I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. It's a well-scoped, thoroughly tested change, but since it adds new public helpers to bun_sys::File and changes open semantics across the install and sourcemap subsystems, a human sign-off on the API shape and errno choice would still be worthwhile.
Checked: read_from_user_input has no other callers, so routing it through read_regular_from only affects local tarballs; O_NONBLOCK left on the returned fd is harmless because every caller only read_to_end/preads a regular file; S::ISREG/S::ISDIR and Source::MAX_PARSEABLE_LEN resolve on all targets; the Windows path omits O_NONBLOCK and relies on fstat.
Checked: lstat and npm_manifest_test_helpers are already imported in bun-install-registry.test.ts; the shifted inspect-error.test.js snapshots match the two added import lines.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR adds File::open_regular_at / File::read_regular_from to src/sys/file.rs (open with O_NONBLOCK on unix, fstat the descriptor, reject directories with EISDIR and other non-regular files with ENOTSUP), then migrates eight read sites to use them: lockfile load (bun.lock/bun.lockb), the pre-save lockfile comparison, three migration lockfiles, the npm manifest cache entry, the local-tarball read (both via read_from_user_input and the direct read_from), and two sourcemap reads (.map file and the sources[i] fallback). It also short-circuits .map files larger than Source::MAX_PARSEABLE_LEN before reading, and adds 15 tests across four files (all POSIX-only via skipIf(isWindows)).
Security risks
None identified. The change is defensive hardening: it narrows what file types bun will read at implicit paths, closing a hang (FIFO in open()) and an unbounded-read DoS (/dev/zero). The check runs on the open descriptor, so it is TOCTOU-safe. No new user-controlled input is parsed.
Level of scrutiny
Medium-high. Each individual call-site change is a one-liner swap to the new helper, and every caller already handled the error path (open failure → report/ignore/refetch). But the PR adds public API to a foundational crate (bun_sys), changes the semantics of the shared read_from_user_input, and picks ENOTSUP as the errno for non-regular files across several user-visible messages. The O_NONBLOCK-then-fstat design and errno choice are the kind of API decisions a maintainer should confirm — the description notes #36516 and #38217 inlined the same check elsewhere, so consolidating into a helper is reasonable, but that's exactly why a human should agree it's the right shared shape.
Other factors
The PR description is unusually thorough: reproductions on released 1.4.0, red-on-release verification of every new test, full runs of the touched test files plus adjacent suites, and cargo check on windows-msvc/darwin/freebsd. I verified read_from_user_input has only the one caller in PackageManagerTask.rs, so its behavior change is confined to local tarballs. O_NONBLOCK remaining on the returned fd is benign because every caller of open_regular_at only does read_to_end (which preads on unix) or get_fd_path on a regular file, where the flag is a no-op. The regenerated inspect-error.test.js snapshots line up with the two added imports (line numbers shift by +2/+3 as expected). No prior reviews or outstanding comments on the timeline.

I reviewed this PR and the bug hunting system found no issues. Because it changes the default semantics of File::read_from — a shared syscall helper with ~42 callers — and the author explicitly flagged the errno choice and API shape as points for a maintainer to confirm, a human sign-off would still be worthwhile.

Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR hardens File::read_from / read_file_from in src/sys/file.rs to open with O_NONBLOCK (unix), fstat the descriptor, and reject anything that isn't a regular file (EISDIR for directories, ENODEV otherwise). A new open_regular_at helper returns (File, size) so callers that already needed the size (Bun.Image, the read loop) skip a second fstat. Direct callers that keep the fd — the lockfile loader, npm manifest cache, migration's package-lock.json open, and Bun.Image — are switched to the helper. PackageManager::init's project-locating package.json open gets O_NONBLOCK inline. bun_ast::ToSourceOptions gains any_file_type so --config=/dev/null keeps working via read_from_any_file_type. 16 new tests across five files pin FIFO/device rejection for lockfiles, migration lockfiles, .npmrc, package.json, bunfig.toml, manifest cache entries, local tarballs (both linkers, root and workspace), and .map sidecars; snapshot line numbers in inspect-error.test.js were regenerated for the two added imports.
