Resolve readdir entries of unknown type in the remaining consumers (create, bin links, bunx, fs.watch, cp, ls, init)

[robobun]

Stacked on #38716 (the first commit is a squashed copy of its current head: it adds WrappedIterator::resolve_unknown_entry_types and the dtUnknownReaddir test helper used here) and on #39096 (the second commit, the bunx directories.bin path fix the bunx test below needs). Both commits drop out as those land; review the last commit.

Problem

• On filesystems whose readdir fills in no d_type (FUSE mounts such as sshfs, some NFS servers, XFS formatted with ftype=0) every entry comes back as DT_UNKNOWN, which bun's iterators report as FileKind::Unknown. pack, publish: include entries on filesystems whose readdir reports DT_UNKNOWN #38716 fixes bun pm pack / bun publish; every other consumer that branches on the kind still treats Unknown as "not the kind I want" and silently drops or misclassifies every entry. Reproduced with the shim from pack, publish: include entries on filesystems whose readdir reports DT_UNKNOWN #38716 for:
  • bun create <local template> copies nothing and reports success: create_command.rs was the one walker_skippable::walk() caller that did not set the walker's resolve_unknown_entry_types.
  • bun install and bun link of a package with directories.bin link no bins, and bun unlink removes none (bin.rs, match entry.kind { SymLink | File => .. }).
  • bun remove leaves the removed package's dangling node_modules/.bin symlinks behind (updatePackageJSONAndInstall.rs).
  • bunx <pkg> for a package whose bins come from directories.bin reports no executable (bunx_command.rs, kind == File).
  • recursive fs.watch() on Linux adds no watch below the root (path_watcher.rs).
  • the native directory copy behind the shell's cp -R (and fs.cpSync on macOS) copies subdirectories as files and fails with ENOTSUP (node_fs.rs, cp_async_directory and cp_sync_inner).
  • the shell's ls -R does not recurse (ls.rs).
  • bun init -y does not see the project's existing source files and writes an index.ts plus "module": "index.ts" (init_command.rs).
• Same pattern, not reproduced end to end: the offline auto-install cache index (PackageManagerResolution.rs), the template listing in bun create (needs the npm registry), bun pm licenses' nested-symlink skip, and the Playwright chromium lookup in ChromeProcess.rs (only reached when no system Chrome is installed).

Fix

• Every site above sets resolve_unknown_entry_types on the bun_sys iterator it creates (ls sets it to opts.recursive, the only case where it looks at the kind). That is the shape pack, publish: include entries on filesystems whose readdir reports DT_UNKNOWN #38716 asks the follow-up to use: one assignment at construction, and the kind every later branch sees is what d_type would have been.
• walker_skippable always resolves and loses its flag: all five callers that set it keep working unchanged, and the sixth (bun create) was the bug. The walk itself needs the kind to know what to descend into, so there is no caller for which deferring it makes sense. As in pack, publish: include entries on filesystems whose readdir reports DT_UNKNOWN #38716's version of the walker, an entry whose lstat also fails is handed out as Unknown (every consumer ignores those) rather than skipped.
• bun_runtime's own directory iterator (node/dir_iterator.rs, used by node:fs) gets the same flag. The two fs.cp loops set it; readdir() sets it to withFileTypes and the two recursive readdir() loops set it unconditionally, which replaces the three inline copies of the lstat fallback they carried (behaviour unchanged: an entry that cannot be stat'ed is still reported as Unknown and not descended into).
• Correct because the flag is a no-op on filesystems that supply d_type, and on those that do not it uses lstat, so a symlink is still reported as a symlink, which is what every site's existing SymLink handling assumes.
• Tests run each command under dtUnknownReaddir from pack, publish: include entries on filesystems whose readdir reports DT_UNKNOWN #38716 (an LD_PRELOAD shim that zeroes d_type in every getdents64 result and prints a marker to stderr, which every test asserts on so none can pass vacuously):
  • test/cli/dt-unknown-readdir.test.ts: install, bunx, link, unlink, remove, create, init
  • test/js/node/fs/dt-unknown-readdir.test.ts: a recursive watch sees a write in a pre-existing subdirectory (fails before); readdir sync and async, with and without withFileTypes and recursive, still report the right kinds and descend (passes before and after: it guards the moved fallback)
  • test/js/bun/shell/shell-dt-unknown-readdir.test.ts: ls -R, builtin cp -R
  • The 10 behaviour tests fail with the released bun and pass with this build. Also run: pack, publish: include entries on filesystems whose readdir reports DT_UNKNOWN #38716's dt-unknown-readdir.test.ts, bun-link, bun-remove, bun-create, bunx, bun-pm-licenses, bun-install-hardlink-fallback, isolated-install, fs.watch, shell ls and cp, fs/cp, and the readdir tests in fs.test.ts (the only failures are pre-existing debug-build ones: Bun.version containing -debug, debug failure traces in install output, root ignoring permission bits, 5s timeouts under ASAN).
  • cargo check of bun_sys, bun_install and bun_runtime is clean for the Windows and macOS targets too (the Windows iterators always know the kind; the flag compiles to nothing there).

