Fixes #43109, fixes #40339

Problem

• fs.openAsBlob() is Bun.file() (src/js/node/fs.ts:54), a lazy Blob. After the file changes, blob.text() gives the new contents. node rejects the read with NotReadableError (The blob could not be read).
• It also sniffs blob.type, and resolves for a missing path.

Fix

• fs.ts makes the Blob with Bun.file(). A native function stats the path once and pins the store: path, size, mtime nanoseconds.
• The path of a file store is private. A read through the Blob opens the file with PinnedFile::open_verified, which compares the fstat with the pin. A write, the name, the shell and import() use the path, as on main.
• Verified: test/js/node/fs/fs-open-as-blob.test.ts (38 tests, 29 fail on main), linux and windows. 144 operations on an unchanged file differ from main only where node does.
• Self-reviewed: 10 concerns raised, 5 addressed. The notes name the other 5.

Background

• node compares st_size and the st_mtim nanoseconds at the open, before each pull and after each read.
• A Blob points at a refcounted Store. For a file its data is store::File.
• Considered a compare in each reader (node:fs: make openAsBlob snapshot the file, fail reads after it changes, and stop sniffing the type #43112): a new reader can forget it. A private path makes the compiler visit every use.

Downsides

• Throws now, as in node: a missing path, structuredClone of the returned Blob. A body sends no sniffed Content-Type.
• Not compared: a change during a Bun.serve response, a sendfile upload or a child's read. The shell and import() open the path.
• Cost: release binary +16.2 KB. openAsBlob() adds 1 stat and 1 allocation, a pinned read 1 or 2 fstat. Bun.file() syscalls are unchanged.

Notes

Decisions for a maintainer

• The order against Remove libuv on Windows #42819 (remove libuv on Windows). This PR edits ReadFileUV and CopyFileWindows, which Remove libuv on Windows #42819 deletes. If Remove libuv on Windows #42819 lands first, the Windows arms here go away on the rebase. If this PR lands first, Remove libuv on Windows #42819 gets conflicts in the files that both touch.
• One PR or two. The creation part (validation, the verbatim type, the error for a missing path) closes fs.openAsBlob() infers MIME from the file extension; Node leaves blob.type === "" #40339 without the pin. It can be its own PR if a smaller first step is preferred.
• The design. A private path in store::File is a change across 24 files. It is the result of a review of where the compare belongs, made before the code was written.
• sendfile for a pinned upload. It is kept, see "A change during a transfer".

Where the 16.2 KB are

From a diff of the symbol sizes of the two release builds (bun-profile, llvm-nm -S). The first push of this design had +20,536 B. The host function went from 5,227 to 2,021 B, the pin helpers from 3,769 to 2,307 B, and ReadFile from 1,852 to 1,080 B.

Part	Bytes
FileReader (streams): a compare before and after each read and at the end, and the close of its descriptor at every end	+3,218
pin helpers: open_verified 1,030, stat_file, read_pinned_file 460, init_pinned_to 276, recheck 233	+2,307
pin_open_as_blob host function (Bun.file's is 1,997)	+2,021
CopyFile and Bun.write	+1,785
ReadFile (text(), bytes(), arrayBuffer())	+1,080
Bun.Image	+1,038
structured clone (a clone has the pin)	+918
Bun.serve (FileRoute, do_sendfile 8 times, static routes)	+651
TLS options	+619
fetch body	+584
Bun.spawn stdin	+529
accessors, the DOMException bridge, the shell	+427
inliner shifts in code that the diff does not touch	+526
sum of the text symbols	+15,703

Each row from CopyFile down is one arm for a pinned file in a reader that exists. That part is what the design costs: one arm per reader.

