What does this PR do?

On POSIX, fs.realpath treated \ as a path separator, so it failed on a file named a\b, or returned a different file when a/b also existed:

fs.writeFileSync(d + "/a\\b", "the real file");
fs.realpathSync(d + "/a\\b"); // ENOENT            (Node: d + "/a\\b")
fs.mkdirSync(d + "/a");
fs.writeFileSync(d + "/a/b", "another file");
fs.realpathSync(d + "/a\\b"); // d + "/a/b"        (Node: d + "/a\\b")

Cause. Before opening the path, realpath_inner joined it onto the cwd with FileSystem::abs_buf_checked, which uses platform::Loose: \ is a separator, and \c and C:\d are absolute. The cwd went through the same join, so realpathSync(".") failed inside a directory named w\d. Asking for platform::Posix is not enough, because normalize_string_buf sends Posix to the loose normalizer too.

That one lexical join also served both variants, and it suits neither:

  • fs.realpath / fs.realpathSync in Node start from path.resolve(path). The join kept a trailing slash, so realpathSync("file/") threw ENOTDIR.
  • fs.realpath.native / fs.realpathSync.native / fs.promises.realpath in Node give the path to realpath(3) untouched. The join collapsed .. before the system saw it, so link/../y resolved next to the link rather than next to its target, and nope/.., file/.. and "" succeeded.

Fix (realpath_inner, the match variant): each variant now prepares the path as Node does.

  • Emulated calls bun_node_path::resolve_posix_t, the function behind path.posix.resolve.
  • Native passes the path as given, like the other node:fs calls.
  • fs.promises.realpath uses the native binding. Node documents it as having the semantics of fs.realpath.native, and leaving it on the emulated one would have turned its correct ENOTDIR for file/ into a success.

path.resolve had one loose spot of its own, which the emulated variant would have inherited: get_cwd_u8 / get_cwd_u16 in src/node_path/lib.rs trimmed trailing \ as well as / from the cached cwd. In a directory named e\, path.resolve("z") gave …/e/z. On POSIX they now trim only /.

Because Native opens a relative path as given, it can open a directory whose absolute path is longer than PATH_MAX, which the join refused up front. The step from descriptor to path then has to report it. On Linux readlink's truncation guard already says ENAMETOOLONG. On macOS fcntl(F_GETPATH) fails with ENOSPC, which get_fd_path now reports as ENAMETOOLONG, as realpath(3) and Node do.

fs.promises.realpath was the only caller of the emulated binding on Windows (realpath and realpathSync are implemented in JS there), so the branch that trimmed a trailing \ from libuv's result has no caller left and is removed. On Windows, fs.promises.realpath now returns uv_fs_realpath's result as is, and its errors say realpath instead of lstat. The only result the trim changed was a drive root: fs.promises.realpath("C:\\") gave C: and now gives C:\, as in Node.

path realpathSync: 1.4.3 → PR Node .native: 1.4.3 → PR Node
a\b (with a/b present) a/b → a\b a\b a/b → a\b a\b
\c, C:\d, w\d/z ENOENT → resolves resolves ENOENT → resolves resolves
a\..\file file → ENOENT ENOENT file → ENOENT ENOENT
. with cwd w\d ENOENT → w\d w\d ENOENT → w\d w\d
z with cwd e\ (with e/z present) e/z → e\/z e\/z e/z → e\/z e\/z
file/ ENOTDIR → file file ENOTDIR ENOTDIR
file/.., file/. unchanged same resolves → ENOTDIR ENOTDIR
nope/.., nope/../file unchanged same resolves → ENOENT ENOENT
link/../y (link → dir/sub) y y y → dir/y dir/y
"" cwd cwd cwd → ENOENT ENOENT

fs.promises.realpath matched the realpathSync column in 1.4.3 and now matches the .native one, as in Node.

Still different from Node, and the same as before, both in fs.realpath's errors: for a dangling or looping symlink syscall says "lstat" where Node says "stat", and path is the argument as given where Node names the first component its walk failed on.

How did you verify your code works?

