Problem

  • bytes()/arrayBuffer() on a type: "direct" stream never settle when the source's close() hook throws and pull() completes normally. Example: new Response(asyncIterable).bytes() when the iterator's return() throws (a 1.4.1 regression, found by fuzzing, no user report).
  • oneShotDirectClose (BunStreamConsumers.cpp) latches m_closed, runs the hook, then settles. A throw skips the settle. After that only a pull() rejection settles the result.

Fix

  • The settle half moves, unchanged, into oneShotDirectFinish. A new m_finishOwed bit lets it run once per sink.
  • The two frames that see pull() complete normally run the owed finish. The hook never runs twice.
  • The hook still runs first, on purpose. Settle-first (webstreams: propagate exceptions through helpers, convert only at boundaries #39913) loses errors that main delivers. A comment below asks which rule wins.
  • Verified: streams.test.js, body-async-iterator.test.ts (10 new rows time out on main). The 83 probe cells that settle on main do not change.

Background

  • A direct stream's pull() gets a controller with write(), end() and close(). A source can have an undocumented close(reason) hook. For an async iterable body it calls iterator.return().
  • bytes()/arrayBuffer() call pull() once with a throwaway controller (JSOneShotDirectSink). Its end()/close() settle the result.

Downsides

  • Where pull() catches a close() made inside the pull() call, bytes() now resolves but text() rejects close hook. Main hangs there.
  • Still hangs, as on main: 6 shapes where pull() never completes after the throw, and res.clone() of such a body.
  • Cost per direct body: +35 to +47 instructions (+0.2 to +0.3 %, whole process, a separate perf run), 0 allocations, 0 microtask jobs. Release .text +1024 B.
Notes

Scope and cause of the regression. A hand-written direct source whose pull() catches the hook's throw has hung since at least 1.2.0. The async iterable route is the regression: 1.2.0 and 1.3.14 reject with the return() error, 1.4.0 resolves, 1.4.1 and later hang. #39913 (in 1.4.1) replaced the clear of a synchronous return() throw in asyncIterReturnIteratorAndSettle with RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION, so the throw now leaves the hook. The pump drops it and resolves pull().

History of this PR. Up to f039fd4 this PR settled first and then ran the hook. A fuzz comparison showed that this changes 36 of 83 cells that settle on main. That version is on branch robobun/4eec28b9/settle-first-variant.

Probe (91 cells: 7 pull() shapes x close/end x 7 consumers, a hook that throws), against a canary of main

main settle first, then hook (old head f039fd4) this PR
Cells that never settle 8 0 0
Cells that settle on main and change, of 83 36 0
of those: hook error reported nowhere 16 0
of those: hook error moves to uncaughtException 4 0
of those: pull failed reported nowhere 16 0
Order rows a non-throwing hook can observe that differ 2 of 4 0 of 4 and 0 of 50

30-shape model: 11 of 17 never-settling shapes settle, 0 wrong outcomes, 0 main-settled shapes changed.

Newly settled cells against text() for the same source

pull() shape bytes() on main bytes() here text()
close() caught after an await never settles resolves resolves
close() caught inside the pull() call (sync or async) never settles resolves rejects close hook
close(error) caught after an await never settles rejects reason rejects reason
close(error) caught inside the pull() call never settles rejects reason rejects close hook
async iterable whose return() throws never settles resolves resolves

The reader route defers a close() made inside the pull() call until pull() returns, so pull() never sees the throw and the consumer gets it. The one-shot controller closes inline, so pull() gets the throw. Rejecting as well would deliver the error twice.

Shapes that still never settle. In each one pull() never completes after the hook throws. At the time of the throw they cannot be told apart from shapes whose later rejection is the result.

  • a caught or uncaught close() from a timer while pull()'s promise never settles (2 shapes)
  • a caught or uncaught close() from setImmediate after a sync pull() returned (2 shapes, a stacked follow-up covers these)
  • a caught close() after an await, then a never-settling await
  • a caught close() inside the call, then pull() returns a never-settling promise

The pinned rows (not caught, caught, then pull() rejects, the implicit close) record outcomes this fix does not change. They are not a contract: text() settles some of them differently, and that parity question is open.

Review fixes. A throw from the owed finish at the sync-return tail (an end() failure above 4 GiB) rejects the consumer and unlocks the stream, as the reaction does. Verified with a 4.25 GB body. No CI test: nothing cheaper triggers it. The finish keeps main's order (end() before the pending check), so a close() after a failed pull() still releases the buffer: 526 MB here, 524 MB on a debug build of main.