Security risks
The change is defensive — it closes a local DoS (FIFO hang) and unbounded-read (/dev/zero) vector. No new attack surface. The check runs on the open descriptor, so a path-swap between stat and open cannot bypass it.
Level of scrutiny
High. File::read_from is a foundational syscall wrapper with ~42 callers across the package manager, resolver, config loading, source maps, repl, test runner, etc. Changing its default to reject non-regular files is a behavior change that ripples to every caller, including user-named paths (bun publish ./x.tgz, bun file.sh, repl .load) which now fail with ENODEV on a device instead of the prior degenerate behavior. The PR description enumerates callers thoroughly and argues none legitimately wants a device besides --config, but that's exactly the kind of blast-radius call a maintainer should confirm.
Other factors
- The author explicitly left two design points for sign-off: the
ENODEVerrno choice (an earlier iteration usedENOTSUP) and returning(File, size)fromopen_regular_at. O_NONBLOCKstays set on fds returned byopen_regular_at/read_file_from(e.g. the git checkoutpackage.jsonfd inrepository.rs). For regular files POSIX makes this a no-op on read/write, so harmless, but worth a maintainer glance.- All comment-cop bot feedback (long comments) was addressed and resolved.
- Test coverage is thorough: FIFO and
/dev/nullvariants, both linkers, workspace vs root tarballs, and the--config=/dev/nullregression pin. All properlyskipIf(isWindows). - No prior human review on the thread.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes the semantics of File::read_from (a foundational bun_sys helper with ~42 callers) and makes API-shape decisions the author explicitly flagged for sign-off (ENODEV vs ENOTSUP, O_NONBLOCK left on the returned fd, the read_from_any_file_type escape hatch), a human look would still be worthwhile.

bun-pack.test.tsmessage change ("failed to read" → "failed to open") is consistent with the error now originating fromTag::open.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR hardens whole-file reads against non-regular files (FIFOs block open() forever; /dev/zero reads until OOM). It introduces File::open_regular_at (open with O_NONBLOCK on unix, fstat, reject non-regular with EISDIR/ENODEV, return size) and routes File::read_from and File::read_file_from through it. ~15 call sites across src/install/, src/dotenv/, src/bunfig/, src/runtime/cli/, src/runtime/image/ are updated to use the new helper directly, and Bun.Image's inline check is deleted in favor of the shared one. A new read_from_any_file_type preserves --config=/dev/null. 16 new tests cover FIFOs and character devices at lockfile/package.json/.npmrc/bunfig/.env/tarball/.map paths, all skipped on Windows.
Security risks
None identified. The change is defensive (fail-closed on hostile filesystem entries) and the fstat check runs on the open descriptor, not the path, so TOCTOU via path-swap is not a concern. The one place validation is loosened (any_file_type for --config) is gated on the user having explicitly named the path.
Level of scrutiny
High. File::read_from is a foundational bun_sys primitive with ~42 callers per the PR description. Changing its contract from "read any openable path" to "regular files only" is correct in intent but requires confidence that no caller legitimately needs a device or pipe. The author enumerated callers in the PR notes and identified --config as the sole exception, but this is exactly the kind of exhaustive-enumeration claim a maintainer should spot-check. The author also explicitly flagged two design points for sign-off in the timeline (errno choice, O_NONBLOCK remaining on the returned fd).
Other factors
- The
bun-pack.test.tsexisting-test edit changes an asserted error message from "failed to read" to "failed to open" — a user-visible change that follows from the error now surfacing atTag::openinstead ofread, but worth a maintainer's eye per REVIEW.md's "error messages are reviewed word-for-word". Bun.Imageon a directory now returnsEISDIRinstead of the previousENODEV(noted in the PR description;image-adversarial.test.tsreportedly passes).- Cross-platform: Windows omits
O_NONBLOCKand relies on thefstatcheck alone; the author reportscargo checkfor windows-msvc passed. - All comment-cop bot findings are resolved; no outstanding human review comments.
