output: report a failed write to stdout instead of claiming success

[robobun]

Adopts #38807 by @alii. His 16 commits are rebased onto main, he remains their author. The last five commits are mine, from review findings: install: the remaining log prints to stderr are best-effort too, bun build: write a single bundle to stdout unbuffered so a failed write is reported, the two restore the formatter indent on every exit of write_format commits (BuildArtifact, Blob), and install: an allocation failure while printing the summary tree is still an OOM. Supersedes #38807.

Problem

• A write to stdout through Output::writer() cannot fail. fd_write_all_quiet (src/sys/lib.rs:9255) drops the error and adapter_write_all (src/sys/lib.rs:9301) returns Ok(()) to the caller.
• So bun pm hash, bun pm hash-string and a single file bun build to stdout with a closed or read only stdout print nothing and exit 0. Bun 1.3 exits 1 with WriteFailed in this case.
• The quiet path for bun bun.lockb | head (issue BrokenPipe error when running a lockfile then breaking the pipe #5828) matches install::Error::WriteFailed (src/install/lockfile.rs:1655). The #[from] conversion wrapped the core error as Core(WriteFailed), so the arm did not match. Nobody could see this while writes never failed.
• The console formatter calls .expect("unreachable") on writes of Map, Set, Request and long string values (src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs, src/runtime/webcore/Request.rs, src/runtime/api/JSBundler.rs). Once a write can fail, console.log of a large Map into a closed pipe aborts inside a C callback.

Fix

• fd_write_all_quiet returns the write error. A zero length write is EIO. adapter_write_all and adapter_flush map it to bun_core::Error::WriteFailed. The buffer position is reset before the error returns, so a later write does not drain stale bytes.
• From<bun_core::Error> for install::Error maps WriteFailed to install::Error::WriteFailed, so the quiet arm in lockfile.rs matches again. A broken pipe stays quiet and exits 0. EIO, ENOSPC and a bad fd exit 1 with WriteFailed, as in 1.3.
• The console formatter records a failed write in Formatter::failed and stops printing that value. This is what the other formatter paths already do. Request and BuildArtifact return the error to their caller. BuildArtifact::write_format and Blob::write_format now hold their indent in an IndentScope, as Request does, so an early return leaves the formatter at its original depth.
• Prints in the middle of real work are best effort now: the bun --filter child output and exit line (multi_run.rs), the coverage table (test_command.rs), the bun build summary (build_command.rs), the install log and summary, and five more log prints (print_fetch_failures, root_package_json_source, pm view, update -i, the bun bun.lockb printer). The work after each print (dependents, lcov and the exit code, output files, lockfile, Global::crash()) always happens.
• Where the output is the result, the error is kept: pm hash, pm hash-string, and a single file bun build to stdout. The build path now flushes and writes the bundle through the unbuffered Output::writer(). Before, a bundle under 4 KB sat in the stdout buffer and Output::flush() dropped the error, so only bundles of 4 KB or more reported the failure.
• Verified: the six changed test files and test/regression/issue/05828.test.ts pass on a debug build of the current head (after each rebase). The two bun pm hash tests fail on main (stderr empty, exit 0). The other new tests pass on main, where no write fails. They guard the sites that a failing write reaches after this change. Details in the notes.

Background

• Output::writer() is the buffered stdout writer the CLI uses. It is a bun_core::io::Writer vtable. src/sys/lib.rs supplies the implementation (SysQuietWriterAdapter): small writes go into a buffer, a large write or a flush calls write(2) on the fd.
• bun_core::Error::WriteFailed is the one error a Writer can return. Each crate has its own Error enum and converts the core error with From. A ? on a write inside bun_install produces an install::Error.
• The console formatter (Formatter in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs) prints one value at a time. It has a failed flag. Iteration over a Map or a Set runs inside a C++ callback, so an error cannot be returned from there. The flag is how the formatter stops.
• console.log writes into a 4 KB buffer. A value that formats to more than 4 KB makes the formatter write to the fd while it is still printing. This is why the console test prints 200 entries per value.
• The tests make stdout fail by passing a read only descriptor of /dev/null as the child's stdout. write(2) on it fails with EBADF at once. This does not work on Windows, so the tests are skipped there.

