Open each regular file entry with O_EXCL. On EEXIST remove the old name and open again, as GNU tar does. Writing into the old inode with O_TRUNC reached every other name linked to it, failed on a read-only file, and kept the old mode.

…entry mode for Bun.Archive When unlinkat is refused (a parent the user cannot write, a mount point) the entry is written into the existing file as before. Bun.Archive#extract() without a glob created every file with (perm & 0o777) | 0o666, the npm fmode rule. Now both extract paths create a file with the mode of the entry. The | 0o666 floor stays for bun install, bun create and the --compile download through FileReaders::Everyone. bun create's conflict check now stats the existing file instead of opening it for writing, so a read-only file is reported before it is replaced.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the new fstatat conflict probe in get_overwriting_file_list (src/libarchive/lib.rs:1389-1408): the unsafe ZStr::from_raw is sound because the pathname.len() >= normalized_buf.len() guard at line 1381 leaves room for the NUL written at normalized_buf[normalized_len], and the st_size > 0 check preserves the old "non-empty file" semantics. The remaining gap there is only that a dangling or empty-target symlink matching a template name is not listed as a conflict and gets replaced without --force — a nit, not a blocker.
Extended reasoning...
This run's third pass on the PR examined the pieces changed since the last review: the unlinkat-refused fallback in create_entry_file, the FileReaders/file_mode split, and the fstatat-based conflict probe for bun create. The fstatat probe's NUL-terminator write is bounds-safe (guarded by the existing pathname.len() >= normalized_buf.len() skip), and the old O_WRONLY+get_file_size check is behavior-preserved for regular files while now also catching read-only and foreign-owned files, which is the intended fix. The symlinked-parent concern is pre-existing and already acknowledged by the author as deferred to #41750. The one confirmed inline finding (sticky-directory fallback writing through a planted symlink via O_TRUNC) stands on its own; nothing here changes that.
When unlinkat is refused and the name is a symlink, O_NOFOLLOW makes the open fail instead of writing through the link.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the new normalized_buf[normalized_len] = 0 write in get_overwriting_file_list (src/libarchive/lib.rs:1394) — it is covered by the pathname.len() >= normalized_buf.len() guard at line 1386 and normalization never grows the path, matching the existing pattern in extract_to_dir; and the openat(O_WRONLY) → fstatat swap keeps the same symlink-following behavior for the conflict probe while now also reporting read-only files. The in-place fallback in create_entry_file now carries O_NOFOLLOW, which closes the sticky-directory symlink gap raised on the previous push.
Extended reasoning...
Findings are present, so this body is only the ruled-out note. The bounds of the new NUL write were verified against the length guard at src/libarchive/lib.rs:1386 (same shape as lines 1581/1596 in extract_to_dir), the fstatat replacement was checked to preserve the pre-check's semantics (it follows symlinks as the old openat did, and no longer misses 0444/foreign-owned files), and the latest push (88ffc17) adds O_NOFOLLOW to the O_TRUNC fallback that the prior review flagged. The remaining inline finding on the un-awaited .rejects in the no-glob symlink test still needs the author's attention, and Windows intentionally keeps O_TRUNC per the PR notes.
2 verified lower-impact observations (convention, logging or cleanup points) were not posted.

O_CREAT keeps the kernel's sticky directory checks (fs.protected_regular, fs.protected_fifos) on the open. O_NONBLOCK makes a FIFO fail with ENXIO instead of waiting for a reader.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline note, I also checked two things in this push and found them fine: the new ZStr::from_raw after normalized_buf[normalized_len] = 0 in Archiver::extract_to_dir (src/libarchive/lib.rs:1411-1428) is in bounds because the pathname.len() >= normalized_buf.len() guard at line 1403 already skips oversize entries, mirroring the existing pattern in extract_to_disk; and truncate_entry_file releases the fd on every early return via the scopeguard, with O_CREAT|O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK plus the is_regular_file && st_nlink == 1 check covering the sticky-dir, symlink, hard-link and FIFO cases raised on the previous revision.
Extended reasoning...
The latest commit (523972f) changed the in-place fallback to open with O_CREAT, O_NOFOLLOW and O_NONBLOCK and to refuse anything that is not a single-link regular file, which addresses the fallback concerns posted on the prior revision. The remaining posted finding is a CI-coverage nit (the locked-directory tests skip as root on Linux), so the PR is not approvable from this run, but the two refactor points most likely to hide a regression — the openat-to-fstatat swap with an unsafe ZStr construction, and the fd ownership across the fallback's error paths — were traced and hold. Windows paths intentionally keep O_TRUNC per the PR description.
Root bypasses the directory write check, so the in-place fallback never ran on Linux CI. As root on Linux the extraction now runs in a child dropped to nobody with runuser, as the resolve tests do.
No runuser wrapper, so the child is the process the test owns, and the cases run as root on every POSIX lane.
…s root Ancestors of the temp dir get o+x so nobody reaches the fixture under a 0700 TMPDIR. A negative nobody uid (macOS) or an unreadable /etc/passwd skips the cases instead of failing them.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two things this revision's refactor could have broken and they hold: the new normalized_buf[normalized_len] = 0 write in get_overwriting_file_list (src/libarchive/lib.rs:1410) is in bounds because the pathname.len() >= normalized_buf.len() guard at line 1402 rejects paths that would fill the buffer and normalization never lengthens the path, so the ZStr::from_raw SAFETY claim is accurate; and file_mode(perm, Everyone) reproduces the prior (perm & 0o777) | 0o666 byte-for-byte at both bun install sites (TarballStream.rs:885 and the default ExtractOptions), so install/create/--compile file modes are unchanged.
Extended reasoning...
Findings-present run; this body only records what else was examined and ruled out. I read the full diff across the five files. The SAFETY comment backing the new fstatat path in the conflict check is supported by the existing length guard and the same pattern already used in extract (lib.rs:1612). The file_mode helper preserves the install-path mode exactly for FileReaders::Everyone; for FromEntry it matches the old glob-path computation except when the entry has only setuid/setgid/sticky bits set (old: mode 0, new: 0o644), which is a strictly saner result. The scopeguard in truncate_entry_file closes the fd on every early return and is disarmed only on the success path.
The o+x bits that nobody needs go on in beforeAll and come off in afterAll, so the concurrent cases share them and nothing stays changed.
A mode without the owner write bit makes a read-only file on Windows. The next extraction cannot open that file, so it skips the entry and the old content stays. The path without a glob and bun install already pass mode 0 there.
… from #43135 The mode test covers both extractors under umask 022 and umask 000, and the second open that the extractor without a glob does after it creates a parent directory. It replaces the four-mode test. Two tests extract a second time over the file from the first time: a member that the archive marks read-only (also on Windows), and a second user of the group in a directory that the group can write. The install test pins the 0o666 of both bun install extractors.

