Windows: one stdin uv_tty_t per VM, closed with the Worker that opened it

[robobun]

Problem

• Windows: after a Worker has used console stdin and exited, stdin is dead on the main thread. setRawMode() emits setRawMode failed with errno: 9. A read throws EINVAL: invalid argument, open. Reproduced on main (4448a2e).
• stdin_tty (src/io/source.rs) kept one uv_tty_t for fd 0 per process, on the loop of the first caller. A Worker put it on its own loop, and Loop::close_thread_loop (src/libuv_sys/libuv.rs:463) closed it with that loop.

Fix

• The handle is now bun_io::StdinTty, a field of the VM's RareData, reached through EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty(). A reader of fd 0 gets Source::StdinTty, a borrow it never closes. Writers and the mini loop get a tty of their own.
• The handle is listed in open_handles as Kind::StdinTty: a Worker's stop phase closes it in place, and no reader is recorded as its owner. RareData drops after the loop is closed and frees it then. A handle nobody closed (the exiting main thread) is left to its loop.
• Correct because the handle only has to be shared within one script execution context: setRawMode on fd 0 must reach the handle process.stdin reads from. A uv handle belongs to one loop, and each VM has its own, so it belongs with the VM's other per-context state.
• Verified: the new Worker test in test/js/node/tty.test.ts fails on Windows with main and passes with this change (debug build, 35 runs over three revisions). The stdin, terminal, filesink, spawn and worker suites also ran on Windows (Notes).

Background

• libuv reads a Windows console through a uv_tty_t. uv_tty_set_mode restarts the read pending on that same handle. So tty.ts sends setRawMode for fd 0 to Source__setRawModeStdin, which must use the reader's handle.
• RareData holds a VM's lazily created per-context state (stdio stores, file polls, socket groups). EventLoopCtx is how bun_io reaches it, as file_polls_ptr() does, without naming the VM.
• open_handles (src/libuv_sys/open_handles.rs) is node's HandleWrap list: the handles a thread opened, each with the owner to close it through. A Worker's teardown closes them, then the loop. The stdin tty was the one handle not on it.