Notes

Rebases:

• First rebase: one conflict, in the imports of test/bundler/cli.test.ts (2a707c0 added normalizeBunSnapshot). The new callers on main (bun pm diff uses Output::print_bytes, which ignores the error) need no change.
• Second rebase: c6a05c1 removed install::Error::BrokenPipe. The quiet arm in lockfile.rs matches WriteFailed only, which is the variant the new From impl produces. 05828.test.ts still passes.
• Third rebase: Trim ~2 MB from the release binary without touching hot paths #39770 (3d3016e) turned the const generics of print_code_coverage into runtime bools and a pretty_lit! macro. This conflicted with the coverage commit. The resolution keeps main's spelling and this PR's shape: every table write is let _ =, none of them returns early any more. The resolved commit is still authored by @alii.
• Fourth rebase: pm ls: list a workspace the root also depends on once #39962 (b4684c8) added normalizeBunSnapshot to the imports of test/cli/install/bun-pm.test.ts, next to the imports this PR adds. Union of both, nothing else conflicted. The dead code removals in Remove dead code from the bun_runtime re-export hubs, bun_core, bun_css, bun_install, bun_bundler, the FFI crates, and the error-code table #39582 and Remove dead code from simdutf_sys, ncrypto, js_parser, bun_install, built-in JS, bindgen, uSockets, and 66 Cargo manifests #39732 do not touch anything this PR uses (disable_buffering_scope, written_slice, InvalidCharacter are all still there).
• Fifth rebase: no conflicts. It picks up test: keep audit fixture advisory range clear of Bun.version #40039, which fixes test/cli/install/bun-audit.test.ts on main. That test was red on every lane of the previous CI run (build 103036) because the bump to 1.4.1 made normalizeBunSnapshot rewrite the literal <1.4.1 inside the audit snapshot. This PR does not touch it.
• Sixth rebase: bun test --parallel: do not let an import-only worker mark an executed function as uncovered #39934 added a test at the end of test/cli/test/coverage.test.ts, where this PR adds one too. Both are kept. Four pm ls tests in test/cli/install/bun-pm.test.ts fail on main itself since pm: polish dedupe, prune, pm ls and pm licenses output #38952 changed the header to (N installed) without updating the inline snapshots that pm ls: list a workspace the root also depends on once #39962 added (node_modules (5)). This PR does not touch pm ls.
• Seventh rebase: no conflicts. It picks up test: update bun-pm.test.ts pm ls snapshots for #38952's header; name prune's HoistedTree::init flags #40062, which fixes those pm ls snapshots and the prune summary expectation. bun-pm (24), bun-prune (110, 1 skipped) and bun-audit (182) pass on the debug build of this head, together with the files listed above.
• Eighth rebase: Compiled executables: alias embedded bytecode instead of copying it; smaller, page-friendly bytecode (WebKit#494) #40201 added the BuiltinBytecode and BytecodeStringTable arms to the two match f.output_kind expressions of the build summary, which this PR moved into print_output_file_line. The arms are in the moved function. bundler cli (35, 2 skipped), bun-build-api (56, 1 skipped), bun-pm, console-log, coverage, filter-workspace, bun-update-transitive and 05828 pass on the debug build of this head.
• Ninth rebase: same spot. module_info: fixed-width tagged wire format with one string table per executable #40509 added the ModuleInfoStringTable arm, which is in print_output_file_line now. The same files pass on the debug build of this head. Two new bytecode tests in bun-build-api.test.ts from main hit the 5 s limit on this machine (a debug build, 14 s and 31 s when run alone with a longer timeout) and are unrelated to this PR.