Background

• d_type: the file type a directory entry carries in getdents64 output. It is optional; a filesystem may return DT_UNKNOWN for every entry, and the reader is then expected to lstat the entries whose type it needs. Local ext4/btrfs/APFS always fill it in, which is why this only shows up on network and FUSE mounts.
• resolve_unknown_entry_types (pack, publish: include entries on filesystems whose readdir reports DT_UNKNOWN #38716): a flag on bun_sys::dir_iterator::WrappedIterator; when set, next() lstats an entry whose kind came back Unknown, relative to the directory fd the iterator holds, and stores the result. Off by default because the resolver and the glob walker deliberately defer the stat to the entries they end up using.
• walker_skippable: bun_sys's recursive walker used by package installs, bun build --compile assets and bun create. It needs the kind to decide what to descend into and which skip list (file names vs. directory names) applies to an entry.
• node/dir_iterator.rs: bun_runtime has a second readdir implementation for node:fs (it also produces UTF-16 names on Windows); fs.readdir and fs.cp use it rather than the bun_sys one, hence the second copy of the flag.
• directories.bin: package.json field naming a directory whose every file is a bin, as an alternative to the bin map. bun install links each entry of that directory into node_modules/.bin; bunx reads it to learn the bin name when a package has no bin field.

Earlier shape of this PR

The first version was written against an earlier revision of #38716 that exposed a per-entry IteratorResult::resolve_kind(dir) method: it called that at each site, removed the walker flag in favour of resolving in the walker's loop, added a resolve_kind to the runtime iterator, and carried its own copy of the test shim in the harness. #38716 has since moved to the iterator flag, so this PR was rebuilt on that (the set of fixed sites and the tests are the same), and the bunx path fix it also contained was split out as #39096.

Walkthrough

Changes

Directory iterators now optionally resolve DT_UNKNOWN entries before callers classify them. Walker, filesystem, installation, package-management, and CLI code use resolved entry kinds. Tests add an LD_PRELOAD shim and coverage for affected commands.

DT_UNKNOWN resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Iterator-level resolution src/sys/lib.rs, src/runtime/node/dir_iterator.rs	Iterators optionally resolve unknown POSIX entry kinds with lstatat, while remaining disabled by default.
Walker integration src/sys/walker_skippable.rs, src/install/..., src/runtime/cli/build_command.rs	Walkers resolve entry kinds centrally and no longer use the removed walker-level configuration.
Runtime filesystem consumers src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs, src/runtime/node/path_watcher.rs, src/runtime/shell/builtin/ls.rs, src/runtime/webview/ChromeProcess.rs	Filesystem operations and recursive traversal use iterator-provided entry kinds.
Install and CLI consumers src/install/..., src/runtime/cli/...	Package installation, pruning, linking, packing, publishing, and directory discovery enable unknown-kind resolution. bunx resolves directories.bin relative to the package path.
Regression coverage test/fixtures/*, test/harness.ts, test/cli/*, test/js/*	An LD_PRELOAD shim forces DT_UNKNOWN entries and tests validate package, shell, Node filesystem, and CLI behavior.

