Decision needed: should a Bun.* call that opens one file give the system the path as written? Directory options keep the text fold (Notes).
Problem
Bun.mmap("app/cur/../config.json") maps another file than fs.readFileSync reads when app/cur is a symlink. A write through the default shared mapping changes that file.
Bun.mmap("f.txt") throws EACCES below a directory that cannot be searched. fs.openSync opens it.
mmap() (src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs:1258 on main) opens a text join onto the working directory. Nobody reported either.
Bun.Glob (a relative cwd, and absolute results behind a ..) and Bun.FileSystemRouter (dir) fold <symlink>/.. as text too. A first version of this branch moved both to the system's reading. That part is not in this PR. It is on the branch robobun/8accdf39/glob-router-symlink-dotdot-parked and waits for the answer.
Nobody reported this. It was found while the same class was fixed in fs.cp (#47102). A caller that builds the path with path.join or path.resolve sees no change, because JavaScript folds the .. before Bun.mmap gets the string.

In a compiled executable
mmap() joins a path only where process.chdir joins its argument (resolve_chdir_target, src/runtime/node/node_process.rs:537): an absolute path, and a relative path while the working directory is inside the executable. A joined text under /$bunfs/ names an embedded file or folder. A relative path that starts inside the executable and leads out of it goes to the system as the joined text, because the system has no working directory there.
A relative path from a working directory on the disk goes to the system as written. main joined it onto the recorded working directory, so ../../$bunfs/root/f named an embedded file from the disk. That is ENOENT now, as for node:fs and process.chdir.
For a disk path the answer is that of fs.openSync. After process.chdir() into the executable, <disk>/app/cur/../config.json maps the file that the system resolves (main: the other file).
For an embedded path, Bun.mmap and node:fs differ on main and with this PR. This PR does not decide that rule. Bun.mmap folds .., . and // in an absolute /$bunfs/ path, as process.chdir does. node:fs and Bun.file look the string up as written.
In an executable built with --compile --aot --asset ./data, Bun.mmap(__dirname + "/../data/note.txt") maps the file. fs.readFileSync of that path is ENOENT.
The other direction: an asset imported from above the entry point with --asset-naming "[dir]/[name].[ext]" has the name /$bunfs/root/../shared/note.txt. fs.readFileSync reads it, and Bun.mmap gives ENOENT.
The rule for a /$bunfs/ spelling belongs in src/standalone_graph, for all APIs at once.
An error names the path as written. Bun.mmap("/$bunfs/root/a/..") is EISDIR with that path (main: /$bunfs/root).
The AOT program test/aot/parallel/modules/all-kinds-path-starts-folder-executable compares a compiled executable with plain bun. Built by hand with --compile --aot, its 342 lines are the same as under plain bun. (Its runner skips on a build that is not canary.)
/$bunfs/root/../../<disk path> mapped the disk file. It is now ENOENT, as for node:fs.
A relative path whose join does not fit maps when the working directory is on the disk (main: Path too long). Under a working directory inside the executable it is ENAMETOOLONG with the path as written.
For a program built with --compile --aot --compile-in-place, fs.openSync also finds an embedded file at its source path when the disk does not have it. Bun.mmap gives ENOENT there, on main and with this PR.
For users
On a released version, this wrapper gives the answers of this PR (run on Linux): const fd = fs.openSync(path, "r+"); try { return Bun.mmap("/dev/fd/" + fd); } finally { fs.closeSync(fd); }
Bun.mmap(path.resolve(p)) gives the answer of main for a <symlink>/.. path.

Without links 13,732 rows differ from main: 12,108 in the error path only, 750 map on main and are ENOENT or ENOTDIR for the system, 874 get the system's error code. Of the 3,120 rows with no ., .., // or trailing /, 1,547 differ, all in the error path of a relative spelling. The tree of that run has no directory that cannot be searched.
Tests
test/js/bun/util/mmap.test.js: 25 pass and 4 fail on the release build of main, 29 pass on the release build and on the debug build of this PR.
Two clauses of the join were removed in turn, and one row fails for each:
The joined text is used for an absolute path after process.chdir() into the executable: the row "in the embedded folder: link/.. on the disk, absolute" gets STALE.
The joined text is not used for a relative path that leads out of the executable: the row "in the embedded folder: disk file" gets ENOENT.
With the join of the earlier commits (every path, onto the recorded working directory), the row "embedded file by a relative path from the disk" maps the file.
Self-review
Rejected: move the embedded-path branch onto node::types::PathLike, which node:fs and Bun.file use. PathLike looks an absolute /$bunfs/ path up as written. With it, Bun.mmap(__dirname + "/../data/note.txt") stops mapping in a compiled executable. It maps on main, with this PR, and under plain bun.
Not taken: join_onto_working_directory_in_executable (src/runtime/node/types.rs:1203) for the relative case. It makes 3 allocations per call (a Box and two Vec). The join in mmap() makes none.
9 of the concerns were addressed when the Bun.Glob and FileSystemRouter parts left this PR.
Not in this PR
Bun.Glob and Bun.FileSystemRouter, see "The decision".
process.chdir has the same join (src/runtime/node/node_process.rs:549), on main and with this PR. With the working directory inside the executable, it folds an absolute <disk>/<link>/.. as text: <disk>/app/cur/.. lands in <disk>/app, and from the disk it lands in <disk>/releases. There, a relative argument of 4,083 bytes or more stops the process: panic: index out of bounds: the len is 4096 but the index is 4096.