Notes

• First revision kept the slot in a thread_local!; moved into rare data on review.
• Rebased onto Fix Windows use-after-free of the pipe reader buffer retained by in-flight libuv reads #31940, which made uv::Tty a wrapper that owns the console read buffer (read_scratch). StdinTty owns that wrapper, so the scratch is freed with the handle after its close completed, and Source::StdinTty takes the same tty-read path as Source::Tty (tty_read_scratch, the alloc and staging branches in PipeReader.rs). The Fix Windows use-after-free of the pipe reader buffer retained by in-flight libuv reads #31940 regression test passes with the shared stdin tty on that path.
• Only a console stdin reaches this code. Source::open asks for the shared tty only when uv_guess_handle(0) reports a tty. A pipe or file stdin gets a handle per reader and was not affected. Stdin is never a console in CI, so the test runs the child in a Bun.Terminal (ConPTY on Windows), like the first test in the same file.
• How a Worker reaches it: a Web Worker in bun gets the real fd 0 as process.stdin (constructStdin in BunProcess.cpp, getStdinStream, Bun.stdin.stream(), then a FileReader on the Worker's loop). jsTTYSetMode runs on the Worker's thread, so js_vm_ctx() is the Worker's VM. A node:worker_threads Worker gets a port-backed process.stdin, but Bun.stdin.stream() and new tty.ReadStream(0) reach the same code from there.
• Probe on main after the Worker exited: {"isTTY":true,"err":"Error: setRawMode failed with errno: 9","rawOn":false,"rawOff":false}, then error: EINVAL: invalid argument, open from process.stdin.once("data"). With this change, BUN_DEBUG_uv=1 prints teardown: closing open stdin tty handle @... (owner 0x0) while the Worker tears down, and the main thread then reads its line.
• Closing the tty in the stop phase also stops a read that is still pending on it (the test leaves one pending), while the reader's buffer is still alive. libuv fires no read or alloc callback for a handle whose read was stopped by its close, so the reader (freed with the VM) is never called back.
• StdinTty::drop frees the handle only if libuv has finished closing it (UV_HANDLE_CLOSED). For a Worker that is always the case by then: uv_loop_close succeeds only once every handle is closed and unlinked (close_thread_loop, teardown phase D), and RareData drops in E. If the loop close gave up (64 turns), the handle is leaked, not freed. The exiting main thread never closes it and leaks it as well.
• Two findings from the self-review were fixed in 45315d5. StdinTty::open now returns EBADF once the handle is closing or closed (a native continuation that starts a reader during the teardown drain would otherwise get a dead handle and, in debug, trip debug_assert!(!source.is_closed()) in PipeReader.rs). The Source::StdinTty arm of close_impl stops the read and clears tty.data when this reader is still the one registered, so a reader that is dropped without close() leaves no dangling callback pointer. Before, the static had the same gap.
• Pre-existing and unchanged: two readers of fd 0 in one VM (process.stdin plus Bun.stdin.stream()) share one handle, so the second set_data replaces the first reader's callback pointer and its uv_read_start fails with EALREADY. Fixing that needs the shared handle to track its current reader.
• New reachability, a libuv limitation: two VMs can now each hold a console read (before, the Worker's uv_read_start failed with EALREADY on the shared handle). libuv keeps cooked-mode cancel state per process, so a Worker closed while the main thread also reads can make the main thread see one empty line. Node does not have this case because its Workers never get the real stdin.
• EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty() returns null for the mini loop and on POSIX (StdinTty is an uninhabited type there). No mini-loop code reads fd 0 through a BufferedReader. A writer never gets Source::StdinTty because PipeWriter::start opens without a context. Bun.stdin.writer() on Windows (a writer on fd 0, un-dup'd) now gets a tty of its own and closes that, instead of closing the shared handle under the readers (io(windows): don't uv_close the stdin_tty singleton from BaseWindowsPipeWriter #34350).
• The test also passes on Linux (no shared handle there, 25 of 25 runs), so it is not gated to Windows. The failure before the fix can only be shown on Windows.
• On this Windows debug build, four rows of worker-late-completion.test.ts, the "message flood" test in worker.test.ts, and once in three runs the Bun.connect() stress test in worker-terminate-lifetime.test.ts (120 s budget) fail with or without this change. They depend on timing and do not touch stdin.
• Suites run on Windows with the final code: test/js/node/tty.test.ts (10 of 10 loops of the new test), test/js/node/process/process-stdin.test.ts, test/js/bun/terminal/terminal-spawn.test.ts, test/js/bun/terminal/terminal-platform-gaps.test.ts, test/js/web/workers/worker-terminate-lifetime.test.ts, test/js/bun/util/filesink.test.ts, test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-streaming-stdin.test.ts, test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-streaming-stdout.test.ts. worker.test.ts and worker-late-completion.test.ts ran on the first revision. On Linux (debug build): tty.test.ts, process-stdin.test.ts, spawn-streaming-stdout.test.ts. cargo check of bun_io, bun_libuv_sys, bun_event_loop and bun_jsc for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc and for Linux.
• CI: test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts crashes on the Windows lane on main as well (usockets (Windows): keep a closed socket allocated until the dispatch that closed it returns #39910, usockets(windows): keep a closed poll alive until the outer tick and libuv are done with it #39643 are open for it).
• Neighbouring open PRs, independent of this one: io(windows): don't uv_close the stdin_tty singleton from BaseWindowsPipeWriter #34350 (the writer must not close the stdin tty), win: cancel pending cooked tty read when setRawMode(true) follows a synchronous mode bounce #30732 (pending cooked read and setRawMode).

Status

Reproduced on Windows with main (4448a2e): a Web Worker calls process.stdin.setRawMode() and reads one line from a ConPTY stdin, the parent terminates it, then the main thread calls setRawMode() (emits setRawMode failed with errno: 9) and reads stdin (throws EINVAL: invalid argument, open). The new test in test/js/node/tty.test.ts drives this. With this branch it passes (Windows debug build, 45 runs over four revisions, the last one rebased onto #31940) and still passes on Linux.

Current shape: the shared handle lives in the VM's rare data (bun_io::StdinTty, EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty()), per the review, and owns the #31940 read scratch. The failure before the fix only shows on Windows, because a console stdin is needed. The probe output is in the description under Notes.

CI on the rebased head (builds 103382 and 103401): the red lanes are test/cli/install/bun-prune.test.ts and test/cli/install/bun-pm.test.ts, inline snapshots of bun pm ls / bun prune wording that are out of sync on main, and in 103401 test/cli/install/bun-add.test.ts on the darwin aarch64 lane, a git SSH clone of github.com that the lane cannot make (all reported to main-break triage), plus retries that passed. Nothing in this diff touches the install CLI.

Walkthrough

Changes

The change adds VM-owned Windows stdin TTY state, passes event-loop context into source opening, updates TTY reading and teardown, and separates shared stdin handles from heap-owned TTY handles. A Windows regression test covers worker and main-thread stdin behavior.

