`cache::Fs::read_file_with_allocator` stripped a UTF-8 byte order mark and transcoded UTF-16LE to UTF-8 in every file it read. The bundler emits the bytes of that read as the asset of a `file`, `wasm`, `napi` or embedded `sqlite` import. An asset that starts with `EF BB BF` or `FF FE` was therefore not a copy of the file, and `[hash]` covered the rewritten bytes. The reader now takes a `BomHandling`. `Convert` runs one conversion step after the read. `Keep` returns the bytes on disk. The parse task asks for `Keep` when `Loader::should_copy_for_bundling()` is true. Two consumers read such a file as text, and decode it themselves: - `fetchSourceCode` gives a native plugin the text, as before. The bundler keeps the bytes on disk for a copied file that the plugin leaves unchanged. - A compiled executable decodes an embedded file asset when it loads the asset as a module. `BomHandling` takes the place of `use_shared_buffer`, which was `false` at every call. `BOM::remove_and_convert_to_utf8_without_dealloc` had one caller, in the shared-buffer read, and is removed.
`read_file_with_allocator` no longer takes `use_shared_buffer`, so the shared-buffer branch of `read_file_with_handle_impl` has no caller. `read_file_contents` is now the heap read itself and returns `Vec<u8>`. Removed with it: `read_file_with_handle_impl`, `PathContentsPair`, the `size_hint` argument (always `None`), the `stream` flag of `cache::Fs` (always `false`) and `From<Cow<[u8]>> for Contents`. Comments that described the shared-buffer read now describe what is left.

Filesystem reading and BOM conversion src/bun_core/string/immutable/unicode.rs, src/resolver/fs.rs, src/resolver/lib.rs, src/resolver/package_json.rs, src/resolver/resolver.rs |
Filesystem reads now use BomHandling::Convert or BomHandling::Keep. Contents converts UTF-8 and UTF-16LE BOM-prefixed data when requested. Package JSON and tsconfig reads request conversion. |
Bundler and standalone BOM handling src/bundler/ParseTask.rs, src/bundler/transpiler.rs, src/standalone_graph/StandaloneModuleGraph.rs |
Bundler loaders select whether to preserve original bytes or convert text. Plugin source handling retains original contents and selects returned contents based on the loader. Binary standalone content now handles BOMs. |
BOM behavior validation test/bundler/bundler_loader.test.ts, test/bundler/native-plugin.test.ts, test/bundler/native_plugin.cc, test/bake/dev/html.test.ts |
Tests check decoded text and byte-for-byte preservation across bundler loaders, native plugins, and dev-server asset responses. |

the read is limited to the remaining content capacity and the NUL terminator is

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 two Contents values the native-plugin path now holds (original_contents and the BOM-offset original_text): both are Contents::Arena with a no-op drop and the UTF-8 case points into the same arena allocation, so there is no double free or dangling slice. The Owned fallthrough in convert_detected_bom is unreachable on the ParseTask path since read_arena is always Some(bump), and the empty-file heap read's Vec::new() still maps to Contents::Empty via From<Vec<u8>>.
Extended reasoning...
The change reworks BOM handling in the resolver/bundler file-read cache (src/resolver/lib.rs, src/resolver/fs.rs), ParseTask's native-plugin fetch path, and StandaloneModuleGraph's module text decoding, with unsafe arena pointer arithmetic; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. Two inline findings (a serial test and leftover shared-buffer fields) are posted; this note records the ownership and reachability checks that were ruled out so a human reviewer need not repeat them.
…he byte order mark tests The copy tests selected the file loader with an import attribute only. They now also cover a .txt file that the loader option maps to file, and an extension that has no loader.

