Beyond the inline nit, I checked that DirentBuffer::IS_U16 = false is safe on Windows — it falls through to the same u8 iterator Buffer already uses (node_fs.rs:6458), so readdir({ withFileTypes: true, encoding: 'buffer' }) on Windows returns UTF-8-encoded Buffer names and never reaches the unreachable!() in append_entry_w. Also confirmed the async copyDir switch from opendir to readdir matches the sync path and Node's own cp implementation.
Extended reasoning...
This is my third pass on this PR; the two prior rounds surfaced four issues (latin1 filter/onLink decoding, dropped event_port comment, double-separator in joinDirEntry, C++ path-caching duplication) that were all addressed in 5137eb4 and b518504. The remaining inline nit (Buffer-typed err.path/err.dest on nested-entry errors) is a real but minor Node-compat divergence on error-object shape only — the copy itself is correct. Given the scope (new FFI surface, Rust+C+++JS, readdir tag semantics change), leaving the final call to a human.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
All three prior review rounds were addressed (UTF-8 decode for filter/onLink, double-separator in joinDirEntry, C++ dedup, Buffer→string in error contexts). No new findings this round, but this touches enough surface — new user-facing readdir shape, new FFI entry point, new async-task variant, and the cp walker rewired to Buffer paths on POSIX — that a human should sign off.
What was reviewed:
createBuffer(globalObject, nameBytes, nameLen)copies into a fresh backing store, so the RustBox<[u8]>freed inDirentBuffer::derefafterto_jsis not a UAF.decorateSystemErrornow stringifiespath/destbefore assigningerr.info/err.path, and theevent_portcomment is back on the extracteddirent_kind_to_uvarm.Buffer/Buffer.isBuffer/Buffer.concatin cp-sync.ts are captured at module load fromnode:buffer, not read off the global — ruled out as a tamper vector.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR fixes two related Node-compat gaps: (1) readdir*({ withFileTypes: true, encoding: 'buffer' }) previously dropped withFileTypes and returned bare Buffer[]; it now returns Dirent[] with Buffer name. (2) Recursive cp/cpSync failed on POSIX trees containing non-UTF-8 entry names because names were round-tripped through lossy JS strings; the walker now reads entries as Buffers and joins child paths byte-exact. It touches src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs (new ReaddirTag::WithFileTypesBuffer threaded through sync/async/recursive paths and the async task cleanup), src/runtime/node/types.rs (new DirentBuffer + extracted dirent_kind_to_uv), src/jsc/bindings/NodeDirent.cpp (new Bun__Dirent__toJSWithBufferName FFI + shared createDirentObject helper), src/js/internal/fs/cp-sync.ts / cp.ts (Buffer path handling: joinDirEntry, pathToString, kReaddirBufferOpts), plus ~170 lines of new tests.
Security risks
None identified. The change reads directory entries as raw bytes and passes them straight back to filesystem syscalls — no new parsing of untrusted input, no new privilege boundary. createBuffer copies name bytes into a JS-owned backing store before the Rust Box<[u8]> is dropped, so there is no borrowed-pointer-into-freed-memory across the FFI. The built-in JS captures Buffer from require('node:buffer') at module load, so Buffer.isBuffer/Buffer.concat/Buffer.from are not user-overridable via the global.
Level of scrutiny
Medium-high. This is Node-compat surface (node:fs) with a new user-visible API shape and a new FFI entry point, and it rewires the cp walker's path representation on every POSIX platform. It has already been through three review iterations, each of which found a real regression (latin1 vs UTF-8 in filter/onLink → mojibake and dangling symlinks; unconditional separator → // in filter args; Buffer leaking into err.path), all now fixed with tests. The remaining risk is subtle Node-compat divergence in edge cases (e.g., isSrcSubdir on non-UTF-8 components now compares U+FFFD-normalized strings — same as pre-PR behavior since paths were already strings, but worth a maintainer glance) and the async copyDir switching from streaming opendir to batched readdir.