VM-owned stdin TTY lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
VM stdin TTY storage and source access src/io/source.rs, src/io/lib.rs, src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs, src/jsc/rare_data.rs	Windows RareData stores the VM stdin TTY. EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty() exposes it. Source::open reuses it for fd 0 and supports shared TTY operations.
Source reading and TTY teardown src/io/PipeReader.rs, src/io/PipeWriter.rs, src/event_loop/MiniEventLoop.rs	Windows readers start and stop StdinTty reads. Reader teardown preserves the VM stdin TTY and reclaims heap-owned Source::Tty handles through the close callback.
TTY registration and ownership tracking src/libuv_sys/libuv.rs, src/libuv_sys/open_handles.rs	Initialized TTYs are registered with open-handle tracking. Shared stdin TTYs use a dedicated kind and close in place without owner-based freeing.
Windows stdin regression coverage test/js/node/tty.test.ts	The test validates worker and main-thread TTY behavior, raw-mode transitions, stdin delivery, synchronization, cleanup, and reported results.

Re the review note on the test comment: there is no GitHub issue for this bug. It was found by reading the teardown code, so there is no URL to link. The test is in the module's test file, not in test/regression, like the two tests above it. The next push shortens the comment to three lines that state what the test name cannot.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it reworks Windows libuv handle lifetime (process-global → thread-local stdin tty, new Kind::StdinTty teardown path, set_owner bypass), a human look at the memory-safety invariants would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• TLS slot lifetime — needs_drop compile-time assert means no TLS dtor, storage outlives the loop; is_stdin_tty callers all run on the tty's own thread.
• Teardown ordering — stop_all_for_vm_teardown runs only for workers with the VM (and readers) alive; uv_close(handle, None) on StdinTty never reads .data; entry already removed via take_next() so no double-remove.
• set_owner skipping StdinTty while set_data still writes tty.data — close() calls uv_read_stop before close_impl, so no callback fires against a dead reader (pre-existing shape, unchanged here).
• uv_tty_t::init's new debug_assert!(file != 0) — only caller is Source::open_tty, which routes fd 0 to get_stdin_tty first.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a Windows-only bug where a Worker using console stdin poisons it for the main thread. The root cause was a process-global static uv_tty_t for fd 0 in src/io/source.rs::stdin_tty, which bound to whichever thread's uv loop touched it first; when that was a Worker, the Worker's loop close left every later caller with a closed handle whose loop_ pointed at a dead thread's TLS. The fix makes the slot thread_local! (one uv_tty_t per thread, on that thread's loop), lists it in open_handles under a new Kind::StdinTty, and has worker teardown uv_close it in place with no callback. set_owner now ignores StdinTty entries (readers borrow the shared handle without closing it, so recording one would dangle). uv_tty_t::init gains a debug_assert!(file != 0) and unconditionally lists what it creates. PipeReader/PipeWriter changes are comment-only. A new ConPTY-driven test in tty.test.ts exercises Worker-then-main stdin.

Security risks

None. This is internal Windows libuv handle plumbing; no user-controlled input reaches new parsing or allocation paths.

Level of scrutiny

High. Per the repo's own review guidance, native memory safety (handle lifetime, thread affinity, teardown ordering) is the most-blocked category. The change trades a process-global + mutex for thread-local + no-dtor TLS, adds a new close-in-place teardown arm, and relies on several non-local invariants: (a) TLS storage outliving the loop because Slot has no destructor, (b) stop_all_for_vm_teardown only running for workers with the VM/readers still alive, (c) .data on the shared tty never being read after its reader is gone because close() stops the read first, (d) is_stdin_tty only ever being called on the tty's own thread. I traced each of these and they hold, but they're exactly the sort of cross-file lifetime arguments a maintainer familiar with the Windows worker teardown sequence should confirm.

Other factors

The PR description is unusually thorough (mechanism, probe output, 15/15 Windows runs, related suites run, neighboring PRs noted). The test follows the existing ConPTY pattern in the same file, awaits observable markers, wires early exit to reject, and asserts an exact structured result. The debug_assert!(file != 0) in uv_tty_t::init is safe — the only Rust caller (Source::open_tty) routes fd 0 away first, and get_stdin_tty calls the raw uv_tty_init FFI directly. No prior reviewer comments to address.

[robobun]

The four invariants listed in the review above are the ones the change rests on. Each is written down next to the code: the TLS lifetime in the doc comment of stdin_tty in src/io/source.rs, the close-in-place rule and the set_owner exception in the doc comment of Kind::StdinTty in src/libuv_sys/open_handles.rs, and the fd 0 routing in the doc comment of uv_tty_t::init. A further self-review of the diff is in progress. I will push its results together with the shortened test comment.

