Read embedded SEA assets from a native Perry executable - #14230
Perry apps built with --sea --embed can read their embedded files through node:sea from one native executable. The assets stay in the executable, so the app can run after it moves without extracting files or shipping Node. Node SEA documentation
Implementation
Adds isSea(), getAssetKeys(), getAsset(), and getAssetAsBlob() for explicitly enabled SEA builds.
Returns fresh asset data to JavaScript and keeps ordinary --embed builds outside SEA mode.
Keeps SEA payloads uncompressed, including Bun-platform builds.
Leaves getRawAsset() unsupported because Perry cannot expose read-only executable bytes as a zero-copy ArrayBuffer.
This adds the SEA asset API subset. It does not add Node's useVfs filesystem routing or module resolution, or static Node-API addon linking.
Validation
Adds a relocated-executable integration test for asset reads, copies, encoding/BOM behavior, Blob MIME handling, missing assets, and zero-asset SEA builds.
Adds a regression test that SEA bypasses Bun asset compression.
Corrects an integration fixture to use the full embedded key (assets/a) required by the Node SEA asset map.
Latest CI is rerunning on the corrected head; local full-workspace build exceeded the practical time budget because changing RUSTFLAGS invalidated the compiled graph.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added an opt-in --sea profile that exposes embedded assets through supported node:sea APIs, including asset listing, retrieval, and Blob access.
Asset retrieval supports requested encodings and Blob content types. SEA builds can run without embedded assets and continue working after the executable is moved or the original project directory is removed.
Documentation
Clarified how --sea works with --embed and which node:sea behaviors are supported. getRawAsset() and SEA virtual-filesystem behavior are not supported.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The change adds an opt-in --sea profile for embedded assets. Startup registers the profile, and selected node:sea APIs return embedded asset names, data, and Blobs. Integration tests and documentation cover supported APIs and identify unsupported getRawAsset() and useVfs behavior. It also updates archive-name parsing and a threading example annotation.
The compiler accepts --sea and generates profile registration, including for builds with no assets. SEA-mode assets bypass optional Bun compression. Static-library output references the embedded-assets link anchor on non-WASM targets.
The runtime reports profile state, lists sorted asset keys, and looks up assets by exact key. getAsset() returns an ArrayBuffer or decoded string. getAssetAsBlob() returns a Blob. Unsupported encodings and missing assets raise errors. getRawAsset() remains unsupported.
Blob construction crates/perry-runtime/src/node_submodules/blob.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/common/dispatch/init.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch_blob.rs
Blob construction roots values across allocations. The standard library registers a factory that creates Blob objects from raw bytes and content types.
Integration tests and documentation crates/perry/tests/issue_5731_embedded_assets.rs, docs/src/cli/flags.md, changelog.d/14230-sea-assets.md
Integration tests cover asset access, encoding, Blob handling, relocated executables, and SEA builds with no assets. The CLI documentation and changelog describe the profile and its unsupported getRawAsset() and useVfs behavior.

Summary
Archive member parsing crates/perry-gc-effects/src/graph.rs
crate_of recognizes current rustc archive member names with a 16-character lowercase hexadecimal hash and retains legacy-name parsing. Tests cover both formats.
Runtime declaration and example annotation crates/perry-runtime/src/process/environment.rs, docs/src/threading/overview.md
The environment state declaration switches to perry_thread_local!. The threading example include is marked no-test.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 17cca
Cross-target static-library builds using the documented Linux aliases can produce a wrong-architecture anchor. Correct the aliases before relying on those builds; the remaining SEA test gap does not indicate a current API failure.

Test the generator’s SEA compression decision.
This test passes false directly to prepare, so it still passes if the generator enables compression for Bun SEA builds. Invoke the generator with both flags enabled and assert that a large compressible asset uses raw registration.

- Around line 138-145: Update the options.type lookup used before
blob_content_type so it supports handle-backed objects such as Response, not
only pointer-backed objects. Preserve the existing null and undefined handling,
and ensure a Response with no type yields the default Blob type.
- Line 150: Update the existing-asset return path using
blob_value_from_bytes_and_type so the result is registered through the runtime’s
established Blob-handle mechanism, not merely shaped to pass instanceof Blob.
Preserve the asset bytes and content type, and ensure the resulting handle is
accepted by Blob-consuming APIs such as URL.createObjectURL.
Review comments at @crates/perry-runtime/src/node_submodules/blob.rs:
- Around line 380-383: Update blob_value_from_bytes_and_type to keep the
unfinished Blob object rooted across allocating operations, including field-name
allocation, and reload the object from the root before subsequent field writes.
Use the runtime’s established rooting mechanism so writes never use a stale
pointer.
Review comments at @crates/perry/src/commands/compile/embed.rs:
- Around line 485-486: Update the module entry point generation guarded by
sea_profile so it retains the SEA registration object when linked from a static
library without whole-archive loading. Use the project’s established
linker-retention mechanism for the object that provides js_register_sea_profile,
preserving the existing registration behavior.
Review comments at @crates/perry/tests/issue_5731_embedded_assets.rs:
- Around line 82-88: The sidecar setup in the embedded-assets test relies on
Bash, which may be unavailable on Windows. Replace the `Command::new("bash")`
invocation with a platform-independent way to generate the sidecars, preserving
the existing workspace, target, and `GC_EFFECTS_BIN` inputs so the test can
reach the embedding checks.

node:url does not export createObjectURL. Perry rejects its use during compilation, so the test cannot reach the asset assertions or the zero-asset scenario.
