Clone github.com/simonw/research to /tmp
Look at the MicroQuickJS report in that folder

Then copy quickjs.html to microquickjs.html and modify it to use MicroQuickJS instead - copy the necessary .wasm file over from that research repository

Test your work with a throwaway playwright Python script before committing

The new page should link to both https://github.com/simonw/research/blob/main/mquickjs-sandbox/README.md and https://github.com/bellard/mquickjs

Creates microquickjs.html - a sandboxed JavaScript executor using
Fabrice Bellard's MicroQuickJS engine compiled to WebAssembly.

Features:
- Minimal ES5-like JavaScript sandbox
- Memory and time limits via WASM isolation
- No console.log (returns last expression value)
- Example snippets adapted for MicroQuickJS dialect
- URL hash sharing for code snippets

Includes mquickjs.js and mquickjs.wasm from research repository.

Code Review Complete ✅

I've thoroughly reviewed the MicroQuickJS code executor implementation. Here's my comprehensive feedback:

Overall Assessment

This is a well-designed, secure JavaScript sandbox implementation. The code is clean, well-structured, and demonstrates good engineering practices.

Strengths

Code Quality & Best Practices

  • Excellent HTML/CSS structure: Semantic markup, responsive design, modern CSS features
  • Clean JavaScript architecture: Well-organized, separation of concerns, consistent naming conventions
  • Modern ES patterns: Proper async/await usage, event delegation, good error boundaries
  • Accessibility considerations: Proper ARIA labels, keyboard navigation (Ctrl/Cmd+Enter, Tab handling)

Security

  • Strong sandboxing: WebAssembly provides excellent isolation from host system
  • Memory limits: 1MB sandbox limit prevents memory exhaustion attacks
  • No eval() usage: Direct WASM function calls avoid JavaScript injection risks
  • Clean state: Sandbox reinitialization for each execution prevents state leakage
  • XSS protection: No innerHTML usage, proper text content handling

Performance

  • Efficient execution: Direct WASM calls minimize JavaScript overhead
  • Smart memory management: Explicit sandbox cleanup, stack save/restore patterns
  • Optimized loading: Proper async/await patterns, non-blocking initialization
  • Resource monitoring: Execution time tracking, performance.now() usage

🔍 Areas for Improvement

Error Handling

  1. URL hash parsing (microquickjs.html:428-435): Try-catch only logs to console, could show user-friendly error message
  2. Clipboard API fallback (microquickjs.html:544-554): Missing fallback for unsupported browsers
  3. WASM load failures: Could provide more specific error messages for different failure modes

Code Robustness

  1. Input validation: No explicit length limits on code input (potential DoS via large payloads)
  2. Hash collision: Multiple rapid hash changes could cause race conditions
  3. Memory cleanup: Consider explicit cleanup on page unload

Minor Enhancements

  1. Code formatting: Consider adding basic syntax highlighting for better UX
  2. Share functionality: Current URL sharing could include metadata (title, description)
  3. Example organization: Could group examples by difficulty/category

🔧 Specific Recommendations

Security Enhancement

// Add input size validation
function executeCode(code) {
    if (code.length > 50000) { // Reasonable limit
        showStatus('Code too large (max 50KB)', 'error');
        return;
    }
    // ... rest of function
}

Error Handling Improvement

// Better clipboard fallback
copyBtn.addEventListener('click', async () => {
    try {
        await navigator.clipboard.writeText(outputEl.textContent);
        // ... success logic
    } catch (e) {
        // Fallback for older browsers
        const textArea = document.createElement('textarea');
        textArea.value = outputEl.textContent;
        document.body.appendChild(textArea);
        textArea.select();
        try {
            document.execCommand('copy');
            copyBtn.textContent = 'Copied!';
        } catch (fallbackError) {
            showStatus('Copy failed - please select and copy manually', 'error');
        }
        document.body.removeChild(textArea);
    }
});

📁 File Analysis

microquickjs.html (589 lines)

  • Architecture: Excellent single-page app structure
  • Styling: Modern, responsive CSS with good UX patterns
  • JavaScript: Clean, well-organized with proper separation of concerns
  • Security: No XSS vulnerabilities, safe content handling

mquickjs.js (21 lines)

  • Purpose: Emscripten-generated WASM loader - standard and safe
  • Size: Minified but readable structure
  • Compatibility: Proper UMD pattern for different module systems

mquickjs.wasm (224KB)

  • Type: Valid WebAssembly MVP binary
  • Size: Reasonable for a JavaScript engine
  • Source: From Fabrice Bellard's trusted MicroQuickJS project

🧪 Test Coverage Recommendations

Consider adding:

  1. Unit tests for core functions (executeCode, hash management, error handling)
  2. Integration tests for WASM loading and execution
  3. Cross-browser compatibility tests
  4. Performance benchmarks for execution limits
  5. Security tests for malicious code injection attempts

🚀 Final Recommendation

APPROVE - This is high-quality code that's ready for production. The implementation is secure, performant, and follows excellent engineering practices. The suggested improvements are minor enhancements rather than critical issues.

The code demonstrates:

  • ✅ Strong security posture
  • ✅ Clean, maintainable architecture
  • ✅ Good user experience
  • ✅ Proper error boundaries
  • ✅ Performance considerations

Priority: Consider implementing input size validation and improved clipboard fallbacks in a follow-up PR.

Make button width: 100% only apply to buttons within .button-group,
not all buttons (like example buttons).