[Jarred-Sumner]

Use rare_data for threadlocal variables specific to a script execution context

[robobun]

Understood. I will move the slot out of the thread-local and into the VM's rare data, and update the PR.

[robobun]

Reworked as requested. The slot is no longer a thread-local. It is bun_io::StdinTty, a field of RareData, and bun_io reaches it through a new EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty() slot, the same way file_polls_ptr() reaches the file polls. A reader of fd 0 now holds Source::StdinTty, a borrow, so the pointer-identity check is_stdin_tty is gone. The mini loop returns null and its readers (there are none on fd 0) would open a tty of their own. RareData frees the handle after the Worker's loop has closed it. The description is updated for the new shape.

On Windows the new test still fails with main and passes with this branch (10 of 10 runs after the rework), and the stdin, terminal, filesink, spawn and worker lifecycle suites pass.

The comment check flagged the longer comments. They are cut down to one line each where possible. The design note is on StdinTty and in the description.

CI: test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts on the Windows lane is the known dev-server crash that #39910 and #39643 address. The rest of the red lanes passed on retry.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and the bug-hunting pass found no issues. Because it reworks the ownership and lifetime of the shared stdin uv_tty_t across worker teardown on Windows — a new Source variant threaded through every match arm, a Drop impl that frees only when is_closed(), and a new open_handles kind that closes in place with no callback — a human look at the handle-lifecycle sequencing would be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The new Source::StdinTty arm in every match in source.rs, PipeReader.rs, PipeWriter.rs — each mirrors the Tty arm except close/free, which is the intended difference.
• StdinTty::open on an already-populated slot returns the existing handle; each VM gets a fresh RareData/StdinTty, so a closed handle is never reopened.
• set_owner now no-ops for StdinTty, but set_data still writes the reader into tty.data; stop_reading() in close() calls uv_read_stop before the reader goes away, matching the pre-change stdin-tty path.
• The teardown ordering the Drop free relies on (stop phase → loop drain → RareData drop) matches the module doc in open_handles.rs.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR replaces the process-global stdin uv_tty_t on Windows with a per-VM handle stored in RareData. It adds a new Source::StdinTty enum variant (borrowed, never closed by its reader), a new open_handles::Kind::StdinTty (closed in place at teardown, freed by its owner's Drop), a new EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty() interface method, and threads the variant through ~15 match arms across source.rs, PipeReader.rs, and PipeWriter.rs. A new Bun.Terminal-driven test in test/js/node/tty.test.ts exercises the Worker-then-main-thread stdin scenario.

Security risks

None identified. This is Windows-only libuv handle plumbing for console stdin; no untrusted input parsing, auth, or crypto is touched.

Level of scrutiny

High. Per REVIEW.md, native memory safety around libuv handle lifetimes is the most-blocked category. This change introduces a new Drop impl whose correctness depends on teardown-phase ordering (the tty must be uv_closed and the loop drained before RareData drops, else heap::take frees memory libuv still references — or the intentional leak on the main thread masks a missing close elsewhere). It also changes which code path frees each tty allocation: on_tty_close no longer gates on is_stdin_tty, so any Source::Tty reaching it must now be heap-allocated by open_tty — which the diff arranges by routing fd 0 to StdinTty instead, but only when a reader context is supplied. Writers pass None, so a writer opening fd 0 as a tty would get a heap Source::Tty and close it — a behavior change from the old shared-static path (though writing to stdin is unusual).

Other factors

• The bug-hunting system found nothing.
• The author verified the new test fails on Windows main and passes with the fix (15/15 runs), and ran the surrounding stdin/terminal/worker suites.
• The PR went through a design revision mid-review (thread-local → VM rare data) and several rounds of automated comment-cop lints on comment length; the final commit trims comments, but I did not verify every flagged line is now under the linter's threshold.
• The change is Windows-only in effect (POSIX StdinTty is an uninhabited enum), so Linux CI does not exercise the new paths.

Given the handle-lifecycle subtlety and the Windows-only surface, deferring to a human reviewer.

[robobun]

On the one behaviour change the review above points out: a writer on fd 0 now gets a tty of its own and closes it, where before it closed the shared handle under every reader (the bug #34350 is about). That is intended. No code path opens a writer on fd 0 today: FileSink and the shell dup the fd first, and the stdio writers go to fd 1 and 2. The teardown order the Drop relies on is phase A (stop phase closes the handle) and D (close_thread_loop runs the close to completion) before E (RareData drops) in VirtualMachine::teardown.

