I re-reviewed after the follow-up commits and didn't find any bugs — both earlier nits (shared reportUncaughtException import, combined {stdout, stderr, exitCode} assertion) are addressed, and the CodeRabbit/comment-cop threads are resolved. Because this changes error-delivery semantics at the native-readable push boundary (affects every child stdio pipe and native-backed fromWeb), a human look at the recovery path would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- Traced
addChunkinreadable.ts— the flowing-mode'data'emit is synchronous and unwinds beforemaybeReadMore, so theread(0)recovery is doing the workmaybeReadMore_would have. readAfterListenerThrowguards ondestroyedandkCloseState[0]; when the native side closed,handleNumberResult/handleArrayBufferViewResultalready scheduledpush(null), so the guard avoids a redundant read.- The catch also covers the sync
pull()/start()/drain()call sites ofpushAndCheck, not only the promise path — consistent with Node dispatching all native-handle reads as uncaughtException.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR changes src/js/internal/streams/native-readable.ts to wrap stream.push(chunk) in a try/catch inside pushAndCheck. A throw from a user 'data' listener (which addChunk emits synchronously in flowing mode) is now routed through reportUncaughtException from internal/shared, and a process.nextTick(readAfterListenerThrow) re-drives the stream with read(0) so it still reaches EOF and 'close'. Previously the throw rejected the unobserved promise returned by _read's .then reaction, surfacing as unhandledRejection and stalling the stream. A subprocess regression test in child_process.test.ts asserts ue=3 ur=0 closes=3 for three sequential children whose 'data' listeners throw.
Security risks
None identified. The change catches user-listener throws and reports them via the existing jsFunctionReportUncaughtException C++ binding — the same mechanism #34660 uses for fs/dns/pbkdf2 callbacks. No new input parsing, no privilege boundaries, no resource limits touched.
Level of scrutiny
Medium-high. This is not a mechanical fix: it changes error-delivery semantics for an entire class of streams (child stdio pipes, and Readable.fromWeb over native handles like fetch bodies), and adds a recovery step whose correctness depends on the Readable state machine (addChunk unwinding before maybeReadMore, kCloseState vs the nextTick-scheduled push(null)). The pushAndCheck helper is called from five sites (promise resolution, sync pull, start, drain, and both handle*Result variants), so the catch applies more broadly than the async path the test exercises. The reasoning in the PR description is sound and I verified the addChunk control flow it cites, but a maintainer should confirm that catching every throw out of push() (including e.g. a throwing 'readable' or 'error' listener reached via errorOrDestroy) and recovering with read(0) is the intended scope.
Other factors
All prior review threads are resolved: my two nits (duplicate $newCppFunction binding → now imports from internal/shared; discarded stderr → now asserted in the combined object) were fixed in ec04277 and eeeeb24; the comment-cop paragraph-comment flags were trimmed across b0ab41f/bd413fd8/4e4128b9; CodeRabbit's 50ms-delay concern was withdrawn after the author explained the stdin-handshake alternative hangs on a separate stdin-pipe race and that the parent's first read is queued on the next tick before any child can boot+write. The test follows harness conventions (bunEnv, bunExe(), concurrent pipe drain, combined-object assertion). No outstanding unresolved feedback.

#43790 overlaps with this PR. It delivers each child stdio read result from a point where the nextTick queue and the promise job queue are empty, so a throw from a If #43790 lands first, the |
…htException When the native reader's pull returns a promise, the 'data' emit runs from the promise reaction. A throw from a user listener rejected that unobserved promise and surfaced as an unhandledRejection instead of the uncaughtException node produces for native read callbacks. The unwound reaction also skipped maybeReadMore and the EOF bookkeeping, so the stream stalled before EOF and 'close' never fired. Catch the throw at the push boundary, report it through the same uncaughtException path used for node-style callback throws, and schedule the read the throw unwound.

Only child stdio reports a 'data' listener throw as an uncaughtException. Readable.fromWeb over a native stream rethrows it from the pull reaction, so it rejects that promise as Node's fromWeb does.

Handle listener throws when buffered data flows.
If a fast-writing child fills the readable buffer, flow() can emit its 'data' event through read() after stream.push() returns. A listener throw then bypasses this catch, so readAfterListenerThrow is not scheduled and the stream can stall. Cover both the direct push() emission and the buffered flow() emission, then add a fast-writer regression case. Bun’s readable implementation shows the separate buffered-data path. (raw.githubusercontent.com) The PR objectives also report the fast-writer hang.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I checked the remaining concerns from earlier rounds against the latest push: both callers of constructNativeReadable are accounted for (child_process.ts:1300 opts in; webstreams_adapters.ts:41 stays on the rethrow path, now pinned by the new node-stream test), readAfterListenerThrow is only scheduled on the uncaughtException path so Readable.fromWeb no longer keeps pulling after a throw, and the reportUncaughtException binding is imported from internal/shared rather than redefined.
Extended reasoning...
The change routes 'data' listener throws on native-backed Readables either to reportUncaughtException (child stdio, flag true) or rethrows into the pull promise (Readable.fromWeb, flag false), and schedules a read(0) to resume the stream after an uncaughtException. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The prior-round objections (duplicate binding, fromWeb channel, missing matrix coverage) are addressed in the current diff; the two inline findings this run are a pre-existing fromWeb remaining-chunk issue and a test-hang nit, so a human should weigh those rather than this body.

