-**`require('http')` linked runtime-only, so every stdlib-backed builtin reached that way returned `undefined` (#8547).**
-
-Same program, two import forms, opposite outcomes:
-
-```
-import * as http from 'node:http';   →  Linking (with stdlib)...   typeof createServer() === "object"
-const http = require('http');        →  Linking (runtime-only)...  typeof createServer() === undefined
-```
-
-**Cause.** `ctx.native_module_imports` — which drives `needs_stdlib` and therefore the link mode — was populated only by the ESM import walk in `collect_modules.rs`. A CommonJS `require("http")` never landed in it, so the link came out runtime-only, `perry-stdlib`'s `common/dispatch/init.rs` never ran, `JS_NATIVE_HTTP_DISPATCH` stayed null, and the `("http", "createServer")` arm in `native_module_dispatch/dispatch_d_i.rs` took its documented null branch and returned `undefined`. Nothing about this was http-specific: any stdlib-backed builtin reached through `require` behaved the same way.
-
-**Why the obvious fix does not work.** Recovering the requirement from the lowered HIR — the way `uses_dgram` does — fails, and it is worth writing down so nobody retries it. For `require('http')` the module name never becomes a `module:` marker; the CJS shim emits a *runtime* dispatcher that switches over builtin names as string literals, and that switch contains a case for **every** builtin regardless of what the program uses. A static scan of the HIR would match the table rather than the call and link the stdlib into every CJS program.
-
-The fix therefore reads the literal call sites, which is exactly what `cjs_wrap::extract_require_specifiers` already extracts for CJS wrapping: any `require("<literal>")` whose specifier satisfies `perry_hir::requires_stdlib` now feeds `needs_stdlib` / `native_module_imports` alongside the import walk.
-
-**Scope, verified by measurement** — the change can only add stdlib linking for a program that genuinely references a stdlib-backed builtin:
-
-| program | link mode | binary |
-|---|---|---|
-| `console.log(...)` only | runtime-only (unchanged) | 7.7 MB |
-| `require("path")` (runtime-only module) | runtime-only (unchanged) | 7.8 MB |
-| `require("http")` | with stdlib (was runtime-only) | 14 MB |
-
-Dynamic `require(someVar)` remains statically undetectable and is unchanged; the generated dispatcher can reach any builtin, so whether that case should force stdlib linking is a separate product decision, noted on #8547.
-
-`crates/perry/tests/issue_4903_listen_callback_deferred.rs` goes 0/2 → 2/2, which clears the last sweep-tier `cargo-test` failure on `main`.
-
-Closes #8547.

+**Revert "treat `require(<builtin>)` as a stdlib requirement" (#8548) — it caused a runtime-only link failure.**
+
+#8548 fixed a real bug (#8547: `require('http')` linked runtime-only, so every stdlib-backed builtin reached that way returned `undefined`, and `issue_4903_listen_callback_deferred` went 0/2 → 2/2). It also broke `issue_5247_property_read_source_location`, which had been passing:
+
+```
+compile ["--debug-symbols"] must succeed; stderr:
+/usr/bin/ld: libperry_runtime.a(...): in function `js_webassembly_validate':
+  undefined reference to `perry_wasm_host_validate'
+  undefined reference to `perry_wasm_host_module_new'
+  … collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
+```
+
+**Attribution is solid, which is why this is a revert and not a follow-up patch.** The suite passed on `1c2326554` (the commit immediately before) and fails on `b00e261f8` (with #8548) in **both** sweep runs of that SHA — deterministic, not a flake. It does *not* reproduce locally, which is the tell for a feature-unification effect rather than a logic error: under `cargo test --workspace` cargo unifies features across the whole graph, so pulling perry-stdlib onto more compile paths changes what `target/debug/libperry_runtime.a` contains. The archive then carries `webassembly.rs`'s code, whose `extern` declarations are satisfied only by the separate `perry-wasm-host` crate — which a runtime-only link line does not include.
+
+So the honest position is that #8548's *diagnosis* stands and its *link-mode consequence* was not thought through: making a program need the stdlib is not free, and the runtime-only link path is not prepared for everything the stdlib's feature set drags into the runtime archive. Fixing #8547 properly needs that interaction handled — either by ensuring `perry-wasm-host` is on the link line whenever the runtime archive contains wasm code, or by keeping the wasm surface out of it.
+
+Net effect of this revert: `issue_4903` returns to failing (2 tests, the pre-existing #8547 symptom) and `issue_5247` returns to passing (3 tests). Main is red either way; this restores the *known* red rather than a new link-level one, which is the safer state to leave a release branch in — a link regression can bite real builds, not just tests.
+
+Reopens #8547.
