Problem

  • Bun.spawn({ stdin: stream }) with a stream that cannot be pumped (locked by getReader()/tee(), errored in start(), or a first chunk that is not bytes) returns a Subprocess. The child reads EOF and exits 0. The reason (TypeError: Invalid state: ReadableStream is locked, ...) then escapes as an unhandled rejection, outside any try/catch, and the process exits 1.
  • Cause: Stdio::extract (src/runtime/api/bun/spawn/stdio.rs:544) checks only is_disturbed, so a locked stream passes. The pump (readStreamIntoSink, BunStreamSource.cpp:1247) rejects its promise before it returns, and FileSink::assign_to_stream (FileSink.rs:1744) handed that promise to nobody.

Fix

  • Locked: Stdio::extract and extract_body_value also check is_locked and throw ERR_INVALID_STATE before the fork. The caller's stream is not cancelled. Carried over from spawn: throw synchronously when the stdin ReadableStream is locked #38421.
  • Other cases: assign_to_stream marks the rejected pump promise handled. After watch(), spawn_maybe_sync clears the onExit/onDisconnect/ipc callbacks, kills the child, and throws the reason. The exit handler reaps it.
  • Rule: a pump failure known before Bun.spawn returns throws from it. A later failure stays async (spawn: surface stdin ReadableStream producer errors via onExit / unhandledRejection #36236).
  • Verified: spawn-stdin-readable-stream.test.ts (6 locked cases), spawn-stdin-readable-stream-edge-cases.test.ts (7 cases). All 13 fail on bun 1.4.3. Also spawn.test.ts and the spawn-stdin* suites.

Background

  • A stdin ReadableStream is pumped by a FileSink on the child's stdin pipe. assign_to_stream starts the JS pump, which returns a promise that settles when it ends.
  • Locked is not disturbed: getReader() locks, only a read or a cancel disturbs. The pump's reader acquisition throws exactly when is_locked.
  • set_handled() sets the flag that handleRejectedPromises checks before it reports a rejection.
Notes
  • Repro on bun 1.4.2, 1.4.3-canary and main: child saw 0 exited 0, script end reached, then the TypeError banner (Invalid state: ReadableStream is locked, the error() reason, or write() expects a string, ArrayBufferView, or ArrayBuffer) and exit code 1. For the locked case the lock holder also read { done: true } because the failed pump's teardown cancelled the stream, and a second spawn with the same stream reported 'stdin' ReadableStream has already been used. With this change: caught ... ReadableStream is locked, exit code 0, the lock holder still reads its chunk, and a spawn after releaseLock() delivers the data.
  • spawn: throw synchronously when the stdin ReadableStream is locked #38421 (same locked bug, pre-fork check only) is closed in favor of this PR. Its stdio.rs check and its five tests were carried over here unchanged, plus one test for a second spawn after releaseLock(). The locked entry in the kill-and-reap table of the edge-cases file was replaced by an errored-in-start() entry, since a locked stream no longer forks.
  • Locked-case tests: getReader() and tee() (both stdin: and stdio: forms, the lock holder still receives the data), Response and Request with a locked body stream (ReadableStream is locked), a child process that shows the error is catchable and the exit code stays 0, and the second spawn after releaseLock().
  • Edge-case tests: errored-in-start() and non-byte chunk throw from Bun.spawn; none of locked/errored/bad-chunk reaches the unhandled rejection handler; errored-in-start(), non-byte chunk and a direct stream whose pull() throws each kill and reap the sleep child (checked with ps) without calling onExit; socket-fd descriptors close (Linux, /proc/self/fd).
  • promise.set_handled() sets the isHandled flag that handleRejectedPromises (ZigGlobalObject.cpp:3282) checks. Process::kill is a no-op while the poller is Detached, which is the state until watch() runs, so the post-fork throw cannot happen earlier. The first revision returned Err from assign_to_stream and went through the Writable::init error arm. Review pointed out that this left the child running and unreaped (one zombie per failed spawn), because that arm detaches the child. The current revision keeps the child watched, kills it with kill_signal, and has a test that lists children with ps until none are left.
  • On bun 1.4.2 the direct-stream pull() throw case already throws from Bun.spawn, but the child keeps running (the Writable::init arm). That case now kills and reaps too: a pump that throws at creation is wrapped in a handled rejected promise and tears the sink down through handle_reject_stream.
  • Review also caught that the throw first sat below the block that downgrades socket-fd slots to UnownedFd, so the parent-side socket leaked. It now sits above that block. On the previous commit 8 descriptors stayed open for the full test deadline, with the fix they close in under 100 ms.
  • Overlap with spawn: surface stdin ReadableStream producer errors via onExit / unhandledRejection #36236 (same Rejected arm, routes the sync case through onExit): with no onExit handler that still ends in an unhandled rejection, so a sync throw is the only outlet a caller can catch. Whichever PR lands second needs a small rebase.
  • Separate message for the locked case mirrors the stream consumers (createLockedError vs createAlreadyUsedError in BunStreamConsumers.cpp). The disturbed check runs first, so a stream that is being consumed keeps its existing message. Native-backed streams (Blob, file, fetch body) take the to_any_blob / is_disturbed paths before the lock check, as before.
  • Self-review of the pre-fork check: ReadableStream__isLocked is a pure type test (dynamicDowncast plus isReadableStreamLocked, no user JS, no exception). Body::to_readable_stream never hands back a stream that is locked by construction: a pending native body (locked_to_native_stream) and an errored or blob body create a fresh stream, so only a body stream the caller locked is rejected. The same is_disturbed || is_locked pair already guards fetch bodies, Blob writers, HTMLRewriter and Body extraction. No concerns left open.
  • The existing "spawn options variations" test ran three debug-build children in sequence and sat at the 5 s budget under ASAN. It now runs them at once.
  • Windows arm of Writable::init updated the same way. cargo check -p bun_runtime --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc passes.

