Conversation
`bun completions` formatted the bunx symlink path and the `.zshrc` line through `bstr::BStr` into fixed buffers with writers that panic. A byte that is not UTF-8 became U+FFFD, so the command used a different path. A value that did not fit aborted with `buf_print_z: buffer too small`. The `.zshrc` lookup and the completions path were written into a path buffer with no length test. The link paths, the `.zshrc` path and the `.zshrc` line are now a `strings::concat_buf_t` of raw bytes. The completions path is joined with `resolve_path::join_z_buf_checked`. A location that does not fit is skipped, like one that does not exist. `buf_print_z_infallible` has no other caller and is removed. The tests take the length limits from `MAX_PATH_BYTES`. On macOS the private executable of the bunx tests is a clone, because the realpath of a hardlink can name another link there.

bunx symlink paths and validation src/runtime/cli/install_completions_command.rs, test/cli/bun.test.ts |
Unix bunx installation constructs candidate paths with checked byte concatenation and skips paths that cannot be constructed. Tests cover candidate locations, maximum path boundaries, and invalid UTF-8 paths. |
Zsh completion paths and configuration src/bun_core/fmt.rs, src/bun_core/output.rs, src/runtime/cli/install_completions_command.rs, test/cli/bun.test.ts |
Zsh completion and .zshrc paths use checked byte-buffer construction. The infallible formatting helper was removed. Guidance is printed as byte segments, and print_error_bytes writes raw bytes to stderr. Tests cover path limits, hint detection, and raw-byte paths. |

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 that the restructured bunx candidate loop is byte-for-byte equivalent to the old format strings (bun_core::dirname of a root-level executable returns /, so //bunx is produced in both versions, and a trailing-slash $BUN_INSTALL still gives //bin/bunx), that concat_buf_t counts the explicit NUL so a 4095-byte link path is the longest accepted, and that buf[read..] is empty when pread_all fills the whole buffer (the /dev/zero case), which yields the hint rather than an index panic.
Extended reasoning...
The change touches only the completions installer's path construction and a dead bun_core::fmt helper, replacing panicking formatters with raw-byte concatenation that skips an over-long location; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. Two inline findings are posted (a pre-existing U+FFFD .zshrc line is not repaired, and the new bunx tests run serially), so the body only records the refactor-equivalence and overflow-arithmetic checks that were examined and ruled out.

src/runtime/cli/install_completions_command.rs— Users on Linux with a non-UTF-8 $HOME who ranbun upgradeon 1.4.0-1.4.3 keep a broken .zshrc line and get no repair and no hint from this fix. Their .zshrc holds a "# bun completions" block whose path has U+FFFD bytes; the marker check at src/runtime/cli/install_completions_command.rs:503 short-circuits withbreak 'brk false, so the corrected raw-byte line is never appended and nothing is printed. The PR exists to fix exactly this population, yet for anyone who already hit the bug it is a silent no-op. Fix: when the marker is found butstrings::contains(contents, completions_path)is false, print the hint (or rewrite the stale line) so the user learns the existing line is wrong.Why this was flagged
Trigger: $HOME with a Latin-1 byte (e.g. /home/jos\xE9), zsh, a .zshrc written by 1.4.x
bun upgradecontaining "# bun completions" and a source line with EF BF BD in the path; entry through exec() :452 then :495-507. The check at :503 matches on the marker alone and breaks false, so neither the new concat at :513 nor the hint at :537 runs; stderr shows only "Installed completions to". The base behaves the same at this line, but the base also produced the broken line; this diff ships the fix for that population and leaves them in the broken state with no signal. The PR's Downsides section names a manual repair the user has no way to learn about from the tool. Population: every Linux user with a non-UTF-8 home who upgraded through 1.4.x, on every laterbun upgrade. Remedy: treat marker-present-but-path-absent as needing the hint.Verification: Pre-existing; acknowledged in diff. The trigger is Linux, zsh,
$HOMEcontaining a non-UTF-8 byte, and a.zshrcthat 1.4.0–1.4.3 populated with# bun completionsand asourceline whose path has EF BF BD. The marker-only match at src/runtime/cli/install_completions_command.rs:501-507 breaksfalse, so the hint at :537-543 is not printed. The base fails the same way by the same route.