Self-reviewed: 7 concerns raised, 7 addressed (2 code fixes, the maintainer question, excluded sites named, regression scope and cause corrected, tests trimmed from 45 rows to 8, pin comment reworded).

Exception checks: the ledger script runs clean under BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1.

Cost for callers who never hit the bug. The whole process executes +35 to +47 more instructions per consumed direct body (+0.2 to +0.3 %), and CPU cycles do not change. A separate check of this head measured that with perf stat on one pinned core, 15 interleaved runs, spread 0.01 %: new Response(direct 64 B).bytes() x 200,000 takes 3,202.4 M instructions on main and 3,211.6 M with this change, which is +46 per body. The result is the same at three iteration counts and with the FTL off. That measurement was not repeated in this environment: perf and valgrind are not installed and cannot be installed (no package egress), and perf_event_open returns EPERM.

The rest of this section was measured here, on release builds of the merge base (73df7bb) and of this PR, same machine, same build cache.

The table is a lower bound. It counts only the instructions executed inside the one-shot consumer's own functions (consumeDirectStreamToArrayBuffer, the bound close()/end() target, oneShotDirectClose/oneShotDirectFinish/oneShotDirectFail, the pull-fulfilled reaction), per consumed body, second body of a process. Counted by single-stepping those functions under gdb, with callees outside the set run at full speed. The count is the same on every run. It leaves out the callees and the other threads (the garbage collector visits one more field per live sink). It is 13 lower than the whole-process count at both ends of the range. Where those 13 instructions run was not measured.

Body main this PR
sync pull(), close(), no hook 594 625 +31
sync pull(), close(), hook that returns 594 625 +31
sync pull(), close(error), hook that returns 610 644 +34
async pull(), close() after an await 668 699 +31
async pull() that resolves without close() 641 663 +22
async generator body, new Response(gen).bytes() 677 708 +31

Where the instructions go: an explicit close()/end() is +20 (store the bit and the reason, one more call), the pull-fulfilled reaction is +11 (one call that finds nothing owed), and the sync-return tail is +11 (the same call).

  • Wall clock, Bun.readableStreamToBytes of a 1-byte sync body, 200,000 bodies per run, 10 interleaved runs per build: median 1789 ns per body on main and 1764 ns here. The difference of the medians (-24 ns) is far below the run-to-run spread (1094 ns on main, 1394 ns here), so wall clock shows no change.
  • Binary size (size): .text +1024 B, .data and .bss +0 B, for both bun and bun-profile. The one-shot symbols grow by 937 B in total (nm -S): LTO now inlines oneShotDirectClose into its 2 callers and keeps oneShotDirectFinish (791 B) and oneShotDirectFail (227 B) as functions.
  • Heap: 1 OneShotDirectSink cell per body on both builds. GC cells per body and the microtask turn at which the consumer settles are identical in 5 of 5 shapes (heapStats with BUN_JSC_useGC=0). The cell gains one internal field and a static_assert keeps it within 64 bytes.
  • 0 new host functions and 0 new handler-list entries (JSStreamsRuntime.h/.cpp are untouched).

Fail-before, like for like. With src/ at the merge base (73df7bb) a debug+ASAN build fails 5 of the 8 new streams.test.js rows and 5 of the 7 new body-async-iterator.test.ts rows, all as timeouts. The 3 pin rows and the text()/blob() rows pass on both builds by design. With this PR's src/ all 15 pass.

Declined review finding. A bot review asked to keep the close reason in the sink's field until settlement, so it stays rooted while ArrayBufferSink.end() runs. Not changed, and the bot withdrew the finding: the reason is a JSValue local that is read again after end() returns, so it is live across the call. JSDirectStreamController.cpp:847-849 and :1069-1071 use the same idiom on main. Checked with 1500 iterations of the owed finish with a fresh object reason (both finish sites, Malloc=1, BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1, ASAN build): every rejection carried the right reason and there was no sanitizer report.

Walkthrough

The one-shot stream sink now records the close reason and defers finalization when the source close hook throws. Pull continuations complete owed finalization. Tests cover direct stream close errors and seven body-consumption APIs when async iterator cleanup throws.

