What does this PR do?

Fix macOS fs.copyFile for regular-file sources addressed through /dev/fd, including symlink aliases. Above 128 KiB, Bun falls back from cloning to Darwin's pathname-based copyfile, which rejects the devfs path with EBADF. Below that threshold, the read/write path consumes the caller's shared descriptor offset.

After an unsuccessful clone, use the bounded copy loop for devfs sources. Make the copyFile loop read positionally from byte zero, preserving the source descriptor's offset. Keep the sequential reader for Bun.write and fs.cp. Forced cloning still fails, and exclusive copies preserve the destination.

This is limited to copyFile's sync, callback and promise APIs. Node 24's cpSync consumes a descriptor offset, so the separate cp behavior is outside this change. No performance claim is made.

How did you verify your code works?

Built release binaries on macOS arm64 from upstream main 9bd19c98eacc01530a4e7609bc427abffa87d77e and this branch. Main fails 39 copyFile cases covering contents, descriptor offsets, the 128-KiB boundary, aliases and exclusivity. The three forced-clone controls and the pipe fallback control pass on both. The branch passes 43 focused tests; the complete fs and Bun.write files pass 727 tests, 20 skips, 0 failures.

bun scripts/build.ts --profile=release --lto=off test --expose-internals test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js --max-concurrency 2

Node 24.21.0 passes all 42 copyFile byte/offset/clone/exclusion oracle cases. Its forced-clone refusal uses ENOSYS; Bun's existing EINVAL is retained and is not claimed as exact errno parity. Both Bun builds used the same local SDK signpost-warning compatibility patch, excluded from this diff. Formatting and independent review through P2 pass.

rust:check-all passes all 12 targets, 0 failures, 0 skips, with BUN_CODEGEN_DIR pointing to the release build’s generated files. The first invocation used the default debug codegen path and failed because those generated files did not exist; no source change was needed.

AOT-main rebase validation

Rebased onto upstream main 11c367163a4baa77d3627d14764c376c856a630a. Mechanically rebased; platform test not rerun. Linux x64 full files pass: Bun.write 104 passed / four skipped, fs 629 passed / 50 skipped, zero failures. The macOS-only regressions are skipped on Linux. With matching debug-generated bindings, rust:check-all passes all 12 target configurations with zero failed or skipped. Formatting passes. No fresh macOS runtime result is claimed.

The release build uses bun run build:release --lto=off. Its executable revision matches b358ace5058681dde57754dda8e365b3d4f2dfc1. Independent P0–P2 review passes. Earlier platform results above are historical; this rebase's fresh validation is scoped to the results here.

Walkthrough

The macOS copy path now uses positional reads in its read/write fallback. It selects that fallback based on file size and, after a failed clone attempt, whether the source is on devfs. New macOS tests cover /dev/fd copies and a Bun.write fallback.

Changes

macOS file copy fallback

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sequential and positional copy reads src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs	The shared copy implementation retains sequential reads and adds positional reads at the number of bytes already written.
macOS copy path selection src/runtime/node/node_fs.rs	Files at or below 128 KiB use read/write. For larger files, the path tries clonefile; if it fails and the source is on devfs, the path uses read/write with positional reads.
Copy and write regression tests test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts, test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js	macOS tests cover /dev/fd sources through sync, callback, and promise APIs, and a Bun.write case where interposed fcopyfile returns EBADF.

Assert that the fcopyfile interposer ran.

The test passes when Bun.write bypasses fcopyfile. The test asserts the exit code, the reported byte count, and the output contents. None of these checks shows that fail_fcopyfile ran. A regression that routes piped stdin around the EBADF fallback can leave the test green. The test then no longer covers the fallback it names.

Record each interposer call in a file path passed through an environment variable. Assert that the file exists after the child exits.