  • New test realpath reads its path the way Node does in test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts: the rows above through all five entry points (realpathSync, realpath, both .native, promises.realpath), each as a relative string, an absolute string and a Buffer. It fails with USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 (1.4.3) and passes on this branch.
  • New test promises.realpath is realpath.native in the same file, which runs on every platform: the filesystem root comes back equal to realpathSync.native(root) and still ends in the separator, and a missing path rejects with syscall: "realpath". It fails on 1.4.3.
  • New test a backslash at the end of the cwd is part of its name in test/js/node/path/resolve.test.js. It fails on 1.4.3.
  • The existing test for ENAMETOOLONG in fs.test.ts now also covers a directory that exists and whose absolute path is too long, through realpathSync, realpathSync.native and promises.realpath. It fails on 1.4.3. On macOS arm64 I ran its script by hand: Node v25.9.0 prints the expected rows, and a build of this branch without the get_fd_path change prints ENOSPC for the two native rows. I have not run a macOS build that has the change.
  • A 44-path script run through the same five entry points on Linux and diffed against Node v26.7.0: 27 rows differ on Bun 1.4.3, 2 on this branch (the syscall label above).
  • The rest of fs.test.ts passes apart from mkdtempSync() empty name, which needs a writable / and fails the same way on 1.4.3 on my machine. test/js/node/path/ passes. test-fs-realpath*.js, test-fs-promises.js, test-fs-long-path.js, test-path-resolve.js and test-path-relative.js from Node's suite pass.
  • bun run rust:check-all passed on all 12 targets for the realpath_inner change, and on both macOS targets with everything in this PR. Apart from the macOS run above and the Windows run below, I did not run the Windows or macOS behaviour myself.
  • On Windows x64 I ran 8 paths (junctions whose target is written with and without a trailing \, each also with a trailing \ in the argument, a file through a junction, a directory with a trailing \, the drive root, a missing path) through the five entry points, with CI's build of this branch, CI's build of the merge base and Node v25.8.1. This branch matches Node in all 40 results. The merge base differs in 2, both from fs.promises.realpath: C: for the drive root and lstat in the ENOENT.

Walkthrough

The realpath implementation now applies variant-specific POSIX path handling and preserves libuv’s returned Windows path without emulated-only trimming. fs.promises.realpath now delegates to realpathNative. POSIX tests cover path resolution, filesystem errors, and long paths.

Changes

Realpath behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Variant-specific path handling
src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs, src/node_path/lib.rs, src/sys/lib.rs, test/js/node/path/resolve.test.js
On POSIX, Native uses the supplied path and Emulated resolves it with resolve_posix_t. The emulated path returns ENAMETOOLONG when it does not fit the scratch buffer. On Windows, both variants use libuv’s returned path without trailing-backslash trimming. The non-Windows trailing-slash helper preserves a one-character path. On macOS, F_GETPATH errors with ENOSPC become ENAMETOOLONG. A POSIX test checks path resolution from a directory whose name ends in a backslash.
Promise routing and realpath regression coverage
src/js/node/fs.promises.ts, test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts
fs.promises.realpath delegates to fs.realpathNative. POSIX tests compare realpath APIs across path forms, symlinks, and changed working directories, including expected ENOENT and ENOTDIR outcomes. Long-path tests check error codes and syscalls across sync, native, and promise APIs.

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 the new Emulated arm in realpath_inner for buffer and lifetime problems and found none: resolve_buf_len sizes the scratch pair for the cwd prepend plus separator and NUL, the resolved.len() >= inbuf.len() guard runs before paths::resolve_path::z (whose own too-long branch panics in debug builds), and the returned ZStr borrows sync_error_buf, not the vec that is dropped at the end of the arm. I also confirmed the Windows Emulated branch really has no caller left: realpathSync/realpath are JS on win32 and fs.promises.realpath now binds realpathNative.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites the POSIX path preparation in realpath_inner (src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs), switches fs.promises.realpath to the native binding (src/js/node/fs.promises.ts), and adds one POSIX-only subprocess test; it touches no auth, crypto, or injection surface, only filesystem path handling. Inline findings were already posted, so this note only records the memory-safety and dead-code checks that were examined and ruled out.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🟣 src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs — macOS users calling fs.promises.realpath or the .native variants on a file or directory they cannot read get EACCES where Node resolves the path. The non-Linux arm at src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:7636 opens with O_RDONLY, and sys::open at node_fs.rs:7638 fails on mode-000 entries. Node's realpath(3) only needs search permission on the parents. The PR table claims the native column now matches Node. Fix: on non-Linux targets fall back to libc realpath when open() returns EACCES, or open with O_SYMLINK-free search-only flags, and add a test with an unreadable directory.