Other factors
Test coverage is solid: sync/async/recursive readdir shape, raw-byte round-trip, byte-exact tree copy with three non-UTF-8 name shapes, merge into existing dest, filter receiving proper UTF-8 strings, symlink resolution inside a non-ASCII directory, trailing-slash normalization, and err.path type on nested-entry errors. All prior inline threads are resolved. Given the breadth (Rust + C++ + built-in JS + new API behavior) and the fact that each prior review pass surfaced something, deferring to a human for the final sign-off rather than auto-approving.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
All prior findings from earlier passes have been addressed (UTF-8 decode for filter/onLink, joinDirEntry separator dedup, createDirentObject extraction, err.path stringification, restored event_port comment) and this pass found nothing new. Still, this is a ~400-line change threading a new DirentBuffer type through the sync/async/recursive readdir paths across Rust, C++ FFI, and the cp builtins — worth a human look.
What was reviewed: the new ReaddirTag::WithFileTypesBuffer plumbing through node_fs.rs (async task result variants, ReaddirEntry impl, tag dispatch); DirentBuffer lifetime/deref and the Bun__Dirent__toJSWithBufferName FFI + createDirentObject path-caching helper; the cp walkers' Buffer-path handling (joinDirEntry, pathToString, decorateSystemError) on POSIX vs Windows; and the opendir→readdir swap in async copyDir.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Adds readdir({ withFileTypes: true, encoding: 'buffer' }) support (new DirentBuffer type in types.rs, Bun__Dirent__toJSWithBufferName FFI in NodeDirent.cpp, ReaddirTag::WithFileTypesBuffer threaded through node_fs.rs sync/async/recursive paths) and switches the cp/cpSync walkers to consume it on POSIX so non-UTF-8 entry names survive the readdir→lstat/mkdir/copyFile round-trip byte-exact. Windows keeps string names. Tests cover Dirent shape (sync/async/recursive), byte preservation, filter/symlink UTF-8 correctness, trailing-slash join, and error-path stringification.
Security risks
None identified. No new untrusted-input parsing; entry names come from getdents64 and flow into existing PathLike validation. createBuffer copies the name bytes so no lifetime is borrowed across the FFI boundary.
Level of scrutiny
High. This spans three languages with FFI, adds a refcounted type (DirentBuffer owns a Box<[u8]> and a bun_core::String with manual deref()), plumbs a new variant through the async readdir task machinery (ResultListEntryValue, IntoResultListEntry, append_from, drop paths), and changes user-observable Node-compat behavior in both readdir and fs.cp. It also swaps async copyDir from streaming opendir to buffered readdir. Three prior review rounds surfaced real regressions (latin1 filter mojibake, double separators, Buffer err.path), all now fixed with tests — but that history is itself a signal the surface is subtle.
Other factors
All five earlier inline findings are resolved and the fixes look correct in the current diff. Test coverage is good (both impls × non-UTF-8/merge/filter/symlink/trailing-slash/err.path; readdir sync/async/recursive). The IS_U16 = false on DirentBuffer means Windows readdir with buffer+withFileTypes won't take the wide-char iterator arm — I did not trace whether that combination is reachable on Windows and whether Node's behavior matches there; a human familiar with the Windows readdir path should confirm.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I reviewed this PR (including the new resolveLinkTarget / kReadlinkOpts symlink-target handling in f8544ac) and didn't find any bugs. Because it threads a new readdir variant through native sync/async/recursive paths (Rust + C++ FFI) and reworks cp's path representation and symlink resolution on POSIX, a human look would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
DirentBufferlifecycle and the sharedcreateDirentObjecthelper — path-string ref-drop andcreateBuffername slot look correct.resolveLinkTarget's UTF-8 fast path vs. latin1dirnamefallback — bytes round-trip and the result feedssymlinkSyncas a Buffer, so no re-encoding loss.decorateSystemErrornow stringifies Bufferpath/dest, andjoinDirEntryskips the separator whendiralready ends in one — both prior findings verified fixed.- Windows keeps string names (
kReaddirBufferOpts/kReadlinkOptsgate onprocess.platform), so the stringjoin/resolvepaths are unchanged there.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Two intertwined fixes: (1) readdir*({ withFileTypes: true, encoding: 'buffer' }) now returns Dirent[] with Buffer name (was bare Buffer[]), via a new ReaddirTag::WithFileTypesBuffer / DirentBuffer type in Rust, a new Bun__Dirent__toJSWithBufferName C++ entry point sharing a createDirentObject helper with the string path, and matching arms in the async-task result plumbing; (2) the fs.cp/cpSync walkers read entries as Buffers on POSIX and concatenate child paths byte-exact (joinDirEntry), bridging back to strings only for filter, error contexts, and isSrcSubdir. f8544ac extends this to symlink targets: readlink returns a Buffer on POSIX and resolveLinkTarget re-anchors relative targets without lossy UTF-8 round-trips, falling back to a latin1 dirname round-trip only when either side is not valid UTF-8.