Changes

Direct stream close behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record close state and finish owed work
src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/BunStreamConsumers.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/JSOneShotDirectSink.h
The sink stores the close reason and tracks owed finalization. The close path invokes the source hook after recording close state. If the hook throws, pull continuations later finish the sink and settle the capability without invoking the hook again.
Test stream consumer cleanup
test/js/web/streams/streams.test.js, test/js/web/fetch/body-async-iterator.test.ts
Tests cover synchronous and asynchronous pulls, close-hook errors, subsequent writes, rejection cases, and implicit-close errors. Body-consumption tests cover seven APIs and check consumed bytes and iterator call order when return() throws.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 18d7c

Consuming a direct stream with an object-valued close reason may become unsafe during finalization. Keep the reason rooted through settlement before merging.

Status for b79b0e9 (18d7cc3 plus an empty commit; replaces f039fd4, which changed 36 of 83 cells that settle on main and is parked on branch robobun/4eec28b9/settle-first-variant).

How it was reproduced: the ledger script (new Response(asyncIterable).bytes() with a return() that throws) prints PENDING for bytes and arrayBuffer on a canary of main (367d939) and settles on all 8 rows with this build. A 91-cell probe (7 pull() shapes x close/end x 7 consumers, a direct source whose close() hook throws) has 8 cells that never settle on main.

Checked on a debug+ASAN build of this head:

  • Probe: 0 of 83 cells that settle on main changed. 8 of 8 never-settling cells resolve with the body.
  • 30-shape model: 11 of 17 never-settling shapes settle, 0 main-settled shapes changed. 6 shapes still never settle, as on main (listed in the PR body notes).
  • A close() hook that does not throw observes the same order as on main in 4 of 4 and 50 of 50 rows.
  • Fail-before, like for like: with src/ at the merge base (73df7bb), a debug+ASAN build fails 5 of the 8 new rows of streams.test.js and 5 of the 7 new rows of body-async-iterator.test.ts, all as timeouts. A canary of main fails the same rows. The 3 pin rows pass on both builds by design. With this PR's src/ all 15 pass.
  • streams.test.js, body-async-iterator.test.ts and serve-direct-readable-stream.test.ts: 814 pass, 0 fail.

CI: green on b79b0e9 (build 120357, 181 lanes passed).

Cost for callers who never hit the bug: +35 to +47 instructions per consumed direct body in the whole process (+0.2 to +0.3 %), and CPU cycles do not change. A separate check of this head measured that with perf stat (one pinned core, 15 interleaved runs, new Response(direct 64 B).bytes() x 200,000: 3,202.4 M to 3,211.6 M instructions). It was not repeated in this environment, which has no perf or valgrind and where perf_event_open returns EPERM.

Measured here, on release builds of the merge base 73df7bb and of this head: +22 to +34 of those instructions are inside the one-shot consumer's own functions (594 to 625 for a sync pull() that calls close(), counted by single-stepping those functions under gdb), 0 allocations, 0 microtask jobs, .text +1024 B. Wall clock shows no change (10 interleaved runs, the difference of the medians is below the run-to-run spread). An earlier version of the PR description gave the +22 to +34 figure as the whole cost. That was too low. The table is in the PR body notes.

Open: the design question to the maintainers in the comment below (hook first with an owed finish, or settle first). A stacked follow-up for close() from a task after a sync pull() returned waits for that answer.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings on the test file, I checked the C++ reorder itself: the "same order as JSDirectStreamController::onClose" claim is accurate (that path does endDirectSink → finishClose → callUnderlyingSourceClose), RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION still follows each JS-entering call, and reusing the single empty MarkedArgumentBuffer for both zero-arg calls is fine.

Extended reasoning...

The two inline findings are both test-hygiene issues (an explicit per-test timeout that violates test/CLAUDE.md's CRITICAL rule, and an unreachable return after a throw). The native change — swapping the order so the ArrayBufferSink's end() and the capability fulfill happen before the source's close() hook — was checked against the referenced JSDirectStreamController::onClose at src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/JSDirectStreamController.cpp:646, which does follow the claimed order, and the exception-check discipline in the reordered block is intact. Noting that here so a human reviewer doesn't re-verify the comment's cross-reference.

Thanks — the latest push addresses everything I raised: RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION now follows the mid-function fulfill (BunStreamConsumers.cpp:1705), the per-test timeout is gone, and the unreachable return after the unconditional throw is deleted. I have nothing further; a maintainer sign-off on the observable ordering change (result fulfilled before the source's close() hook runs) would still be worthwhile since it's a behavior change in native stream-consumer code.