    Why this was flagged

    Trigger: on macOS (and other non-Linux POSIX), realpath of an entry whose mode lacks the read bit for the caller, for example a 0o300 directory or a 0o000 file, through fs.promises.realpath, fs.realpathSync.native or fs.realpath.native. The flags at src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:7636 are O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOCTTY; open() needs read permission, so node_fs.rs:7638 returns EACCES and the wrapper at node_fs.rs:7549-7557 surfaces EACCES realpath. Linux avoids this with O_PATH at node_fs.rs:7634. Node calls realpath(3), which succeeds with only search permission on parents. The base branch opened with the same flags, so the finder marked it pre-existing; but the PR now advertises Node parity for exactly these entry points and the new test at test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts:3241 has no permission case, so the gap ships unflagged. Remedy: a libc realpath fallback on EACCES for non-Linux targets, plus a test.

    Verification: On macOS, any of the realpath entry points is called on an entry the caller lacks read permission for. src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:7635-7636 selects sys::O::RDONLY | sys::O::NONBLOCK | sys::O::NOCTTY, and node_fs.rs:7638 sys::open(path, flags, 0) yields EACCES. The base commit (116dd64 node_fs.rs:7646-7653) had the identical open, so merging does not introduce or widen the defect.

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

The second commit covers the two points from the last round that it set out to (the cwd ending in \ now survives get_cwd_u8, and fs.promises.realpath has a test that runs on Windows). Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two things in the new Emulated arm and ruled them out: the per-call vec![0u8; 2 * len] at src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:7618 cannot come from the path-buffer pool, since resolve_buf_len always exceeds one PathBuffer and the RarePathBuf slab path.resolve uses is VM-owned while this code also runs on the work pool; and the Native arm reporting ENOENT instead of ENAMETOOLONG for a path at or over MAX_PATH_BYTES is the same slice_z behaviour every other node:fs syscall wrapper in this file already has, not something this change introduces.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewires the POSIX realpath_inner so the emulated variant goes through resolve_posix_t and the native variant passes the path untouched, points fs.promises.realpath at the native binding, stops stripping a trailing backslash from the cwd in src/node_path/lib.rs, and drops the Windows trailing-backslash trim; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface, only path handling for node:fs. Three inline findings are posted this run, so approval is off the table; the body only records what else was examined this round and acknowledges the follow-up commit.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: on POSIX, fs.watch, fs.watchFile and cpSync symlink copying still treat a backslash as a separator, so a file named a\b is watched or linked as a/b. They join the path with join_abs_string_buf::platform::Posix, whose Posix arm at src/paths/resolve_path.rs:1386 uses the loose normalizer, the mechanism this PR removes from realpath_inner. Fix: make the Posix normalizer split on '/' only, or route these joins through bun_node_path::resolve_posix_t as realpath_inner now does, which covers the 4 sites listed. Same pattern at 4 sites (node_fs_watcher.rs:1147, node_fs_stat_watcher.rs:822, node_fs.rs:8426, path_watcher.rs:606).
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

A user on Linux or macOS calls fs.watch("a\b") or fs.watchFile("a\b") on a file literally named a\b, or runs fs.cpSync(src, dest, { recursive: true }) over a relative symlink whose target contains a backslash. FSWatcher::init at src/runtime/node/node_fs_watcher.rs:1145-1150 and StatWatcher::init at src/runtime/node/node_fs_stat_watcher.rs:819-822 join the input onto the cached top_level_dir with Path::join_abs_string_buf[_checked]::platform::Auto (Auto = Posix on unix); cp_symlink at src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:8426 does the same with platform::Posix. normalize_string_buf_t's Platform::Posix arm at resolve_path.rs:1386-1388 dispatches to normalize_string_loose_buf_t, which rewrites every '\' as '/'. So the watcher is installed on cwd/a/b (ENOENT or a different file) and the copied symlink points at .../a/b instead of .../a\b. This is the exact mechanism the PR fixes for fs.realpath but the sibling node:fs entry points keep it; the base branch fails the same way, so this is pre-existing. The new test at test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts:3241 only exercises the five realpath entry points.

Verification: pre-existing. On Linux/macOS fs.watch("a\b") on a file named a\b watches a/b instead. All three sites join through the same normalizer the PR removed from realpath_inner: node_fs_watcher.rs:1147, node_fs_stat_watcher.rs:822, node_fs.rs:8426. normalize_string_buf_t routes Platform::Posix to normalize_string_loose_buf_t (resolve_path.rs:1386-1388). The base already fails the same way.

