Conversation
…never writes the shared Store clone() stat'd the path of every file body to pick between duping the Blob and teeing one stream, and cached that stat on the Store. The Store is shared with the other body and with the user's Bun.file(), so clone() froze what size, lastModified, exists() and a later .body answer, and made a procfs file read "". A directory body made clone() throw. A Blob body is now duped unless its store is a file descriptor, with no stat. An unread file stream body still stats its path to keep the tee for a FIFO, but the stat stays local.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the rewritten store_reads_repeatably for a polarity change on stat failure: the old path left seekable as None when resolve_file_stat failed and then answered None != Some(false) (true), and the new path returns true in the same case, so the stream arm's behaviour for a missing path is preserved. The &store.data borrow held across bun_sys::stat is on the JS thread where the only writer (resolve_file_stat) also runs, so I did not find a race there.
Extended reasoning...
The PR changes the Blob arm of Request/Response body clone() in src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs to tee only fd-backed stores, and rewrites store_reads_repeatably in src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs to stat uncached instead of writing the shared Store; no security-sensitive surface is touched. The inline findings already flag the FIFO/dev-stdin tee regression that the author asked a maintainer to decide on, so a human look is needed regardless; this note only records the two adjacent concerns examined and ruled out.

src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs— Users who clone a Response or Request whose body isBun.file(dir).stream()still get a synchronous throw out ofclone()ornew Request(request), while the sibling Blob form now rejects on read. src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs:389 seesstore_reads_repeatablyreturn false for the directory, returns None, and Body.rs:1568 tees a file stream whose reader cannot open the directory. The same happens when an earlierf.sizecachedseekable == Some(false)at Blob.rs:5857. Fix: make both arms agree; when the tee's file reader cannot start, dupe the Blob so both bodies reject with EISDIR on read, as the new directory test expects for the Blob form.Why this was flagged

Body.rs:389 callsstore_reads_repeatably; Blob.rs:5857 or Blob.rs:5862 answers false, so Body.rs:390 returns None and Body.rs:1568 callsself.tee, which starts a FileReader over a directory and throws EISDIR out ofclone(). The PR's new test at test/js/web/fetch/body-clone.test.ts:1256-1264 assertsclone()does not throw for the Blob form, so after merge the two forms of the same input diverge:new Response(Bun.file(dir)).clone()returns and both bodies reject,new Response(Bun.file(dir).stream()).clone()throws synchronously from a constructor. The dismissal called this pre-existing, which is true for the throw itself, but the PR introduces the inconsistency between sibling arms and documents 'clone() does no I/O and does not throw' only for one of them.

🔴 Users who clone a Response or Request whose body is Bun.file(fifo) or Bun.file("/dev/stdin") now get a body that hangs or reads empty; on the base branch both bodies read the whole input. The Blob arm at src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs:1582 gates the tee on store_is_fd only, so a path naming a FIFO or tty is duped and both bodies open and compete for the one stream. Fix: keep teeing any Blob body whose store is known not to read repeatably, at least honouring a cached file.seekable == Some(false) (no I/O) and, for a fresh path, an uncached stat via store_reads_repeatably, so a FIFO or character device given by path is still read once and teed. The PR lists this as a downside needing a maintainer's yes; the consequence is an unsettled promise, not a wrong value.
Why this was flagged
A user creates new Response(Bun.file(fifoPath)) (or a Request with that body, or new Request(request)) and calls .clone(), then reads both bodies. Before this diff, src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs:1579 asked blob::store_reads_repeatably, which stat'd the path, saw it is not a regular file, and the body was turned into one stream and teed, so both .text() calls resolved with the full input. After the diff, src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs:1582 only checks blob::store_is_fd (src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5836), which is false for a path, so the Blob is duped at Body.rs:1588 and each body opens the FIFO on its own read. The two readers split the writer's bytes; the PR's own measurements report 0/10 runs where both bodies read the input and 9/10 where a body never settles, and for Bun.file("/dev/stdin") one body reads "". The cached mode is also ignored: when f.size was read first, file.seekable is already Some(false) on the store, yet the Blob arm never consults it, so even the no-I/O signal that the store is a FIFO is discarded. The existing test at…
Verification: normal — acknowledged in diff: the Body.rs comment at lines 1579-1581 ("a FIFO given by path as the Blob is not detected") and the PR description ("Needs a maintainer's yes ... Main tees it (both bodies read in 10/10 runs, here 0/10)") flag exactly this regression; the author's own numbers (0/10, "9 do not settle") match the hang the candidate describes, so the note is accurate but it…

This is the trade that the description asks a maintainer to decide. I leave this thread open for that decision. The facts:
- bun 1.4.2 and earlier dupe a FIFO given by path as the Blob, and the two bodies compete there too (both bodies get the bytes in 0 of 10 runs). Only main tees it, since webcore: clone() keeps the Blob behind an unread native body stream instead of teeing it #42053. No release has that behaviour.
- To tee it,
clone()must know what the path names. An uncached stat costs 1newfstataton the JS thread for every clone of everyBun.file(path)body: 1000 per 1000 clones on main, 0 in this PR and in 1.4.2. A cached stat is the cause of the bug that this PR fixes. - An earlier version of this branch used only an already cached
seekable == Some(false). That madeclone()depend on earlier, unrelated calls:new Response(Bun.file("/dev/null")).clone()read""on a fresh handle and rejected withEPERMafterf.size. Neither main nor 1.4.2 has that dependence, so I removed it. .stream()bodies, file descriptors andBun.stdinare still teed.
If the FIFO cell must stay, the Blob arm can call store_reads_repeatably() again. That is a one-line change. It costs the stat per clone, and a /dev/null body rejects with EPERM again until #41621 lands.

