Redo of #29140 from scratch on current main. Fixes #29126. Fixes #41414, fixes #25822, fixes #27285, fixes #29112 (node-pty: tty.ReadStream on a non-blocking pty master, carried over from #41421).

Problem

  • On a terminal, process.stdin kept a background read on fd 0 after the last consumer went away. A child spawned with stdio: "inherit" (vim, less, tmux, cat) then raced the parent for keystrokes. tty.ReadStream extended fs.ReadStream, so it had no handle to stop and a 64 KiB high water mark that never reported backpressure.
  • process.binding("tty_wrap").TTY was a C++ object with only setRawMode and getWindowSize. Nothing in the runtime could drive reads through it.

Fix

  • src/runtime/node/tty_wrap.rs adds a Rust TTY handle with Node's LibuvStreamWrap surface: readStart, readStop, setRawMode, getWindowSize, ref, unref, close, onread(nread, buffer), bytesRead, fd. It reads through bun_io::BufferedReader on a nonblocking reopen of the terminal. readStop() unregisters the poll, so a stopped stdin holds neither fd 0 nor the event loop.
  • tty.ReadStream now extends net.Socket over that handle with readableHighWaterMark: 0, as in Node's lib/tty.js. Every push() reports backpressure, the handle stops after each chunk, and _read() starts it again only when a consumer pulls. getStdinStream builds the TTY stdin the way Node's getStdin() does, including the deferred readStop on pause().
  • net.ts learns the stream-wrap contract next to its usockets path: tryReadStart/tryReadStop keep handle.reading, onStreamRead pushes and ends the stream on UV_EOF, and writes go to the handle's fd with write(2).
  • A regular-file fd is rejected with ERR_TTY_INIT_FAILED, as uv_tty_init does. A fd the handle cannot reopen by name (a pty master, a pipe) is closed on close() unless it is stdio, as libuv does. node-pty relies on that. setRawMode() failures emit an ErrnoException (tty: emit ErrnoException on setRawMode failure #33580).
  • Verified: test/js/node/tty.test.ts (fourteen new tests, thirteen fail on bun 1.4.2). They cover destroy() with no input pending, a non-blocking pty master as node-pty uses it (tty.ReadStream destroys itself with EAGAIN on non-blocking fds — breaks node-pty (no terminal output at all) #41414, fixtures from Read a non-blocking fd through the pollable reader in tty.ReadStream #41421), the setRawMode and ERR_TTY_INIT_FAILED error shapes, the onread option over a TTY handle (including EOF behind a buffered tail), and /dev/tty from a process whose stdio are all pipes. Also nodettywrap, tui-app-tty-pattern, tty-readstream-ref-unref, tty-reopen-after-stdin-eof, readline/stdin-pause-pty, stream/node-stream, test/js/node/net, and the Node test-tty-*/test-stdin-* parallel tests.

Background

  • A stream-wrap handle is Node's name for the native object under a net.Socket. The socket calls readStart()/readStop(), the handle calls back onread(nread, buffer), and nread < 0 is a libuv errno (-4095 is UV_EOF).
  • BufferedReader is the event-loop fd reader behind Bun.file(fd).stream() and Bun.Terminal. Its poll is one-shot. pause() unregisters it, which is what Fix: after pausing stdin, a subprocess should be able to read from stdin #23341 made process.stdin.pause() rely on.
  • libuv reopens a tty through /dev/pts/N so that O_NONBLOCK never leaks onto the shared stdin description. The handle does the same (open_as_nonblocking_tty) and falls back to a dup it only reads when poll(2) says ready. On macOS kqueue refuses the /dev/tty alias, so the handle asks the kernel (sysctl KERN_PROC) for the controlling terminal's /dev/ttysNNN device.
  • The handle keeps two refs: the JS wrapper's, released in finalize, and the reader's, released once when the reader reports done or an error. Those callbacks run from inside the reader's own methods, so they touch only Cell fields, never the reader. close() tears the reader down, as Terminal.rs does. this_value is strong only while reading, so an unreferenced stream that is still reading survives GC, like a live libuv handle.
Notes
  • Behaviour checked against Node v26.3.0 under a PTY: process.stdin shape (instanceof tty.ReadStream/net.Socket/Duplex, readableHighWaterMark === 0, Object.getPrototypeOf(tty.ReadStream) === net.Socket), the handle.reading sequence across data/pause/resume, process.stdin.write()/end()/finish, and the ERR_TTY_INIT_FAILED message for a regular file.
  • process.stdin.ref() while not reading does not hold the loop (libuv: ref'd and active). readStart() adds the hold, unref() drops it.
  • On Windows stdin raw mode goes through Source__setRawModeStdin (VT raw), as before; other fds use uv_tty_set_mode on the reader's handle.
  • Non-TTY stdin (pipe, file, socket) is unchanged and still uses Bun.stdin.stream().
  • node:tty loads node:net at module load, as Node does (Object.getPrototypeOf(tty.ReadStream) must be net.Socket at once). tty.WriteStream lives in internal/tty/write_stream, which process.stdout on a TTY uses directly, so a TTY stdout does not load node:net. In a debug build node:net costs about 650 ms to load.
  • This supersedes the interim Read a non-blocking fd through the pollable reader in tty.ReadStream #41421 (its fixture and tests are ported here) and tty: emit ErrnoException on setRawMode failure #33580 (folded in). The stack node_util_binding: add guessHandleType(fd) #29137, net: support Socket({handle, manualStart}) with stream-wrap onread #29139, net: native Pipe handle, Socket({fd}) via createHandle #29141, net: Pipe writeBuffer/shutdown via StreamingWriter #29142 from the original author is untouched.
  • docs/runtime/nodejs-compat.mdx no longer says ReadStream extends the fs streams.
  • The destroy() test creates the PTY in the spawn call (terminal: {...}). A pre-made Bun.Terminal object does not make the child a session leader on the PTY, so /dev/tty fails with ENXIO there. That is a separate bug in Bun.spawn, reported on its own.
  • test/js/node/readline/run-with-pty.py had a 3 s alarm for the whole flow; a debug build now loads node:net for a TTY stdin and needs more. It is 20 s.
  • Failing locally both before and after this change, so unrelated: test/js/node/process/stdin/stdin-fixtures.test.ts (1 s auto-kill vs 1.2 s debug startup), test/js/node/net ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1 tests (container localhost resolution), child_process "extra stdio pipes are not double-closed on GC" (20 debug spawns in 5 s).

