Ports the iOS runtime's Node-API implementation (NativeScript/ios#437): vendored nodejs/node v26.7.0 js_native_api sources (byte-identical, shared with iOS), a per-runtime napi_env (main + each Worker) created at the end of PrepareV8Runtime and destroyed between EventLoop::Shutdown and isolate disposal, threadsafe functions / async work / cleanup hooks riding the per-runtime EventLoop's internal lane, and require() resolution of registered addons by bare name after the ns:/node: builtin fast path. Android-specific pieces: - exceptions from Node-API entries into JS route through the 9.1 containment pipeline (ContainUncaughtCallbackException) - async work executes on a fixed pool of 4 detached native threads, matching Node's default libuv pool size - the .so require path claims a constructor-registered addon the way Node's dlopen consumes modpending, so require("libaddon.so") returns the addon's exports; NSMain remains the protocol for plain libraries - the .aar publishes a Prefab package (headers + libNativeScript.so link target), so a plugin build with prefab=true compiles the ecosystem-standard bare #include <node_api.h> and links napi_* from the runtime; the version script exports napi_*/node_api_*/NativeScriptNapiEnv - test addons (NapiTestModule, NapiCoverageModule) compile into local Debug builds only; published aars never carry them Full suite on emulator: 879 passing / 0 failing (+95 Node-API specs).

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughNode-API support is embedded in the Android V8 runtime. The change adds public headers, addon registration and loading, per-runtime environments, asynchronous APIs, finalizers, Prefab packaging, documentation, native test addons, and JavaScript coverage tests. ChangesAndroid Node-API support
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds the Node-API surface, async behavior, and addon loading for Android. It is mergeable with owner awareness that teardown-time environment lookup may be unavailable during late cleanup and that the weak-reference test could be flaky on slower devices.

- run the async-work complete callback with the env's context entered (shared defect with the iOS original, tracked as NativeScript/ios#441) - always contain exceptions from Node-API entries: containment declining (uncaughtErrorPolicy "throw", where the error is already fully reported) no longer rethrows to Java from under loops that keep executing - replace AGP prefabPublishing with a hand-authored header-only prefab package named NativeScript: AGP's generator records the c++_static STL (which prefab's consumer check rejects for a shared library), bundles the unstripped runtime (~100 MB/ABI) into the AAR, and names the package after the gradle project; linking follows the extract-and-link convention V8 plugins already use, documented in docs/node-api.md - export NativeScriptNapiEnv with an explicit visibility("default") so it survives -fvisibility=hidden release builds - probe napi_register_module_v1 on the .so require path, so NAPI_MODULE / node-addon-api addons load unmodified and re-dlopen of an already-loaded addon initializes instead of failing with a misleading NSMain error - gate async-work execute on an env-alive flag (worker termination could free the env under a queued pool job) and park undeliverable work in the completed state so napi_delete_async_work stays usable from cleanup hooks - guard the async-work pool threads against escaping C++ exceptions (diagnostic + abort instead of a bare std::terminate) - throw on bare require() of an addon that failed to initialize without a pending exception; keep-first + warn on duplicate nm_modname registrations; loop the TSFN teardown sweep so functions created during teardown finalizers are closed; avoid the throwing Runtime accessor under extern "C"; upstream-parity arg checks on the two stub APIs Full suite re-run on arm64 API 35 emulator: 879 passing / 0 failing.