A correction to my reply above. A call to store_reads_repeatably() from the Blob arm does not keep the rest of this PR. Its rule is "regular file", so a directory body would go to the tee again and clone() would throw EISDIR, as on main.
If the answer is no, the Blob arm needs the narrower rule: one uncached stat, and a tee only for a FIFO or a character device. An earlier head of this work has that shape (fca76ae0b8 on the branch robobun/a30ca3d2/clone-procfs-stat). The cost:
- 1
newfstatatper Blob-body clone. For one shared handle that is 1000 per 1000 clones, where main pays 1. - A
/dev/nullbody rejects withEPERMagain until Read a character device synchronously when the kernel refuses to poll it #41621 lands.
The directory fix and the unfrozen size, lastModified and exists() stay in that shape. The PR description now says the same.

Tee every file-backed Blob from one lazy reader.
Response.clone() reaches Value::clone_with_readable_stream. A path-backed FIFO is not store_is_fd, so it is duplicated as a path. When both bodies are consumed, each reader can open the FIFO separately and consume different bytes.
Use ReadableStream::from_blob_copy_ref for every file-backed store, then tee the resulting stream. This avoids stat, open, and read during clone while preserving one FIFO source.
Suggested fix
- // No stat here: a path is duped as it is, so a FIFO given by path is not detected.
- if b.store().is_some_and(blob::store_is_fd) {
- // A pipe or other fd yields its bytes once: read it as one
- // stream and tee that.

