When a command reads from stdin or a - pipe and the stream closes with no records, normalize_to_bgzf reported Input is empty: <path> (expected BAM or SAM records). That reads as a user error about a genuinely empty file.

In a pipe, an empty input almost always means an upstream stage exited before writing anything — a crash, an OOM kill, a set -o pipefail abort. The "empty input" wording then sends debugging in the wrong direction: at the reader that hit EOF, not at the producer that died.

Change

Route both InputFormat::Empty sites (direct and gzip-member) through a new empty_input_error(path, file_desc) helper that keys on the existing is_stdin_path:

  • regular file → unchanged: Input is empty: <path> (expected BAM or SAM records)
  • stdin / - → No records read from <path> (expected BAM or SAM records): the input stream closed before any records arrived. In a pipe this usually means an upstream stage exited or was killed (for example, out-of-memory) before writing — check the exit status and logs of the command feeding this one.

Tests

Two unit tests in sam_input: an empty regular-file path keeps the "Input is empty" wording; - and /dev/stdin get the upstream-pointing message and never say "Input is empty". cargo test -p fgumi-bam-io (168 passed); clippy and fmt clean.

Notes / possible follow-ups

  • Detection is by path (is_stdin_path: -, /dev/stdin), covering the common pipe case. A named FIFO passed by path would still get the file wording; a fstat-based is_fifo() check could extend it if wanted.
  • The writer-side symptom of the same failure (a downstream stage dying mid-pipe surfaces as a bare Broken pipe (os error 32) on the producer) is untouched here; a clearer "downstream stage closed the pipe" message could be a separate change.

Risk: command output changes: diagnostics only; grouping, consensus, sort order, corrected UMIs, and metrics are unchanged; unsafe changes: none, so the CLAUDE.md allowlist is unchanged; memory bounds, queue capacity, and thread/backpressure policy changes: none.

Fixes source-aware empty-input diagnostics in normalize_to_bgzf. Regular files retain Input is empty. Pipe-like inputs report that the stream closed before records arrived and direct users to upstream status and logs. Empty gzip members use the same routing. Tests cover regular files, -, /dev/stdin, pipe-like paths, and gzip members.

Walkthrough

Empty SAM diagnostics now distinguish regular files, stdin-like paths, FIFOs, descriptor paths, and empty gzip members. Parameterized tests cover source detection and diagnostic wording.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Source-aware diagnostics and validation
crates/fgumi-bam-io/src/sam_input.rs
Pipe-like sources use upstream-termination wording. Regular files retain specific empty-input wording. Empty gzip members use the same routing. Documentation and parameterized tests cover the behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c007e

This change improves empty-stream diagnostics by directing stdin and pipe failures toward the upstream producer while preserving regular-file behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Comment thread crates/fgumi-bam-io/src/sam_input.rs Outdated
When a command reads from stdin or a `-` pipe and the stream closes with
no records, the reader reported "Input is empty", which reads as a user
error about an empty file. In a pipe the usual cause is an upstream stage
exiting before writing — a crash, an OOM kill, a pipefail abort — so the
empty-file wording sends debugging in the wrong direction.

Distinguish the source via the existing is_stdin_path: for a regular file
keep the "Input is empty" wording; for stdin/`-` say the stream closed
before any records arrived and point at the feeding command's exit status
and logs. Applies to both the direct and gzip-member empty cases.