no test proof · iteration 3 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-stdin-readable-stream-edge-cases.test.ts

…before it returns

Bun.spawn({stdin: stream}) accepted a locked ReadableStream, a stream
that errored in start(), and a stream whose first chunks were not bytes.
The pump promise behind the stdin FileSink rejected before spawn
returned. Nothing held that promise, so the child got EOF, exited 0, and
the rejection escaped as an unhandled rejection after the script ended.

FileSink::assign_to_stream now returns JsResult. When the pump promise
is already rejected it marks it handled, tears the sink down, and throws
the rejection reason, so Bun.spawn throws synchronously.

Status: ready for review. The diff is complete at 0a628ab.

Reproduced on bun 1.4.2, 1.4.3-canary and main (Linux x64) with three stdin streams: locked via getReader(), controller.error() in start(), and a non-byte chunk after a valid one. In every case Bun.spawn returned a Subprocess, the child read EOF and exited 0, the script ran to the end, then the reason was reported as an unhandled rejection and the process exited 1. For the locked case the lock holder also read { done: true }, because the failed pump cancelled the stream.

With this change Bun.spawn throws synchronously. A locked stream is rejected in Stdio::extract before the child is forked, and the caller's stream is left untouched (carried over from #38421, which is closed in favor of this PR). The other cases throw the pump's rejection reason, kill the child with kill_signal, and the exit handler reaps it. The 13 new cases in test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-stdin-readable-stream.test.ts (6) and test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-stdin-readable-stream-edge-cases.test.ts (7) fail on bun 1.4.3 and pass with bun bd test. The neighbouring spawn stdin suites and spawn.test.ts pass with the debug build.

CI (build 111782 at 0a628ab): both spawn stdin test files pass on every lane. The four red jobs are unrelated to this diff: the binary-size check (same deltas on neighbouring PR builds), test-crypto-dh-leak.js on x64-asan and test_object/do.test.ts on ubuntu aarch64 (both pre-existing on main, reported to triage), and websocket-client.test.ts in the parallel batch on darwin x64.

Overlap: #36236 changes the same Rejected arm for the async producer error path. Whichever lands second needs a small rebase.

Throw after the Subprocess is fully wired and watched, then kill the
child with the configured signal. The exit handler reaps it. Clear the
onExit, onDisconnect and ipc callbacks first, since the caller never
receives this Subprocess.

…-reap path

A direct stream whose pull() throws made JSSink::assign_to_stream return
an exception. That went through the Writable::init error arm, which
detaches the child without a kill. Wrap the exception in a handled
rejected promise so spawn kills and reaps the child like the other
pump failures.

