Conversation
Since #31830 every recursive fs.cp, fs.cpSync and fs.promises.cp goes through the node-ported JS walker. #32503 restored the native copy on macOS only. The walker copies one entry at a time and awaits several thread pool round trips for each, so fs.promises.cp of a 256-file tree went from 1.4 ms (v1.3.14) to 22 ms (v1.4.0) on Linux. The native copy is used again on every platform except Windows when the options are the defaults, the destination is missing or an empty directory, and a scan of the source finds only entries the native copy handles like node: regular files and directories, and on Linux also symlinks. Windows keeps the walker because the native copy there fails on paths longer than MAX_PATH. The native copy now matches the walker in the places it did not: - a directory it creates gets the source directory's mode, after its entries are copied - a relative symlink target that ends in a separator resolves without it - a file copy that fails reports `copyfile 'src' -> 'dest'` - entries with d_type DT_UNKNOWN (FUSE, NFS, bind mounts) are classified with lstat, so a directory is not copied as a file
`force: false`, `errorOnExist` and `mode` took the native copy in v1.3.14 and always take the walker since #31830. `force` and `errorOnExist` only matter for an entry that exists at the destination, and the native copy ignores `mode`, which changes the result only for COPYFILE_FICLONE_FORCE. The native copy is now also used with these options when they cannot matter: the destination is missing, or it is an empty directory and `errorOnExist` is not set without `force` (node rejects an existing destination directory then). A single file onto an existing file still needs `force`. COPYFILE_FICLONE_FORCE keeps the walker. The test covers fs.cp with a callback next to cpSync and promises.cp, and pins the two option sets that must stay on the walker.
…rallel The scan that decides if fs.promises.cp can take the native copy awaited one readdir per directory. On bun's src/ (564 directories) that is 19 ms, against 5 ms when a level is read in parallel. On the 16-directory benchmark tree it is 0.35 ms against 0.10 ms.

src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs— macOS users calling fs.cp or fs.promises.cp withforce: falseon a tree whose clonefile() fails with EACCES, EPERM or EINVAL now get an immediateclonefileerror with no files copied, where the base branch's walker copied the tree file by file. node_fs.rs:2005-2009 finishes the task on those errnos and never falls back to the per-file loop, even when force is set, unlike the sync twin at 8137. Fix: the async directory copy must fall back to the per-file path on the same errnos the sync path does, and the force:false case must fall back too; a fix at 8137 alone leaves this site. [also at: src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:8143 - macOS users callingfs.cpSyncwithforce: falseon a tree whoseclonefile()fails with EACCES or EPERM now get aclonefileerror where the base branch copied the tree file by file.]Extended reasoning...
The dismissing finder treated this as covered by the sync clonefile finding at 8143 and as pre-existing for default options.
The fix for 8143 is inside cp_sync_inner; cp_async_directory has its own match at 2004 that returns false on EACCES/EPERM/EINVAL/EROFS/ENAMETOOLONG with no force check at all, so that fix does not reach fs.cp or fs.promises.cp.
New population: on the base, fs.promises.cp with force:false went to the walker (old gate required force); now cp.ts:197 routes it native on darwin when the tree has only files and dirs.
Steps: fs.promises.cp(src, dest, { recursive: true, force: false }) on APFS; clonefile(2) returns EACCES or EPERM (e.g. a source dir the caller cannot read, an SIP-protected or sandboxed dest) or EINVAL; 2008 sets the result to the clonefile error with path = src root and no dest; the promise rejects before any file is written.
Base: walker copies every readable file and reports copyfile 'src' -> 'dest' for the failing entry, matching node.
Remedy: mirror 8137's force fallback in cp_async_directory and extend both sites to fall…Verification: normal — regression for macOS callers of