I reviewed this PR and the automated bug-hunting pass found no issues. Because it reworks Windows libuv handle lifetime across Worker teardown phases (open_handles stop → loop close → RareData drop) and replaces a process-global with per-VM state, a human look at the teardown ordering would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Traced the StdinTty lifecycle: open heap-allocates and lists as Kind::StdinTty; teardown uv_closes in place; Drop frees only when uv_is_closed (fully closed, not closing) — leaks on main-thread exit as intended.
• Verified Source::StdinTty match arms mirror Source::Tty for read/stop/set_data but skip close and open_handles::set_owner; on_tty_close now only reachable from heap Source::Tty.
• Checked Tty::init now lists fd 0 as Kind::Tty — only reached by writers/mini-loop (which get their own tty), since StdinTty::open calls uv_tty_init directly and uses add_stdin_tty.
• Confirmed rare_data_ptr() lazy-inits, and EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty() returns null on POSIX/mini-loop so those paths fall through to open_tty.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a Windows-only bug where the process-global uv_tty_t for stdin (fd 0) was created on whichever loop first touched it. If a Worker touched stdin first, the handle lived on the Worker's loop; when the Worker exited and its loop closed, the shared handle was destroyed, leaving the main thread's process.stdin broken (EBADF from setRawMode, EINVAL from reads).

The fix moves the handle from a process-global RacyCell<MaybeUninit<uv_tty_t>> guarded by a mutex into per-VM RareData, exposed via a new EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty() slot. A new Source::StdinTty enum variant carries a borrowed BackRef that readers never close; the handle is registered in open_handles under a new Kind::StdinTty so teardown closes it in place (no owner callback), and RareData::Drop frees the allocation only after uv_is_closed confirms the loop finished the close. Ten files change: source.rs (the core rewrite), PipeReader.rs/PipeWriter.rs (new match arms, is_stdin_tty gate removed), lib.rs/MiniEventLoop.rs/VirtualMachine.rs/rare_data.rs (the EventLoopCtx slot and its impls), libuv.rs/open_handles.rs (registry kind), and a new ConPTY-driven test in tty.test.ts.

Security risks

None identified. This is internal handle-lifetime plumbing for console stdin on Windows; no user-controlled input reaches new parsing or trust decisions.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is native memory-safety code with an intricate teardown-order dependency: the correctness of StdinTty::drop freeing the allocation rests on the Worker teardown running stop_all_for_vm_teardown (phase A) → close_thread_loop draining the close to completion (phase D) → RareData dropping (phase E) in that order. The PR description asserts this ordering and the author verified it with debug logging on Windows, but it is exactly the kind of cross-module invariant a maintainer familiar with VirtualMachine::teardown should confirm. The removal of the is_stdin_tty() pointer-identity check in on_tty_close is safe only because Source::StdinTty is now a distinct variant that never reaches that callback — the type split makes this structural rather than a runtime gate, which is the right direction, but it changes what Source::Tty means (always heap-owned, always freed).

Other factors

The change went through one design revision on review (thread-local → RareData), which is the correct layering per REVIEW.md ("Store state on the object whose lifetime matches it"). The test is well-constructed: it uses Bun.Terminal (ConPTY) to give the child a real console stdin, drives a Worker through setRawMode + a pending read, terminates it, then verifies the main thread can still setRawMode and read — with error handlers wired to reject and the child's early exit racing the phase waits so a hang surfaces as a failure. The author reports 25 passing runs on Windows and passing runs on Linux.

Several comment-cop bot flags remain unresolved on the latest revision; these are automated comment-length checks and the author has already trimmed once. They do not indicate a code defect. No prior review from me exists on this PR.

[robobun]

One comment-length flag remains on the current head (the two-line doc on StdinTty). It is a one-liner in the next push, which I am holding for the end of a last review pass over the diff so CI runs once.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and the bug-hunting pass found no issues. Because it redesigns Windows stdin tty ownership and lifecycle across VM/Worker teardown (per-VM RareData storage, a new Source::StdinTty borrow variant, a conditional free-vs-leak in StdinTty::drop, and the Kind::StdinTty teardown path), a human look at the ownership and phase-ordering invariants would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• StdinTty::open/Drop allocation lifecycle — the box is freed only when is_closed(), else leaked; teardown phase A→D→E ordering makes this hold for Workers.
• Every match Source site in source.rs/PipeReader.rs/PipeWriter.rs — the new StdinTty arm is handled or explicitly no-op'd (never closed by the reader, never owned in set_owner).
• open_handles — set_owner early-returns on Kind::StdinTty so no reader can claim it; stop_all_for_vm_teardown closes it in place with no free callback.
• The behaviour change for writers on fd 0 (own tty instead of the shared one) — author confirmed no writer path opens fd 0 today.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR moves the Windows stdin uv_tty_t from a process-global static (stdin_tty module in src/io/source.rs) to per-VM storage in RareData, exposed through a new EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty() slot. It adds a Source::StdinTty enum variant (a borrowed BackRef the reader never closes), a Kind::StdinTty in open_handles (closed in place at teardown, freed later by RareData::drop), and threads an optional EventLoopCtx into Source::open so readers of fd 0 pick up the shared handle. Ten files are touched across bun_io, bun_event_loop, bun_jsc, and bun_libuv_sys, plus a new ConPTY-driven Worker test.