Kill and reap the child for direct stdin setup errors.

When JSSink::assign_to_stream returns this error, Writable::init exits before set_exit_handler and watch. Its existing cleanup path calls process.detach() without killing the child. A command such as sleep 5 can continue after Bun.spawn throws. Route this failure through cleanup that sends subprocess.kill_signal and reaps the child. Add a locked-stream cleanup regression test.

The zombie concern from the earlier review is addressed: the throw now happens post-watch() so try_kill works and the child is reaped, and the new ps-polling test covers it. Beyond the inline finding, I also checked whether the handle_reject_stream(...)? at FileSink.rs:1753 can re-open the pre-watch Err path via a throwing cancel() — an already-errored stream's cancel is not invoked, so it does not.

Extended reasoning...

The new commit reworked the fix in response to the prior review: assign_to_stream now returns the rejected promise as Ok (marked handled, sink torn down) rather than throwing, and spawn_maybe_sync checks it after watch() has run, kills the child, clears the callback slots, and throws. This resolves the earlier zombie-leak objection and adds a test that polls ps for reaping. The remaining inline finding covers the socket-fd downgrade invariant that the new post-watch return Err now sits below; nothing further to add in the body.

…andoff

The throw sat below the block that downgrades 'socket-fd' slots to
UnownedFd on the assumption that the caller receives the Subprocess.
The caller never did, so finalize_streams skipped the slot and the
parent-side socket leaked. Throw before that block.

Code review found no issues

No high-confidence issues detected in this change.

A locked stream can never be pumped: the pump's reader acquisition
throws on the same predicate is_locked reports. Check it next to the
existing is_disturbed check in Stdio::extract and
Stdio::extract_body_value, so Bun.spawn throws ERR_INVALID_STATE
before fork and leaves the caller's stream untouched. The lock holder
can still read it, and a later spawn with the same stream works once
the lock is released.

Carried over from #38421. The post-fork kill-and-reap path still
covers streams that fail inside the pump (errored in start(), non-byte
chunk, direct pull() that throws).

### Problem

- `Bun.serve()` sends a second `Response` around an already sent
`ReadableStream` as a `200` with an empty body. The `error` handler does
not run.
- A native sink consumer (`Bun.serve()`, a `fetch()` upload,
`Bun.write()`, `Bun.spawn()` stdin, S3, `HTMLRewriter`) pumps a
JS-backed stream in `BunStreamSource.cpp`. At the end `rsisFinally`
(`:853`) releases the reader and `directStreamOnClose` (`:662`) drops
the lock: `locked === false`. A `type: "direct"` stream, so every async
iterable body, is not disturbed either. `RequestContext.rs:3152` checks
the lock alone.
- Found by a comparison with node v26.3.0, not by a user report.

### Fix

- `rsisBegin` and `readDirectStream` call the new
`JSReadableStream::markConsumedAsBody()` once the pump holds the stream.
The stream stays locked after the pump lets go.
- Behaviour change: after such a consumer took a stream, `getReader()`,
`tee()`, `pipeTo()` and `cancel()` fail with a `TypeError`. Body mixin
methods (#42116) and natively wired sinks (#42477) already do this.
Neither is released.
- `pipeTo()`, async iteration and `Bun.readableStreamTo*()` do not reach
these pumps and still unlock.
- Verified: `web-stream-state.test.ts` (30 new tests fail on main),
`body.test.ts` (12), `serve-reused-response.test.ts` (2). Self-reviewed:
3 concerns, 2 addressed, 1 out of scope (Notes).

### Background

- A JSSink is a native sink (`HTTPResponseSink`, `FileSink`).
`JSSink::assign_to_stream` pumps a stream into it.
- `readStreamIntoSink` reads through a default reader.
`readDirectStream` gives the sink to the `pull()` of a direct stream.
- `m_consumedAsBody` (#42116) is a bit that `isReadableStreamLocked()`
includes and nothing clears. The fetch spec never releases the reader of
a body.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**The rule.** A consumer that takes a stream as a body keeps it locked:
the body mixin methods (#42116), `to_any_blob` lifts (#42516), natively
wired `ByteStream`/`FileReader` sinks (#42477), and now the two pumps. A
reader at the stream level releases its lock as the Streams spec says.
Checked on this branch: `pipeTo()`, `pipeThrough()`, `for await`,
`getReader()` + `releaseLock()`, `Bun.readableStreamToText()`,
`Bun.readableStreamToArrayBuffer()`, `stream.text()`, `stream.bytes()`,
`stream.json()`, `stream.blob()` all end with `locked === false`.