[robobun]

Status: ready for review. Stacked on #38716 and #39096 (first two commits are copies of them; the last commit is this PR's change).

Reproduced each of the eight user-visible cases in the description by running the command under the dtUnknownReaddir LD_PRELOAD shim, which zeroes d_type in every getdents64 result: bun create copied nothing, bun install/bun link linked no directories.bin bins, bun unlink removed none, bun remove left dangling .bin links, bunx found no executable, recursive fs.watch missed writes in subdirectories, the shell's cp -R failed with ENOTSUP, ls -R did not recurse, and bun init -y wrote a stray index.ts. The three new test files fail on the released bun for exactly those reasons (the readdir case in the node:fs file is a guard for the refactored fallback and passes both ways) and pass with this branch.

Rebuilt once on the current shape of #38716 (iterator flag instead of per-entry calls); review feedback on that shape is addressed as of 765f187 (see the comments below). CI reds so far were unrelated and reported separately (bake deinitialization segfault on Windows, test-http-chunk-problem UAF on the ASAN lane).

[claude]

Thanks — dc13819 migrated bun-pack-dt-unknown.test.ts onto the shared harness helpers (and dropped the !isMusl guard from canShimDtUnknown since the musl build is dynamically linked too), and 65af090 trimmed the resolve_kind doc comments. I re-reviewed and found no further issues. Given the breadth — ~18 Rust files across install/bunx/node-fs/shell/path_watcher/sys, the removal of the public resolve_unknown_entry_types flag from the walker, and the bunx directories.bin path-resolution fix — a human look is still worthwhile.

Also checked: each resolve_kind() call is passed the same fd the iterator is reading (so lstatat resolves in the right directory); ls -R reorders the resolve_kind call before name.slice_u8() so the mutable borrow doesn't overlap the name borrow; and the pack_command.rs sites use dir.fd (the trait re-export), not Fd::from_std_dir(&dir), matching the surrounding code.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR sweeps every consumer of the directory-iterator kind field to call resolve_kind(dir_fd) before branching on it, so entries reported as DT_UNKNOWN (FUSE/NFS/XFS-ftype=0) are lstat-resolved instead of silently dropped. It also makes walker_skippable resolve unconditionally (dropping the resolve_unknown_entry_types opt-in flag — all callers but one already set it, and the holdout was a bug), adds resolve_kind to bun_runtime's own dir iterator, and fixes an unrelated bunx bug where directories.bin was opened relative to the project root instead of the package's package.json. Four new test files exercise ~10 commands under an LD_PRELOAD shim that zeroes d_type; the shim itself now lives in test/harness.ts.

Changes since my last review

My earlier finding (the pack test still carrying its own shim copy, with a divergent musl guard) was addressed in dc13819 — the file now imports canShimDtUnknown/dtUnknownShimEnv/stripDtUnknownShimMarker from harness, and the harness guard was updated to run on musl (the doc comment now notes both glibc and musl builds are dynamically linked). 65af090 shortened the resolve_kind doc comments in response to the comment-cop bot. The bug hunting system found nothing on this pass.

Security risks

The bunx directories.bin change resolves a package-relative path via resolve_path::join_z on dirname(subpath_z) + the package.json field — this is inside the already-installed package tree and goes through the existing is_safe_bin_name/trusted-cache checks downstream, so no new escape surface. The rest of the change is read-only lstatat on entries the process is already iterating.

Level of scrutiny

High — the change is mechanically uniform (entry.kind → entry.resolve_kind(fd)) but is applied across 18 source files in install, bunx, node fs (cp sync/async, readdir), path_watcher, shell ls, publish/pack, and the sys walker. Removing a public field from Walker is a small API break for any out-of-tree caller. The bunx path fix and the walker's now-unconditional lstat-on-unknown are behavior changes that a maintainer should sign off on.

Other factors

Test coverage is thorough (each user-visible symptom has a spawned-fixture test that asserts the shim marker, so the tests can't pass vacuously). The PR is stacked on #38716 and the description says the first commit will be dropped when that lands. Given the number of subsystems touched and the stacked-PR mechanics, deferring to a human reviewer.