Two review comments outside the diff: print_summary_tree discarded every error of Tree::print, including Alloc. The last commit sends Alloc to bun_core::out_of_memory(), as the lockfile printer does, and keeps only WriteFailed best-effort (bun-add 70 and bun-update-transitive 175 pass). The Bun.sleep(100) in the --parallel merges line coverage across workers test belongs to #39934 on main, not to this PR.

The install commit: four of the five prints sit right before Global::crash() or Global::exit(1), where a failed write replaced the intended exit with a WriteFailed error. In print_fetch_failures a failed write made bun outdated exit 1 for an optional dependency's warning and skipped the log reset. print_fetch_failures returns the bool and root_package_json_source returns the Source, since neither has an error path left. The new test in bun-update-transitive.test.ts exits 1 with that site reverted and passes with it.

The bun build commit: Output::writer() is the unbuffered adapter, Output::writer_buffered() the 4 KB one, and Output::flush() drops the flush error. The single bundle path wrote through the buffered one, so a small bundle to a read only stdout exited 0 with nothing written while a large one exited 1. Probed by hand on the debug build: a 25 KB and a 20 byte bundle to a read only stdout both exit 1 with WriteFailed now, a normal stdout still prints the bundle, and bun build a.js | head -c 1 exits 1 as it did for large bundles before this commit. The new test in test/bundler/cli.test.ts fails on main and on the head before this commit (empty stderr, exit 0). The same commit removes a leftover inner block in print_exit_status.

Test runs on the debug build after the fifth rebase and the bun build commit: bun-pm (24, this now includes the pm ls tests from #39962), filter-workspace (80, 2 skipped on linux), console-log (5), bundler cli (35, 2 skipped on linux), coverage (13), bun-update-transitive (175), 05828 (1), bun-audit (182). After the third rebase also the coverage consumers 29925, 30205, 31503. Before the rebases also bun-info, update_interactive_install and the pnpm-lock-v9 manifest block. One run of bundler cli.test.ts had the three concurrent --compile tests at about 4.5 s each on this machine and one of them hit the 5 s limit once. It passed alone and in the next full run. This PR does not touch that path.

Fail-before on the release build of main (8326d1b): bun pm hash and bun pm hash-string with a read only stdout print nothing to stderr and exit 0. The tests expect WriteFailed and exit 1.

Status: CI is green at 76331b2. This is #38807 rebased onto current main plus five small commits from review findings (listed in the description). Every review thread is answered. Ready for review.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes the core stdout/stderr write path in src/sys/lib.rs and then makes a policy call at ~15 downstream sites (fail vs. best-effort) across install, build, test, multi-run, and the console formatter, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• adapter_write_all/adapter_flush now reset this.pos before returning the error, so buffered bytes aren't replayed on the next write.
• The manual From<bun_core::Error> for install::Error maps WriteFailed to the local variant so the broken-pipe arm at src/install/lockfile.rs:1656 matches again; the reverse From already round-trips it.
• The console-formatter iterator callbacks (Map/Set/JSX) now set self.failed instead of .expect("unreachable"), and each callback re-checks failed before recursing — no panic path left inside the C++ forEach frame.
• multi_run::maybe_finish was checked for the abort/dependent cascade after the best-effort print_exit_status extraction — the failed computation re-derives slot from handle.process so control flow is unchanged.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR surfaces write(2) failures through Output::writer() instead of silently swallowing them. The core change is in src/sys/lib.rs where fd_write_all_quiet now returns Maybe<()> and adapter_write_all/adapter_flush map failures to bun_core::Error::WriteFailed. Every downstream caller then had to decide whether a failed print is fatal (?) or best-effort (let _ =). The PR touches 18 source files across sys, install (lockfile, error, migration, yarn, PackageManager), jsc (ConsoleObject, lib), runtime/cli (build_command, multi_run, test_command, package_manager_command), runtime/api (JSBundler), runtime/webcore (Request), and runtime/test_runner (pretty_format), plus 5 test files.