Confirmed for two of the four, not changed here. With a file a\b and a decoy a/b, fs.watch("a\\b") and fs.watchFile("a\\b") fire for the decoy on Linux where Node fires for a\b. path_watcher.rs:606 calls join_z_buf_spill, which goes through normalize_string_node_t and does split on / only. cp_symlink is not reached from fs.cp* on Linux, where links and directories take the JS walker (tryNativeFastPathSync), and copying a link to t\x gives Node's result. The watchers are left for a separate change because the cause is the shared normalizer: making its Posix arm strict also changes manifest and tarball handling that tests pin as lenient (migrate.test.ts "packages\\pkg1", bun-create.test.ts "behind a \").

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: a program that calls fs.realpath(relativePath, cb) and then process.chdir() can get the path resolved against the new cwd, or a torn cwd string, where Node resolves it synchronously against the cwd at call time. The Emulated arm at src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:7620 runs resolve_posix_t on the work-pool thread, reading the cwd bytes that process.chdir rewrites in place. Fix: for the async Emulated flavor, capture the cwd (or run path.resolve) on the JS thread when the call is made, before the task is queued, or copy top_level_dir under the lock rather than handing out a slice into a buffer that chdir overwrites.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

A user calls fs.realpath("x", cb) (callback form, RealpathVariant::Emulated via realpath_cb at src/runtime/node/node_fs_binding.rs:409) and then process.chdir("other") on the same tick. The callback flavor runs NodeFS::dispatch with Flavor::Async on the work pool (src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:1375), so realpath_inner reaches bun_node_path::resolve_posix_t at node_fs.rs:7620 on a pool thread. resolve_posix_t fetches the cwd through get_cwd_u8 at src/node_path/lib.rs:198-201, which copies top_level_dir(), a &'static [u8] pointing into fs.top_level_dir_buf. process.chdir on the JS thread calls set_process_cwd at src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5822-5837, which overwrites top_level_dir_buf in place and then publishes a new slice; a pool thread that already holds the old slice reads bytes while they are being rewritten, and one that reads after the publish resolves "x" against the new cwd. Node's fs.realpath runs pathModule.resolve(p) synchronously inside the call, so the later chdir cannot affect it. The base branch did the same read on the pool thread through FileSystem::abs_buf_checked, so this is pre-existing.

Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: a program calls fs.realpath(relativePath, cb) and then process.chdir() before the work-pool thread has run the task. The Emulated arm at node_fs.rs:7620 fetches the cwd on the pool thread; set_process_cwd rewrites fs.top_level_dir_buf in place at src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5822-5835, so the task can read a torn cwd or resolve against the new cwd. The base branch did the same read on the same pool thread.

Confirmed, and the same before this PR, so not changed here. Running fs.realpath("x", cb) then process.chdir() in the same tick 200 times on Linux: Node v26.7.0 resolves against the old cwd 200 times; Bun 1.4.3 uses the new cwd 51 times and once returns the cwd without x. main reads FileSystem::top_level_dir on the pool thread in the same place. fs.realpath.native is subject to the same timing in Node (8 of 200 used the new cwd). Taking the cwd on the JS thread touches how async node:fs arguments are captured, which is a separate change.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🟡 test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts — nit: the existing test at test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts:6998-7030 no longer exercises the cwd-plus-path overflow for fs.realpathSync.native. Since the Native arm at src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:7614 passes the raw path to open, "a".repeat(4090) now fails with ENAMETOOLONG from the kernel's NAME_MAX (255) check on the single component, not from the buffer bound the comment at :7001-7004 describes. Fix: give the native case a multi-component existing path (components under 255 bytes) whose cwd-joined length exceeds MAX_PATH_BYTES so the readlink truncation guard at src/sys/lib.rs:2607 is what the assertion covers, and update the comment.

    Why this was flagged

    The test at test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts:6998 asserts both fs.realpathSync and fs.realpathSync.native give ENAMETOOLONG for "a".repeat(4090) in a temp cwd. On the base both went through abs_buf_checked, which rejected the joined length. After this change the Native arm at src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs:7614 calls sys::open at node_fs.rs:7638 with the 4090-byte single component, and Linux and macOS return ENAMETOOLONG because the component exceeds NAME_MAX, so the test still passes but no longer proves the property its comment (:7001-7004) and name describe for the native variant. A regression in the native variant's handling of an over-long resolved path (the readlink guard at src/sys/lib.rs:2607, or the macOS F_GETPATH branch) would not be caught. No user-visible behavior is affected; this is a test-coverage nit.