… only when they are regular files A FIFO at bun.lock, bun.lockb, package-lock.json, yarn.lock or pnpm-lock.yaml, at a manifest cache entry, at the tarball of a file: dependency, or at the .map next to a prebuilt script blocked bun forever in open(). A character device such as /dev/zero at any of these paths was read until the process ran out of memory. File::open_regular_at opens the path without blocking on unix, fstats the descriptor and rejects everything that is not a regular file: a directory with EISDIR, anything else with ENOTSUP. File::read_regular_from reads such a file whole. The lockfile loader, the comparison before a lockfile is saved, the lockfile migration, the manifest cache loader, the local tarball read and both source map reads use them. A .map larger than the JSON parser accepts is reported as undecodable without being read.
A FIFO at a path bun reads on its own (bun.lock, bun.lockb, a lockfile it migrates, package.json, bunfig.toml, .npmrc, a manifest cache entry, the tarball of a file: dependency, the .map or .jsc next to a script) blocked bun forever in open(). A character device such as /dev/zero at such a path was read until the process ran out of memory. File::open_regular_at opens without blocking on unix, fstats the descriptor and rejects a directory with EISDIR and every other non-regular file with ENODEV, the errno Bun.Image already used for this. File::read_from and File::read_file_from, which every whole-file read goes through, use it, as do the lockfile loader, the manifest cache loader and Bun.Image, which hold the descriptor. The open that locates the project in PackageManager init does not block either. File::read_from_any_file_type keeps the old behaviour for the one path a user names that may be a device, --config.
The auto-loaded .env files, the .npmignore and .gitignore files bun pm pack finds, the package.json of a file: directory dependency, the package.json and marker files of an installed package in node_modules, the package.json in the bunx cache, and the package.json read by the yarn and npm lockfile migrations opened their files with a plain open and read them whole. A FIFO at any of them blocked; the ones in node_modules, the ignore files and .env were checked to block on the released bun. They now go through File::open_regular_at or File::read_from like the other whole-file reads, and src/CLAUDE.md shows read_from as the pattern.

read_to_end_sized is public now. The lockfile loader, the npm and yarn migrations, the ignore files of bun pm pack and Bun.Image read through it, so the file is not fstated a second time.

I reviewed this PR again after 7cc6a85 addressed the double-fstat note; no further issues found. Because it changes the semantics of File::read_from for all its callers and touches the syscall layer plus a dozen subsystems, a human look at the design choices (ENODEV as the errno, O_NONBLOCK left on the returned fd, which user-named paths keep the old read) would still be worthwhile.

Overview
This PR adds File::open_regular_at (open with O_NONBLOCK on unix, fstat, reject non-regular files with EISDIR/ENODEV, return the size) and routes File::read_from and read_file_from through it. That changes the contract of a foundational helper with ~42 callers: any path bun opens and reads whole on its own now fails fast on a FIFO or device instead of blocking in open() or reading forever. A dozen direct-open sites (lockfile loader, manifest cache, .env, pack ignore files, folder resolver, PackageInstaller, bunx cache, migrations, Image) are converted to call the helper directly, and PackageManager::init's project-locating open gets O_NONBLOCK. A new SizeHint::Known and public read_to_end_sized let the size from the helper's fstat presize the follow-up read. --config=<path> keeps the old behavior via read_from_any_file_type so --config=/dev/null still works. 23 new tests cover FIFOs and character devices at each converted path; two existing pack tests are updated for the "failed to open" (was "failed to read") message on a directory ignore file.
Security risks
The change is defensive — it closes a local DoS vector (FIFO blocks forever, /dev/zero OOMs) on paths bun discovers itself. The check runs on the open descriptor, not the path, so TOCTOU via path swap does not bypass it. No new attack surface is introduced. The one thing to note is that a few user-named paths (bun publish ./x.tgz, bun file.sh, repl .load) now reject a device with ENODEV where they previously read it as empty or endless — a behavior change the description calls out as intentional and unlikely to matter in practice.
Level of scrutiny
High. src/sys/file.rs is the syscall wrapper every whole-file read in the runtime goes through, and read_from's contract change is inherited by every caller. The PR description enumerates the callers and argues none besides --config wants a device, but that audit is exactly the kind of judgment a maintainer should confirm. The cross-platform split (O_NONBLOCK omitted on Windows, relying on the fstat check alone) and the choice to leave O_NONBLOCK set on the returned fd (harmless for regular-file pread, per the author's note) are subtle enough to merit a second pair of eyes.