The newcp_entry_errorrewrite is applied only to tree entries; the non-directory root branches ofcp_sync_inner(node_fs.rs:8113return r) and the async task (node_fs.rs:1941) return the rawcopy_single_file_syncerror. Fix: route every native per-file failure, root or tree entry, sync and async, throughcp_entry_errorso all four sites report the same copyfile error with path and dest.Extended reasoning...
The PR description says the native copy now reports
copyfile 'src' -> 'dest'errors like the walker. That holds only for entries found while scanning a directory.fs.cpSync("secret.txt", "out.txt")with secret.txt mode 0o000 as a non-root user: fs.ts cpSync calls nativeHonorsOptions (true by default) then tryNativeFastPathSync, which returns ok because srcStat.isFile() and dest is missing. The native fs.cpSync enters cp_sync_inner; the!ISDIRbranch calls copy_single_file_sync and returnsrunchanged at node_fs.rs:8113. On Linux copy_single_file_sync fails atSyscall::open(src, RDONLY|NOFOLLOW)(node_fs.rs:8506) and returns that error as is: syscall open, path src, no dest. The async twin does the same at node_fs.rs:1919-1941 (this.finish_concurrently(r)). Node's walker calls copyFile and throws EACCES with syscall "copyfile", path and dest. The base branch already took the native path for this case, so this is pre-existing, but it is the sibling site of the fix this PR adds in cp_entry_error and the tree-entry arms at node_fs.rs:1512-1516 and 8242-8247.Verification: nit (pre-existing on the default-options route; a small widening for option sets the new gate newly sends native).

src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs— Linux users on btrfs/XFS who copy a file onto an existing larger file get a destination that still ends with the old file's bytes, or is entirely the old file when the source is empty. node_fs.rs:8542-8548 opens dest without O_TRUNC, calls FICLONE and returns before the ftruncate guard at 8555. The JS gate at cp.ts:208 and cp-sync.ts:345 sends every force + existing-file copy here, and this PR addsmode: COPYFILE_FICLONErequests to that population. Fix: truncate dest before or after a successful clone on every clone site (8547, the same block in copy_file at node_fs.rs:5064, and the FICLONE_FORCE arm at 5046), matching node, which unlinks dest first.Extended reasoning...
The kernel FICLONE ioctl with length 0 clones up to the source EOF and only extends the destination's i_size; it never shrinks it (btrfs clone_finish_inode_update, xfs_reflink_update_dest).
With an empty source, generic_remap_file_range_prep returns 0 immediately and the ioctl reports success without touching dest.
So fs.cpSync('empty.txt', 'existing.txt') on btrfs returns success and existing.txt keeps its old content.
A 4096-byte source over an 8192-byte dest leaves bytes 4096-8191 of the old file in place; a non-block-aligned source gets EINVAL and falls back to copy_file_range plus ftruncate, so only aligned sizes and empty sources corrupt.
Trigger: default options (force true), dest is an existing regular file; cp.ts:208 / cp-sync.ts:345 route this to native; copy_single_file_sync opens dest with O_CREAT|O_WRONLY (8532), FICLONE succeeds at 8543, returns at 8547 before the truncate guard at 8555 is armed.

The new cp_entry_error rewrite is applied only to entries inside a tree; the top-level single-file branches at node_fs.rs:8112 (return r) and node_fs.rs:1940 (this.finish_concurrently(r)) return the raw open/fstat error. Fix: route both single-file sites through cp_entry_error (skipping it when IS_SHELL, as the subtask does) so every non-link failure of the native copy reportscopyfilewithpathanddest, covering the 2 sites. The widened gate now sendsforce: false,errorOnExistandmodesingle-file copies down this path too.Extended reasoning...
The walker copies a single file with fs.copyFile, and NodeFS::copy_file (node_fs.rs:4778) rewrites every failure into syscall copyfile with path and dest, matching node. The native single-file path does not. On Linux copy_single_file_sync opens the source with Syscall::open (node_fs.rs:8505); on EACCES it returns the open error with only the source path (
return Err(err)at node_fs.rs:8513). cp_sync's non-directory branch returns that error unchanged at node_fs.rs:8112. The async run's non-directory branch passes it to finish_concurrently unchanged at node_fs.rs:1940. Only CpSingleTask (node_fs.rs:1516) and the cp_sync_inner loop (node_fs.rs:8246) call cp_entry_error. Trigger: as a non-root user, chmod a file to 0o000 and call fs.cpSync(file, dest) or await fs.promises.cp(file, dest) with default options (or with force: false, errorOnExist, or mode, which the base sent to the walker and this PR now sends native).