What a Blob from fs.openAsBlob() does

Use	Unchanged file	Changed file
text(), arrayBuffer(), bytes(), json(), slice(), new File([blob])	reads	rejects, NotReadableError
stream(), new Response(blob), new Request(u, {body}), fetch(blobURL)	reads	the first read() rejects, or the one after the change
fetch(url, {body: blob}), multipart FormData	sends (sendfile kept)	rejects, NotReadableError
Bun.serve handler Response	sends	the error handler gets the NotReadableError
Bun.serve static route	sends	yields to the next handler, as for a file that is gone
Bun.write(dest, blob)	copies (copy_file_range and uv_fs_copyfile kept)	rejects before the destination is opened. A change during the copy rejects after it
TLS options	reads	throws NotReadableError
Bun.spawn({stdin: blob})	the child reads the descriptor	throws NotReadableError
new Bun.Image(blob), also as a Response body	reads	rejects or throws NotReadableError
structuredClone(blob.slice()), postMessage(new Blob([blob]))	the clone has the pin	the clone rejects its reads
Bun.write(blob, data), writer(), unlink(), stdout: blob	goes to the path, as on main	goes to the path
$`cmd ${blob}`, $`cmd < ${blob}`, $`cmd > ${blob}`, import(blobURL), new Worker(blobURL)	the path, as on main	the path
name, exists(), stat(), lastModified after a write	by path	by path
size	of the pin	of the pin

Changes a user can see, other than the fix

• A missing path throws the stat error, as node main does since src: report libuv error when openAsBlob cannot stat nodejs/node#65517 (v26.3.0 throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE). On main the Blob resolves with size 0. An empty path throws too.
• blob.type is "" unless options.type is given, and a given type is kept verbatim (fs.openAsBlob() infers MIME from the file extension; Node leaves blob.type === "" #40339). So a fetch or Response body of the Blob sends no Content-Type unless the caller sets one, and a Bun.serve handler sends application/octet-stream. node sends none either.
• structuredClone(blob) and postMessage(blob) throw ERR_INVALID_STATE (Invalid state: File-backed Blobs are not cloneable) for the Blob that openAsBlob() returned, as in node. On main they clone the lazy file. A slice of the Blob, new Blob([blob]) and new File([blob]) are cloned, as in node and on main, and the clone has the pin.
• openAsBlob(p, null) and a non-string type throw, as in node. The throw is synchronous, as in node (fs.openAsBlob is a plain function there). openAsBlob(fd) and openAsBlob("s3://...") still return what Bun.file() returns.
• Better than main, because the size is known: blob.slice(-2) is the last 2 bytes (on main it is the first 2 on linux, and empty on windows), and Bun.write(blob, Bun.file(src)) copies all of src after blob.size was read (main stops at the old size).
• Bun.write(blob, blob) on POSIX empties the file on main and resolves with 0. Here it empties the file and rejects. On Windows the file is kept, as on main. The truncation is a bug of Bun.write(file, file) on main for every file Blob, and this PR does not fix it.

The same operations on main and on this branch

A script runs 144 operations on a Blob from openAsBlob() of a file that does not change, on a build of main and on this branch. The results differ in these, and in no other:

• the changes above that come from node (type, missing and empty path, null options, structuredClone of the returned Blob), and what follows from an empty type (Bun.inspect, the Content-Type of a Response, a fetch, a FormData part and a Bun.serve response)
• a directory rejects its read with NotReadableError, and with EISDIR on main
• the 3 results that are better than main (slice(-2), the copy after size, the size of a clone of a clone)
• Bun.write(blob, blob) on POSIX, as above

On Windows the list is the same, without Bun.write(blob, blob).

Self-review

The review of the first head found 4 cases that were worse than main. All are fixed, and each has a test:

1. $`echo hi > ${blob}` left the file unchanged, and $`sh -c "echo hi" > ${blob}` did not truncate it. The shell took the Blob as an object to read. It takes it as its path again, in every position.
2. Bun.write(blob, Bun.file(src)) copied only as many bytes as the pinned file had. The size of a pin is not a limit for a copy into the file any more.
3. structuredClone() of a slice, or of new Blob([blob]), threw. Only the Blob that openAsBlob() returned throws now. The record of a clone has one more tag (PinnedFile), with the size, the mtime nanoseconds, the mode and the modification time after the path.
4. import() of the Blob URL and a Bun.Image body failed. import() takes the path again. Bun.Image reads through the pin.
5. The title and this body said "every read". They name what is compared and what is not now.