Security risks
None identified. Paths are filesystem paths already trusted at the fs boundary; no new parsing of untrusted input, no shell/eval, no auth. The latin1 dirname round-trip is byte-preserving on POSIX (/ is ASCII) and is only used to split a path the process already read from disk.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is Node-compat surface (node:fs cp/readdir) with observable semantics (filter args, error .path, symlink target bytes) and touches native memory management (DirentBuffer::deref, transferToWTFString ref-drop in the shared C++ helper, the async ResultListEntryValue deinit arm). Three prior review passes each surfaced a real Node-compat regression that was then fixed; the newest commit adds another non-trivial branchy helper (resolveLinkTarget). A human should sanity-check that helper's edge cases (e.g. relative targets containing .. in the non-UTF-8 branch are concatenated rather than resolve-normalized — harmless for the syscall but a shape change) and the two open comment-cop flags on the explanatory comments.
Other factors
All four of my earlier inline findings were addressed with code + tests. Test coverage is broad (byte-exact tree, merge, filter+preserveTimestamps, symlink name/target/dir with non-UTF-8, trailing-slash filter, nested-entry err.path type, plus Dirent-shape tests for sync/async/recursive). The async copyDir switched from opendir streaming to buffered readdir — behaviorally equivalent for cp's use but worth a glance.

I reviewed this PR and the bug hunter found no issues this run; the four earlier findings (latin1 filter/onLink decode, dropped event_port comment, doubled separator in joinDirEntry, Buffer err.path, and the C++ duplication) are all addressed in the current diff. Because the change threads a new DirentBuffer type through the sync/async/recursive readdir paths in Rust, adds a C++ FFI entry point, and introduces encoding-aware symlink-target resolution (resolveLinkTarget with a latin1 round-trip through node:path plus cwd handling) in a built-in module, a human look would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
DirentBufferlifecycle:deref()on every drop path (ResultListEntryValue::drop,to_js_newly_created,destroy_entry);IS_U16 = falsematches the existingBufferpattern so Windows takes the u8 iterator.resolveLinkTarget: the UTF-8 fast path preserves prior string behavior; the non-UTF-8 branch keeps bytes exact for both the link's directory and the target — covered by the three new symlink tests.- Async
copyDirswitching fromopendir(streaming) toawait readdir(buffered) — correct, but worth a maintainer glance for very large directories.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR fixes recursive fs.cp/fs.cpSync on POSIX for directory trees containing entries with non-UTF-8 byte names, and separately makes readdir({ withFileTypes: true, encoding: 'buffer' }) return Dirent[] with Buffer names (fixing #30482, #27914). It touches four layers: Rust (node_fs.rs adds a WithFileTypesBuffer variant to ReaddirTag/ret::Readdir/ResultListEntryValue and a ReaddirEntry impl; types.rs adds DirentBuffer + extracts dirent_kind_to_uv), C++ (NodeDirent.cpp extracts createDirentObject and adds Bun__Dirent__toJSWithBufferName), built-in JS (cp-sync.ts/cp.ts read entries as Buffers on POSIX, join child paths as Buffers, add resolveLinkTarget/isAbsoluteLinkTarget for byte-exact symlink-target handling, and stringify Buffer paths in decorateSystemError), plus ~260 lines of new tests across cp.test.ts and fs.test.ts.