    Verification: nit. Whenever the unchanged test at /home/claude/bun/test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts:6998-7030 runs on this branch, its fs.realpathSync.native half gets ENAMETOOLONG from the kernel rather than from any Bun-side buffer bound. In /home/claude/bun/src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs the cwd join was deleted in this PR; only the Emulated arm still has a length check. Nothing breaks at runtime.

The Windows branch ignores RealpathVariant::Emulated and returns libuv’s buffer unchanged. A junction can therefore return C:\target\, while Node’s reachable realpath tests require C:\target. Apply the existing root-aware helper only to the emulated variant.

Suggested fix
             let buf = unsafe { bun_core::ffi::cstr(ptr) }.to_bytes();
-            let _ = variant;
+            let buf = if variant == RealpathVariant::Emulated {
+                paths::string_paths::without_trailing_slash_windows_path(buf)
+            } else {
+                buf
+            };

@coderabbitai on "Trim trailing separators from emulated junction results" (node_fs.rs:7598-7605): not changed, for two reasons.

Nothing reaches RealpathVariant::Emulated on Windows. Its only entry is the realpath_sync / realpath / realpath_cb row in node_fs_binding.rs. In src/js/node/fs.ts those bindings are used only when process.platform !== "win32" (Windows has the JS implementations), and fs.promises.realpath now uses realpathNative. The suggested branch would have no caller.

Junctions do not come back with a trailing separator. On Windows x64, with CI's build of this branch, CI's build of the merge base and Node v25.8.1, I ran junctions whose target is written as …\target\ and as …\target, each with and without a trailing \ in the argument, through realpathSync, realpath, both .native and promises.realpath: every one returns …\target on all three. Over 8 paths and 5 entry points this branch matches Node in all 40 results.

The one result the old trim changed was the drive root: on the merge base fs.promises.realpath("C:\\") returns C:, where Node and this branch return C:\.

@dylan-conway, you’re right. I checked the bindings and platform dispatch. On Windows, the public emulated APIs use the JavaScript implementations, and fs.promises.realpath uses fs.realpathNative. The proposed RealpathVariant::Emulated branch would have no caller through these APIs.

Your Windows comparison also shows that junction results need no trimming. Preserving the drive-root separator is correct. I withdraw the finding. No change is needed.

Thanks for the clarification.

Learning: In Bun, src/runtime/node/node_fs_binding.rs maps the non-native realpath bindings to NodeFS::realpath_non_native, which selects RealpathVariant::Emulated in src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs. However, src/js/node/fs.ts uses those bindings only on non-Windows platforms; Windows fs.realpath and fs.realpathSync use JavaScript implementations. The .native APIs use native bindings, and src/js/node/fs.promises.ts routes promises.realpath through fs.realpathNative. Do not request Windows-only trimming in the Rust Emulated branch for these public APIs. The author tested 40 Windows junction results against Node v25.8.1 and found no trailing separator requiring trimming. Preserve the trailing separator of a drive root such as C:\.

@dylan-conway, you’re right. I verified that Windows fs.realpath and fs.realpathSync use JavaScript implementations. The .native APIs and fs.promises.realpath use native bindings. The proposed RealpathVariant::Emulated branch has no caller through these Windows APIs.

Your 40-result comparison shows no junction separator that needs trimming. Trimming the drive-root separator would instead change C:\ to C:.

This matches the existing learning from your clarification. I withdraw the finding. No change is needed.

…tp2, and update brotli (#46392)

### What does this PR do?

Fixes regressions since 1.4.3 that are still on `main` (none of them was
released), and updates brotli.

Fixes #46352

- **`bun install --frozen-lockfile` and `bun ci` refused lockfiles that
1.4.3 wrote**, so CI went red on the upgrade with nothing else changed:
- a project with `overrides` whose lockfile has a version that an
override doesn't allow. A frozen install installs what the lockfile says
again. A plain `bun install` still applies the override. (from #45307)
- a monorepo whose root names one of its own workspaces a second time:
through an `npm:` alias, as an optional peer, by a dist-tag with
`bun.lockb`, in two dependency groups, or by `file:` under another name.
In one of these shapes a plain `bun install` also exited 1, or swapped
the package.
- **`bun update --interactive` could panic** (`index out of bounds`)
after it had rewritten `package.json` and before it saved the lockfile,
most often in a workspace with a `catalog`. (from #45307)
- **`npx --quiet`, `-q`, `--no` and npx's other flags in a
`package.json` script exited 1** under `bun run`. `bunx` skips the flags
of `npx` and `npm` again. (from #44968)
- **`fs.realpathSync.native(".")`, `fs.realpath.native(".")` and
`fs.promises.realpath(".")` in a working directory that was removed**
returned `"<dir> (deleted)"`. They throw `ENOENT` again, as in Node.
(from #45423)
- **`node:http2`**: connection teardown follows Node and 1.4.3 in one
more case. (from #44618)