The comparison with main found one more: on Windows a copy of the file onto itself emptied it. A pinned source is copied by uv_fs_copyfile again, with a compare of the path before and after.

Not done:

• The order against Remove libuv on Windows #42819, the split, and the agreement to the design: see "Decisions for a maintainer".
• node's test/parallel/test-blob-file-backed.js is not added. It passes 5 of 6 blocks here (1 of 6 on main). The one that fails is new Blob(["a", blob, "b"]), which Blob: read file-backed parts in multi-part new Blob([...]) #33600 fixes.
• Rejected: a lint inventory of the callers of pathlike_ignoring_pin() and pathlike_for_unverified_open(). A new call shows in the diff that adds it, under a name that says what it skips. An inventory of about 60 call sites has to be generated again by each PR that moves one.

Review findings on the second head, and what commit 9cb9f8d does with them

• A stream failed at its end when the file was deleted or replaced after the last bytes were read, because the last compare was a stat of the path. Fixed: a stream compares a duplicate of its descriptor, and never the path.
• blob.exists() was true after the file was deleted. Fixed: it stats the path.
• blob.lastModified was a sentinel after a write through the Blob. Fixed.
• new Response(new Bun.Image(blob)) compared the file and then read the path, and a later terminal of the same image read the path with no compare. Fixed: the bytes are read through the pin and kept.
• The touched case of the test moved the second of the mtime too. Fixed: only the fraction moves.
• sendfile for a pinned upload: kept, with the measurement below.
• A type with a character outside U+0020 to U+007E is "": kept. The type goes into a Content-Type header as it is, and a\r\nb: c would add a header line. The Blob constructor drops such a type too.
• A file embedded in a compiled executable keeps its sniffed type and is cloneable: kept, as on main.
• A relative path is resolved again at each read: kept, as for Bun.file().
• A new test file: the tests were in fs.test.ts first. That file has 633 tests and some time out on a debug build under load, so a run of it could not show fail-before and pass-after.

Review findings on the third head, and what commit b378a65 does with them

• A stream that a native consumer drained (fetch(url, { body: blob.stream() }), an HTMLRewriter) kept the file open until the garbage collector ran. The descriptor that the stream compares was closed only when JS read the stream to its end, on a cancel, and in the finalizer. Fixed: it is closed at every end of the stream, before the consumer learns of the end.
• Found with the test for it, Windows only: the reader closes its own descriptor after it has delivered the last bytes, so a consumer saw the end of a file that was still open. Fixed: a pull that arrives before that close is parked, and the reader's done callback ends it.
• openAsBlob("s3://...") returns what Bun.file() returns: kept, as on main. The description said "throw" before, and there is a test now.

Review findings on the fourth head, and what commit cdd3292 does with them

• The compare after a read ran only when the read gave bytes. Fixed: it runs also after a read that gives no bytes and ends the file.
• A pull gives the bytes in the buffer before an error that a later read stored: kept. Those bytes were compared after their read, so they are bytes of the pinned file. A file stream on main has the same order.

Review findings on the fifth head, and what commit a2b7da5 does with them

• A reader that calls back from inside start(), for example when the registration of a poll fails, found its own descriptor in the field that the stream closes at its end. The reader closed it a second time after that. Fixed: the field has the descriptor for the compare before start() runs.
• new Response(new Bun.Image(blob)) of a Blob of a FIFO did not return, because the open of a FIFO waits for a writer. Fixed: a pinned Blob is read there only if it is a regular file. A Blob that is not, or that is over 256 MiB, fails with NotReadableError. A Bun.file() of the same path fails with ENODEV or ERR_IMAGE_TOO_MANY_PIXELS.
• The tests of a closed file waited with no limit and had an assertion that could not fail. Fixed: the wait has a deadline and names the open descriptors, and the cancel case checks the chunk that it read.

A bug on main that the tests go around

On Windows, a fetch() that streams a request body to a Bun.serve in the same process gets 400 Bad Request when a concurrent test settles a promise with expect().resolves or expect().rejects at that time. A debug build also crashes in about 1 of 10 such runs, in us_socket_is_shut_down under uWS::HttpContext::onData. It reproduces on the canary with Bun.file() only, so it does not come from this PR. The tests of a stream consumer run one at a time for that reason, in a describe of their own.