**Scope of the pumps.** `readStreamIntoSink` and `readDirectStream` have
one caller, `assignToStream`, which only
`JSSinkController__assignToStream` calls (Rust
`JSSink::assign_to_stream`: `HTTPResponseSink` and its TLS and HTTP/3
siblings, `FetchRequestBodySink`, `NetworkSink`, `FileSink`,
`RewriterPipe`).

**State on main.** The lock state after the hand-off depends on how the
pump ended. A clean end and a sink that closes early (client gone,
aborted upload, child exited) go through `rsisFinish` and release the
reader one microtask after the stream closes. A producer error goes
through `rsisAbrupt`, which orphans the reader, so that stream stays
locked. A direct stream is never disturbed.

**Repro (the user-visible part).**

```js
const stream = new ReadableStream({ start(c) { c.enqueue(new TextEncoder().encode("payload")); c.close(); } });
const responses = [new Response(stream), new Response(stream)];
await using server = Bun.serve({ port: 0, fetch: () => responses.shift(), error: e => new Response(e.code, { status: 500 }) });
for (let i = 0; i < 2; i++) { const r = await fetch(server.url); console.log(r.status, JSON.stringify(await r.text())); }
// main:   200 "payload", 200 ""
// branch: 200 "payload", 500 "ERR_STREAM_CANNOT_PIPE"   (Stream already used, please create a new one)
```

For a direct stream `new Response(stream)` per request shows the same on
main: `200 "hello"`, `200 ""`, `500`. On this branch the second `new
Response(stream)` throws `Body object should not be disturbed or
locked`.

**Other observable changes.** `request.bodyUsed` after `fetch(request)`
with an async iterable body is now `true` (was `false`, the stream was
not disturbed). `Bun.readableStreamToText(stream)` on a stream a sink
holds rejects with "ReadableStream has already been used" in place of
"ReadableStream is locked" (same `ERR_INVALID_STATE`).

**Bare streams.** `fetch(url, { body: stream })`, `Bun.write(path,
stream)` and `Bun.spawn({ stdin: stream })` keep a bare stream locked
too. Natively wired sources already do this for the same calls
(`ReadableStream__lockNative` never unlocks, see "errors a Bun.file()
stream whose file does not open" from #42477).

**node v26.3.0.** `fetch(url, { method: "POST", body: jsStream, duplex:
"half" })`: afterwards `locked === true` and `getReader()` throws. The
same after an upload that an `AbortSignal` stopped. The other five
consumers are Bun APIs with no Node counterpart.

**The mark comes after the reader acquisition.** A stream that another
reader already holds is not marked. `Bun.serve()`, `fetch()`,
`Bun.write()` and `HTMLRewriter` reject such a stream before the pump.
`Bun.spawn()` stdin checks only `is_disturbed` (`stdio.rs:388`, `:536`),
so a locked stream reaches the pump there.

**Out of scope (the concern not addressed).** `rsisFinally` calls
`clearStreamControllerSlots` also when the pump never got the lock.
`Bun.spawn({ stdin: stream })` with a stream the caller holds through
`getReader()` reaches that: the caller's `reader.read()` then never
settles. This is the same on main and on this branch. #41532 rejects a
locked stdin stream before the pump.

**Not covered here.**
- A handler that drains or partly reads a stream with its own reader,
releases it, and then returns it in a `Response` still gets a `200` with
the empty or remaining body. #36110 covers that gate.
- Handing the same Node `Readable` or generator object to a second
consumer makes a new stream each time.

**Changed tests.** Three tests in `bun-write.test.js` (from #42114) read
the terminal state through `stream.getReader().closed`. One test in
`streams.test.js` (from #33781) polled `ts.readable.locked` to wait for
the sink teardown. Both observed the unlock as a means, not as the
subject. They use `finished()` from `node:stream/promises` now. The
`streams.test.js` test still proves the teardown ran: `desiredSize`
reads `null` only after the controller slot is cleared, and reads `0`
for a stream that is only closed.