- **HTTP/3** (`Bun.serve({ http3: true })` and the `fetch` HTTP/3
client): header size limits are now enforced, counted as in RFC 9114
§4.2.2. The server enforces the limit it advertises
(`--max-http-header-size`, 16 KB by default) and answers `431` to a
request over it. The client advertises 64 KB as before, accepts up to
256 KB like the HTTP/2 client, and rejects a larger response with
`ResponseHeadersTooLarge` without disturbing other requests on the
connection. A request may have 200 fields, as in HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. A
header name or value over 65,535 bytes was sent cut short, with no
error. Now `fetch` rejects with `HTTP3HeaderEncodingError`, and a
`Bun.serve` response whose headers can't be sent resets its stream,
where a response with more than 64 KB of encoded headers left the
request hanging. `node:quic` reports such a failure too. `fetch` no
longer sends a POST or PATCH a second time once it was written and its
stream closed before the response headers: it rejects with
`HTTP3StreamReset`. Idempotent methods, requests that weren't written
yet and requests the server rejected with `H3_REQUEST_REJECTED` are
still retried once. (from #42579)
- **brotli is updated from v1.2.0 to v1.2.1**, which has the fix for
CVE-2026-111497 in the decoder. The decoder's new error code is in
`zlib.constants` as `BROTLI_DECODER_ERROR_FORMAT_BLOCK_SWITCH`, and
`node:zlib` reports it as `ERR__ERROR_FORMAT_BLOCK_SWITCH`, as in Node.
The error code changes and Node's regression test are from #46351 by
@fredluz, which backports the same upstream commit as a patch. Thank
you!

#### Behavior changes in `bunx`

- `bunx --registry <url>`, `--ca` and `--cafile` are new: they apply to
the install that `bunx` runs. `--reg` and pnpm's `--config.registry=`
mean `--registry`.
- `--ignore-scripts` applies to that install too.
- `--no`, `--no-yes`, `--yes=false`, `--yes false`, `-n` and `--offline`
mean `--no-install`: a tool that is installed runs, and one that isn't
is an error. 1.4.3 ignored them.
- The other flags that choose a registry or its credentials
(`--userconfig`, `--globalconfig`, `--npmrc-auth-file`,
`--replace-registry-host`, ...) are errors. 1.4.3 ignored them.
- `bun install`, `add`, `remove` and `update` parse their flags exactly
as before.

#### Not included

- With the hoisted linker, the first install in a checkout without
`node_modules` can leave out a workspace's `file:` dependency if that
workspace is also reached under a second name. #45956 has that one.
- A tag in one dependency group next to a version of the same
workspace's name in another: some combinations behave as on `main`.

### How did you verify your code works?

- Each item was reproduced first on release builds of `main` and of
1.4.3, and compared with Node v26 where Node has the API.
- Each fix has a test that fails on `main` and passes on 1.4.3 and on a
debug + ASAN build of this branch.
- `overrides`: 6,398 generated lockfiles (both linkers, `bun.lock` and
`bun.lockb`). `main` refuses 992 that 1.4.3 accepts, this branch none.
Everything that `main` accepted has the same exit code, lockfile bytes,
tree and output.
- Workspaces: 3,011 generated projects with lockfiles from 1.4.0, 1.4.2,
1.4.3 and `main`, 12 steps each (frozen, plain, `bun ci`,
`--production`, `--omit`, a workspace added later). Outside the shapes
above, the only difference from `main` is a frozen install right after a
workspace was added next to an alias or a tag of its name. It exits 0,
as on 1.4.3.
- `bunx`: 222 flag spellings called four ways on 1.4.3, `main` and this
branch, and two local registries that log their requests. 1,584
`install` / `add` / `remove` / `update` calls give the same result as on
`main`.
- brotli: Node's regression test fails on `main` and passes here. The
`node:zlib`, `CompressionStream` and compressed `fetch` tests and Node's
own brotli tests pass.