A change during a transfer

• Bun.serve compares a pinned file when it opens it for a response, not at each chunk. Measured with an 8 MiB file that is rewritten after the client got the first chunk: the client gets status 200 and all 8,388,608 bytes, of which 7.7 MB (http, sendfile) or 4.7 MB (TLS, chunked read) come from the rewritten file. Bun.file() does the same on main. A 300000-byte file arrives whole from the old contents.
• FileResponseStream has a failure path that closes the connection (fail_with), so a compare before each chunk is possible there: one fstat per chunk for a pinned file, and one pointer more in the struct (216 to 224 B, the same allocator bin). It is not in this PR. The design kept Bun.serve at one compare.
• A fetch upload by sendfile (a body of 32 KiB or more over plain http) has the same window. Without sendfile the body is read into memory and compared after the read. Measured for a 256 MiB body: 375 to 393 ms and 550 MiB peak RSS without sendfile, 120 ms and 293 MiB with it (main: 120 ms and 287 MiB). openAsBlob() is how node code uploads a file without a read of it into memory, so sendfile is kept. A compare after sendfile, on the HTTP thread in bun_http, is possible as a later change.
• Bun.write compares again after the copy and rejects, with the copied bytes left in the destination.

Differences from node that stay

• A fetch() whose pinned body changed rejects with the NotReadableError itself. node rejects with TypeError: fetch failed and the NotReadableError as cause. Bun's fetch rejects with the underlying error for every other body read failure.
• A multipart FormData body is serialized when fetch() is called, so the error is thrown from that call.
• new Blob(["a", blob, "b"]) drops the file part, for Bun.file() too, on main too (Blob: read file-backed parts in multi-part new Blob([...]) #33600).
• node-fetch's blobFrom / fileFrom are still Bun.file() aliases.
• A same-size rewrite inside one timestamp tick cannot be seen by a size and mtime-nanosecond compare. node has the same limit.
• A type that a Blob cannot have is "". node keeps it.
• A file embedded in a compiled executable is bytes in memory, so there is nothing to pin. Its Blob has the sniffed type and is cloneable, as on main.

Measurements (release builds of main 29d9638 and of this branch at a2b7da5, linux x64. gdb catch syscall, because strace, perf and valgrind are not installed here.)

• release binary (size -A): .text +15,872 B, .rodata +256 B, total +16,565 B (82,764,235 to 82,780,800).
• size_of (release), all the same on both builds: store::File 128, store::Data 136, Store 176, Blob 104 B. No struct of a reader got a field. The flag for the Blob that is not cloneable is in a padding byte of Blob, and the descriptor that a stream compares is in the fd field that FileReader has. A const assert holds the path enum at the size of PathOrFileDescriptor.
• JSFunction objects (heapStats() after Bun.gc(true)): 841 after node:fs loads on both. The first openAsBlob() call adds 17 (main: 16), the second adds 0.
• Bun.file() syscalls: 10 of 10 traced operations make the same file syscalls as main: text() at 1 B and 64 KiB, a 300000-byte stream drain, fetch bodies of 1 KiB and 64 KiB, a Bun.serve handler Response and a static route (GET and HEAD), Bun.write of 1 MiB, a FormData body, Bun.spawn stdin. sendfile and copy_file_range are still taken. The position of socket close calls varies from run to run, on main too.
• pinned syscalls: creation is 1 stat. text(): openat, fstat, read, fstat, close. A 300000-byte stream: openat, fstat, fcntl (the duplicate), then fstat, pread64, fstat for each of 2 reads, 1 fstat at the end, close. A 64 KiB fetch body: openat, 1 fstat, sendfile. A 1 KiB fetch body and a FormData entry: openat, fstat, read, fstat, read, fstat, close. A Bun.serve Response: openat, 1 fstat, read, close. Bun.write of 1 MiB: openat source, fstat, openat destination, fstat, copy_file_range, fstat, close, close. Bun.spawn stdin: openat, fstat, no read in the parent.
• Bun.spawn with a 256 MiB stdin: the call takes 0.5 ms for a pinned Blob and 0.4 ms for a Bun.file(). RSS goes from 27 to 30 MiB.
• allocations (mimalloc totals over fixed loops, 3 runs each): 100000 x Bun.file(p) 395.8 K on both. 10000 x FormData body 193.4 K to 193.5 K on both. 100000 x fs.openAsBlob(p) 393.4 K on main, 494.7 K here: +1 allocation and +113 B per call.
• hot functions, bun-profile, main to this branch (bytes, instructions, conditional jumps): ReadFile::run_async_with_fd 2707 to 3135, 500 to 568, 47 to 50. ReadFile::do_read_loop 2872 to 3408, 605 to 701, 71 to 80. FileReader::on_start 3323 to 4305, 790 to 1025, 110 to 134. FileRoute::on 3718 to 4178, 809 to 899, 94 to 103. do_sendfile 4539 to 4586, 962 to 954, 107 to 106. CopyFile::do_close 359 to 522, 98 to 141, 11 to 14. Stdio::extract_blob 927 to 1042, 239 to 258, 32 to 32. handle_template_value (shell) 2974 to 2989, 652 to 659, 91 to 92. resolve_file_stat 815 to 304. There is no executed-instruction count (no perf, no valgrind). On the Bun.file() path a reader runs one test for the pin that is not taken.