Security risks

None identified. The change is Windows console I/O plumbing with no auth, network, or user-controlled parsing surface.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is a memory-lifecycle redesign in native code with several load-bearing invariants that are stated in comments rather than enforced by types: the BackRef in Source::StdinTty is valid only because RareData outlives every reader; StdinTty::drop frees the box only if is_closed() is true (relying on teardown phase D running close_thread_loop before phase E drops RareData), and otherwise deliberately leaks; Kind::StdinTty bypasses the owner mechanism in set_owner so a reader's set_owner call becomes a silent no-op for its own source. The Windows-only paths cannot be exercised on POSIX CI, and the failure mode (UAF / handle-close ordering) is exactly the class the repo's review guidance flags for careful human review.

Other factors

The author's investigation is thorough (25-run verification on Windows, teardown-phase trace, related-PR survey), the design was already revised once on review (thread-local → RareData), and the comment-cop and CodeRabbit findings are all addressed. There is also an intentional behaviour change — a writer on fd 0 now opens its own tty and closes it, where before it shared (and closed under readers) the process-global one — which the author argues is unreachable today and aligns with #34350; a maintainer should confirm that reasoning. Given the subtlety of the ownership model and the deliberate leak path in Drop, I'm deferring rather than approving.

[robobun]

A last review pass over the diff turned up two gaps, fixed in 45315d5:

• StdinTty::open handed out the handle even after the Worker's stop phase had closed it. A reader started by a native continuation during the teardown drain would have got a dead handle. It now returns EBADF.
• The Source::StdinTty arm of close_impl left the read armed and tty.data pointing at the reader when a reader was dropped without close(). It now stops the read and clears the pointer if this reader is still the registered one. The old static had the same gap.

Re-verified on the Windows debug build: the new test fails on main and passes here (10 of 10 loops), and the stdin, terminal, filesink, spawn and worker lifetime suites pass. The description's Notes list the two pre-existing limitations the pass found (two readers of fd 0 in one VM, and libuv's process-wide cooked-read cancel state when two VMs read the console at once).

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and the automated bug hunter found no issues. Because it restructures libuv handle ownership on Windows (process-global static → per-VM RareData field, with a new Source::StdinTty variant and a Drop that conditionally frees based on is_closed()), and correctness depends on the Worker teardown phase ordering (stop → close_thread_loop → RareData drop), a human look at the lifetime reasoning would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• StdinTty::open/Drop and the Kind::StdinTty teardown arm — the free is gated on UV_HANDLE_CLOSED, so a handle whose loop-close gave up (or the exiting main thread) is leaked rather than freed under libuv.
• Every match Source site for the new variant: PipeReader start/stop/close_impl, PipeWriter::close (unreachable no-op arm), FileSink (falls to _ => {}, writers never get StdinTty), and set_owner (skips the shared tty so no reader is recorded as its owner).
• Source__setRawModeStdin now routes through js_vm_ctx().stdin_tty(); the mini-loop and POSIX return null so those paths are unchanged.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR moves the Windows shared stdin uv_tty_t from a process-global RacyCell static in src/io/source.rs to a per-VM field in RareData, exposed through a new EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty() slot. It adds a Source::StdinTty enum variant (a borrow of the VM-owned handle that readers never close), a Kind::StdinTty in the open_handles registry (closed in place at teardown, freed by RareData::Drop after the loop is closed), and a Worker/main-thread regression test in test/js/node/tty.test.ts. Eleven files are touched across bun_io, bun_libuv_sys, bun_event_loop, and bun_jsc.

Security risks

None. This is internal handle lifecycle management for console stdin on Windows. No untrusted input is parsed, no auth or crypto is touched, and the JS-visible behaviour change is that stdin keeps working after a Worker exits.