Bun.mmap joined its path onto the working directory as text before open().
A text join drops `link/..`, where the system goes to the parent of what
`link` points to. So the mapping, which is shared and writable by default,
was of another file than fs.readFileSync and Bun.file read for that string.
The path now goes to open() as written, as fs.realpath.native does since
#45423. The joined text stays for what a compiled executable holds, and
for a relative path while the working directory is inside the executable.
Reproduced on a release build of main (f7607a3, Linux x64). With app/cur -> ../releases/v2, Bun.mmap("app/cur/../config.json") returns the bytes of app/config.json. fs.readFileSync returns those of releases/config.json for the same string.
The 4 new or changed tests in test/js/bun/util/mmap.test.js fail on that build. They pass on a debug build and on a release build of this branch.
CI build 135860 (3e4921f) is complete. The file passes on every POSIX lane: Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, the ASAN lane, macOS x64, macOS aarch64 and macOS 27 aarch64. Windows skips it.
That build is red from 2 test/aot tests that this PR does not touch. test/aot/engine/ir-6.test.ts is also red on main (build 135526, the same base commit). test/aot/build-scaling/build-scaling-2.test.ts fails on the macOS 27 aarch64 lane only. Every other failure passed on a retry.
The behaviour change needs a maintainer's decision. The question is the first line of the PR body.
…tem does (parked)
Not proposed for merge. This is the rest of the change that #47454 took
Bun.mmap from. It moves a relative Bun.Glob `cwd` and the FileSystemRouter
`dir` from the text reading of `<symlink>/..` to the system's reading, and
makes absolute glob results behind a `..` name the directory that was
listed.
It waits for a decision. #44342 records the text fold for the router's
`dir`, and #45800 pins the same fold for `--cwd` with tests.
Review items that are still open in this commit:
- make the walker check opt-in for Bun.Glob, or own the `bun lint` change
- return the error of the check and do not fall back to the folded text
- do not name the directory with libc realpath
- move the router check into load_router, so that reload() repeats it
- take `\` as a separator at the router, as its join does
- add rows for a literal pattern and for a folded text that does not exist

Summary
Path selection and errors src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs
mmap conditionally joins paths for standalone-graph lookup and paths relative to the executable. It validates path length, uses the caller-written path for directory lookup, and reports mapping errors with that path when available.
Path limits and filesystem resolution test/js/bun/util/mmap.test.js
Tests check path-length boundaries and compare Bun.mmap results and filesystem errors with open. They also cover symlink and .. resolution, shared-mapping writes, and restricted directory permissions.
Tests check embedded files and folders, disk paths, relative paths, and filesystem errors in compiled executables.