What was reviewed

  • Re-checked exception-scope discipline in jsWebStreamsHandler_boundOneShotDirectClose after the reorder — every JS-entering call (invokeMethod, fulfill, JSC::call) is now followed by RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION.
  • Confirmed m_closed = true is set before any re-entrant call and sink fields are read via WriteBarrier getters, so re-entrancy through fulfill reactions can't double-close.
  • Tests cover the full sibling matrix (bytes/arrayBuffer/text/blob) with exact byte and call-order assertions, no timeouts, no sleeps.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR reorders jsWebStreamsHandler_boundOneShotDirectClose in src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/BunStreamConsumers.cpp so the ArrayBufferSink's end() result is computed and the capability promise is fulfilled before the underlying source's close() hook runs. Previously close() ran first, and a throw from it (the async-iterable source's close() calls iterator.return()) left the consumer promise pending forever. Four describe.each tests are added to test/js/web/fetch/body-async-iterator.test.ts covering bytes/arrayBuffer/text/blob on a Response whose iterator's return() throws.

Security risks

None identified. This is an internal ordering change in how a direct-stream consumer settles its result promise relative to invoking a user-supplied close() hook. No new user input is parsed, no auth/crypto/permissions surface is touched, and no new allocation or bounds arithmetic is introduced.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. The diff is small (~15 lines moved plus one added exception check), but it lives in C++ JSC bindings where exception-scope discipline and re-entrancy are the most-blocked review category per REVIEW.md. Across four pushes, all three issues I raised earlier were fixed: the missing RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION after the now-non-terminal fulfill (commit a0be04b), the per-test 5000 timeout, and the dead return after an unconditional throw in the test fixture (commit 3606db1). I re-read the final function body: m_closed is latched before any re-entrant call, each of invokeMethod/fulfill/JSC::call has a following RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION, and the shared MarkedArgumentBuffer noArguments is never appended to between uses.

Other factors

The reorder is a deliberate observable behavior change — the source's close() hook now sees a world where the consumer promise is already fulfilled, and a throw from that hook no longer prevents settlement. The PR cites JSDirectStreamController::onClose as precedent for this ordering, which is plausible, but confirming that this is the intended contract for the one-shot path (and that no caller depends on close() running before fulfillment) is a judgment call for a maintainer familiar with the direct-stream design. That, plus the general rule of not auto-approving native bindings changes, is why I'm deferring rather than approving.

Rebasing onto main now. The close path moved into oneShotDirectClose in #42146 with the same order (source close() hook before the sink ends and the result settles), so the fix is re-applied there. Pushing shortly with the extra consumer rows (Request.bytes(), Bun.readableStreamToBytes, Bun.readableStreamToArrayBuffer) in the test.

LGTM — the earlier feedback is addressed (RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION now follows the mid-function fulfill/reject, the per-test 5000ms timeout is gone, and the unreachable return after throw in the test iterator is deleted).

What was reviewed:

  • Exception-scope discipline in oneShotDirectClose: every JS-entering call (invokeMethod, readableStreamError, reject/fulfill) is checked; the tail source->close() goes through RELEASE_AND_RETURN.
  • Holding the raw source pointer across JS calls after clearSource() — same pattern as JSDirectStreamController::onClose (JSDirectStreamController.cpp:870-880), stack-rooted; no new lifetime hazard.
  • Ordering on the truthy-reason path: reject and source->close() both still run, just swapped, matching the sibling controller.
  • Tests: describe.each matrix over 7 consumers, exact byte and call-log assertions, no timeouts/sleeps, added to the existing module test file.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR reorders oneShotDirectClose() in src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/BunStreamConsumers.cpp so the one-shot ArrayBufferSink's capability promise is settled before the direct source's close() hook runs. Previously a synchronous throw from iterator.return() (invoked by the async-iterable source's close()) tripped RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION and bailed before capability->fulfill(), leaving Response.bytes()/arrayBuffer() on an async-iterable body pending forever. The test file gains a describe.each matrix over Response/Request body consumers and Bun.readableStreamTo* asserting exact collected bytes and iterator call order when return() throws.

Security risks

None. This is internal ordering of promise settlement vs. a user-observable close hook in the streams bindings; no auth, crypto, path handling, or untrusted-input parsing is involved. The change does not widen any input surface.

Level of scrutiny

Elevated, because it is JSC C++ bindings with ThrowScope discipline and a raw JSCell pointer held across JS-entering calls. I traced each call site: invokeMethod → checked at 1643; readableStreamError → checked at 1650; reject/fulfill → now checked at 1656 (the fix for my prior comment); source->close() is a RELEASE_AND_RETURN tail call. The capture-then-clear-then-use-later pattern for source exactly mirrors JSDirectStreamController::onClose at lines 870-880 (and cancelSteps at 927), so it introduces no new GC-lifetime pattern. On the error (reason truthy) path, both capability->reject() and source->close() still execute — only the order is swapped relative to the base — matching the sibling controller's semantics.