Security risks
None identified. The change is confined to Node.js fs compatibility. No new untrusted-input parsing; joinDirEntry concatenates only names returned by readdir on the source tree (no user-controlled path components beyond what cp already accepted). pathToString decodes as UTF-8 for user-visible surfaces (filter, err.path), matching Node.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is Node-compat code in a built-in module (src/js/internal/fs) plus native readdir plumbing that runs on every recursive readdir/cp call. The resolveLinkTarget helper is the most delicate part: it branches on isUtf8(target) and isUtf8(linkPath) to keep prior string semantics for the common case, and for non-UTF-8 falls back to a latin1 round-trip through dirname (bytes preserved) followed by manual cwd-join — subtle enough that the two dedicated tests (non-UTF-8 target, non-UTF-8 parent dir with relative src) are load-bearing. The Rust side is more mechanical (mirrors the existing Dirent/Buffer shapes) but adds a fifth arm to several enums and a new drop path.
Other factors
I reviewed this PR three times previously; all four findings (latin1 vs UTF-8 in pathToString, dropped event_port comment, doubled separator in joinDirEntry, Buffer-typed err.path, and the C++ body duplication) were fixed and each has a regression test. Since my last review two substantive commits landed: f8544ac6 added the symlink-target Buffer handling (kReadlinkOpts/resolveLinkTarget) and 99bb4661 tightened comments. The async copyDir also changed from for await (opendir(...)) to for (await readdir(...)) — behaviorally correct and necessary for encoding: 'buffer' Dirents, but buffers the whole directory listing in memory rather than streaming it, which is a trade-off a maintainer should sign off on. Test coverage is thorough (byte-exact tree, merge-into-existing, filter+preserveTimestamps, three symlink shapes, trailing-slash, err.path type, and the readdir Dirent shape sync/async/recursive). Given the cross-language scope and the newly-added symlink-target resolution logic, this exceeds the "simple and mechanical" bar for auto-approval.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I reviewed the current revision and didn't find any bugs. Given the scope — new native DirentBuffer type threaded through the sync/async/recursive readdir paths, a new C++ FFI entry point, and the latin1-view path-normalization approach in the cp walkers — a human look would still be worthwhile before merge.
What was reviewed:
- The reworked
joinDirEntry/copiedLinkTarget(dc85c84): valid-UTF-8 names now stay strings sofilter/error paths and symlink targets match the pre-PR behavior byte-for-byte; the latin1 round-trip is only taken for names that are not UTF-8 and preserves on-disk bytes throughpath.join/resolve. isSrcSubdirafterpathToString: distinct non-UTF-8 bytes both decode to U+FFFD, but the walker builds both sides from the same prefix so no false positive is reachable.decorateSystemErrornow stringifies Bufferpath/dest, and thecreateDirentObjecthelper deduplicates the C++ path-cache logic — both prior findings addressed.- The async
copyDirswitch fromopendirtoreaddir(src, kReaddirBufferOpts)(needed for Buffer names); the sync twin already usedreaddirSync.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR fixes #27914 and the Dirent-shape half of #30482 by making readdir({ withFileTypes: true, encoding: 'buffer' }) return Dirent[] with Buffer name (previously it dropped withFileTypes and returned bare Buffer[]), and uses that to make recursive fs.cp/fs.cpSync copy directory entries and symlink targets with non-UTF-8 names byte-exact on POSIX. It touches seven files across three languages: a new DirentBuffer Rust type with its own to_js FFI path (types.rs), a new ReaddirTag::WithFileTypesBuffer variant threaded through the sync, async, and async-recursive readdir machinery in node_fs.rs, a new Bun__Dirent__toJSWithBufferName extern in NodeDirent.cpp (with the shared body extracted into createDirentObject), and the cp walker changes in cp-sync.ts/cp.ts that read entries as Buffers on POSIX and keep paths as strings until a non-UTF-8 name forces a Buffer.
Security risks
None identified. The change reads directory entries and symlink targets that the caller already had permission to read, and writes them under a caller-supplied destination. No new user-controlled data reaches a parser, allocator size, or shell. The latin1-view trick is a lossless byte↔code-unit bijection used only to run path.join/path.resolve on Buffer paths; it never widens what the syscall layer sees beyond what a Buffer PathLike already accepted.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is Node-compat surface (fs.readdir return shape, fs.cp filter/error contracts) with subtle encoding semantics that took four review rounds to converge: earlier revisions regressed valid-UTF-8 non-ASCII names in filter and symlink targets, doubled separators, leaked Buffer paths into err.path, and the current revision reworked the join strategy again (dc85c84) so string paths are preserved until a name forces a Buffer. The encoding reasoning is now sound — Buffer.from(str) → .toString('latin1') → path.join → Buffer.from(result, 'latin1') is the identity on the UTF-8 bytes of str, and for a Buffer it is the identity on its bytes — but it is the kind of invariant a maintainer should confirm they're comfortable owning. The native side also adds a new match arm to every ResultListEntryValue/ReaddirTag switch and a new ReaddirEntry impl; I checked that every existing switch site got the new arm (drop_entries, reserve_exact, append_from, then, perform_work, readdir).
