- Line 3: Replace the shell-based exec pipeline in the process-stdin test with
spawn-based child processes using argument arrays. Start writer.js and reader.js
separately, connect writer.stdout to reader.stdin, concurrently drain both
stderr streams and reader.stdout, and assert both child exit results after
validating output; preserve platform behavior and verify on POSIX and Windows.

Replace the shell pipeline with direct child processes.
exec invokes a shell. On POSIX, $() and backticks in the quoted bunExe() path still execute, and an embedded " breaks the command. The pipeline status also reflects only reader.js, so a failing writer.js can be hidden.
Use spawn() with argument arrays, pipe writer.stdout to reader.stdin, drain both stderr streams and reader stdout concurrently, and assert both child exit results after output assertions. Run bun bd test test/js/node/process/process-stdin.test.ts on POSIX and Windows.

process.stdin(and any streamingFileReaderover a real pipe) delivering some chunks twice, which madetest/js/node/test/parallel/test-http-chunk-problem.jsfail on Linux after #38656.FileReader.on_pullcan re-enterPosixBufferedReader::readon the same reader while an outer read loop is insideon_read_chunk. Since #38656 that nested frame can't claim the per-loop scratch buffer, soread_blocking_pipetakes its_bufferbranch. That branch dispatched only the newest slice but reinstalled the whole buffer, delivered bytes included, and because_bufferkept its capacity every later top-level read was demoted to the same branch. On the final HUP drain (several reads then EOF in one frame)on_reader_donehanded the retained bytes to the stream a second time.Now the branch keeps only what re-entry appended after a dispatch, and the scratch/
_bufferchoice keys onis_empty()rather thancapacity() == 0so one nested pull doesn't permanently drop a reader from 256 KB scratch reads to 16 KB buffered ones.How did you verify your code works?
Added a
process-stdin.test.tscase that pipes 10 MiB throughsh -c 'bun | bun'and checks byte count + sha1. Against the #38656 release build it fails 5/5 on macOS (reader sees 10.6–10.8 MB); with this change it passes, andbun bd test/js/node/test/parallel/test-http-chunk-problem.jsexits 0.