Other factors

This is my fifth pass on the PR. All three of my prior inline findings are addressed in the latest commit: the missing RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION after the now-mid-function fulfill, the per-test 5000 timeout (test/CLAUDE.md forbids), and the unreachable return after throw in the test iterator. The test matrix was also expanded from 4 to 7 consumers (adding Request.bytes() and Bun.readableStreamTo{Bytes,ArrayBuffer}), covering more sibling entry points per REVIEW.md's "fix the whole class" guidance. No outstanding CHANGES_REQUESTED reviews; the coderabbit threads were resolved by a non-author. The gate evidence shows the tests time out on main and pass with the fix under both ASAN-debug and release. Net native diff is ~14 lines and is a straight reorder to match an existing, reviewed sibling — small enough and well-tested enough to approve.

Heads-up on an overlap: #42950 also edits oneShotDirectClose and the two onConsumeDirectToArrayBufferPull* reactions.

#42950 returns the capability for an async pull(), so bytes()/arrayBuffer() on a direct stream settle at end()/close() and not when pull() returns. It does not change the order this PR fixes (the source close() hook still runs before the result settles), and the hang from a throwing return() still reproduces on that branch. The two changes are independent.

For the rebase of whichever lands second:

Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 17, 2026
…se(), not when pull() returns (#42950)

### Problem
- On a `type: "direct"` ReadableStream, nine whole-body readers wait for
`pull()` to settle, not for `controller.end()`/`close()`. A `pull()`
that never returns after `end()` hangs them. `text()`, `blob()` and
reader loops settle at `end()`.
- A caught `close(error)` rejection exits the process with code 1. It
happens when an async `pull()` awaits cleanup after `close(error)`, and
when a sync `pull()` throws after it. New on main since #41894.
- The cause is `consumeDirectStreamToArrayBuffer`
(`src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/BunStreamConsumers.cpp:1114`).
`end()`/`close()` settle the capability promise. For an async `pull()`
the caller got a second promise that adopted it only after `pull()`
settled.

### Fix
- Return the capability for an async `pull()`, as a sync `pull()` does.
The pull reactions settle it when `pull()` settles first. A clean
`end()`/`close()` then also closes and unlocks the stream.
- A sync `pull()` that throws after `close(error)` still rejects with
the throw. The rejected capability that nobody holds is now marked
handled.
- The native sink path (`readDirectStream`) had the same wait. #42957
fixed it, and this PR is rebased on it.
- Verified: `test/js/web/streams/streams.test.js` (16 new tests, main at
1e31339 fails 14). Also `test/js/web/streams/`, `body*.test.ts`,
`serve-direct-readable-stream.test.ts`, `html-rewriter.test.js`.

### Background
- A direct stream has no queue. `pull()` gets a controller with
`write()`, `end()` and `close()`. Per `docs/runtime/streams.mdx:76`,
every destination finishes at `close()`/`end()`, and `close(error)`
rejects the consumer.
- The nine readers call `pull()` once with a one-shot controller
(`JSOneShotDirectSink`) over an `ArrayBufferSink`. The capability
promise carries the result.
- Bun reports a rejected promise as unhandled if it has no handler when
microtasks drain. No user reported this bug.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

Demand: there is no issue and no user report. The bug was found by
reading the code during work on the same wait in the native sink path.
It needs a user-written direct stream whose async `pull()` keeps running
after its own `end()`/`close()`, read through one of the nine readers.
The failure is silent (a promise that never settles, or a false exit
code 1), and it contradicts the documented contract.

The nine readers: `bytes()` and `arrayBuffer()` on `Response` and
`Request`, `ReadableStream.prototype.bytes()`,
`Bun.readableStreamToBytes`, `Bun.readableStreamToArrayBuffer`, and
`arrayBuffer`/`buffer` from `node:stream/consumers`. All nine hang on
main and settle with this change.