Security risks

None identified. The change is about error propagation on stdout/stderr writes; no untrusted input parsing, auth, or crypto paths are involved.

Level of scrutiny

High. The SysQuietWriterAdapter change is the write path behind every CLI print in Bun, so a mistake here affects every command. More importantly, the PR encodes ~15 separate policy decisions about which prints are load-bearing (e.g. bun pm hash must fail with exit 1) versus decorative (e.g. the install summary tree, the build per-file line, the coverage table, the multi-run exit-status line). Each of those is defensible and well-argued in the description, but they are product decisions a maintainer should sign off on. The console-formatter changes also remove panics that fire inside a C++ forEach callback, which is memory-safety-adjacent territory.

Other factors

• The PR is a rebase/adoption of #38807; the description is unusually thorough and documents which tests fail on main vs. this branch, satisfying the "prove the test fails for the right reason" bar for the two bun pm hash tests.
• install::Error::Core loses its #[from] derive in favor of a manual impl that flattens WriteFailed/Alloc/InvalidCharacter — this changes how every ? on a bun_core::Error inside bun_install is wrapped, which is the kind of cross-cutting change worth a maintainer glance.
• generate_meta_hash/has_meta_hash_changed become infallible; all six callers were updated consistently.
• The new tests use the read-only /dev/null fd trick and are correctly skipIf(isWindows).

Given the breadth (23 files), the core-I/O behavior change, and the per-site policy calls, this exceeds the bar for auto-approval even though no defects were found.

[claude]

Thanks — the four missed log.print(error_writer())? sites from my earlier note are now converted (commit 3d34d5b), print_fetch_failures returns bool, and there's a new bun outdated broken-stderr test. No further findings this pass. Given the scope (core src/sys/lib.rs write-path semantics + console formatter + best-effort-vs-fail policy at ~15 CLI call sites across 28 files), a human look is still worthwhile.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR makes Output::writer() writes fallible by having fd_write_all_quiet / adapter_write_all / adapter_flush in src/sys/lib.rs return WriteFailed instead of swallowing the syscall error. It then audits every downstream site: bun pm hash* and the lockfile printer now fail hard, while mid-work prints (bun install summary, bun build per-file lines, bun --parallel output, bun test --coverage table, install-log log.print(error_writer())) become best-effort let _ = …. The console formatter (ConsoleObject.rs, jsc/lib.rs, Request.rs, JSBundler.rs, pretty_format.rs) replaces ~25 .expect("unreachable") with self.failed = true so a broken stdout during Map/Set/JSX/Event printing doesn't abort inside a C callback. install::Error gains an explicit From<bun_core::Error> so WriteFailed maps to the variant lockfile.rs matches. generate_meta_hash/has_meta_hash_changed become infallible with a new meta_hash_input() split.

Since my previous review the author pushed 3d34d5b, which converts the four remaining log.print(error_writer())? sites I flagged (print_fetch_failures, root_package_json_source, update_interactive_command.rs:554, pm_view_command.rs:159) and adds a bun outdated broken-stderr test in bun-update-transitive.test.ts.

Security risks

None identified. This is I/O error-propagation plumbing; no auth, crypto, untrusted-input parsing, or path handling changes.

Level of scrutiny

High. The src/sys/lib.rs change flips a foundational invariant (stdout/stderr writes were infallible; now every ? on Output::writer() is live), and the ConsoleObject.rs formatter is a hot, many-branched path where a missed .expect("unreachable") would abort inside a C++ forEach callback. The per-site best-effort vs fail-hard classification is a policy choice at ~15 locations across install / build / test / multi_run / pm — reasonable, but the kind of thing a maintainer should confirm.

Other factors

Six new tests cover the primary claims (pm hash EBADF, console.log Map/Set/Request/MessageEvent into a dead stdout, bun build still writes files, --parallel still runs dependents, coverage still writes lcov + honors threshold, bun outdated with broken stderr). The bug-hunting system found nothing this run. The comment-cop bot's six comment-length notes were all argued and resolved; my prior inline finding is fully addressed in code. CI (#100973) is still building at the time of this review.