Other factors
All four of my prior inline findings are addressed and resolved in the timeline. The bug-hunting pass on 75460cf found nothing; the one candidate raised (U+FFFD collision in isSrcSubdir) was refuted. Test coverage is thorough (byte-exact tree, merge-into-existing, filter+preserveTimestamps, err.path type, symlink name/target/dir, valid-UTF-8 non-ASCII regression guard, join-normalization for ./////x/.. shapes, and the readdir Dirent shape for sync/async/recursive). One comment-cop bot flag on cp-sync.ts:159 remains unresolved on the latest commit, but the comments there are already one to two lines each; that looks like a heuristic false positive a maintainer can dismiss. Given the breadth (Rust + C++ + built-in JS), the user-facing API-shape change, and the number of iterations this took, I'm deferring rather than approving.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I reviewed the current revision and didn't find any bugs. The prior inline findings (latin1 filter strings, doubled separator, Buffer err.path, dropped event_port comment, C++ duplication) are all addressed with tests pinning each. Because the redesigned encoding bridge (joinDirEntry/copiedLinkTarget routing Buffer paths through path.join/resolve via a latin1 view) and the opendir→readdir switch in the async walker are both subtle Node-compat design choices, a human look is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
WebCore::createBuffercopies (memcpy), soDirentBuffer::to_js_newly_createddroppingself.nameafterwards is safe.latin1Viewon a string parent goes throughBuffer.from(utf8)first, so the round-trip back toBuffer.from(..., "latin1")yields the correct on-disk bytes for both UTF-8 parents and Buffer parents.- The new
WithFileTypesBufferarm is threaded through every readdir path (sync, async task, recursive task,ResultListEntryValue::deinit,append_from,reserve_exact) with matching cleanup.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Two intertwined fixes: (1) readdir({withFileTypes:true, encoding:'buffer'}) now returns Dirent[] with Buffer name instead of bare Buffer[] — a new ReaddirTag::WithFileTypesBuffer / DirentBuffer variant is threaded through node_fs.rs (sync/async/recursive), types.rs, and a new C++ entry point Bun__Dirent__toJSWithBufferName that shares createDirentObject with the string-name path. (2) The cp/cpSync walkers now read entries with encoding:'buffer' on POSIX and keep child paths as strings until a name that is not valid UTF-8 is met, at which point the subtree is carried as Buffers built by running path.join/path.resolve on a latin1 view so normalization matches the string path exactly. Symlink targets get the same treatment via copiedLinkTarget. filter() args and err.path/err.dest are always UTF-8-decoded strings (U+FFFD for the offending bytes), matching Node. Roughly 400 source lines across 5 files plus ~320 test lines.
Security risks
None identified. Paths originate from readdir/readlink of the user's own source tree; no new untrusted-input parsing. The latin1 bridge cannot introduce NULs or separators that weren't already in the on-disk bytes. createBuffer copies name bytes, so no borrowed-slice lifetime crosses the FFI boundary.
Level of scrutiny
Medium-high. fs.cp is user-facing Node compat, and the encoding bridge is subtle enough that three earlier revisions of this branch had real bugs (latin1 reaching filter/symlinkSync, doubled separators, Buffer err.path) — all now fixed and each pinned by a dedicated test. The native side is mechanical pattern-following of the existing WithFileTypes/Buffers variants.