Accessors of store::File

• source(): for a read of the contents. Lazy(pathlike) or Pinned(pin).
• pathlike_ignoring_pin(): for a write, for metadata, and for a caller that takes the Blob as a path (the shell, import()). It is the old pathlike field for every use that is not a read through the Blob.
• pin(stat): makes a lazy path a pinned one in place. fs.openAsBlob() is its one caller.
• fd(), display_path(), lazy_path(), lazy_pathlike(), pinned(): narrower views of the first two.
• PinnedFile::pathlike_for_unverified_open(): for ReadFile and ReadFileUV, whose open and fstat are separate steps. They pass that fstat to verify().

Open PRs on the same code

• Remove libuv on Windows #42819 (remove libuv on Windows): see "Decisions for a maintainer".
• Bun.write(file, file): check the source before opening the destination #38186 (Bun.write checks the source before it opens the destination) makes the order that this PR takes for a pinned source the order for every source.
• Honor Bun.file().slice() bounds in Bun.write #41209 (slice bounds in Bun.write and Bun.spawn stdin): a slice of a pinned Blob is copied whole, as a slice of a Bun.file() is on main.
• Blob, Bun.file: remove unsafe from Blob.rs, read_file.rs, copy_file.rs and Store.rs #40221 touches the same files.

Windows

• FileReader compares after each chunk with a synchronous fstat of a duplicate of the handle inside the libuv read completion, as node does. ReadFileUV does its compare as an asynchronous uv_fs_fstat step. If the synchronous compare should be asynchronous too, that is Windows-only code on top of this PR.
• CopyFileWindows copies a pinned source with uv_fs_copyfile, as it copies a Bun.file(). It compares the path before and after the copy. The copy by a read and write loop (a destination that is a pipe) reads the verified descriptor.
• The compare after a copy has a test on POSIX only. The test holds the copy open with a FIFO that is smaller than the file, and Windows has none.
• A file that is open cannot be renamed over on Windows, on main too. So the test of a replaced file runs on POSIX only.