**Fail before.** With `src/` from main and `bun bd`:
`web-stream-state.test.ts` 30 of 46 fail, `body.test.ts` 12 of 778 fail,
`serve-reused-response.test.ts` 2 of 9 fail, and the three
`bun-write.test.js` tests fail on the new `locked` assertion. With this
branch all pass. On main only the `Bun.serve()` row of "the stdout of a
running child" fails: the other four consumers wire a pipe-backed
`FileReader` natively.

**Built-in JS.** I searched `src/js` for code that touches a stream
after a native sink took it. The only `stream.cancel()` on a web stream
is `ReadableFromWeb._destroy`, which #42573 handles for the body mixin
case.

**Earlier reports of the same class.** #7001 (fixed in #7861) and #6860.

### Problem

- `Bun.serve()` sends a second `Response` around an already sent
`ReadableStream` as a `200` with an empty body. The `error` handler does
not run.
- A native sink consumer (`Bun.serve()`, a `fetch()` upload,
`Bun.write()`, `Bun.spawn()` stdin, S3, `HTMLRewriter`) pumps a
JS-backed stream in `BunStreamSource.cpp`. At the end `rsisFinally`
(`:853`) releases the reader and `directStreamOnClose` (`:662`) drops
the lock: `locked === false`. A `type: "direct"` stream, so every async
iterable body, is not disturbed either. `RequestContext.rs:3152` checks
the lock alone.
- Found by a comparison with node v26.3.0, not by a user report.

### Fix

- `rsisBegin` and `readDirectStream` call the new
`JSReadableStream::markConsumedAsBody()` once the pump holds the stream.
The stream stays locked after the pump lets go.
- Behaviour change: after such a consumer took a stream, `getReader()`,
`tee()`, `pipeTo()` and `cancel()` fail with a `TypeError`. Body mixin
methods (oven-sh#42116) and natively wired sinks (oven-sh#42477) already do this.
Neither is released.
- `pipeTo()`, async iteration and `Bun.readableStreamTo*()` do not reach
these pumps and still unlock.
- Verified: `web-stream-state.test.ts` (30 new tests fail on main),
`body.test.ts` (12), `serve-reused-response.test.ts` (2). Self-reviewed:
3 concerns, 2 addressed, 1 out of scope (Notes).

### Background

- A JSSink is a native sink (`HTTPResponseSink`, `FileSink`).
`JSSink::assign_to_stream` pumps a stream into it.
- `readStreamIntoSink` reads through a default reader.
`readDirectStream` gives the sink to the `pull()` of a direct stream.
- `m_consumedAsBody` (oven-sh#42116) is a bit that `isReadableStreamLocked()`
includes and nothing clears. The fetch spec never releases the reader of
a body.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**The rule.** A consumer that takes a stream as a body keeps it locked:
the body mixin methods (oven-sh#42116), `to_any_blob` lifts (oven-sh#42516), natively
wired `ByteStream`/`FileReader` sinks (oven-sh#42477), and now the two pumps. A
reader at the stream level releases its lock as the Streams spec says.
Checked on this branch: `pipeTo()`, `pipeThrough()`, `for await`,
`getReader()` + `releaseLock()`, `Bun.readableStreamToText()`,
`Bun.readableStreamToArrayBuffer()`, `stream.text()`, `stream.bytes()`,
`stream.json()`, `stream.blob()` all end with `locked === false`.

**Scope of the pumps.** `readStreamIntoSink` and `readDirectStream` have
one caller, `assignToStream`, which only
`JSSinkController__assignToStream` calls (Rust
`JSSink::assign_to_stream`: `HTTPResponseSink` and its TLS and HTTP/3
siblings, `FetchRequestBodySink`, `NetworkSink`, `FileSink`,
`RewriterPipe`).

**State on main.** The lock state after the hand-off depends on how the
pump ended. A clean end and a sink that closes early (client gone,
aborted upload, child exited) go through `rsisFinish` and release the
reader one microtask after the stream closes. A producer error goes
through `rsisAbrupt`, which orphans the reader, so that stream stays
locked. A direct stream is never disturbed.