Origin and reach. No user reported this. A fuzz run found it. It is old behaviour, not a regression: the rewrite came with #8219 (UTF-16LE source files, v1.0.24), and 1.4.3, 1.4.4 and main 5c6d4e2 emit the same bytes. It needs a file that starts with a mark on a copy loader: text from a Windows tool with an unmapped extension, or an HTML asset such as
manifest.json. Images, fonts, wasm,.nodeand sqlite files do not start with a mark.Why change it: the bundle and the unbundled run disagree.
cfg.datisEF BB BF {"a":1}, imported with the defaultfileloader, thenJSON.parse(readFileSync(path, "utf8")):bun app.tsbun build --compile, run the executableMain also disagrees with itself: the same bytes from the in-memory
filesmap, or from anonLoadresult withloader: "file", are emitted as they are. esbuild 0.21.5 copies them as they are. The docs say thefileloader copies the file "as-is" (docs/bundler/loaders.mdx).What changed from #38103. Same layer, same enum name, same five call sites.
Loader::is_binary()and noBomHandling::for_loader: the parse task asks the existingshould_copy_for_bundling(), so there is one list of copy loaders.read_file_with_allocator(Contents::convert_bom) in place of a gate at each of fourBOM::detectsites. The read helpers infs.rsreturn the bytes of the file.BomHandlingtakes the slot ofuse_shared_buffer, which wasfalseat every call.Earlier PRs on the reader's conversion. #33861 (closed) moved the UTF-8 strip out of the reader to each loader. The review there said "This will lead to supporting multiple BOMs". This PR keeps one conversion step per read, in the reader. A file with two marks loses one, as on main. #36334 and #38123 (open) each add a private raw read beside a
read_file_with_allocatorcall because the reader converts. After this PR they can passBomHandling::Keep.Text consumer 1:
fetchSourceCode. A native plugin reads text, whatever the loader. bun-plugin-tailwind scans every file that is not CSS, and thebun inittemplates install it.fetch_source_codereads withKeepand holds the bytes on disk. The plugin gets the text: the same allocation past a UTF-8 mark (the NUL stays after the text), or a transcoded copy for UTF-16LE. In-memory contents are not decoded, as on main.runcontinues with the bytes on disk for a loader that copies its file, and with the text for any other loader.result->loaderdoes not reach the read. The header numbers it differently from the Rust enum (BUN_LOADER_NAPI = 9isWasm), and the parse step drops the plugin's write today. bundler: honor the loader chosen by a native onBeforeParse plugin #38172 (open) makes the parse step use that write. It then changes one expression inrun(wrapper.loader), and the bytes on disk are still there to convert.Text consumer 2: an embedded asset that is loaded as a module. In a compiled executable,
import(path),require(path)andnew Worker(path)of an embeddedtype: "file"script take the source from the standalone graph, with no read from disk. Main passed only because the bundler had already rewritten the bytes.File::to_wtf_string()now decodes aBinaryfile the way a read from disk does.Bun.file()andfsreads of the asset stay byte for byte.Commits. The first commit is the fix and the tests. The second commit deletes what the first leaves without a caller, and changes no behaviour:
read_file_with_handle_impl(withread_file_with_handle_implandPathContentsPair:read_file_contentsis now the heap read and returnsVec<u8>),size_hintargument (alwaysNone) and thestreamflag ofcache::Fs(alwaysfalse),From<Cow<[u8]>> for Contents.The first commit removes
BOM::remove_and_convert_to_utf8_without_dealloc, whose one caller was that branch.Self-review: the 2 concerns that are not done.

On main the loader is final before every disk read, so the move gains nothing for this bug and changesfiles,onLoadand plugin results that nobody reported. bundler: honor the loader chosen by a native onBeforeParse plugin #38172 is its first real caller.cache::Fs::shared_buffer,reset_shared_buffer, the swap injsc_hooks.rs, and theUSE_SHARED_BUFFERconst generic intranspiler.rs. macros: run every macro on one dedicated VM thread #40059 deletes or editsmacro_shared_buffer,use_alternate_source_cacheand the two functions. transpiler cache: answer a hit before the parser and its heap are set up #43834 splitsparse_maybe_return_file_only_allow_shared_bufferand keeps the const generic. So this PR stops at the reader. None of these had a producer on main:use_shared_bufferwasfalseat every call. The comments that the deletion made false are corrected here. The rest is one follow-up after those two PRs.A tracking issue was also suggested. There is none: no user reported this, and this description carries the repro.