Other factors
My earlier inline comment about the size being discarded and then re-fstat'd at Image.rs and three other converted sites was addressed in 7cc6a85 by making read_to_end_sized public and using it at those sites. The remaining three double-stat sites (manifest cache, .env, bunx mtime) are called out as intentional and cold. The comment-cop bot's flags were all resolved by shortening comments. Test coverage is thorough (23 new tests across 7 files, all verified to fail on the released bun per the description), and the description documents an unusually complete audit of the reader inventory. The change is well-executed; it is the breadth — core helper semantics plus a dozen subsystems — that keeps me from approving without a human sign-off.
… from init File::ensure_regular is the check of open_regular_at for a file that was opened with other flags, and keeps the path in the error of a failed fstat. bun pm trust applies it to the root package.json before it reads it. The spawn timeout in the bun-lock tests did nothing, the test timeout is shorter.

I reviewed this PR and the bug-hunting pass found no issues; both earlier findings (the double-fstat at converted sites and the undrained stdout pipe in the pm trust test) are addressed. Because it changes the semantics of File::read_from for ~40 callers and encodes a policy split between auto-discovered and user-named paths, a human sign-off on that surface would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
open_regular_at/ensure_regularinsrc/sys/file.rs: O_NONBLOCK gating is unix-only, EISDIR/ENODEV mapping matches prior behavior, fd closes on the error path via Drop, and the path is attached to the fstat error.- The
SizeHint::Knownplumbing and each converted call site — the size fromopen_regular_atis now threaded through so no site regresses to two fstats except the three cold ones the author called out. - The
any_file_typecarve-out for--configvs. auto-loaded bunfig, and that--env-fileis deliberately left for #36516. - The 24 new tests: pipes drained, hang guards use
signalCode/spawn timeout only where the file's default timeout is 5 minutes, Windows-skipped where FIFOs don't apply.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR hardens every whole-file read that bun performs on a path it discovered itself (lockfiles, package.json, bunfig.toml, .npmrc, .env, manifest cache entries, file: tarballs, sidecar .map/.jsc, pack ignore files, installed-package markers, bunx cache) against FIFOs and unbounded devices. The mechanism is a new File::open_regular_at (open with O_NONBLOCK on unix, fstat, reject non-regular with EISDIR/ENODEV, return the size) that read_from/read_file_from now route through, plus a read_from_any_file_type escape hatch for user-named paths (--config=/dev/null). SizeHint::Known and read_to_end_sized avoid a second fstat at the converted sites. 27 files, ~15 Rust call sites converted, 24 new POSIX-only tests across 7 test files.
Security risks
None introduced. The change is strictly defensive — it closes a local DoS class (block-forever on FIFO open, OOM on /dev/zero). The check runs on the open descriptor, not the path, so it is not TOCTOU-bypassable. The one behavioral loosening — any_file_type for explicit --config — preserves existing behavior rather than adding new surface.
Level of scrutiny
High. File::read_from is a foundational helper with ~40 callers across the package manager, resolver, CLI, and sourcemap paths, and this PR changes its contract (a directory now fails at open with EISDIR instead of at read, and any non-regular file fails with ENODEV). The author enumerated the callers and argued each either already couldn't read a pipe (pread-based) or has no legitimate device input, but that enumeration and the policy line between "bun found it" and "the user named it" are design calls a maintainer should ratify. The O_NONBLOCK flag also stays set on the returned regular-file descriptor — harmless for regular files on POSIX, but worth a maintainer's eye.
Other factors
All prior review threads (comment-cop, CodeRabbit, and my two inline findings) are resolved in the current head (00627a9). Test coverage is thorough: each converted read path has a FIFO or device test that fails on the released bun, both linkers are exercised for the tarball case, and the --config=/dev/null behavior is pinned. The inspect-error.test.js snapshot churn is mechanical (import lines shifted line numbers). The remaining CI failures the author cites are unrelated to this change. Given the breadth and the embedded policy decision, deferring to a human reviewer rather than approving.