Test runs

• linux x64: fs-open-as-blob.test.ts 38 pass on the debug build and on the release build. Also pass on this head: streams.test.js, blob.test.ts, blob-write.test.ts, structured-clone-blob-file.test.ts, image.test.ts, FormData.test.ts, bun-file.test.ts, bun-file-read.test.ts, filesink.test.ts, bun-serve-file.test.ts, bun-serve-static.test.ts, bun-write.test.js, worker_blob.test.ts, bunshell-file.test.ts, and the source lints.
• On the debug build, while the machine is under load, some tests that spawn processes pass the 5 s limit only on the release build: in bun-write.test.js, bun-serve-file.test.ts (the pollable tests), streams.test.js (Bun.spawn({ stdin: s })) and fetch.stream.test.ts. The debug build of the head before does the same, and the release builds of main and of this branch pass them all.
• windows x64, debug build: fs-open-as-blob.test.ts 36 pass, 1 skip (the FIFO test), in 8 of 8 runs. Also pass: streams.test.js, blob.test.ts, structured-clone-blob-file.test.ts, image.test.ts, bun-serve-file.test.ts, FormData.test.ts. bun-write.test.js passes 74 of 75: Bun.write() without uv_fs_copyfile runs a nested bun test with a 10 s limit that a debug build does not meet, and all 74 pass when that run is made directly.
• bun run rust:check-all passes on 12 targets. cargo clippy and mordant (at the revision of main) pass.

Earlier work this builds on: #40343 (the native creator entry and the type handling) and #43112 (the stat_file / apply_file_stat split, the compare at the existing fstat, reading the FormData entry by descriptor).

[robobun]

Reproduced #43109 with the script from the issue. bun 1.4.3 (canary) prints blob.size: 8 and text(): "swapped!". node v26.3.0 prints blob.size: 5 and rejects with NotReadableError. test/js/node/fs/fs-open-as-blob.test.ts has 38 tests: 29 fail on main, and all pass on this branch on linux and on windows.

This PR holds the whole change, against main. #43894 and #43906 are closed as part of it.

Commit b378a65 fixes a descriptor that a stream of the Blob kept open until the garbage collector ran, when a native consumer drained the stream (a fetch body, an HTMLRewriter). The PR body lists each review finding and what was done with it.

The release binary grows by 16.2 KB. The PR body has a table of where the bytes are.

Four decisions are for a maintainer. The PR body has the details under "Decisions for a maintainer":

1. The order against Remove libuv on Windows #42819, which deletes the Windows code that this PR edits.
2. One PR, or the creation part (closes fs.openAsBlob() infers MIME from the file extension; Node leaves blob.type === "" #40339) as its own PR first.
3. The design: the path of store::File is private, so that each use says if it is a read.
4. sendfile for an upload of a pinned Blob: kept, so a change during the transfer is not seen. Without it a 256 MiB upload takes 3 times as long and 263 MiB more memory.

Walkthrough

fs.openAsBlob validates its arguments and creates a Blob backed by captured file metadata. Blob reads and file operations verify the backing file and reject with NotReadableError when verification fails. The change also updates serialization, process stdio, server handling, and integration tests.

Changes

Pinned file Blob

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pinned file model and creation src/jsc/webcore_types.rs, src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs, src/runtime/webcore/blob/Store.rs, src/runtime/node/node_fs_binding.rs, src/js/node/fs.ts	File stores now represent lazy and pinned sources with captured metadata. fs.openAsBlob validates options and creates pinned Blobs. Serialization records pinned-file metadata and rejects cloning when marked non-cloneable.
Verified Blob read paths src/runtime/webcore/FileReader.rs, src/runtime/webcore/blob/read_file.rs, src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs, src/runtime/webcore/fetch.rs, src/runtime/socket/SSLConfig.rs, src/runtime/image/Image.rs	Blob readers and consumers verify pinned files around reads. Pinned-file failures become NotReadableError.
Verified copies, writes, and serving src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs, src/runtime/webcore/blob/write_file.rs, src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs, src/runtime/server/FileRoute.rs, src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs, src/runtime/server/server_body.rs	Copy and server paths open or verify pinned sources and reuse verified stat data. Write paths use pin-aware path accessors.
Process stdio and runtime integrations src/runtime/api/bun/spawn/stdio.rs, src/runtime/api/bun/subprocess/*, src/runtime/api/BunObject.rs, src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs, src/runtime/shell/*	Blob-backed stdio supports owned descriptors, and pinned stdin is opened and verified. Stdio construction, shell paths, and loader paths use the updated file-store APIs.
API and integration coverage test/js/node/fs/fs-open-as-blob.test.ts, test/internal/source-lints/vm-thread-door.inventory.json	Tests cover validation, MIME types, reads after file changes, cloning, and integration with fetch, serving, writes, stdio, TLS, shell, imports, and image APIs.