Level of scrutiny

High. The change is in the most-blocked review category for this repo (native memory safety: handle ownership, close ordering, cross-thread lifetime). The correctness argument rests on invariants outside the diff — that RareData drops in phase E after close_thread_loop in phase D, that uv_loop_close only succeeds once every handle is UV_HANDLE_CLOSED, and that no reader outlives its VM's StdinTty. The Drop impl checks is_closed() and leaks otherwise, which is the right choice but is exactly the kind of conditional free a maintainer should verify against the actual teardown sequence in VirtualMachine::teardown. The PR also introduces new reachability (two VMs can each hold a console read) with a documented libuv per-process cooked-mode limitation.

Other factors

The author did extensive Windows testing (35 runs across three revisions, plus the stdin/terminal/filesink/spawn/worker suites) and a self-review pass fixed two gaps in 45315d5 (EBADF once closing; clearing tty.data on reader drop). All match Source sites were checked for the new variant. The design was already reworked once during review (thread-local → RareData). No human maintainer has reviewed the current shape yet — the timeline is bot comments and the author's own status updates. Given the memory-safety sensitivity and the architectural decision involved, this warrants a maintainer's sign-off rather than automated approval.

[robobun]

Rebased onto main (c41a363, squashed into one commit). The conflicts were with #31940, which turned uv::Tty into a #[repr(C)] wrapper { uv: uv_tty_t, read_scratch: Vec<u8> } so that a console read's buffer is owned by the handle. Resolution:

• StdinTty now owns a Box<Tty> (the wrapper), initialised through a whole-struct pointer like Tty::init, so RareData frees the read scratch together with the handle, and only after the close completed.
• Source::StdinTty takes the same tty-read path as Source::Tty: tty_read_scratch, the alloc_cb branch and the on_stream_read staging in PipeReader.rs match both variants. Without that, the shared stdin reads would have gone back to the reader's _buffer, the use-after-free Fix Windows use-after-free of the pipe reader buffer retained by in-flight libuv reads #31940 fixed.
• The close paths use Tty::close and Tty::from_uv from Fix Windows use-after-free of the pipe reader buffer retained by in-flight libuv reads #31940; the is_stdin_tty gates they had are gone, since a Source::Tty is always heap-owned now.

On the Windows debug build of the rebased head: the new test fails on main and passes here (10 of 10 loops), the #31940 regression test ("cancelling a parked console stdin read does not corrupt the heap") passes, and terminal-spawn, process-stdin, filesink and spawn-streaming-stdin pass. Linux debug build: tty.test.ts passes.

[claude]

Thanks for addressing the stale read_scratch doc note in a3fe53f. This pass found no further issues, but a human reviewer should still look at the ownership and teardown ordering here — it is a redesign of a Windows uv handle's lifetime across VMs, and the correctness of StdinTty::drop depends on the stop_all_for_vm_teardown → close_thread_loop → RareData drop ordering holding on every teardown path.

What was reviewed:

• The new Source::StdinTty arm is covered everywhere Source::Tty is matched (read start/stop, alloc/staging, is_closed/is_active/to_stream/get_fd/set_data/ref_/unref/set_raw_mode), and set_owner deliberately no-ops so no reader can be recorded as its owner.
• close_impl's StdinTty arm stops the read and clears data only when this reader is still the registered one, so a later reader's callback pointer is not clobbered.
• Kind::StdinTty is closed in place (uv_close(handle, None)) and freed only in StdinTty::drop after is_closed() — the box is leaked (not freed under libuv) if the loop close gave up or on the exiting main thread.
• Writers pass reader_ctx: None so Bun.stdin.writer() gets its own tty and can no longer close the shared handle.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR moves the Windows console-stdin uv_tty_t from a process-wide static (stdin_tty module in src/io/source.rs) to per-VM storage on RareData, exposed through a new EventLoopCtx::stdin_tty() slot. A new Source::StdinTty variant carries a borrowed BackRef<Tty> that readers never close; a new Kind::StdinTty in open_handles closes the handle in place during Worker teardown and defers the free to RareData::drop. Eleven files change: source.rs (the new StdinTty type and Source variant), PipeReader.rs/PipeWriter.rs (match arms and close paths), lib.rs/MiniEventLoop.rs/VirtualMachine.rs/rare_data.rs (the EventLoopCtx slot and its storage), libuv.rs/open_handles.rs (registration and stop-phase close), FileSink.rs (a SAFETY comment), and a new Bun.Terminal-driven Worker test in tty.test.ts.