[claude]

I re-reviewed after 3d34d5b/adf9d4ca addressed the missing sibling sites and didn't find any bugs. Because this changes the foundational Output::writer() error semantics in src/sys/lib.rs and then makes per-command policy calls across ~20 files about which output paths are best-effort vs must-fail, a human sign-off on those choices would still be worthwhile.

Checked: the buffer position reset in adapter_write_all/adapter_flush happens before the error return so stale bytes don't drain later; the new From<bun_core::Error> impl round-trips with the existing From<Error> for bun_core::Error; the write_indent &self→&mut self change is covered in both trait impls (ConsoleObject and pretty_format); test_command.rs still sets opts.fractions.failing and reaches the lcov rename after console-write failures.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR makes fd_write_all_quiet in src/sys/lib.rs return the underlying write error instead of silently discarding it, then audits every downstream site that previously relied on writes never failing. It touches 22 source files across the sys layer, install/package-manager, CLI commands (build, test, multi-run, outdated, pm, update-interactive), the console formatter (ConsoleObject.rs, jsc/lib.rs, pretty_format.rs), and Request/BuildArtifact printing. It adds 6 new tests using a read-only /dev/null fd to force EBADF on stdout/stderr.

Security risks

None. This is output error-handling plumbing; no auth, crypto, parsing of untrusted input, or new external I/O.

Level of scrutiny

High. The core change flips a long-standing invariant ("stdout/stderr writes through Output::writer() cannot fail") that many call sites implicitly depended on. Every ? on a write that was previously dead code is now live, and the PR must decide site-by-site whether failure should propagate (bun pm hash) or be swallowed (bun install summary, bun build file table, bun test --coverage table, bun --parallel prefix lines). Those are user-visible policy decisions a maintainer should confirm. The ConsoleFormatter::write_indent trait signature change from &self to &mut self is small but public within the crate.

Other factors

My prior inline nit (four missed log.print(error_writer())? sibling sites) was addressed in 3d34d5b/adf9d4ca with a regression test for the bun outdated case. The PR description documents debug-build test runs across all six affected test files. The comment-cop bot flags on doc comments were all justified and resolved. No unresolved review threads remain. The change is well-executed and thoroughly tested, but its scope and the number of per-site policy decisions put it outside what I'd approve without a human look.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs — the sibling log.print(error_writer())? sites I flagged earlier are now converted, and this pass found nothing new. Because it's a 28-file change that flips the core Output::writer() adapter from infallible to fallible and makes a per-site fail-vs-best-effort policy decision across install, build, test, multi-run, and the console formatter, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• src/sys/lib.rs adapter: buffer position is reset before returning the error, zero-write maps to EIO, quiet_writer_write_all linkage still returns bool.
• install::Error From<bun_core::Error>: WriteFailed/Alloc/InvalidCharacter unwrap to native variants; the reverse From<Error> for bun_core::Error still round-trips.
• generate_meta_hash/has_meta_hash_changed signature change: all callers in migration.rs, yarn.rs, PackageManagerDirectories.rs, install_with_manager.rs, package_manager_command.rs updated.
• Console formatter: the .expect("unreachable") removals in Map/Set/JSX/Event/Request/BuildArtifact paths now set self.failed and bail; write_indent &self → &mut self propagated through the ConsoleFormatter trait and pretty_format.rs.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes fd_write_all_quiet / adapter_write_all / adapter_flush in src/sys/lib.rs so that writes through Output::writer() and Output::error_writer() can now return WriteFailed instead of silently succeeding. That single change makes every ? on a stdout/stderr write in the codebase newly reachable, so the PR audits ~20 print sites across install, build, test-coverage, multi-run, outdated/update-interactive, pm view, and the console formatter, and classifies each as either "the output is the result — propagate" (pm hash, pm hash-string) or "best-effort — let _ =" (install summary, build summary, coverage table, filter output, log prints before Global::crash()). It also removes a dozen .expect("unreachable") calls in ConsoleObject.rs/Request.rs/JSBundler.rs that would now abort mid-C-callback, routing them through the existing Formatter::failed flag instead. generate_meta_hash is refactored to split out meta_hash_input() and drop its Result return, with all callers updated. A custom From<bun_core::Error> for install::Error unwraps WriteFailed so the bun bun.lockb | head quiet-arm in lockfile.rs matches again.