CompleteAsyncWork called into the module with only the loop entry's Locker + Isolate::Scope + HandleScope, leaving the current context empty — addon complete callbacks (and the exception reporter on the napi_throw_error failure path) observed no entered context. Open a HandleScope + Context::Scope first, mirroring NapiEnv::CallFinalizer and the TSFN dispatch path. Same fix as NativeScript/android#2004. Fixes #441

Clean up native Runtime when initialization fails.
If runtime.init() or runtime.runScript() throws after PrepareV8Runtime, the Java rollback removes only Java references. It does not call DestroyRuntime or delete the native Runtime. The N-API environment and isolate remain allocated, and s_currentRuntime remains stale. Use a native cleanup guard that mirrors the WorkerWrapper teardown path.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Declining in this PR: the leak on a failed init predates this change — the isolate and native Runtime were already never rolled back on that path, and this PR only adds the napi env to the same leaked set. The stale s_currentRuntime cannot dangle: GetNapiEnvIfAlive resolves it through the runtime registry under its lock, and a leaked runtime is never removed from that registry. A proper exception-safe init rollback (mirroring the WorkerWrapper teardown) is worthwhile but is pre-existing lifecycle surgery beyond this PR's scope.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@edusperoni, acknowledged. The failed-initialization leak predates this PR. Under the existing leak behavior, s_currentRuntime still refers to a registered live allocation, and GetNapiEnvIfAlive validates it through s_isolate2RuntimesCache while holding s_runtimeCacheMutex.
The exception-safe rollback is still useful lifecycle work, but it is separate from this Node-API change. Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for it?

Timestamp: 2026-08-13T22:31:43.080Z
Learning: In `test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/Runtime.cpp`, a failed main-runtime initialization can leak the native `Runtime` and V8 isolate. This behavior predates the Node-API integration. The leaked runtime remains in `Runtime::s_isolate2RuntimesCache`, so `Runtime::GetNapiEnvIfAlive` does not dereference a dangling `Runtime::s_currentRuntime` pointer on that path because it validates the runtime through the registry while holding `Runtime::s_runtimeCacheMutex`.

- resolve the addon conditionally in the NAPI spec suites so a disabled suite's declaration body is throw-free (jasmine executes it even for xdescribe; the declaration exception was contained, but relying on that machinery was needless) - guard against a null dlerror() after a failed dlopen - deduplicate (fun, arg) env cleanup hooks, matching Node's set semantics so a double registration cannot run the hook twice at teardown - delete the async-work fixture's callback reference on its failure path Full suite re-run on arm64 API 35 emulator: 879 passing / 0 failing.