Explanation

The PR satisfies #43109. fs.openAsBlob() records file metadata, verifies pinned files before and after reads, rejects changed or missing files, and covers read, stream, and integration paths with tests. The PR does not fully satisfy #40339. src/js/node/fs.ts passes options.type to the native pin implementation, but the implementation still rejects characters outside U+0020–U+007E and stores an empty type. The test explicitly expects "a\r\nb: c" to become empty. #40339 requires an explicitly supplied type to remain verbatim.

Resolution

Change fs.openAsBlob() type handling so an explicitly supplied type is preserved verbatim, including characters outside U+0020–U+007E, while omitted types remain empty and filename MIME sniffing remains disabled. Update the regression test to assert the Node-compatible result.

[claude]

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the shell and spawn arms: ${blob} interpolation in shell_body.rs still resolves to the path via pathlike_ignoring_pin(), and the new Stdio::OwnedFd from open_verified on the stdin slot is closed in Drop and only used for index 0, so no fd is leaked or reused there.

One thing for a human to weigh: node's openAsBlob is an async function, so its validation and stat errors arrive as rejections, while src/js/node/fs.ts now throws them synchronously and test/js/node/fs/fs-open-as-blob.test.ts:200-212 asserts the synchronous throw.

Extended reasoning...

The change reimplements fs.openAsBlob across 24 files, making store::File's path private and adding a pinned size/mtime verification to every file-store reader (read_file, FileReader streams, copy_file, fetch, server bodies, spawn stdio, TLS config, Image), plus a 447-line new test file. It touches no auth or crypto surface beyond passing TLS option files through the new verified-open path. The bug hunt was cut off at its finding cap with eight posted findings and more unposted, so approval is not on the table; the note records the spawn/shell arms I read myself and the sync-throw delivery channel that differs from node's async function.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

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

• 🔴 src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs — Callers of blob.exists() on an fs.openAsBlob Blob get true after the file was deleted; on the base branch the same call returns false. construct_open_as_blob calls blob.resolve_size() at src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5678, so get_exists_sync at Blob.rs:1325 never stats again and answers from the file.mode frozen at pin time (Blob.rs:1343). The PR table says exists() goes "by path". Fix: exists() and stat() on a pinned store must stat the path (or check the pin with recheck_path) instead of trusting the cached mode, for every caller of get_exists_sync.

  Why this was flagged

  A user calls fs.openAsBlob(p), later deletes or renames p, then calls blob.exists() (a Bun extension on Blob). On base, openAsBlob returned Bun.file(p) whose size is MAX_SIZE until first read, so get_exists_sync (src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:1325-1327) runs resolve_size and stats the path, returning false for a missing file. On this branch construct_open_as_blob runs blob.resolve_size() at creation (src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5678) and apply_file_stat sets file.mode (Blob.rs:5670), so size != MAX_SIZE, no stat is issued, and Blob.rs:1343 returns S::ISREG(file.mode) == true forever. The PR description's table claims exists() is "by path" for a pinned Blob, so the dismissal ("pre_existing") compared against a Bun.file that had already been read, not against what openAsBlob returned on base. Any code that guards a read with if (await blob.exists()) then gets a NotReadableError rejection instead of a clean false. Remedy: for a pinned store, get_exists_sync should stat the path (or call PinnedFile::recheck_path) rather than use the cached mode.

  Verification: normal (small surface, but a wrong result on a path the PR description claims goes "by path"). Trigger: await fs.openAsBlob(p), then unlink/rename p, then blob.exists(). Mechanism verified in /home/claude/bun/src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs: - construct_open_as_blob stats once, builds store::File::init_pinned(...), calls apply_file_stat(&mut file, &stat) (sets `file.mode =… | nit —…

• 🟡 src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs — A caller who passes a type with a non-printable-ASCII character gets blob.type === "", while node keeps the string verbatim. src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:556-558 maps any type failing is_valid_blob_type to MimeType::NONE. Node's createBlob(handle, length, options?.type) stores options.type unvalidated, so openAsBlob(p, { type: "text/plain; x=é" }) differs. Fix: keep the given type verbatim whenever it is a non-empty string, dropping the is_valid_blob_type filter here (the PR text itself says the type is kept verbatim). [also at: src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5563 - nit: callers of fs.openAsBlob(path, { type }) get blob.type === "" for any type containing a byte outside 0x20..0x7E, where node returns the string verbatim.; src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5667 - nit: a caller passing openAsBlob(path, { type }) with any non-printable-ASCII character (for example a non-ASCII byte) gets blob.type === "", while node keeps the string verbatim.]