[robobun]

Addressed the review feedback: dc13819 switches the pack test to the shared harness shim (and keeps the musl lanes running it, since bun-musl is dynamically linked; CI confirms they pass), and 65af090 shortens the flagged comments. The one flagged comment in src/sys/lib.rs belongs to #38716 and will disappear from this PR when that lands. No code changes beyond those; the Rust diff is unchanged since the PR was opened.

[robobun]

This is stacked on a shape of #38716 that no longer exists; the base PR now looks like this (head 2c6552f):

• The primitive is an opt-in flag, WrappedIterator::resolve_unknown_entry_types (same name as the walker's), applied inside next(); IteratorResult::resolve_kind() is gone. Converting a consumer is one line after it creates the iterator, iter.resolve_unknown_entry_types = true;, and the entries it reads are already resolved, so the let mut entry / entry.resolve_kind(fd) edits here would become that instead. The walker and prune.rs are deliberately left to this PR; for the walker, resolving unconditionally as done here is just setting the flag on the iterators it creates and deleting its own field.
• The shim already lives in the base PR: test/fixtures/dt-unknown-readdir-shim.c plus dtUnknownReaddir in test/harness.ts (available, marker, and an async env() meant to be awaited once from beforeAll with an explicit hook timeout; compiling it inside a test body timed out the concurrently started tests on a loaded machine, and the default 5 s hook timeout is too short for a C compiler there). The pack tests are in test/cli/install/dt-unknown-readdir.test.ts, so the squashed copy of the old bun-pack-dt-unknown.test.ts and the separate dtUnknownShimEnv() helper here should go away on rebase; the new cases can be added to that file or keep their own files.
• Once every consumer is either converted or deliberately lazy (resolver, glob walker, delete_tree), flipping the flag's default and keeping explicit opt-outs for the lazy ones would be a natural last step for this PR; it is what makes the bug unreachable for new consumers, and it was left out of pack, publish: include entries on filesystems whose readdir reports DT_UNKNOWN #38716 only to keep that PR small.

Sequence: #38716 first, then this one rebased onto its real head.

[robobun]

Rebuilt this PR on the current shape of #38716. That PR moved from a per-entry resolve_kind() method (which the first version of this PR was written against) to a resolve_unknown_entry_types flag on the iterator and asks the follow-up to use the flag, so the sweep now does exactly that: one assignment per iterator at each of the affected sites, the walker resolving unconditionally (its flag is gone), the same flag on bun_runtime's own iterator for node:fs (which also retires the three inline copies of the lstat fallback in node_fs.rs), and the tests using #38716's dtUnknownReaddir helper instead of carrying a second shim. The set of fixed sites is unchanged; the source diff is now 70 lines added and 95 removed. The bunx directories.bin path fix that was mixed in here is split out as #39096, which this PR is stacked on for its bunx test. The description has been rewritten for the new shape; the two comment-cop threads opened on this push point at code that comes from #38716's commit.

[robobun]

Pushed 765f187 (stack restacked on the updated #39096, 5fac8ac), addressing the reviews on the rebuilt shape:

• bunx directories.bin containment: handled in bunx: resolve directories.bin relative to the package #39096, which now skips the values the bin linker already refuses (bin_target_escapes_package_dir, plus empty) and tests that a ../../outside value is ignored. Embedded NULs were not special-cased: join_z NUL-terminates, so a NUL can only truncate the path to a prefix of a package-relative path that has already passed the escape check, which is no worse than the previous code and cannot leave the package.
• WalkerEntry.kind doc and the description now say what the code does: resolved with lstat, still Unknown only if that fails too (that entry is handed out, as in pack, publish: include entries on filesystems whose readdir reports DT_UNKNOWN #38716's walker; every consumer ignores it). The earlier description text about skipping was from the first shape.
• bun init test asserts exit 0 and that no index.ts is reported (stderr cannot be asserted clean: the install step is deliberately pointed at a 404 registry), and uses a private install cache.
• node:fs test now covers readdir sync and async, each with withFileTypes, recursive, and both.
• Not changed: the WASI note in dir_iterator.rs (WASI is not in the set of targets bun builds for, scripts/build/rust.ts; on every built target the kernel NUL-terminates d_name, which is what the existing SAFETY comment states), the JSON.parse fallback in the fixture helpers (on a malformed fixture the raw stdout lands in the toEqual diff next to stderr and the exit code, which is more useful than throwing before showing them), and the separate bunx test file (bunx.test.ts talks to the real registry and has a test that fails on debug builds as-is, so a case added there cannot be run before and after in isolation; the reasoning is in bunx: resolve directories.bin relative to the package #39096's description).

