Restore O_NONBLOCK on inherited stdio fds at exit - #47717
After bun -e "process.stdout.isTTY" runs with a pipe on stdout, the next process that writes to the same pipe fails: head: error writing 'standard output': Resource temporarily unavailable. O_NONBLOCK is still set on the pipe after Bun exits.
process.stdout, process.stderr, Bun.stdout.writer() and Bun.file(1).writer() open a FileSink over a dup() of fd 1 or 2. open_for_writing (src/io/openForWriting.rs:157) sets O_NONBLOCK on that dup. The dup shares the open file description with the parent shell, so the flag outlives Bun. bun_restore_stdio() restored termios only.
Fix
bun_initialize_process() snapshots fcntl(F_GETFL) and fstat identity of fds 0, 1 and 2 (src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp).
bun_restore_stdio() puts the O_NONBLOCK bit back to the startup value when the fd still names the same file. It runs at exit, in process.exit(), process.abort(), the crash handler, before a --watch reload, before the --aot exec and process.execve() (none of the three called it), and in the SIGINT/SIGTERM handler. That handler is now installed with no TTY too, when the disposition is SIG_DFL. With a TTY it replaces an inherited SIG_IGN as before, so a & job in a package script still dies on Ctrl-C.
This is Node's ResetStdio() in src/node.cc, bit and identity check included. It covers every producer of the flag, including Bun.connect({ fd }) and process.stdout._handle.setBlocking().
Verified: test/js/node/process/process-stdio.test.ts (12 new tests, 8 fail on the released binary). Also test/aot/a-build-that-stops-says-where.test.ts, test/js/bun/perf/linker-order.test.ts, test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-signal.test.ts, spawn-kill-signal.test.ts, test/cli/run/run-propagate-sigkill.test.ts, run_command.test.ts, test/js/node/process/process-on.test.ts, process.test.js, test/cli/aot-unknown-flags.test.ts, test/js/node/tty.
Background
O_NONBLOCK is a file status flag. It belongs to the open file description, not to the fd number. dup() and fork() share the description, so every process that holds the pipe sees the same flag. Bun sets it on a pipe stdout so the event loop can poll it, as libuv does for Node.
onExitSignal is the SIGINT/SIGTERM handler in c-bindings.cpp. It calls bun_restore_stdio() and raises the signal again with the default action, so the exit status does not change. selfSentSignalEndsProcess in BunProcess.cpp already treats it as SIG_DFL.
Considered a fix in Bun__ForceFileSinkToBeSynchronousForProcessObjectStdio: its update_nonblocking call is dead because Blob::writer builds the sink with Fd::INVALID. Repairing it covers process.stdout and process.stderr only, not Bun.stdout.writer() or a death by signal. The exit restore is one place for every producer.
Every POSIX process pays 3 fstat and 3 fcntl(F_GETFL) at startup, 3 fcntl(F_GETFL) at exit, and one fstat plus one fcntl(F_SETFL) per fd whose bit changed. Counted from the code. Each call is under 200 ns on Linux. strace is not available in the build container.
Bun as PID 1 in a container with no TTY now exits with 143 on SIGTERM instead of ignoring it (PID 1 starts with SIG_DFL). Exit on SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP when bun is PID 1 of a container #38843 asks for this. Its install condition is superseded by this PR. Its SIGHUP half and tests are not.
Two Bun processes that share one pipe at the same time (bun a.ts & bun b.ts): the first exit sets the pipe back to blocking while the second still runs. On Linux its pipe writes use RWF_NOWAIT and stay asynchronous. On macOS they block, as Node's do in the same setup.
Notes
Triggers checked on main: process.stdout.isTTY, process.stderr.isTTY, process.stdout.write, Bun.stdout.writer() leave the flag set. console.log, fs.writeSync(1, ..), Bun.write(Bun.stdout, ..) do not.
Restore runs on normal exit, SIGINT and SIGTERM. A death by SIGKILL, SIGHUP, SIGQUIT or another fatal signal leaves the flag set. Node has the same gap.
Identity check: fs.closeSync(1) is allowed on stdio. A script that then opens a file gets a new description at fd 1. Without the check, the exit would write the startup bit onto a file a child of Bun may still use. The test "a fd reopened by the script is left alone at exit" covers this.
SIG_DFL gate with no TTY: a non-interactive shell sets SIGINT to SIG_IGN for a & job, and nohup sets SIGHUP. Bun keeps those when no stdio fd is a TTY, as the --watch reload path in c-bindings.cpp does. The test "a SIGTERM inherited as ignored stays ignored with no TTY" pins it, and test/js/bun/perf/linker-order.test.ts depends on it. With a TTY the released behaviour is kept: the handler replaces SIG_IGN, so bun server.ts & bun client.ts in a package script still stops on Ctrl-C.
The build interruption reporter (src/crash_handler/stopped_builds.rs) only installed over SIG_DFL. It now also replaces the exit handler, restores stdio itself, ends through raise_default_action (so PID 1 exits too), and puts the exit handler back when the build ends. Without this, a piped bun build --compile killed by SIGINT lost its "Still compiling" lines.
When the last process.on("SIGINT") or SIGTERM listener is removed, uninstallForwardSignalHandler reset the signal to SIG_DFL. It now puts the exit handler back. A failed process.execve() puts the stdio flags and termios back to what they were before the call, so a script that catches the error keeps its state. The watch-mode SIGINT exit restores too.
Only the O_NONBLOCK bit is restored. src/runtime/webcore/blob/copy_file.rs:422 clears O_APPEND on a destination fd and does not restore it. Separate flag, out of scope.
Self-reviewed: 13 concerns raised, 11 addressed (SIG_DFL gate, fstat identity check, exec_self restore, PID 1 and SIG_IGN stated, tests for both, expect order). Not taken: add SIGHUP to the handler set (Node restores on INT and TERM only, and Exit on SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP when bun is PID 1 of a container #38843 owns SIGHUP), and a PID 1 test with unshare (left to Exit on SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP when bun is PID 1 of a container #38843). Review comments then added process.execve() (with undo on failure), process.abort(), the build reporter, the TTY policy, and the listener removal path. Not taken from them: restore only the value Bun last wrote (spreads the rule over every producer, Node restores the startup value), and a hidden dup of each stdio fd (it keeps a pipe open after the script closes fd 1, and shifts fd numbers).
Unrelated failures seen locally: process.test.js checks the host Node version, and two child_process.test.ts cases hit fd exhaustion and a 5 s timeout under the ASAN debug build.