…s like it - A tree deeper than 64 levels takes the walker. The native copy recurses once per directory level with a readdir buffer in each frame, and a 600-level tree overflowed the 4 MB pool thread stack. - A single file onto an existing file takes the native copy only with the default options, as before. node unlinks the destination first and the native copy overwrites it in place. - macOS: when clonefile() of a tree fails with EACCES or EPERM, the copy goes entry by entry. The sync copy already did that with `force`. The async copy did not, and `force: false` now reaches both. - A failed copy of a single file reports `copyfile 'src' -> 'dest'` like a tree entry. An entry that cannot be reached reports the lstat error, as node does. A failed symlink reports the target and the link, like fs.symlink. - The mode of a created directory is best effort, like the mode of a copied file: exFAT and some network mounts refuse chmod.

I re-reviewed the latest push (c181818 plus the merge of main) and found no new bugs; the points from my earlier review are addressed in the code, but since this widens a native fast path that runs on the thread pool for every Linux fs.cp tree copy, a human look is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- The
kNativeMaxDepthbail-out, the best-effortcp_chmod_created_dir,cp_create_symlink'spath/destshape, andcp_entry_error'slstat-first check against the earlier findings; each has a test intest/js/node/fs/cp.test.ts. created_dirs: pushed underGuardedfrom the scan thread, drained only by the laston_subtask_doneon the success path, so no chmod races a subtask still writing into the directory.cp_entry_erroron a pool thread uses the task-localNodeFSandBox<[u8]>copies of the paths, so the reusedsync_error_bufis not aliased;S::IWUSR/kind_from_moderesolve on all targets.- The single-file gate is narrowed back to default options, so
errorOnExist/modecallers onto an existing file keep the walker.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR replaces the darwin-only gate for the native recursive fs.cp with a set of predicates (nativeHonorsOptions, nativeCopiesTrees, nativeResolvesSymlinks, kNativeMaxDepth) shared by cpSync, callback cp, and fs.promises.cp, and makes the Rust copy (src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs) reproduce the walker's observable results: source modes on created directories (sync at the end of cp_sync_inner, async via a Guarded<Vec<...>> drained deepest-first by the last on_subtask_done), copyfile 'src' -> 'dest' errors via cp_entry_error, path/dest on symlink failures, no trailing separator on resolved link targets, and an lstatat fallback for DT_UNKNOWN entries. The follow-up commit since my prior review adds the depth bail-out, makes the directory chmod best-effort, narrows the single-file existing-dest case to default options, and fixes the syscall reported for entries in an unsearchable directory.
Security risks
None specific to this change. The paths come from validated fs arguments, the native copy uses O_NOFOLLOW/CLONE_NOFOLLOW as before, and symlinks are recreated rather than dereferenced. The scan reads the source tree before the copy, so the usual TOCTOU window between scan and copy exists, but it did on the base branch for the darwin path too and the outcome is a walker-visible difference, not an escape.
Level of scrutiny
Moderate to high. Each of the three earlier inline findings was verified addressed by reading the new code rather than the description: nativeCanCopyTree(Sync) returns false past depth 64 and the test spawns a 70-deep tree; cp_chmod_created_dir discards the chmod result on both platforms; cp_create_symlink applies with_path_dest; cp_entry_error returns the lstat error first and leaves readlink/symlink errors untouched. The threading of created_dirs is sound (mutex-guarded pushes from the scan thread, one drain after subtask_count hits zero, and only on the success branch). I also checked that S::IWUSR and kind_from_mode are defined cross-platform in bun_core, and that the IS_SHELL branches leave the shell cp builtin's error and mode behaviour unchanged. What I could not do is run the Linux non-root permission tests or the FUSE test in this environment, and I did not measure the benchmark claims.
Other factors
The multi-agent hunt ran dry with no findings on this push. The tests cover the routing matrix across all three entry points in a fresh subprocess, the mode and error-shape cases, and the >64-directory scan batch. The change still removes the EACCES/EPERM abort after clonefile and deletes mkdir_recursive_os_path, and it puts every default-option Linux tree copy on a code path that previously only ran on macOS, so a maintainer familiar with NewAsyncCpTask should confirm the design choices (depth constant, best-effort chmod, the Windows exclusion) before merge.