  Why this was flagged

  fs.openAsBlob(path, { type }) with a type containing a byte outside 0x20..0x7E (a non-ASCII charset parameter, a tab) reaches construct_open_as_blob at src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:552. Line 556 tests slice.is_empty() || !is_valid_blob_type(slice) and line 557 replaces the value with bun_http_types::MimeType::NONE, so the resulting Blob reports type === "" and a Response or fetch body of it sends no Content-Type. Node's createBlobFromFilePath calls createBlob(blob, length, options?.type), which assigns this[kType] = type with no character check, so node reports the string as given. On the base branch Bun.file(path, { type }) kept the type through content_type_was_set, so this narrows accepted types relative to both node and main.

  Verification: nit — triggers when a caller passes fs.openAsBlob(path, { type }) whose type contains any byte outside 0x20..0x7E (a non-ASCII parameter, a tab). Mechanism verified at /home/claude/bun/src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5634-5635 (the candidate's "556-558" are diff-hunk offsets; the file lines are 5631-5644): if slice.is_empty() || !is_valid_blob_type(slice) { bun_http_types::MimeType::NONE },…

Replies to the review findings that have no thread of their own. Commit 9cb9f8d has the changes.

• blob.exists() after the file is deleted. Fixed. exists() of a pinned Blob does a stat of the path, so it is false again once the file is gone. The test writes to the file through the Blob, and then fails its reads covers it.
• A type with a character outside U+0020 to U+007E. Kept as "". The type goes into the Content-Type header of a fetch or a Response as it is, so a type such as a\r\nb: c adds a header line. The Blob constructor drops such a type too. On main the alias gives the sniffed type for it, so no type that was kept before is lost. node keeps the string, and the PR notes list this as a difference that stays.
• A synchronous throw. node throws synchronously too. In node v26.3.0 fs.openAsBlob is a plain function (fs.openAsBlob.constructor.name is Function), and a missing path, null options and a non-string type all throw from the call. None of them is a rejection.
• The touched case of the test. Changed as proposed: the second stays, and only the fraction moves.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Return the stored pin error before draining buffered bytes.

When an asynchronous read detects a changed pinned file while no pull is pending, deliver_error stores the error. On the next pull, on_pull drains self.buffered before checking the stored error. The read can therefore succeed after the file changes. Discard buffered bytes and return the stored error before calling drain().

Replies to the findings on b378a65 that have no thread of their own.

• A stored error and the bytes in the buffer. Not changed. The stream compares the file after each read, before the bytes of that read go into its buffer. So what a pull takes from the buffer are bytes of the pinned file, and the error that a later read stored comes with the next pull. A file stream on main gives its buffered bytes before a stored read error in the same order. node also hands out a chunk that it queued before the change.
• A type with a character outside U+0020 to U+007E. Not changed, for the reason in the earlier comment: the type goes into a Content-Type header as it is, and a\r\nb: c would add a header line. fs.openAsBlob() infers MIME from the file extension; Node leaves blob.type === "" #40339 asks for no sniffing and for an explicit type with no charset added. Both hold: the test keeps the size and does not sniff the type has the cases of the issue.
• The red cargo clippy and mordant checks. They do not come from this PR. Both jobs run on the merge with main, and main does not compile off Windows at 01123b4: src/runtime/socket/Listener.rs:849 matches ListenerType::NamedPipe, a variant that exists on Windows only. The same two checks are red on the other PRs since about 23:15 UTC. Buildkite builds the branch itself: build 120766 passed all 183 jobs for b378a65, macOS included.