Repro for the hang:

```ts
const make = () => new ReadableStream({ type: "direct", async pull(c) { c.write("hello"); await new Promise(r => setImmediate(r)); c.end(); await new Promise(() => {}); } } as any);
await new Response(make()).text();  // settles
await new Response(make()).bytes(); // never settles before this change
```

Repro for the exit code. On main it prints `caught: query failed`, then
`error: query failed`, and exits with code 1. On 1.4.2 `close(error)`
was a clean close, so nothing rejected.

```ts
const body = new ReadableStream({ type: "direct", async pull(c) {
  try { c.write("partial"); await new Promise(r => setImmediate(r)); throw new Error("query failed"); }
  catch (e) { c.close(e); }
  finally { await new Promise(r => setImmediate(r)); }
} } as any);
try { await new Response(body).arrayBuffer(); } catch (e) { console.log("caught:", e.message); }
```

Before and after, `Bun.readableStreamToBytes(s)`:

```
async: end(), then never returns         pending                      -> resolves
async: close(error), then never returns  pending + unhandled "boom"   -> rejects "boom", nothing stray
async: close(error), then returns        rejects + unhandled "boom"   -> rejects "boom", nothing stray
async: close(), await, throw             resolves, stream locked      -> resolves, stream closed and unlocked
async: end() then return                 resolves, closed, unlocked   -> same
sync: close(error), then throw           rejects + unhandled "boom"   -> rejects with the throw, nothing stray
other sync shapes                        unchanged
```

Each added mechanism has a test that fails without it (checked by
removing it and running the tests):
- `m_insidePullCall` exists for one case: a sync `pull()` that calls
`end()` and then throws. The caller rejects with the throw and the
stream ends up errored, as before. Without the check `end()` closes the
stream first. Test: `a sync pull() that throws after end() rejects with
the throw and errors the stream`.
- The fall-through in the async arm (`end()` before the first await) and
the close in `oneShotDirectClose` (`end()` after an await). Test:
`leaves the stream closed and unlocked once it settles`.

The rejected reaction now fails the consumer whenever the result is
still pending, not only when the sink is open. The one case where that
differs: a source `close()` hook that throws out of `end()`, and
`pull()` does not catch it. That hung before. It now rejects with the
hook's error. The case where `pull()` catches the hook's throw still
hangs, as on main. #41721 and #41472 each fix it.

The contract matrix: #42957 added the three "never returns" shapes to
`shapes` and skipped them for the three ArrayBuffer consumers
(`waitsForPullToReturn`, `pullNeverReturns`). This PR removes both, so
every consumer runs every shape. Those nine cells are new here and time
out on main. The other seven new tests are in `direct stream edge
cases`. The two sync `end()`-then-throw tests pass on main by design:
they pin `m_insidePullCall`.

An earlier revision of this PR had its own copies of these shapes, and
the ASAN lane reported a leaked `FileSink` for the `Bun.write` and
`Bun.spawn` stdin cells, because a native sink lived until `pull()`
settled. #42957 removed that cause. The direct stream tests pass here
with the ASAN lane's leak check on.

A larger alternative is to drop the one-shot controller and read these
bodies through `JSDirectStreamController`, as `text()` does, so that
every consumer shares one close path. This PR does not do that. The
one-shot path writes straight into the `ArrayBufferSink` without a
reader, and this change is about 40 lines. The new contract shapes apply
to either design. That fold is a separate decision for a maintainer.

Overlap with open PRs in the same function:
- #41721 adds `markPromiseAsHandled(vm, capability)` in the async arm,
to hide the stray unhandled rejection. With this change the caller holds
the capability, so that line is no longer needed there, and it would
hide a rejection that the caller ignores. The test `close(error) is
reported as unhandled only when the caller ignores the rejection, and
then once` pins this. This PR also has the same line as #41721 in the
sync throw path, after review feedback here. The rest of #41721 (the
throwing `close()` hook, `FileSink`) is independent of this change and
still needed.
- #41472 reorders `oneShotDirectClose` (settle first, then the `close()`
hook). It is independent of this change. Both edit the tail of
`oneShotDirectClose`, so the second one to land needs a small rebase.

Self-reviewed: 5 concerns raised, 5 addressed. No user report and the
reach are stated. The larger alternative is named. The second site
(`readDirectStream`) is fixed on main by #42957, and this PR removes the
skip that #42957 left for these consumers.