no test proof · iteration 14 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/regression/issue/tui-app-tty-pattern.test.ts, test/js/node/tty.test.ts, test/js/node/nodettywrap.test.ts

A case to check against this branch, from a fuzz ledger (item 20061). On 1.4.3 the process stays alive after destroy() until the user presses Enter, and that line is consumed by the destroyed stream. Node exits at once and leaves the line in the pty input queue.

const fs = require('fs'), tty = require('tty');
const input = new tty.ReadStream(fs.openSync('/dev/tty', 'r'));
input.on('data', d => console.error('data', String(d)));
setTimeout(() => { input.destroy(); console.error('destroyed'); }, 300);

Run it in a terminal. The cause on main is that tty.ReadStream is an fs.ReadStream, so the read is a blocking read(2) on a pool thread that nothing can cancel. A handle whose close() unregisters the poll, as this PR describes, should cover it. A test for it under Bun.Terminal would lock that in: destroy with no input, expect close and exit 0, then a second process on the same terminal still receives the line typed after the destroy. Also relevant: Node leaves the caller's fd open after destroy() when the reopen by ttyname succeeded (libuv closes only its own reopened fd).

…erly in node:tty

Object.getPrototypeOf(tty.ReadStream) must be net.Socket as soon as node:tty
loads (Node's test-net-access-byteswritten reads it), so the lazy prototype
chain goes. A TTY process.stdout now takes WriteStream from the internal
module and does not load node:net.
…gh the kernel on macOS, honour onread on a stream-wrap socket

- on_reader_done/on_reader_error touch only Cell fields and release the
  reader's ref once; close() tears the reader down, as in Terminal.rs.
- A chunk allocation failure goes through handle_oom instead of dropping
  the bytes.
- On macOS the /dev/tty alias resolves to the controlling terminal's
  /dev/ttysNNN device through sysctl, so a process whose stdio are all
  pipes can still read it.
- net.Socket over a stream-wrap handle delivers to the onread option,
  starts the flow at construction unless manualStart, and keeps its
  JS-side bytesWritten across destroy().
- ERR_INVALID_FD uses Node's message. Drop the unused Bun__ttyStateSize.
…liver it after

The reader can report an error synchronously from inside readStart()'s
watch() (a refused poll registration). onread then runs JS, which may call
readStop() or close() and borrow the reader again. Every reader access now
goes through with_reader(), which parks such a report and delivers it once
the borrow has ended.

Also: read this._handle once in Socket._destroy (oxlint), and wait on
output markers instead of fixed sleeps in the PTY tests.

CI on d70948d (build 112437): the tty suites pass on every lane. The one red test is test/js/node/test/parallel/test-crypto-dh-leak.js on the x64-asan lane, which is also red on main and does not touch this diff. The other entries passed on retry. Ready for review.

Heads-up from #42313 (approved, not merged yet). It turns net.Socket.prototype.bytesRead into a getter that reads this._handle.bytesRead, with no setter, as in node.

  • The builtins run in strict mode. self.bytesRead += nread in this PR's src/js/node/net.ts hunk throws TypeError on every read once node:net: count bytesRead on the native socket handle #42313 is on main.
  • The hunks do not overlap, so git does not flag it on a rebase.
  • The TTY handle here already has a native bytesRead getter. After a rebase, delete the JS increment: the new getter reads the handle.