**Repro (the user-visible part).**

```js
const stream = new ReadableStream({ start(c) { c.enqueue(new TextEncoder().encode("payload")); c.close(); } });
const responses = [new Response(stream), new Response(stream)];
await using server = Bun.serve({ port: 0, fetch: () => responses.shift(), error: e => new Response(e.code, { status: 500 }) });
for (let i = 0; i < 2; i++) { const r = await fetch(server.url); console.log(r.status, JSON.stringify(await r.text())); }
// main:   200 "payload", 200 ""
// branch: 200 "payload", 500 "ERR_STREAM_CANNOT_PIPE"   (Stream already used, please create a new one)
```

For a direct stream `new Response(stream)` per request shows the same on
main: `200 "hello"`, `200 ""`, `500`. On this branch the second `new
Response(stream)` throws `Body object should not be disturbed or
locked`.

**Other observable changes.** `request.bodyUsed` after `fetch(request)`
with an async iterable body is now `true` (was `false`, the stream was
not disturbed). `Bun.readableStreamToText(stream)` on a stream a sink
holds rejects with "ReadableStream has already been used" in place of
"ReadableStream is locked" (same `ERR_INVALID_STATE`).

**Bare streams.** `fetch(url, { body: stream })`, `Bun.write(path,
stream)` and `Bun.spawn({ stdin: stream })` keep a bare stream locked
too. Natively wired sources already do this for the same calls
(`ReadableStream__lockNative` never unlocks, see "errors a Bun.file()
stream whose file does not open" from oven-sh#42477).

**node v26.3.0.** `fetch(url, { method: "POST", body: jsStream, duplex:
"half" })`: afterwards `locked === true` and `getReader()` throws. The
same after an upload that an `AbortSignal` stopped. The other five
consumers are Bun APIs with no Node counterpart.

**The mark comes after the reader acquisition.** A stream that another
reader already holds is not marked. `Bun.serve()`, `fetch()`,
`Bun.write()` and `HTMLRewriter` reject such a stream before the pump.
`Bun.spawn()` stdin checks only `is_disturbed` (`stdio.rs:388`, `:536`),
so a locked stream reaches the pump there.

**Out of scope (the concern not addressed).** `rsisFinally` calls
`clearStreamControllerSlots` also when the pump never got the lock.
`Bun.spawn({ stdin: stream })` with a stream the caller holds through
`getReader()` reaches that: the caller's `reader.read()` then never
settles. This is the same on main and on this branch. oven-sh#41532 rejects a
locked stdin stream before the pump.

**Not covered here.**
- A handler that drains or partly reads a stream with its own reader,
releases it, and then returns it in a `Response` still gets a `200` with
the empty or remaining body. oven-sh#36110 covers that gate.
- Handing the same Node `Readable` or generator object to a second
consumer makes a new stream each time.

**Changed tests.** Three tests in `bun-write.test.js` (from oven-sh#42114) read
the terminal state through `stream.getReader().closed`. One test in
`streams.test.js` (from oven-sh#33781) polled `ts.readable.locked` to wait for
the sink teardown. Both observed the unlock as a means, not as the
subject. They use `finished()` from `node:stream/promises` now. The
`streams.test.js` test still proves the teardown ran: `desiredSize`
reads `null` only after the controller slot is cleared, and reads `0`
for a stream that is only closed.

**Fail before.** With `src/` from main and `bun bd`:
`web-stream-state.test.ts` 30 of 46 fail, `body.test.ts` 12 of 778 fail,
`serve-reused-response.test.ts` 2 of 9 fail, and the three
`bun-write.test.js` tests fail on the new `locked` assertion. With this
branch all pass. On main only the `Bun.serve()` row of "the stdout of a
running child" fails: the other four consumers wire a pipe-backed
`FileReader` natively.

**Built-in JS.** I searched `src/js` for code that touches a stream
after a native sink took it. The only `stream.cancel()` on a web stream
is `ReadableFromWeb._destroy`, which oven-sh#42573 handles for the body mixin
case.

**Earlier reports of the same class.** oven-sh#7001 (fixed in oven-sh#7861) and oven-sh#6860.