…letions-raw-byte-paths # Conflicts: # test/cli/bun.test.ts
The two "bunx symlink beside the executable" cases link to an executable whose own path is as long as a path can be. A file system can limit a symlink target to less (XFS: 1024 bytes), and symlink(2) then fails for every candidate. The cases now run only when a probe symlink with a target of that length can be made. The new bunx tests run concurrently. When the temporary directory is on another file system than the executable, they link to one shared copy.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I reviewed the latest push and found no new bugs; the new bunx tests now run concurrently and the symlink-target probe addresses the earlier nit. Because this reworks every path the completions installer builds and the MAX_PATH_BYTES boundary tests were exercised on Linux only, a human look (plus a green macOS lane) is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- The four
(dir, suffix)candidates ininstall_bunx_symlinkagainst the old format strings: byte-identical results (including//bunxfor an executable at/, and/.bun/bin/bunxfor an empty$HOME), andconcat_buf_thandsfrom_slice_with_nulexactly one trailing NUL. join_z_buf_checkedin the zsh branch wraps the samejoin_string_bufthe old code used, so normalization is unchanged; the let-chain skips only the.zshrcstep, and the "Installed completions" message still prints.- The
.zshrcline buffer (len * 4 + 96reserved vs42 + 2 * lenwritten) and the/dev/zerocase that now breaks to the hint instead of panicking;buf_print_z_infalliblehas no remaining callers. - The comment at src/runtime/cli/install_completions_command.rs:48 describes the removed formatter rather than the current code — a nit, not posted.
Extended reasoning...
The diff replaces format-based path construction in src/runtime/cli/install_completions_command.rs with raw-byte concat_buf_t/join_z_buf_checked calls so that non-UTF-8 and overlong $HOME/$BUN_INSTALL/$ZDOTDIR/executable paths are handled without U+FFFD substitution or panics, deletes the now-unused buf_print_z_infallible from src/bun_core/fmt.rs, and adds 15 tests plus shared helpers in test/cli/bun.test.ts. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface; the sensitive part is NUL-terminated path assembly into fixed buffers, which I traced through the helpers and found bounds-checked. The latest commit (4c96e90) made the bunx tests concurrent and added a symlink-target-length probe, addressing the prior review's nit. Deferring rather than approving because the change is a non-trivial refactor of user-reachable path handling, the boundary tests were run on Linux only per the author, and no CODEOWNERS entry covers these files.
…line When `bun completions` cannot edit `.zshrc`, it prints the line for the user to add. That statement formatted the path through `bstr::BStr`. For a path that is not UTF-8 the printed line had U+FFFD where the line that bun writes to `.zshrc` has the bytes, and a copy of it in `.zshrc` was not found again. 1.3.x printed the bytes. The line now goes to stderr as bytes, through the new `Output::print_error_bytes`, the stderr twin of `print_bytes`. It uses the same writer as the text before it. A terminal in the encoding of the file name, or `2>file`, shows the bytes. A UTF-8 terminal still shows U+FFFD. For a path that is UTF-8 the output is the same bytes.

LGTM — the raw-byte path assembly is sound and the earlier nit about serial bunx tests is addressed by the move to test.concurrent.
What was reviewed:
- Every
ZStr::from_slice_with_nulinput in install_completions_command.rs comes from aconcat_buf_tcall whose last part isb"\0", andjoin_z_buf_checkedalready returns a NUL-terminatedZStr;concat_buf_trejects a slice that does not fit (s.len() > out.len() - off), so a path plus NUL of exactlyMAX_PATH_BYTESfits and one byte more is skipped, matching the test boundaries. - The
let mut completions_path_buf = ...link in theif letchain keeps thePoolGuardalive for the whole block that borrowscompletions_pathfrom it; the.zshrcline concat intobuf[read..]returnsErron an empty tail (e.g. /dev/zero), which routes to the hint instead of a panic. pretty_error!and the newOutput::print_error_bytesboth go throughprint_to/write_bytesonDestination::Stderr, so the hint bytes stay ordered;buf_print_infalliblestill has callers in RangeRequest.rs and integrity.rs, so only the truly deadbuf_print_z_infallibleis removed.- Checked the root-exe case (
dirname=/gives//bunx): same as the oldformat_args!path, no regression.
Extended reasoning...
The change rewrites the non-Windows bunx symlink search and the zsh .zshrc path/line construction in src/runtime/cli/install_completions_command.rs to use raw-byte concatenation into fixed path buffers, adds a stderr byte writer in src/bun_core/output.rs, deletes a now-unused panicking formatter in src/bun_core/fmt.rs, and adds 15 boundary and non-UTF-8 tests in test/cli/bun.test.ts. It touches no auth, crypto, or network surface; the sensitive part is fixed-buffer length handling, and each new fallible site (concat_buf_t, join_z_buf_checked) was traced to a skip or hint rather than a panic. The Rust portion is about 100 lines and self-contained, no CODEOWNERS entry covers these files, the one third-party (coderabbit) thread was resolved by a non-author, and the only prior concern from this bot (serial bunx tests) is addressed in the current code, which decided approve.

Provenance and reach. Found by reading the code. No user reported it and no issue exists. Crash reports were not searched. A
$HOMEthat does not fit in a path is not a real account. A home directory with a Latin-1 byte (/home/jos\xE9) is, on Linux.The printed line has a smaller reach.
bun upgradeand the install script drop the output ofbun completions. So a person sees the line only after a run by hand, under zsh, with no.zshrcor.zshenvthat opens for writing. The bytes then show in a terminal that uses the encoding of the file name, or with2>file. A UTF-8 terminal draws U+FFFD for them with and without this change. Nobody needs the printed line:echo '[ -s "$HOME/.bun/_bun" ] && source "$HOME/.bun/_bun"' >> ~/.zshrcworks on main, and bun then adds nothing. The reason for the commit is that the line has one form: bun writes it, prints it, and looks for it in.zshrc.

The target of the bunx symlink is the executable's own path. In the two tests of the link beside the executable that path is as long as a path can be. A file system can limit a symlink target to less (XFS: 1024 bytes), and
symlink(2)then fails for every location. Build 130535 failed these two tests on both Alpine lanes in that way: no link in any directory. AnLD_PRELOADshim that refuses a target over 1024 bytes gives the same two failures with the same values here. The two tests now run only where a probe symlink with a target ofMAX_PATH_BYTES - 1bytes can be made. Therebun completionsmakes no bunx link for such an executable, because the kernel refuses each target.The new bunx tests run concurrently and share the helper
