchContent PATCH_COMMAND via the new ApplyPatchIfNeeded.cmake helper (idempotent — uses git apply --check --reverse to detect already-applied state across reconfigure).

+Pre-mark all napi_ref__ as deletionPending before the teardown loop
+
+Hermes's napi_env__::shutdown() iterates refListHead_ one at a time, sets
+deletionPending_ on each ref *just before* its finalize_cb fires, then
+`delete`s the ref.  This is fine if the finalizer doesn't transitively
+destroy any other ref.
+
+However, the node-addon-api C++ wrappers (Napi::Reference / Napi::
+ObjectReference) RAII-own a napi_ref via napi_create_reference, and
+their destructor calls napi_delete_reference on it.  Embedders routinely
+hold these wrappers as members of a class that is itself the data
+pointer of a napi_wrap; e.g. JsRuntimeHost's URL polyfill:
+
+    class URL final : public Napi::ObjectWrap<URL> {
+        ...
+        Napi::ObjectReference m_searchParamsReference;
+    };
+
+If `m_searchParamsReference`'s underlying napi_ref happens to come
+*before* the URL wrap's napi_ref in `refListHead_`, the shutdown loop
+deletes it first.  When the URL wrap's finalize_cb later runs and
+deletes the C++ URL instance, ~URL destroys m_searchParamsReference,
+which calls napi_delete_reference on the *already-freed* napi_ref:
+
+    if (ref->deletionPending_) { return napi_ok; }   // UB: reads UAF
+    ...
+    delete ref;                                       // double-free
+
+macOS libmalloc catches this with
+`pointer being freed was not allocated` followed by SIGABRT.  Linux
+glibc may or may not (depends on tcache state).  Windows CRT typically
+doesn't.
+
+Fix: mark every ref deletionPending in a pre-pass *before* the loop, so
+that any napi_delete_reference triggered by finalize_cb on any sibling
+ref is unconditionally a no-op.  The pre-pass touches the same bit
+that's already set inside the loop, so it doesn't change behavior for
+refs whose finalize_cb does not transitively destroy others — it only
+adds the missing protection for the cross-ref case.

Subject: [PATCH 13/20] CI: temporarily narrow matrix to Hermes-only jobs to
 iterate faster

Cuts the matrix from ~24 jobs down to 4 (Win32_x64_Hermes, Android_Hermes, macOS_Xcode264_Hermes, iOS_Xcode264_Hermes) so iterating on Hermes-specific failures doesn't burn through CI minutes re-running the unaffected V8/Chakra/JSC/UWP/Linux matrix.

Reverted in the very last commit of this PR.

Subject: [PATCH 15/20] CI: drop Android and iOS Hermes jobs from narrowed
 matrix
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The previous narrowed matrix referenced js-engine inputs on build-android.yml and build-ios.yml, but the iteration-2 commit that added those inputs to build-macos.yml and build-ios.yml landed only on build-macos.yml and build-ios.yml on the local branch — the squashed PR commit didn't carry the build-android.yml / build-ios.yml diffs, causing GitHub Actions to reject the workflow with:

  Invalid input, js-engine is not defined in the referenced workflow.

Narrow further to only Win32 x64 + macOS Xcode 26.4 (the two job types that already accept js-engine on the PR head).

Subject: [PATCH 16/20] Hermes: regenerate shutdown patch via git diff + add
 marker print
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The hand-written patch was malformed (corrupt at line 88) and likely never applied in CI — explaining why the previous run still SIGABRT'd at line 225 with the same root-cause backtrace.

Re-generated via git diff against the pristine fetched source so the format is exact. Also added a [Babylon-Hermes-patch] stderr print inside shutdown() so we can positively confirm in CI logs that the patch is in effect. Added an ApplyPatchIfNeeded status line at configure too.

Patch v2 also covers a secondary case: refs created during a finalize_cb (e.g. by transient napi_create_reference calls during teardown) are now pre-marked just before the next finalize fires, in addition to the upfront sweep.

Verified locally on Windows RelWithDebInfo: 145 Mocha + 4 gtest PASS, marker prints 4 times (once per AppRuntime in the suite).

-Pre-mark all napi_ref__ as deletionPending before the teardown loop
-
-Hermes's napi_env__::shutdown() iterates refListHead_ one at a time, sets
-deletionPending_ on each ref *just before* its finalize_cb fires, then
-`delete`s the ref.  This is fine if the finalizer doesn't transitively
-destroy any other ref.
-
-However, the node-addon-api C++ wrappers (Napi::Reference / Napi::
-ObjectReference) RAII-own a napi_ref via napi_create_reference, and
-their destructor calls napi_delete_reference on it.  Embedders routinely
-hold these wrappers as members of a class that is itself the data
-pointer of a napi_wrap; e.g. JsRuntimeHost's URL polyfill:
-
-    class URL final : public Napi::ObjectWrap<URL> {
-        ...
-        Napi::ObjectReference m_searchParamsReference;
-    };
-
-If `m_searchParamsReference`'s underlying napi_ref happens to come
-*before* the URL wrap's napi_ref in `refListHead_`, the shutdown loop
-deletes it first.  When the URL wrap's finalize_cb later runs and
-deletes the C++ URL instance, ~URL destroys m_searchParamsReference,
-which calls napi_delete_reference on the *already-freed* napi_ref:
-
-    if (ref->deletionPending_) { return napi_ok; }   // UB: reads UAF
-    ...
-    delete ref;                                       // double-free
-
-macOS libmalloc catches this with
-`pointer being freed was not allocated` followed by SIGABRT.  Linux
-glibc may or may not (depends on tcache state).  Windows CRT typically
-doesn't.
-
-Fix: mark every ref deletionPending in a pre-pass *before* the loop, so
-that any napi_delete_reference triggered by finalize_cb on any sibling
-ref is unconditionally a no-op.  The pre-pass touches the same bit
-that's already set inside the loop, so it doesn't change behavior for
-refs whose finalize_cb does not transitively destroy others — it only
-adds the missing protection for the cross-ref case.

Subject: [PATCH 17/20] patches: lock patch files to LF line endings

git apply is strict about line endings; allowing Windows checkouts to convert patches to CRLF would silently break the FetchContent PATCH_COMMAND step.