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 as-written copy into the pooled buffer: path.len() < MAX_PATH_BYTES equals the PathBuffer size, and the joined text is bounded by buf_len - 1, so the trailing NUL write at buf[path_len] stays in bounds on both branches. I also looked at the relative-path cases in a compiled executable whose cwd is on disk (an over-long join falling through unjoined, and the embedded lookup for a relative path) — both reach the kernel with the text as written, matching what node:fs does, so they are not regressions.
Extended reasoning...
The change rewires POSIX path handling in Bun.mmap (src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs) so the kernel opens the caller's text instead of a lexical join, keeps the join only for standalone-executable paths, makes one helper in src/runtime/node/types.rs pub(crate), and replaces one subprocess test with four in test/js/bun/util/mmap.test.js. It touches file-open path resolution with a shared writable mapping, so symlink semantics are the sensitive surface; the new behavior defers to the kernel rather than folding link/.. as text. Six inline findings were posted (one behavioral gap for --compile --aot source-path lookups, the rest nits), which already signal that a human should look.
An absolute path into a compiled executable that held `..` was named by its
joined text in EISDIR and ENOENT. A path of the system's limit or longer threw
a TypeError where node:fs and Bun.file give ENAMETOOLONG.
The tests now drain the build's pipes together, run the child that needs an
unsearchable directory as an unprivileged user, and cover a relative path that
leaves the embedded folder.
…ed one
The rows that leave the embedded folder by a relative path resolved to the
same file from the system's working directory when the temporary directory was
two levels deep. The child now changes into a deeper directory first.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The two new commits address the points from my earlier pass, and I found no bugs in the updated diff; since this changes which paths Bun.mmap accepts (lexically repaired spellings like missing/../f now fail as in node:fs, and relative paths resolve against the process cwd rather than the recorded one), a maintainer's look at that behavior change would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
Buffer bounds for the raw-copy branch: Valid::path_too_long rejects len >= MAX_PATH_BYTES and PathBuffer is [u8; MAX_PATH_BYTES], so buf[path.len()] = 0 is in range; the joined branch writes into buf[..buf_len - 1], so the SAFETY comment holds for both.
The throw closure only rewrites err.path when the error already carries one, so open("") keeps the path-less ENOENT shape the tests expect, and error_for_caller's ENOENT-to-ENOTDIR mapping still runs first.
Compiled-executable branch: find_ref/find_dir now operate on the same bytes handed to open, and the || starts_in_executable join is pinned by the new "in the embedded folder: disk file" row.
Test setup: unprivilegedSpawnOptions is taken before sealed (mode 000) is created, which still yields EACCES for uid 65534 regardless of owner; the serial test states why it is not concurrent.
Extended reasoning...
The PR rewrites the POSIX path handling in mmap in src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs so the kernel receives the user-written path (except inside compiled executables, which keep the lexical join), routes over-long and syscall errors through the shared node:fs error helpers, and replaces one test with four in test/js/bun/util/mmap.test.js including a bun build --compile matrix. No security-sensitive surface beyond path handling; embedded NULs and over-long paths are still rejected before any syscall, and the pooled buffer writes are bounded. All five nits from the earlier review (ENAMETOOLONG at the limit, draining the build subprocess, the untested starts_in_executable join, root-runner EACCES coverage, concurrency) were addressed in commits e1344ef and 9bd4b99; the pre-existing AOT graph fallback gap was flagged as non-blocking and remains out of scope. Deferring rather than approving because the change alters user-visible Bun.mmap semantics for previously accepted path spellings, which is a product decision for a maintainer rather than a mechanical fix.
In a compiled executable, mmap() joined every path onto a working
directory to see if it names an embedded file. For a relative path from
a working directory on the disk that base was the recorded working
directory. Now mmap() joins the paths that process.chdir joins: an
absolute path, and a relative path while the working directory is
inside the executable. A relative path from the disk goes to the system
as written, as it does for node:fs.
Tests:
- The compiled-executable rows pass `..` behind a folder that the
executable holds (`--asset ./app/a`), not behind an absent folder.
- New rows: an absolute `link/..` path on the disk after process.chdir()
into the executable, a relative path from the disk that names an
embedded file, and a relative path behind an absent folder inside the
executable.
- New row: `f.txt` below a folder that cannot be searched. main throws
EACCES for it, because it opens the joined absolute path.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
I re-reviewed the follow-up pushes (through 93fd603) and found no bugs; the points from the earlier inline threads are now addressed in the code. Because this changes which file Bun.mmap opens for every path containing .., an empty string, or a symlink, and the compiled-executable matrix has several branches, a human look at the intended semantics would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
The narrowed join gate (absolute path, or relative with the cwd inside the executable) against join_onto_working_directory_in_executable in src/runtime/node/types.rs — same conditions, so fs.openSync and Bun.mmap hand the kernel the same string.
Buffer bounds on the verbatim copy: Valid::path_too_long rejects len >= MAX_PATH_BYTES and PathBuffer is exactly MAX_PATH_BYTES, so buf[path_len] = 0 is in range on both the raw and joined branches; buf_z borrows the pool guard that outlives it.
error_for_caller still sees the opened text in err.path for its ENOENT→ENOTDIR rewrite before the closure substitutes the written path.
In the as-written test, sealed and loop are created after unprivilegedSpawnOptions chowns the tree, which keeps sealed untraversable for the child whether or not the suite runs as root.
Extended reasoning...
The PR rewrites the non-Windows path handling of Bun.mmap in src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs so the kernel opens the path as written (joining only for standalone-executable paths), swaps the "Path too long" TypeError for an ENAMETOOLONG system error, and names the written path in every error; test/js/bun/util/mmap.test.js gains four tests including a --compile executable matrix and an unprivileged-child permission matrix. It touches no auth or crypto surface, but it changes which file a writable shared mapping targets for symlinked .. paths, which is the security-relevant motivation. Since my last review the author narrowed the join gate (d99e96d) and addressed every inline nit in code, and the bug hunt ran dry with no findings; the change is nonetheless a user-visible semantics change with a known pre-existing --aot divergence left open, so a human should confirm the intended behavior rather than this bot approving outright.
Test the executable working directory after an embedded-to-disk change.
The fixture never changes from the embedded root to the disk before a relative mapping. A regression that keeps a stale executable working directory after a disk process.chdir would not fail this test. Adding Bun.mmap("cur/../config.json") between the two existing chdir calls would not close this gap. At that point the working directory has not been set to the embedded root, so the reset is not exercised. Enter the root first, then change to the disk, then map the relative path.

mmap()joins a path only whereprocess.chdirjoins its argument (resolve_chdir_target,src/runtime/node/node_process.rs:537): an absolute path, and a relative path while the working directory is inside the executable. A joined text under/$bunfs/names an embedded file or folder. A relative path that starts inside the executable and leads out of it goes to the system as the joined text, because the system has no working directory there.../../$bunfs/root/fnamed an embedded file from the disk.