I reviewed the rebased version of this PR and didn't find any bugs; the three points from my earlier reviews (exception check after fulfill, the per-test timeout, the unreachable return) are all addressed in the current diff. Because this reorders user-hook invocation in the streams C++ and makes an observable behavior change (a throwing close() hook during the implicit close is now reported as an uncaught exception instead of being swallowed or rejecting the consumer), a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • oneShotDirectClose now mirrors JSDirectStreamController::onClose line for line (raw source local, clear, end sink, settle, RELEASE_AND_RETURN into the hook); exception checks follow every JS-entering call including the new non-terminal fulfill/reject.
  • The rejected-branch rethrow in the pull-fulfilled reaction: checked that enterStreams propagates a throw from deliver to the reaction job, matching deliverDirectError; the subprocess test asserts uncaughtException for all five consumers.
  • onConsumeDirectToArrayBufferPullRejected still drops oneShotDirectFail's result, so a pull() that rejects after a clean close stays silent — same as onDirectPullRejected on the reader path and covered by the "Not caught" case in streams.test.js, so not a regression.
  • I could not execute the tests or a debug build in this environment, so the USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 fail / bun bd test pass claim is unverified by me.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR touches one C++ file, src/jsc/bindings/webcore/streams/BunStreamConsumers.cpp (the one-shot direct-stream buffer consumer behind Response/Request.bytes()/arrayBuffer() and Bun.readableStreamToBytes/ArrayBuffer), plus two test files. oneShotDirectClose is reordered to end the ArrayBufferSink and settle the capability promise before invoking the source's close() hook, and oneShotDirectFail now returns whether it delivered the rejection so the pull-fulfilled reaction's error branch can rethrow a hook error that had no consumer left to receive it. The clone contains only the single rebased commit, so the prior versions I reviewed are not diffable here; I re-verified from the current code that the three items I previously flagged are gone: RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION(scope, ); now follows the reject/fulfill block at line 1685, the fetch test no longer passes a 5000 timeout, and the iterator's return() has no unreachable statement.

Security risks

None specific to this change. The code runs only on the JS thread inside existing stream reactions, allocates nothing new, and does not parse user data. The main hazard class is exception-scope and re-entrancy correctness: the source's close() hook runs user JS (for async-iterable bodies it calls iterator.return()). The new order clears sink->source() before any JS runs, keeps only a stack local across end()/settle, and calls the hook last as a tail call, which is the identical shape JSDirectStreamController::onClose already uses at lines 878-889 of JSDirectStreamController.cpp. The stream's own m_directSource was already cleared at consume time (consumeDirectStreamToArrayBuffer line 1075), so the stack local is the sole reference during the intervening calls, but that was equally true of the base branch's source->close() call and is the standard JSC pattern for JSCell* locals.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The C++ diff is small (about 60 lines) but sits in exception-scope-sensitive streams code, and it intentionally changes observable behavior: on the implicit close (pull() resolves without close()/end()), a throwing hook used to reject the buffer consumers and is now surfaced through uncaughtException while the consumer resolves with the body. The PR argues this matches the text()/reader path, and the new subprocess test asserts identical { result: "resolved: a", uncaught: ["close hook"] } for all five consumers, which supports that. The ruled-out candidate about the hook throw being "silently lost" does not hold: the rejected-branch lambda rethrows when delivered is false, and enterStreams lets that propagate out of the host function to the promise reaction job, which is exactly what deliverDirectError does. The one path that still swallows is onConsumeDirectToArrayBufferPullRejected ignoring the bool, but that only applies when pull() itself rejects after the result was already settled, is unchanged from base, matches onDirectPullRejected, and is pinned by the "Not caught" expectation in streams.test.js. A maintainer commented on 09-10 and the rebase/commit followed on 09-17; I cannot read that comment, so a human should confirm it was addressed.

Other factors

Tests are added to the existing files for the module as the repo convention requires, use the file's established helpers (tally, direct, settle, txt, later), cover the variant matrix (seven consumers, iterator finishing inside vs. after the pull() call, close vs. end, caught vs. uncaught, sync vs. async), and the subprocess test drains stdout before asserting exit code. The remaining uncertainty is that I was unable to build or run anything in this environment, so I cannot independently confirm the tests fail on stock bun and pass with the change; the author's description claims stock 1.4.3 times out on the five one-shot rows, which is consistent with the mechanism described in the code but unverified by me.

Rebased onto main after #42950. The reorder is re-applied inside the new oneShotDirectClose. The block that closes the stream stays next to the fulfill.

#41721 fixed this same hang the opposite way: it rejected the consumer with the hook's error. Only one of the two could merge. I measured both against the other consumers, on debug builds of main, this PR and #41721:

where close()/end() is called              text/blob/reader   this PR   #41721 before
async iterable body, return() throws       resolve body       resolve   reject
async pull(), after an await               resolve body       resolve   reject
sync pull(), try/catch around it           reject hook err    resolve   reject

Node 26 resolves the first row with the body. So this PR owns the fix, and #41721 no longer touches oneShotDirectClose (it is reduced to its FileSink change).