Security risks

None. The change is about error propagation on stdout/stderr writes; no auth, crypto, path handling, or untrusted-input parsing is touched.

Level of scrutiny

High. The src/sys/lib.rs adapter change is load-bearing for every CLI command — a mistake there (e.g., not resetting this.pos before returning the error) would leave stale bytes in the buffer for the next write. The per-site fail-vs-best-effort decisions are policy calls a maintainer should validate: e.g., is it correct that bun build --outdir still exits 0 when the summary can't be printed but the files are on disk? Is the coverage-table best-effort choice right when --coverage-reporter=text was explicitly requested? The console formatter changes touch ~100 lines across Map/Set/JSX/Event printing and change write_indent's receiver from &self to &mut self, which propagates through the ConsoleFormatter trait.

Other factors

• My previous inline comment (four missed sibling log.print(error_writer())? sites) was addressed in 3d34d5b/adf9d4c; the diff now includes those plus a fifth in lockfile.rs, and the return-type simplifications (print_fetch_failures → bool, root_package_json_source → Source) I suggested.
• The PR adopts #38807 by another author across three rebases with documented conflict resolutions; someone should confirm the adoption preserves the original intent.
• Six new tests use a read-only /dev/null fd as stdout/stderr to force EBADF; the bun pm hash tests are the only ones that fail-before on main, the rest guard newly-reachable paths. All are skipIf(isWindows).
• The test_command.rs change removes the early-return-on-write-error pattern and the lcov_guard disarm, so the lcov file and opts.fractions.failing are now always set even when the console table can't be written — verified against the new coverage test.
• The build_command.rs drop(opt_output_dir)/drop(opt_public_path) before exit_or_watch is new and unrelated to write errors; the comment says it's for LeakSanitizer since exit_or_watch diverges.

[claude]

I re-reviewed after e6ea4dd (Blob IndentScope) and 92d45ed (BuildArtifact IndentScope) — both look correct, and no new issues were found. Given the scope (core stdout/stderr adapter behavior in src/sys/lib.rs, the install::Error ↔ bun_core::Error conversion, and the per-callsite best-effort vs. propagate policy across ~20 sites), a human sign-off is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• adapter_write_all/adapter_flush reset pos before returning the error, so a later write does not drain stale bytes.
• Grepped remaining write_format implementors — Request, Response, S3Client, S3File, Archive, and now BuildArtifact and Blob all use IndentScope; none pair indent_inc/indent_dec by hand.
• hash-string now calls meta_hash_input() directly instead of has_meta_hash_changed(true, …); confirmed the removed side-effect (mutating self.meta_hash) is dead at that call site (Global::exit(0) follows immediately).
• The coverage-table rewrite: the removed early returns previously skipped opts.fractions.failing = failing and the lcov rename; the new let _ = shape reaches both regardless of the console write result.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR makes stdout/stderr writes through Output::writer() fallible instead of silently succeeding. It touches the low-level adapter (src/sys/lib.rs), the install::Error ↔ bun_core::Error conversion, the console formatter (ConsoleObject.rs, Request.rs, Blob.rs, JSBundler.rs), and roughly twenty CLI print sites across install / build / test / multi-run / outdated / pm, plus six test files. 29 files changed.

Security risks

None identified. The change surfaces I/O errors that were previously discarded; no new untrusted input is parsed, no auth or crypto is touched.