Replies to the review findings that have no thread (pushed in c181818 and 9d7ed2e):

`os_path` returned `ZStr::EMPTY` for an empty path without writing the
buffer, and the native tree copy appends entry names to that buffer.
`fs.promises.cp(dir, "")` then copied to whatever the buffer held, for
example `/<entry>`. The walker rejects the same call with ENOENT from
mkdir(""), as node does. Linux takes the native copy again, so it needs
the fix that #37949 has for macOS: the same change to `os_path`, and the
same test.
Also adds a test that copies one tree with the default options and with a
`filter` (always the walker) and compares the two results.

The second of the two to land drops its copy of that hunk.The "same result" claim is against Bun's walker, which is a port of node's JS
cp. node's owncpSyncis native code and differs from its JScpin a few places (it does not set directory modes, and it resolves a link to a link). Bun'scpSyncfollows the JS rules there, before and after this PR.What stays on the walker: a tree deeper than 64 levels (the native copy recurses once per level on a 4 MB pool thread, and a 600-level tree overflowed it), a single file onto an existing file unless the options are the defaults (as on main), a destination that exists and is not empty,
filter,dereference,preserveTimestamps,verbatimSymlinks,COPYFILE_FICLONE_FORCE,errorOnExistwithoutforceonto an existing directory, special files, symlinks on macOS, every tree on Windows. The option cases took the walker in v1.3.14 too. The merge into a destination that is not empty and the two platform cases did not.The rest of the gap to v1.3.14 is the node validation (
checkPaths,checkParentPaths) and the JS scan of the source tree. The scan reads one level of the tree at a time, 64 directories in parallel: 0.10 ms instead of 0.35 ms on the benchmark tree, 5 ms instead of 19 ms on bun'ssrc/(564 directories). A native scan would remove most of the rest. It needs a way for the native task to report "not eligible", so it is not part of this PR.Options: I ran 30 combinations of option set (
force: false,errorOnExistwith and withoutforce,COPYFILE_EXCL,COPYFILE_FICLONE, both) and destination (missing, empty directory, directory to merge into, missing file, existing file) throughfs.promises.cpandfs.cpSync. The results and error codes are the same as with the walker in bun 1.4.2, andfs.promises.cpmatches node v26.3.0. The native copy receiveserrorOnExist && !force, because node ignoreserrorOnExistwhenforceis set.Symlinks: I copied a tree with 17 kinds of link (relative, absolute, dangling,
.,..,./x,a//b,a/../b, trailing/, link to a link, links in subdirectories) with four spellings of the source path. The native copy, the walker and node v26.3.0fs.promises.cpgive the same targets, after the trailing separator fix. node'scpSyncis native code and resolves two of these differently from its ownfs.promises.cp(a link to a link, and an absolute target that is not normalized). Bun'scpSyncfollows the JS rules there, before and after this PR.Errors: as a user that is not root, an unreadable file (alone or in a tree) rejects with
EACCES,syscall: "copyfile",pathanddest, the same as the walker and node. Before the change the native copy reportedsyscall: "open". A file in a directory without search permission rejects with thelstaterror, as node does. A failedsymlinkreports the target aspathand the link asdest, likefs.symlink.macOS: when
clonefile()of a tree fails withEACCESorEPERM, the copy now goes entry by entry in the async copy too. The sync copy already did that whenforcewas set. I could not run this on macOS.The

recursive cp takes the JS walker only when the native copy can differ from nodeblock counts the walker'scopyFilecalls in a fresh process, forcpSync,fs.cpwith a callback andfs.promises.cp. It is the part that fails without the change. With the JS change and without the Rust change, 6 of the other new tests and the existing mode test fail. The test for an unreadable file needs a user that is not root. The FUSE test (glob-on-fuse.test.ts) needs/dev/fuse, so I could not run it in my container. It copies a FUSE tree with a subdirectory, which fails without theDT_UNKNOWNchange because the directory is copied as a file.The shell