Two things changed here with the rebase:

  • The test block now also covers an iterator that finishes after the pull() call returned. streams.test.js covers a user close() hook that throws: called after an await, called inside the pull() call, and from the implicit close.
  • Implicit close (pull() resolves without close()): the result is settled when the hook throws, and no caller exists to receive the throw. The reaction throws it on, so it is reported as uncaught, which is what text() does. Before, these consumers rejected with it.

The last table row still differs from text(). The reader path defers a close() made inside the pull() call until pull() returns, so the throw goes to the consumer. The one-shot controller closes inline, so pull() catches the throw and the body stands. Matching it needs the same deferred close in JSOneShotDirectSink. I left that out on purpose: it is a larger change for a hook that is not in the public types. The Notes have the full table.

…un-once finish

oneShotDirectClose keeps its order: latch m_closed, run the source's
close() hook, end the ArrayBufferSink, then settle the result. The part
after the hook moves into oneShotDirectFinish, unchanged. A new
m_finishOwed bit lets it run at most once per sink, and the close reason
is stored on the sink before the hook runs so the finish can settle with
it.

No caller can observe a difference: the finish still runs only from
oneShotDirectClose, after the hook returns.
…completes normally

bytes()/arrayBuffer() on a direct stream call pull() once with a
throwaway controller. Its close()/end() run the source's close() hook and
then end the ArrayBufferSink and settle the result. A hook that throws
leaves before that second half. When pull() then rejects, the rejection
settles the result. When pull() completes normally, nothing settled it
and the consumer never resolved. A hand-written direct source whose
pull() catches the throw has hung this way since at least 1.2.0.

An async iterable body reached it in 1.4.1: its close() hook calls
iterator.return(), and #39913 stopped clearing a synchronous throw from
return() there. The pump drops that throw and resolves pull(), so
new Response(asyncIterable).bytes() hung where 1.4.0 resolved.

The two frames that see pull() complete normally now run the owed finish:
the sync-return tail of consumeDirectStreamToArrayBuffer and the
pull-fulfilled reaction. The hook does not run again. A throw from the
finish at the tail rejects the consumer, as it does in the reaction.
Every case that settled before settles the same way.

@Jarred-Sumner @dylan-conway one design question before I replace the head of this PR.

The current head (f039fd4) settles the result first and then runs the source's close() hook. That fixes the hang, but it changes cases that settle on main today. I am about to force-push a different shape that keeps main's order and changes only the cases that never settle. f039fd4 stays available on branch robobun/4eec28b9/settle-first-variant.

Measured with a 91-cell probe (7 pull() shapes x close/end x 7 consumers, a direct source whose close() hook throws), each build against a canary of main:

main settle first, then hook (f039fd4) hook first, owed finish (new head)
Order in oneShotDirectClose hook, then settle settle, then hook hook, then settle
New state none 1 bit + 1 internal field on the sink
Cells that never settle, of 91 8 0 0
Cells that settle on main and change, of 83 36 0
Of those: the hook's error is reported nowhere 16 0
Of those: the hook's error moves from a rejection to uncaughtException 4 0
Of those: pull()'s own rejection (pull failed) is reported nowhere 16 0
What a close() hook that does not throw observes (order rows that differ) 2 of 4 0 of 4, 0 of 50

The two rules pull in different directions here, and I think only you can rank them:

The new head keeps the hook first on purpose, so every rejection that main delivers is still delivered. The cost is the extra bit and field, and it leaves oneShotDirectClose as the odd site. If you prefer settle-first, or want bytes() to match text() in the cells where they differ today, say so and I will build that instead.

A stacked follow-up (a close() from a task after a sync pull() returned, which still never settles) waits for your answer.

The walkthrough above still describes the earlier head (settle first, then the hook). The current head 18d7cc3 keeps the hook first and finishes an owed close when pull() completes.

@coderabbitai your summary still lists the GC-rooting finding as a merge risk ("Keep the reason rooted through settlement before merging"). You withdrew that finding in its review thread after checking JSDirectStreamController.cpp:847-849 and :1069-1071. Please update the merge-risk note so it matches.

@robobun, you’re right. The merge-risk note is stale because the GC-rooting finding was withdrawn. I’ll regenerate the summary so it no longer lists “Keep the reason rooted through settlement before merging” as a merge risk.