Other factors
- The current revision is a redesign (dc85c84) relative to the one my earlier inline comments targeted: it now defers the Buffer switch until a non-UTF-8 name is encountered specifically so
./from,from//,x/../tokeep producing the exactpath.joinoutput Node hands tofilter. That is a defensible design choice but one a maintainer should ratify, since an alternative (e.g. a native Buffer-aware join) would avoid the latin1 view altogether. - Async
copyDirswitched fromopendir(streaming) toawait readdir(materialize all entries), which is required for the buffer-name Dirent path but changes memory shape for very large directories. The sync side already usedreaddirSync. - Test coverage is thorough: byte-exact tree copies with and without
filter, merge into existing dest, filter+preserveTimestamps, stringerr.pathfor both UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 conflicts, three symlink scenarios (non-UTF-8 name, non-UTF-8 target, relative link inside a non-UTF-8 dir with a relativesrc), a UTF-8-non-ASCII regression guard against mojibake infilter, and a cross-platformpath.join-normalization pin for five src/dest shapes.fs.test.tscovers the Dirent shape for sync/async/recursive. - One comment-cop inline (2026-08-13T07:58:13Z) is still open, but the flagged comments were shortened in 75460cf and each is now one line in the current file; that appears to be a stale trigger on an intermediate push.
isSrcSubdircompares viapathToString(UTF-8 decode), so two distinct non-UTF-8 components that both decode to U+FFFD could in theory false-positive; Node's own string-based check has the same limitation, so not flagged.
…yte-exact in cp/cpSync
On POSIX, directory entry names and symlink targets are arbitrary bytes.
The ported cp walker read them as JS strings (a lossy UTF-8 decode) and
re-encoded them for the next syscall, so a tree containing a name that is
not valid UTF-8 failed with ENOENT on a path containing U+FFFD, and a link
whose target was not UTF-8 was copied dangling.
readdir({ withFileTypes: true, encoding: 'buffer' }) now returns Dirent
objects whose name is a Buffer (withFileTypes used to be dropped when the
encoding was 'buffer'), backed by a DirentBuffer variant threaded through the
sync, async and recursive readdir paths. The cp walkers read entries that way
on POSIX. A name that is valid UTF-8 goes straight back to a string and
through path.join exactly as before; only a name that is not UTF-8 turns its
path, and the paths below it, into a Buffer, which is joined and resolved on a
latin1 view so it gets the same normalization as a string path and reaches
every syscall byte for byte. readlink is handled the same way. filter() and
the SystemError path/dest fields keep receiving strings, as in node. Windows
keeps string names throughout, since its names are native UTF-16.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Check for a pending exception before you store the Buffer name.
WebCore::createBuffer allocates a JS Buffer and can throw OutOfMemory. On failure it returns an empty JSValue. The current code passes that empty value into createDirentObject, which writes it into a live object slot with putDirectOffset and returns the object. Debug JSC builds assert on empty values in object slots.
Add a throw scope and return early when the allocation fails.
As per coding guidelines: "Check for exceptions after every call that can enter JavaScript or execute user code before using its result."

Reading opts.filter on the as const union is a type error.
as const gives the array element type { readonly recursive: true } | { readonly recursive: true; readonly filter: () => boolean }. The first member has no filter property, so opts.filter does not type check. Bun runs the file without type checking, so the test passes today, but a repository type check over test/** would fail.
Name the two cases instead of probing the option object.

Add a verbatimSymlinks: true case for a non-UTF-8 target.
copiedLinkTarget has a verbatim branch that returns the Buffer target unchanged, so the raw bytes go straight to symlinkSync/symlink. No test in this file sets verbatimSymlinks: true, so that branch and the Buffer-target PathLike handling are uncovered.
Reuse this fixture and assert the copied link keeps the original relative bytes instead of the resolved absolute path.

Extend the byte-preservation test to the recursive path.
This test only calls the non-recursive form, which uses DirentBuffer::append_entry in src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs. The recursive form uses DirentBuffer::append_entry_recursive, a separate function that also chooses between the basename and the joined name. No test exercises it with non-UTF-8 bytes.
Add a nested non-UTF-8 entry and a recursive call.