What
Ports the iOS runtime's Node-API surface (NativeScript/ios#437) to Android — plugins can be written against the standard
napi_*C ABI, with the same ergonomics, the same divergence table, and the same vendored sources.js_native_api_v8.cc+ public headers) from nodejs/node v26.7.0 (b4f23d36), byte-identical to upstream and to the copy in the iOS runtime; provenance, license (MIT/OpenJS NOTICE), and the re-sync procedure live intest-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/napi/vendor/README.md. The small shim (napi/shim/) supplying Node-internal idioms is shared with iOS almost verbatim.napi_envper runtime (main + each Worker), created at the end ofPrepareV8Runtime, destroyed inDestroyRuntimebetweenEventLoop::Shutdown()(which drops queued Node-API entries) and isolate disposal, under the teardown Locker — env ref lists holdv8::Globals. NAPI refs/finalizers stay on stockv8::Global+SetWeak, byte-compatible with upstream.napi_closing) where every JS-side step is posted to the owning runtime's internal lane — producer threads never take the isolate'sLocker;napi_async_workexecutes on a fixed pool of 4 detached native threads (Node's default libuv pool size) and completes on the owning loop; async contexts,napi_make_callback, callback scopes, and env/async cleanup hooks (LIFO, hooks may add/remove hooks while running). Internal-lane entries run under the loop's Locker/scopes and end with a microtask checkpoint, so a promise resolved from native (e.g.napi_resolve_deferredin acompletecallback) settles without waiting for unrelated JS.napi_fatal_exception) goes through the 9.1 containment pipeline —ContainUncaughtCallbackException→errorevent → uncaught-error hooks — and is always contained: underuncaughtErrorPolicy: "throw"it is still fully reported, but never propagated out of a loop entry (there is no native caller beneath one to hand it to)..aarembeds a hand-authored, header-only Prefab package namedNativeScript— the Android-idiomatic equivalent of iOS's "one header search path". A plugin setsbuildFeatures { prefab true }, doesfind_package(NativeScript REQUIRED CONFIG)+target_link_libraries(<addon> NativeScript::NativeScript), and the ecosystem-standard bare#include <node_api.h>compiles exactly as it does against Node and napi-ios (required fornode-addon-api). Exported headers:node_api.h,node_api_types.h,js_native_api.h,js_native_api_types.h,NapiRuntime.h. Linking follows the convention native V8 plugins (e.g.@nativescript/canvas) already use — link the runtime.soextracted from the.aar, exclude it from packaging — documented with the concrete snippet; unlike V8 plugins, Node-API addons need nouseV8Symbols: every flavor exportsnapi_*,node_api_*, andNativeScriptNapiEnv(version-script entries for the optimized flavors, an explicit visibility attribute for the rest).napi_module_register(same contract as iOS — nonode_module_registeralias) and load from JS withrequire("name")— bare specifiers only, consulted after thens:/node:builtin fast path, exports cached per env (Workers get their own instance). Android addition: the existingrequire("<path>.so")loader now initializes addons Node's way — it claims a constructor-registered addon afterdlopen(Node'smodpendingdance, with a claim-clear beforedlopento prevent misattribution of statically-linked registrations), and otherwise probes thenapi_register_module_v1symbol theNAPI_MODULE/node-addon-apimacros emit, so stock ecosystem addons load unmodified by path. This covers the loading half that iOS listed as a follow-up.NativeScriptNapiEnv(): same C entry point as iOS (NapiRuntime.h) for native code outside a Node-API callback — thread-local, returns the env of the runtime on the calling thread or NULL, resolved through the runtime registry under its lock (home-thread check closes the pointer-reuse hole).napi_get_version); envs use module API version 8 (Node's default) — same implications as iOS, documented.docs/node-api.md— plugin-author quickstart (working addon + JS caller, prefab setup, registration, loading, threading contract, finalizer timing, version story) plus the full divergence reference.Divergences from Node
Identical to the iOS runtime's table (deliberately — one addon source, one behavior contract across both runtimes); all written up in
docs/node-api.md:napi_get_uv_event_loop/node_api_get_module_file_name→napi_generic_failure(nouv_loop_t— the runtime drives an Android Looper; no per-module file identity).Uint8Arrays (nonode::Buffer);napi_create_external_bufferstays zero-copy with the teardown-safe finalizer arbitration.ref/unrefare tracked no-ops (the looper belongs to the app/worker).napi_call_threadsafe_functionfrom the env's own thread with a full queue →napi_would_deadlockinstead of wedging the looper.napi_delete_async_workrefuses queued/executing work (napi_generic_failure) rather than leaving the queue a dangling pointer.napi_fatal_exceptionreports and continues (through the error pipeline);napi_fatal_errorstill aborts.NAPI_MODULEmacro registration is path-require only (the symbol carries no module name); constructor registration supports both bare-name and path loading.Deviations from the iOS PR

A Fable-tier independent review of the branch surfaced 4 critical + 6 major findings; all are addressed in the follow-up commit (or tracked):

Shared with the iOS original — tracked there as Node-API: async-work complete callback runs without an entered context ios#441.uncaughtErrorPolicy: "throw", where the error is already fully reported) no longer rethrows to Java from under the TSFN/finalizer drain loops, which would have left a pending JNI exception while the loop kept executing.prefabPublishing, which records thec++_staticSTL that prefab's consumer check rejects for every consumer, bundles the ~100 MB/ABI unstripped runtime into the AAR, and names the package after the gradle project). The package is now namedNativeScript, ships only the 5 public headers (~54 KB), and linking follows the ecosystem convention native V8 plugins already use (link the extracted runtime.so, exclude from packaging) — documented with the concrete snippet.