A device there now fails withENODEVinstead of an empty or endless read. A pipe never worked for them.A second review of the
read_fromversion listed the reads that open their file themselves and had not been converted. Those are converted now: the auto-loaded.envfiles (env_loader.rs, a directory listing already drops a FIFO itself, a symlink to one got through), the.npmignoreand.gitignorefilesbun pm packfinds (pack_command.rs), thepackage.jsonof afile:directory dependency (folder_resolver.rs), thepackage.jsonand marker files of an installed package (PackageInstaller.rs, the hoisted installer opens them on every install, the isolated installer does not), the twopackage.jsonopens in the bunx cache (bunx_command.rs) and thepackage.jsonread by the yarn and npm migrations. The.env, ignore file,file:directory and installed package cases were checked to block on the released bun and have tests. A directory at an ignore file path is reported asfailed to openinstead offailed to readnow, the two tests that pin that message were updated. TheCommon Patternssnippet insrc/CLAUDE.mdshowed the raw open plus read, it showsread_fromnow.Whole-file reads that still do not go through the check, from a list of the remaining
read_to_endcallers: the executable itself (standalone graph), the tarballbun pm packjust wrote,/procand/etcfiles innode:osandspawn, the explicitbun x.lockbargument, and the.snapfile ofbun test, in the area #39689 is changing (opened read-write, which a FIFO does not block, but a device would be read whole). It can useensure_regularonce that lands, asbun pm trustdoes now for the rootpackage.jsonit reads through the descriptor frominit.Reproductions on the released 1.4.0, each in an otherwise empty project.
mkfifo bun.lock; bun installblocks (exit 124 undertimeout). So domkfifo package.json,mkfifo bunfig.toml(also forbun -e 1),mkfifo .npmrc, a FIFO at the<cache>/<hash>.npmentry of an installed package,mkfifo dep.tgzfor"dep": "file:./dep.tgz", a FIFOentry.js.mapnext to a// @bunscript that throws, and a FIFOin.js.jscnext to a--bytecodebuild. With a symlink to/dev/zeroinstead, the reads fail withENOMEMunderulimit -vand grow until the process is killed without it. With this branch:ENODEV: failed to open lockfile: 'bun.lock',warn: Ignoring lockfile, and the save replaces the FIFO.ENODEV: failed to read '<dir>/package.json', the message a directory gives withEISDIR(pinned inbun-install.test.ts).bunfig.tomland.npmrcare skipped like unreadable ones. The manifest is fetched again and the save replaces the entry.ENODEV extracting tarball from dep(hoisted) orfailed to download dep@./dep.tgz: ENODEV(isolated). The.mapcounts as missing. The bytecode build runs from its source.Two more opens showed up while the tests were written. The comparison before a lockfile save blocked after the loader alone was fixed. The
package.jsonopen ininitblocked after theread_fromchange. ItsO_RDWRform (bun add) never blocked on a FIFO, and the reads that follow now fail withENODEVin both forms. The walk up to a parent workspace reads each parentpackage.jsonwith one boundedpread, so a FIFO there fails instead of blocking.open_regular_atreturns the size so that the reads that follow it are presized without a secondfstat(read_to_end_sized,SizeHint::Known):read_from,read_file_from, the lockfile loader, the npm and yarn migrations, pack's ignore files andBun.Image, which also caps on it. The manifest cache and.envread through helpers shared with other openers, and the bunx probe needs the mtime, so those three stat twice. All are cold. A directory at aread_frompath producedEISDIRfromreadbefore and gets it from the helper now:bun-pack.test.tsand the directory cases ofbun-install.test.tsandbun-dedupe.test.tspass unchanged.Bun.Imageon a directory reportedENODEVbefore and reportsEISDIRnow.test/js/bun/image/image-adversarial.test.ts(61 tests) passes.Mapping.rs:412, the original source a.mapnames whensourcesContentis null, is aread_fromcaller, so/dev/zerothere is bounded now. A FIFO there still blocks: the error printer falls back to the module loader, which accepts pipes on purpose (bun /dev/stdin). That class of reads, the ones routed through the resolver, is left alone, so there is no test for it.The FIFO tests need no writer. The released bun blocks in
open(), and the tests end through the test timeout (bun testkills the child) or through the 30 second spawn timeout in the files that set a long default timeout.inspect-error.test.jsgains two import lines, so the five snapshots at its top that contain their own line numbers were regenerated.