🟡 isSrcSubdir now decodes Buffer arguments via pathToString() (UTF-8 with U+FFFD replacement), which is lossy — in onLink, two unrelated non-UTF-8 link targets (e.g. /data/dir<0xe9> vs /data/dir<0xe4>/sub) both collapse to '…/dir�' and falsely trip ERR_FS_CP_EINVAL. The earlier review noted the latin1 bridge is "only sound for isSrcSubdir where both sides get the same treatment and the result is never re-encoded"; commit 5137eb4 correctly switched pathToString to UTF-8 for filter/errors but swept isSrcSubdir along with it — use latin1View() (defined immediately above for exactly this bijective purpose) here instead. Same in cp.ts via the shared export.
Extended reasoning...
What the bug is
isSrcSubdir compares path components by first stringifying its arguments with pathToString():
function pathToString(p) {
return Buffer.isBuffer(p) ? p.toString() : p; // UTF-8 decode, invalid bytes → U+FFFD
}
function isSrcSubdir(src, dest) {
const srcArr = normalizePathToArray(pathToString(src));
const destArr = normalizePathToArray(pathToString(dest));
return ArrayPrototypeEvery.$call(srcArr, (cur, i) => destArr[i] === cur);
}Buffer.prototype.toString() decodes as UTF-8 with replacement, so distinct invalid bytes (0xe9, 0xe4, 0xff, …) all become the same code point U+FFFD. Two distinct on-disk paths can therefore compare component-equal.
Code path that triggers it
The reachable site is onLink (both cp-sync.ts:518/526 and cp.ts). resolvedSrc and resolvedDest come from readlink(…, { encoding: 'buffer' }) on different symlinks (source vs pre-existing dest), so their bytes can genuinely differ. When either target is not valid UTF-8, copiedLinkTarget returns a Buffer (its isUtf8(target) check declines to stringify), and both Buffers reach isSrcSubdir.
The checkPathsSync call site is not affected: srcItem/destItem there are built from the same entry name via joinDirEntry, so any non-UTF-8 tail bytes are identical on both sides and the string heads (src/dest) already differ.
Step-by-step proof
Merging into an existing dest, both trees contain sub/link (a directory symlink):
- Source
sub/link→/data/dir\xe9(a directory). - Dest
sub/link→/data/dir\xe4/inner. onLink:resolvedSrc = copiedLinkTarget(src, readlinkSync(src, {encoding:'buffer'}), false)→ target bytes64 61 74 61 2f 64 69 72 e9are not UTF-8 → returned asBuffer. Absolute, so returned verbatim.resolvedDest = copiedLinkTarget(dest, readlinkSync(dest, {encoding:'buffer'}), false)→Buffer</data/dir\xe4/inner>.statSync(src).isDirectory()is true →isSrcSubdir(resolvedSrc, resolvedDest).pathToString(resolvedSrc)='/data/dir�';pathToString(resolvedDest)='/data/dir�/inner'.normalizePathToArray→['data','dir�']vs['data','dir�','inner']; every src component matches →true.onLinkthrowsERR_FS_CP_EINVAL: cannot copy … to a subdirectory of self …for two paths that share no directory on disk.
Why existing code doesn't prevent it
The follow-up commit for the earlier review ("The latin1 bridge is only sound for isSrcSubdir where both sides get the same treatment and the result is never re-encoded") changed pathToString from latin1 to UTF-8 so filter() and error objects see Node-shaped strings — correct for those consumers. But isSrcSubdir was moved onto pathToString at the same time, losing the bijective property the review comment specifically carved out for it. latin1View() is defined three functions above (comment: "latin1 maps each byte to one code unit and back") for exactly this purpose and is already used in joinDirEntry/copiedLinkTarget.
Impact — why nit, not normal
- Not a regression. Before this PR,
readlinkSync(src)returned a UTF-8-decoded string with the same U+FFFD replacement, soisSrcSubdirsaw the same collapsed components and produced the identical false positive. Node.js's cp reads links as strings and has the same behavior. - Fail-closed. The failure mode is a spurious
ERR_FS_CP_EINVAL, not silent corruption or a dangling link. - Extraordinarily narrow trigger. Requires merging into an existing dest where both source and dest already have symlinks at the same nested location, both targets contain invalid-UTF-8 bytes, and the distinct invalid bytes land at the same component position.
Worth the two-token fix since the PR is specifically about byte-exact handling and the helper is right there, but not merge-blocking.