[robobun]

Restacked on #39096's latest commit (e449e85, test-only change there); this PR's own commit is unchanged apart from the rebase, now at 5773f8f.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and the bug hunting system found no issues. Because it touches 28 files across src/sys/, the package manager, node:fs (readdir/cp/watch), shell builtins, and several CLI commands, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The resolve_unknown_entry_types = true sweep at each iterator site — each one branches on entry.kind downstream, so the flag is load-bearing and a no-op where d_type is filled in.
• The walker_skippable flag removal and let-else dedent — control flow matches the previous opt-in path; entries whose lstat also fails are now yielded as Unknown (doc updated in 765f187), and every walker consumer filters on File/Directory/SymLink.
• The node_fs.rs refactor — the three inline Unknown → lstatat fallbacks it removes are subsumed by the iterator flag; the recursive-readdir MAX_PATH_BYTES guard that the old Unknown arm carried is redundant with the Directory/SymLink arms it now falls into.
• Tests assert the LD_PRELOAD shim's marker on stderr, so none can pass vacuously if the shim stops intercepting.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR completes the DT_UNKNOWN sweep started in #38716: every bun_sys / bun_runtime directory-iterator site that branches on entry.kind now sets resolve_unknown_entry_types = true, so filesystems that return DT_UNKNOWN for every entry (FUSE, some NFS, XFS ftype=0) no longer cause silent misbehavior. It is stacked on #38716 (iterator flag + test shim) and #39096 (bunx directories.bin path fix), both of which are now on main; the own-commit content is the per-site flag assignments, the walker_skippable flag removal (it now always resolves), a matching flag on bun_runtime's node/dir_iterator.rs, removal of three inline lstat fallbacks in node_fs.rs, and four new test files driven by an LD_PRELOAD shim.

Security risks

None identified. The change adds lstatat calls relative to already-open directory fds; it does not introduce new user-controlled path handling. The bunx directories.bin containment check (from #39096, included in this diff) uses the same bin_target_escapes_package_dir guard the bin linker uses. The LD_PRELOAD shim is test-only and compiled from a checked-in C source.

Level of scrutiny

High. While each individual site change is a one-line mechanical addition following #38716's pattern, the aggregate touches core filesystem iteration (src/sys/lib.rs, walker_skippable.rs), Node.js compat (node_fs.rs readdir/cp, path_watcher.rs), the package manager (install/link/unlink/remove/prune/bin), shell builtins (ls, cp), and several CLI commands. The node_fs.rs change removes ~40 lines of inline fallback logic and the walker_skippable change rewrites the loop's control flow (let-else dedent). A behavior-preservation slip in any of these has broad user-visible impact.

Other factors

• All prior review threads (mine and CodeRabbit's) are resolved; the two I raised — the WalkerEntry.kind doc/description mismatch and the bunx-directories-bin.test.ts placement — were addressed in 765f187 and via #39096 respectively (the latter kept separate with a stated reason).
• Test coverage is unusually thorough: 10 behavior tests under the LD_PRELOAD shim, each asserting the shim's marker so a test cannot pass vacuously; plus a readdir-kinds regression test guarding the moved fallback.
• The pattern is uniform and matches what #38716 asked the follow-up to do. I did not find any iterator site where the flag is set but the kind is never read, nor any site branching on kind that was missed.
• Given the number of subsystems touched and the node_fs.rs deduplication, a maintainer glance at the full set is warranted before merge.

[robobun]

One correction to the summary above: #38716 and #39096 are not on main yet (neither the iterator flag nor the bunx fix is in origin/main as of 88a6398), so the first two commits here are still the stacked copies of them and this PR has to wait for both. The last commit is the one to review.