…swers or throws for a body that cannot be read (#44504) ### What does this PR do? Fixes regressions on main from #42053, which is in no release. Replaces #43916. ```js const f = Bun.file(path); // 5 bytes new Response(f).clone(); // nothing reads a body await Bun.write(path, "123456789"); f.size; // 1.4.2: 9, main: 5 ``` After `clone()` of a body that is a `Bun.file(path)`: | | 1.4.2 | main | this PR | |---|---|---|---| | file grows 5 to 9 bytes, then `f.size` | 9 | 5 | 9 | | same, then `new Response(f).body`, or `.body` of either clone | `123456789` | `12345` | `123456789` | | `f.lastModified` after `utimes`, `f.exists()` after `unlink` | fresh | stale | fresh | | the path is a directory | both bodies reject with `EISDIR` | `clone()` throws | both bodies reject with `EISDIR` | | `Bun.file(fd)` of a directory, or of an fd that is not open | both bodies reject (`EISDIR`, `EBADF`) | `clone()` throws | both bodies reject (`EISDIR`, `EBADF`) | | a procfs file: both bodies and `f.text()` | whole | `""` | whole | The same holds for `Request.clone()`, `new Request(request)`, `new Request(request, init)` and `new Request(url, response)`. **Cause.** `clone()` has to know whether a path names something that yields its bytes once (a pipe, a terminal), because two Blobs over that would compete and the body is teed instead. #42053 asks with `resolve_file_stat`, which writes `mode`, `seekable`, `max_size` and `last_modified` on the `Store`. The body shares that `Store` with the `Bun.file()` it was made from, and nothing invalidates those fields, so `clone()` became one more call that freezes them. Separately, its rule was "tee whatever is not a regular file", and a tee over a directory cannot start. **Fix.** `store_yields_bytes_once` (new, `src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs`) answers for a Blob body, and `Value::clone_with_readable_stream` calls it in place of `store_reads_repeatably`. - It keeps the mode it stats in a field of its own, `mode_seen_by_clone`, which nothing else reads. That is the fix for the stale answers and for procfs. - It does not count a directory as yielding bytes once, by path or by fd, nor an fd that `fstat` fails for. There are no bytes to compete for, so the body is duped like a regular file and each body fails when it is read, as in 1.4.2. A failed `clone()` on main also leaves the original body used. - For an fd it asks with `resolve_file_stat`, which is what the tee of an fd does next (`to_readable_stream` resolves the size). So the `fstat` only moves earlier, and an fd body is cached as on main. - It still stats once per `Store` and still uses a stat that `size` or `.body` cached earlier, so `clone()` makes the same syscalls as on main. **Kept from #42053:** a body over an fd, `Bun.stdin`, a FIFO by path and a terminal by path is teed, and a cloned `Bun.file().stream()` body keeps its type. **This is a partial fix.** The arm for an unread `.stream()` body is not touched, so `new Response(f.stream()).clone()` still caches the stat: `f.size` and the rest stay stale after it, and a procfs `.stream()` body reads `""`. Taking the cache away there makes the bodies, which #42053 turns back into Blobs, behave in ways that neither 1.4.2 nor main has. Most of those are the right value, but `console.log` of a cloned `slice().stream()` body would print `0.0 ZB`. That needs its own decision, so it is left out. **Nothing that main answers correctly after a `clone()` gets worse.** Main has two answers right only because `clone()` writes the cache. Taking the write away alone would bring two older bugs back for code that clones, so they are fixed where they are: - `f.exists()` stayed `false` for good once a stat had failed, with or without a `clone()` (`await f.exists()`, create the file, `await f.exists()`). `get_exists_sync` now stats again while no stat has succeeded. - `console.log` of a `Response` or `Request` over `Bun.file(p).slice(1, 4)` prints `0.0 ZB` until something stats the file, and on main `clone()` was that something. `get_size_for_bindings` now also accepts the mode `clone()` saw, so a cloned slice prints `3 bytes` as on main. - `0.0 ZB` is `u64::MAX`, "unknown", run through the byte formatter. It is no longer printed: `Response {` and `Request {` carry no size when it is unknown. This is what makes the label right for a file that was deleted after the clone, where main prints the size it had. - Printing such a body left the 0 of the failed stat in it. The next `console.log` would then have printed `0 KB`, and `text()` read `""` even after the file was created, with or without a `clone()`, on 1.4.2 too. `get_size_for_bindings` no longer keeps that 0. A slice that was never cloned still has no size that `console.log` can print. It printed `0.0 ZB` and now prints none. An empty file and a procfs file give the same `stat`, so cutting the slice to `st_size` gets one of them wrong, and I left that alone. **Why not #43916.** It drops the stat for a Blob body, so a FIFO or a terminal given by path as the Blob is duped again and one body gets nothing. It stats uncached for a `.stream()` body, which costs 1000 `newfstatat` per 1000 clones of streams from one shared `Bun.file()`, where main pays 1. And it has the new behaviours described under "partial fix". ### How did you verify your code works? Tests, each run on a debug build of main, on this branch and on 1.4.2: | | main | here | 1.4.2 | |---|---|---|---| | `body-clone.test.ts`, 12 regression tests: `size` and a later `.body` through each of the five ways to clone, `lastModified` and `exists()`, both bodies after the file grew, the size `console.log` prints, a procfs file, a directory by path and by fd, an fd that is not open | fail | pass | 11 pass, the printed size fails | | `body-clone.test.ts`, 3 tests that pin what main has right: a FIFO given by path as the Blob itself is teed, so is a regular file given by fd, and `exists()` sees a file that was created before the clone | pass | pass | fail | | `bun-file-exists.test.js`, 2 tests: one `Bun.file()` sees a file that is created after `exists()` or `size` found none | fail | pass | fail | | `inspect.test.js`, 2 tests: no size is printed for a missing file or a directory, and printing a body whose file does not exist yet leaves it as it is | fail | pass | fail | With the `is_fd` clause of `store_yields_bytes_once` disabled, the fd test is the only one in `body-clone.test.ts` that fails. A differential run on Linux x64 of this branch against a debug build of main at the same base. It crosses 12 kinds of body (regular, empty, large, symlink, missing, directory, `/dev/null`, procfs, fd of a file, fd of a directory, fd that is not open, in-memory Blob), 4 earlier reads of the handle, 6 body forms, the 5 ways to clone plus 2 controls that do not clone, up to 12 changes to the file before or after the clone, and 29 observations, each in a fresh directory with a fresh handle. Two of them do a thing twice: print twice, and print and then read. The rule it checks: **a row that differs from main has to be correct**, not merely what an older version did. Each scenario records what is on disk at that moment (existence, size, mtime, content). A changed row has to match that, or, where no such truth can be derived, what the same scenario answers without a `clone()`. A row where main matches the truth and this branch does not is reported as a regression on its own.

All fail on main, 11 still with Bun.file: read a regular file whose st_size is 0 instead of returning empty #43871 and Leave a body stream unsized when the file's st_size is 0 #41593 merged.Background
Bun.file()body is aBlobwhoseStoreholds the path and a never-invalidated stat cache.clone()dupes a Blob, or tees one stream when two Blobs would compete for the bytes (an fd, a pipe).newfstatatper clone. Bun.file: read a regular file whose st_size is 0 instead of returning empty #43871 and Leave a body stream unsized when the file's st_size is 0 #41593 change readers, notclone().Downsides

clone()of aBun.file(fd)body goes throughto_readable_stream(), which caches thefstaton the store (f.sizestays 5 after growth, a procfs fd reads""on both bodies). The fix belongs at the stream sizing site that Leave a body stream unsized when the file's st_size is 0 #41593 and Blob: resolve_size applies resolved_size #43897 are changing, so it waits for them.Bun.file(dir).stream(), an fd of a directory, a closed fd) still throws out ofclone().

In a trial merge with each of #43862, #43871, #41593 and #43897 the source files merge without conflicts.
body-clone.test.tshas one conflict with #43862, #43871 and #41593: each PR adds or edits an import next to the same line. #43871's test comment says "clone() stats the file to learn whether it can be read twice". After this PR that holds for.stream()bodies only.Suites run on the debug+ASAN build