Level of scrutiny

High. The adapter change in src/sys/lib.rs alters the failure semantics of every buffered stdout/stderr write in the process, and the PR then classifies each affected call site as either "best-effort" (let _ =) or "the output is the result" (?). That classification is a design/policy decision spanning many subsystems — a human maintainer should confirm the split matches Bun's intended behavior (e.g., that bun build file.js to stdout should exit 1 on a broken pipe while the install summary should not).

Other factors

All prior automated findings on this PR (mine and CodeRabbit's) have been addressed and the threads resolved: the bun build <4 KB buffered-write gap, the redundant inner block in print_exit_status, the BuildArtifact/Blob indent restoration, and the additional best-effort log prints in install. The current bug-hunting pass found nothing new. Test coverage is good — six new tests exercise the read-only-/dev/null-as-stdout technique and the PR description records fail-before behavior on main. The two most recent commits are small, mechanical IndentScope conversions matching the existing pattern in Request.rs/S3Client.rs. Nonetheless, the breadth of the change and the fact that it adopts another contributor's 16 commits with four additional review-driven commits on top makes it a poor fit for auto-approval.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR across three prior rounds and this pass found no new issues — every earlier finding (the size-dependent bun build stdout path, the leftover inner block in print_exit_status, the Blob::write_format indent scope) is addressed in the current diff. Because it changes core stdout/stderr error propagation in src/sys/lib.rs and applies a "result vs. best-effort" policy across ~15 CLI/install call sites, a maintainer sign-off on that policy split would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• fd_write_all_quiet/adapter_write_all/adapter_flush now surface WriteFailed; buffer position is reset before returning so no stale bytes drain later.
• The .expect("unreachable") removals in the console formatter's Map/Set/JSX/Event paths — checked that failed guards sit before Tag::get_advanced/format so no user code runs after a failed write.
• install::Error::From<bun_core::Error> maps WriteFailed directly so the bun bun.lockb broken-pipe arm matches again; print_summary_tree still routes OOM through out_of_memory() while dropping WriteFailed.
• All write_format siblings (Request, BuildArtifact, Blob, Response, S3Client, S3File, Archive) are on IndentScope — no raw indent_inc/indent_dec pair remains.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR makes Output::writer() writes fallible: fd_write_all_quiet in src/sys/lib.rs now returns Maybe<()> (zero-write → EIO), and adapter_write_all/adapter_flush map that to bun_core::Error::WriteFailed instead of returning Ok(()). Every downstream site that previously assumed the write could not fail is then classified as either "the output is the result" (pm hash/hash-string/hash-print, single-file bun build to stdout — these keep the error and exit 1) or "best-effort progress print" (install summary/log, coverage table, --filter child output, build summary lines, five more log.print sites — these become let _ =). The console formatter's Map/Set/JSON-string/JSX/Event paths replace .expect("unreachable") with self.failed = true, matching the pattern the rest of the formatter already used. install::Error gains a hand-written From<bun_core::Error> so WriteFailed maps to install::Error::WriteFailed (fixing the #5828 broken-pipe quiet arm that the derived #[from] wrapped as Core(WriteFailed)). BuildArtifact::write_format and Blob::write_format move to IndentScope so early ? returns leave the shared formatter's indent balanced. Six test files add coverage using a read-only /dev/null fd as the child's stdout/stderr.

Security risks

None identified. The change is about how CLI-side write(2) failures on stdout/stderr propagate; no untrusted input parsing, no auth/crypto, no new external I/O. The read-only-fd test technique is contained to the test harness.

Level of scrutiny

High. src/sys/lib.rs is the concrete implementation behind every Output::writer() call in the codebase, so changing its failure semantics reaches every CLI command. The PR also encodes a policy — which prints are load-bearing and which are advisory — across ~15 sites in install, build, test, pm, outdated, and multi_run. That policy is defensible and consistently applied (and the PR description states it explicitly), but it is a judgment call a maintainer should ratify rather than something an automated reviewer should stamp. The generate_meta_hash/meta_hash_input split changes a public-ish lockfile method's signature from Result<MetaHash, _> to MetaHash, which is fine for the in-tree callers but is another shape change worth a human glance.