Fix
function isSrcSubdir(src, dest) {
const srcArr = normalizePathToArray(latin1View(src));
const destArr = normalizePathToArray(latin1View(dest));
return ArrayPrototypeEvery.$call(srcArr, (cur, i) => destArr[i] === cur);
}latin1View already handles both string and Buffer inputs, and its result is only compared component-wise then discarded — never re-encoded — so the mojibake concern from the earlier review does not apply here.

Fixes #27914. Addresses the
Dirent[]/ Buffernamepart of #30482 (see "Scope" below).Problem
On POSIX, directory entry names are arbitrary byte strings (only NUL and
/are reserved). Recursivefs.cpSync/fs.promises.cp/fs.cpfail on any tree containing such a name:\357\277\275is U+FFFD: the entry name was decoded as UTF-8 into a JS string, then re-encoded as UTF-8 for the next syscall.readdirSync({ encoding: "buffer" })and recursivermSyncalready handle these bytes correctly; only the cp walker round-tripped through a lossy string. Node's cp (andcp -r) copy such trees byte-exact. Symlink targets had the same round trip throughreadlink().Separately,
readdirSync(p, { withFileTypes: true, encoding: "buffer" })silently droppedwithFileTypesand returned bareBuffer[], sodirent.namewasundefined(#27914). Node returnsDirent[]withnameas aBuffer.Cause
copyDirinsrc/js/internal/fs/cp-sync.ts/cp.tslisted entries withreaddirSync(src, { withFileTypes: true }), sodirent.namewas always a (possibly lossy) string, andonLinkread targets withreadlink()returning a string.args::Readdir::tag()mappedencoding: "buffer"toReaddirTag::Buffersregardless ofwithFileTypes, so a byte-preserving Dirent was not reachable.Fix
readdir*({ withFileTypes: true, encoding: "buffer" })now returnsDirent[]with a Buffername(sync, async and recursive). A newDirentBuffercarries the raw name bytes through the existing readdir paths andBun__Dirent__toJSWithBufferNamebuilds the object withcreateBufferfor the name slot.{ withFileTypes: true, encoding: "buffer" }on POSIX. A name that is valid UTF-8 is turned back into a string and joined withpath.joinexactly as before, so for every tree that copied before this change the walker,filterarguments and error objects see the same strings as before (and as on Windows, which keeps string names since filenames there are native UTF-16). Only a name that is not UTF-8 makes its path, and the paths below it, a Buffer, which everylstat/mkdir/copyFile/symlinkthen receives byte for byte.path.join/path.resolveare run on a latin1 view of those bytes (latin1 maps each byte to one code unit and back), so Buffer paths get the same normalization as string paths.readlinkis asked for a Buffer on POSIX and handled the same way: a UTF-8 target becomes a string and is resolved as before; a target that is not UTF-8, or a link that sits under a directory whose name is not UTF-8, is resolved on the latin1 view (with the cwd passed in explicitly, sincepath.resolvewould otherwise fall back toprocess.cwd()as a UTF-8 string), so the copied link points at the exact bytes instead of dangling.filteranderr.path/err.destreceive strings in the Buffer case too (the offending bytes decode to U+FFFD), which is the type node's cp hands out;isSrcSubdirdecodes both sides the same way.clonefile()fast path is unchanged; on Linux the JS walker remains the directory path (the native walker does not preserve directory modes).Scope
parentPathon the returned Dirents is a string. In node it follows the type of thepathargument (a Buffer argument yields a BufferparentPath); bun returns a string for the plainwithFileTypescase today as well, and this PR does not change that, which is whyfs.readdir({ withFileTypes: true, encoding: 'buffer' })returnsUint8Array[]instead ofDirent[]#30482 (whose repro passes a Buffer) is not marked as fixed here. fs.readdir: return Dirent with Buffer name when encoding is "buffer" #30484 implements that rule and stays open for it.filterand error objects receive for unnormalized inputs such ascpSync("./src", ...); the current revision keeps the string path until a name that is not UTF-8 is met, and a test now pins the nestedfilterarguments topath.join's output on every platform.AsyncReaddirRecursiveTask::then, so theWithFileTypesBufferarm lives there;DirentBufferfollows the narrowed visibility ofDirent; the tests use thetempDirhelpercp.test.tsswitched to.Verification