Itsopenatmakes a read-only file when the mode has no owner write bit.

Self-review
Reviews of the first revisions changed the code in four places: the in-place fallback when
unlinkatis refused (with its symlink and hard link checks), the entry mode forBun.Archivewithout a glob, and thebun createconflict check. The symlinked-parent concern (below) is left to #41750. The glob path still skips an entry whose second open fails after the unlink (ENOSPC,EDQUOT), the same as GNU tar. Windows keeps its code: its sites take au16path throughopenat_windows, andunlinkatthere takes au8ZStr.A review of the fold (the commits from ca56e2b on) raised one docs error and a number of smaller points. Addressed: the docs and the JSDoc said that Bun does not restore the setuid, setgid and sticky bits, which is true only for a file (
directory_modekeeps them for a directory entry without a glob). Both texts now say "of a file", say that a file written in place keeps its mode, and the JSDoc names the0o644default. The mode test has a member with only a special bit (0o4000, which the glob path created as0000before). The two-user test no longer depends on the umask of the test run. The Windows comment inArchive.rsnames Windows. Not changed:unlinkatthat fails withENOENTafter theEEXISTgoes to the in-place fallback, which then creates the file (a benign race). The retry arms run the replace sequence a second time aftermake_path. Thebun createconflict probe follows symlinks (fstatat), as itsO_WRONLYopen did.Symlinks in a parent directory
unlinkat(dirfd, "a/b/c")follows a symlink ataora/b, the same way the existingopenatdoes. So a pre-existingout/d -> ../victimalready let an entryd/f.txttruncatevictim/f.txt. With this change the entry removesvictim/f.txtand creates a new one, so a read-onlyvictim/f.txtis no longer protected by its own mode. #41750 opens each parent one component at a time withO_NOFOLLOWand closes that gap for both calls. Its file-levelELOOParm becomes dead code after this change, becauseO_EXCLreports a symlink asEEXIST.What this PR takes from #43135
#43135 fixed the mode widening alone, with a
FileReadersenum of the same shape. It also gave the owner read and write, and it gave the group and others the write bit where they can read. Those bits kept a second extraction working while the extractors reopened an existing file withO_TRUNC. With the unlink they are not needed, so this PR keeps the exact bits of the entry, as GNU tar does. This PR takes from #43135:0444member twice. The second extraction goes through the unlink. The test also runs on Windows.Everyonevariant at the two install sites.bun.d.tsJSDoc, reworded for the exact bits.Two users of one group under umask 002
One case differs from released builds. Without a glob, released builds create a
0644member as0664under umask 002. They create the destination and each implied parent directory as0755, whatever the umask is. So a second user of the group can overwrite that file in place, but cannot create a file next to it. With the exact bits the file is0644, and the second user can replace it only where the group can write to the directory.GNU tar 1.35 does the same. In a
0775directory it replaces the file of the first user. In a0755directory it fails withCannot open: File exists. With a glob, released builds already skip the entry in both directories. The test covers the0775directory on both paths.#43135 chose the write bits to keep that in-place overwrite. A review there named the cost: under umask 002 or 000, a
0644member becomes writable by the group or by everyone.Windows
openaton Windows makes a read-only file when the mode has no owner write bit. The glob path passed the entry mode, so a0444member became a read-only file, and the next extraction skipped it (count 0, the old content stays). The path without a glob andbun installalways pass mode 0. The glob path now does the same. The0444test fails on canary 08a2340 on Windows x64 and passes with this change. A file that is already read-only (from a released build, or marked by the user) is still skipped with a glob and still makesextract()reject without one. Windows has no unlink-and-replace yet.Symlink entries
A symlink entry over an existing name still fails with
EEXISTand is skipped (src/libarchive/lib.rs:1133,src/runtime/api/Archive.rs:1472). That is a separate change.Measurements on main (0d3492e), Linux x64, user