Other factors

This PR has already been through three rounds of my inline review plus a CodeRabbit pass; every finding is resolved and reflected in the current diff (the head commits — bun build: write a single bundle to stdout unbuffered, the two IndentScope commits, install: an allocation failure while printing the summary tree is still an OOM — are exactly the fixes those rounds asked for). Test coverage is solid: each best-effort site has a test proving the downstream work (output files, lcov, exit code, dependents) still happens with a dead stdout/stderr, and each result-is-output site has a test proving it now exits 1 with WriteFailed. The PR adopts and rebases 16 commits from another contributor (#38807), which is another reason a maintainer merge decision is appropriate.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR again after e6ea4dd and 0e8697f and found no further issues — all four of my earlier findings and CodeRabbit's have been addressed and the threads are resolved. Because this changes the error contract of the core Output::writer() adapter and re-classifies ~20 call sites across install/build/test/multi-run/console as best-effort vs must-report, a human sign-off on that classification would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• adapter_write_all/adapter_flush now surface WriteFailed; buffer position is reset before the error so stale bytes aren't re-drained.
• The new From<bun_core::Error> for install::Error maps WriteFailed/Alloc/InvalidCharacter to their own variants so the bun bun.lockb | head quiet arm matches again; print_summary_tree still routes Alloc to out_of_memory().
• Console formatter: .expect("unreachable") sites replaced with self.failed recording; the Map/Set C-callback paths guard failed before Tag::get_advanced/format. BuildArtifact/Blob/Request write_format now use IndentScope so early ? restores indent.
• bun build single-file-to-stdout writes unbuffered so <4 KB bundles also report the failure; generate_meta_hash split into meta_hash_input so pm hash-string can ? its own write.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR changes fd_write_all_quiet / adapter_write_all / adapter_flush in src/sys/lib.rs to return the underlying write error instead of silently swallowing it, then walks every CLI-side caller of Output::writer() / error_writer() and decides per-site whether a failed write should propagate (?) or be discarded (let _ =). It touches 29 files: the sys adapter, install (error.rs From impl, lockfile meta-hash refactor, ~10 log-print sites), the console formatter (ConsoleObject.rs, jsc/lib.rs, Request/Blob/BuildArtifact write_format), five CLI commands (build, multi_run, test, package_manager, outdated/pm_view/update_interactive), pretty_format.rs, and six test files with new EBADF-stdout tests.

Security risks

None. The change is about I/O error propagation on stdout/stderr; no auth, crypto, parsing of untrusted input, or path handling is touched. The one hand-written From impl exhaustively maps three known variants and falls through to Core(other).

Level of scrutiny

High. The core change is small but its blast radius is every buffered stdout/stderr write in the CLI. Each of the ~20 re-classified sites is a judgment call ("is this print the result, or a summary?"), and a wrong let _ = silently drops a real failure while a wrong ? turns a cosmetic print into a hard error. The PR description documents each decision and the tests cover both directions (pm hash / bun build to stdout must fail; --parallel / coverage / install summary must not), but a maintainer should confirm the classification matches intent — particularly the install-side log.print sites now made best-effort right before Global::crash().

Other factors

This PR has been through three rounds of automated review already (my four inline findings on 08-19 and 08-22, CodeRabbit's three on 08-22, github-actions comment-cop), all addressed with fix commits and every thread resolved. The bug-hunting system found nothing this run. The two commits since my last inline comment (Blob IndentScope, print_summary_tree Alloc→OOM) are both direct responses to review. Test coverage is good: six new tests exercise the read-only-/dev/null-as-stdout path across pm hash, bun build (both directions), --parallel, coverage+lcov, console.log of Map/Set/Request, and bun outdated with a dead stderr. Given the scope and the number of per-site policy decisions, I'm deferring rather than approving.