Security risks

None identified. This is Windows-only stdio handle plumbing with no user-controlled input reaching a parser or trust boundary.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is native memory-safety code in the most-blocked review category: it changes who owns and frees a libuv handle, adds a Drop impl whose correctness depends on teardown-phase ordering (stop_all_for_vm_teardown in phase A → close_thread_loop in D → RareData drop in E), introduces a new Source variant that must be handled at every existing match site, and adds several unsafe blocks with non-local SAFETY invariants (the BackRef outlives-holder claim, the is_closed() gate in Drop, the data-pointer identity check in close_impl). The PR description is thorough and the author caught and fixed two gaps in self-review (EBADF after teardown close, dangling data on drop-without-close), which is a good sign, but the invariants are subtle enough — and the failure mode (UAF on Worker teardown under a real console) hard enough to reproduce in CI — that a maintainer familiar with the Windows teardown sequence should confirm the phase ordering holds on every path (normal Worker exit, terminate(), and the loop-close-gave-up branch).

Other factors

The one inline finding from the previous run (stale "process-static stdin tty" clause in the Tty::read_scratch doc) was addressed in a3fe53f. All comment-cop and CodeRabbit threads are resolved. The new test uses Bun.Terminal (ConPTY) so it exercises the real console path on Windows, wires error/exit to reject, and asserts an exact JSON result; it passes on Linux as well so it is not gated. The description notes two pre-existing limitations left in place (two readers of fd 0 in one VM; libuv's process-wide cooked-read cancel state across two VMs) and one CI failure (test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts) that is a known crash on main — those are honestly disclosed rather than papered over.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find bugs (the stale read_scratch doc comment I flagged earlier was fixed in a3fe53f). Because it reworks Windows libuv handle ownership and teardown ordering — per-VM StdinTty in RareData, a new Source::StdinTty borrow variant, Kind::StdinTty closed-in-place during the stop phase, and a Drop that only frees when is_closed() — a human look at the lifetime invariants would be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The StdinTty open/drop path and its reliance on teardown phase ordering (stop closes → loop drains → RareData drops); is_closed() gate leaks rather than frees under a live loop.
• Every Source match arm for the new StdinTty variant (read start/stop, alloc/read callbacks, close_impl clears data and stops the read instead of closing, set_owner no-ops).
• open_handles set_owner early-return for Kind::StdinTty and the (None, StdinTty) close-in-place arm.
• The test's phase/waiter wiring — early exit rejects the awaited promise, cleanup in finally, no sleeps.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR replaces a process-static uv_tty_t for stdin (fd 0) on Windows with a per-VM handle stored in RareData, so a Worker that touches stdin no longer closes the handle out from under the main thread when it exits. It adds bun_io::StdinTty (owned by RareData, heap-allocates a Box<Tty>), a new Source::StdinTty(BackRef<Tty>) borrow variant threaded through every Source match in PipeReader.rs/PipeWriter.rs/source.rs, a new Kind::StdinTty in open_handles that is closed in place (no owner) during the stop phase, and a new stdin_tty() slot on the EventLoopCtx link interface (null on POSIX and the mini loop). Source__setRawModeStdin now reaches the calling VM's shared handle via js_vm_ctx(). One new ConPTY-driven test in tty.test.ts exercises Worker-then-main stdin.

Security risks

None identified. No untrusted input parsing, no auth/crypto, no network. The change is Windows console-handle plumbing.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is memory-safety-sensitive native code: raw NonNull<Tty> ownership, BackRef invariants (pointee outlives every holder), a Drop impl whose correctness depends on the exact teardown phase ordering in VirtualMachine::teardown (stop phase issues uv_close → loop close in phase D runs it to completion → RareData drops in phase E and frees the box only if UV_HANDLE_CLOSED). The close_impl StdinTty arm compares tty.data against self to decide whether to stop the read and clear the callback pointer — subtle and easy to get wrong. The PR description documents two acknowledged behaviour changes (two VMs can now both hold a console read, exposing a libuv per-process cooked-mode-cancel limitation; a writer on fd 0 now gets its own tty) and one pre-existing gap left unfixed (two readers of fd 0 in one VM overwrite each other's data).

Other factors

• My earlier inline finding (stale "process-static stdin tty" clause in the read_scratch doc) was addressed in a3fe53f; a grep confirms no remaining references.
• The design went through one revision (thread-local → RareData) at a reviewer's request, and the comment-cop bot flagged and the author trimmed many long comments — so the shape has already had some review, but the final ownership/teardown story deserves a human pass.
• CI failures reported are bun-prune/bun-pm snapshot mismatches on main, unrelated to this diff; bake/deinitialization.test.ts on Windows is a known crash tracked separately.
• The test is well-constructed (awaits observable markers, wires child exit to reject, cleanup in finally), but the Windows-specific failure-before-fix can only be shown on Windows CI.