🟡 nit (optional): if the fromWeb throw ever regresses to the uncaughtException channel, this test hangs until the per-test timeout instead of failing on the stdout diff. The uncaughtException handler at node-stream.test.js:1918 only logs, and the still-running Bun.serve keeps the child alive, so only the unhandledRejection handler at :1923 ever calls process.exit(). Fix: make every terminal path end the child on its own, e.g. also schedule setImmediate(() => process.exit()) (or server.stop(true)) from the uncaughtException handler, so the regression shows up as bytes=2 ue=1 ur=0 rather than a timeout.
Why this was flagged
The script at test/js/node/stream/node-stream.test.js:1915-1951 is spawned and awaited via proc.exited at :1958. The only exit trigger is setImmediate(() => process.exit()) inside the unhandledRejection handler at :1923; the uncaughtException handler at :1918 increments ue, logs "unexpected: ..." and returns. If a future change routes the fromWeb-over-native throw through reportUncaughtException (the kUncaughtOnListenerThrow true branch at src/js/internal/streams/native-readable.ts:239-243), readAfterListenerThrow re-arms the read, the body reaches EOF, but the Bun.serve created at :1927 is never stopped and keeps the event loop alive, so the child never exits. The outer test then fails only by timeout, and the diagnostic bytes=2 ue=1 ur=0 line from the exit handler at :1925 is never printed. On the base branch this test does not exist.
Verification: Triggers only if the fromWeb-over-native 'data' throw ever regresses to the reportUncaughtException channel. In test/js/node/stream/node-stream.test.js the uncaughtException handler at :1918 never ends the process; the only process.exit() call is in the unhandledRejection handler at :1923. Bun.serve at :1927 is never stopped, so the test only fails via the per-test timeout.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: a Readable.fromWeb consumer that keeps a chunk and later resumes reading after its 'data' listener threw can see that chunk's bytes silently overwritten. On the rethrow path at native-readable.ts:239 the throw unwinds handleNumberResult before its return value reaches this[kRemainingChunk] (native-readable.ts:193), so the buffer whose [0, result) region was handed out as slice stays registered as the spare buffer. The next pull (native-readable.ts:179-180) writes into that same memory. Fix: record the remaining buffer on every outcome of the push, for example store chunk.subarray(result) in kRemainingChunk before calling pushAndCheck at native-readable.ts:259-262 (or in a finally), so a throw never leaves the delivered slice aliased with the pull buffer.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
A process installs process.on('unhandledRejection'), wraps a fetch body with Readable.fromWeb, keeps each 'data' chunk in an array, and its listener throws on some chunk; afterwards it calls r.read() or r.pause(); r.resume() to continue. read() at native-readable.ts:179-180 passes the spare buffer chunk to ptr.pull, and on resolve native-readable.ts:193 assigns this[kRemainingChunk] = handleResult(...). handleNumberResult (native-readable.ts:257-271) slices chunk.subarray(0, result) for the user and would return chunk.subarray(result) as the new spare, but pushAndCheck rethrows at native-readable.ts:239, so line 193 never runs and kRemainingChunk still points at the full buffer that includes the delivered slice. On the next _read, getRemainingChunk (native-readable.ts:136-145) returns that same buffer, and the native pull writes new bytes over the memory the user's retained chunk views. The base branch behaves the same way. No guard prevents it: nothing resets kRemainingChunk on the rejection path.
Verification: pre-existing (the base branch fails the same way). On the rethrow path (native-readable.ts:239) the throw unwinds out of pushAndCheck before :193 executes, so kRemainingChunk still holds the whole buffer whose head is now owned by the consumer. The next Readable.read() calls _read again and ptr.pull overwrites it from offset 0, silently changing the bytes of the chunk the listener kept.

node:
exit=0 spawned=40 data=40 uncaughtException=40 unhandledRejection=0bun before this change:
exit=0 spawned=3 data=2 uncaughtException=1 unhandledRejection=1. After a few children the listener throw arrives as an unhandledRejection, the rejection is only noticed at loop exit (afterbeforeExit), and the child spawned from that handler never runs. With only an uncaughtException handler installed the flipped throw is fatal (rc 1). The throwing stream also stalls: its'close'never fires.Delaying the child's first write makes the failure deterministic, because the parent's pull is then always pending when data arrives: bun reports
ue=0 ur=3 closes=0vs nodeue=3 ur=0 closes=3on every run.Cause
internal/streams/native-readable.tsdrives child stdio pipes. Whenptr.pull()returns a promise,handleResult()->push()->emit('data')runs inside the.thenfulfillment reaction, and nothing observes_read()'s returned promise. A throw from the user's listener therefore rejects an unobserved promise and surfaces as unhandledRejection, where node, which dispatches these events from the native read callback, produces an uncaughtException. The throw also unwindsaddChunkbefore itsmaybeReadMorecall andhandleResultbefore its EOF scheduling, so nothing ever reads again: the stream stalls and'close'never fires, which is why a child spawned from the late rejection handler was lost.This is the same callback-dispatch class #34660 fixed for fs/dns/pbkdf2 callbacks, at a site it did not cover.
Fix
Catch the throw at the push boundary in
pushAndCheck, report it through the samejsFunctionReportUncaughtExceptionpath the guarded callbacks use, and schedule the read the throw unwound so the stream still reaches EOF. This applies to native-handle-backed streams (child stdio, andReadable.fromWebover native streams such as fetch bodies), matching node's behavior for its native-handle-backed streams. JS-backedfromWebadapters keep their existing promise semantics; node surfaces those as unhandledRejection too (verified against node v26).Verification