Snapshot F_GETFL and the identity (st_dev, st_ino) of fds 0-2 at startup
and put the O_NONBLOCK bit back in bun_restore_stdio, which runs at exit,
in the crash handler, before a --watch reload or an --aot exec, and on
SIGINT/SIGTERM. A fd the script reopened onto another file is left
alone. Install the SIGINT/SIGTERM handler on every POSIX run whose
disposition is SIG_DFL, not only when a stdio fd is a TTY.

Bun records stdio flags and file identities at startup. It restores the startup O_NONBLOCK bit when a descriptor still refers to the same file. Process replacement, abort, reload, and selected signal paths restore stdio. Tests cover descriptor flags and inherited SIGTERM behavior.

Summary
stdio flag snapshot and restoration src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp, test/js/node/process/process-stdio.test.ts
Initialization records stdio flags and file identities. Restoration changes only the startup O_NONBLOCK bit when the descriptor still refers to the same file. Tests cover normal exit, SIGTERM, process.abort(), SIGKILL, and reopened descriptors.
Process replacement and abort restoration src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp, src/bun_core/util.rs
process.execve saves stdio flags and TTY settings, restores stdio before process replacement, and reapplies saved state if replacement fails. process.abort() and exec_self also restore stdio before their respective termination or reload steps.
Signal handler installation and crash reporting src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp, src/crash_handler/stopped_builds.rs, test/js/node/process/process-stdio.test.ts
SIGINT and SIGTERM installation checks each signal disposition independently. Crash reporting restores stdio before raising the default signal action and can reinstall a replaced Bun exit handler. Tests check inherited ignored SIGTERM.
The timing-dependent test is absent, and the FIFO read now checks that Bun exited successfully. No actionable merge-blocking issue remains; normal platform checks should complete before merging.

550-557: Minor · Maintainability & Code Quality · Poor tradeoff
Replace the fixed sleep 1 with a condition the test can observe.
The consumer's sleep 1 is a fixed wait. The test/** guideline says tests must not wait for time to pass. The wait adds one second per run. On a loaded host, cat can drain the pipe before head fills it, so the unfixed build can pass this regression test. The fixed build's result does not depend on timing. No existing harness helper observes a shell pipeline consumer's state, so the replacement needs new test plumbing. I did not propose an edit.
As per coding guidelines, the test/** rule states: "Unless explicitly asked, never wait for time to pass in tests. Always wait for the condition to be met instead of waiting for an arbitrary amount of time."

Restore the startup SIGTERM handler when the last listener is removed.
After the last SIGTERM listener is removed, uninstallForwardSignalHandler leaves SIGTERM at SIG_DFL. A later SIGTERM ends Bun without bun_restore_stdio(), so an inherited O_NONBLOCK flag can stay set on stdout. Restore the onExitSignal disposition in this path, or save the prior disposition when installForwardSignalHandler replaces it.

Restore stdio before process.abort() ends the process.
Process_functionAbort calls abort() without restoring stdio. Its O_NONBLOCK restore never runs, so a pipe shared with Bun can stay nonblocking. A later writer on that pipe can then get EAGAIN when the pipe is full. Call bun_restore_stdio() before abort(), and declare it extern "C" in BunProcess.cpp. This also restores termios on TTY stdio, which the abort path does not do today.

SIGHUP and SIGQUIT still skip the stdio restore; this is a known, pre-existing limitation.
The new restore runs only when SIGINT or SIGTERM kills the process. Bun installs no handler for SIGHUP or SIGQUIT, and no other path restores O_NONBLOCK for those signals. A process killed by either signal under its default action therefore leaves O_NONBLOCK set on an inherited stdio pipe, as it did before this change. The PR's own limitations list names this case. Consider a follow-up issue. Do not block this PR on it. A fix that installs handlers for SIGHUP or SIGQUIT would change how Bun terminates on those signals, and this review did not verify that change.

🟣 src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp — pre-existing: a script that touches process.stdout on a piped stdout and then calls process.execve() still hands the replacement program a nonblocking fd 1, so its writes fail with EAGAIN (the #47710 symptom) exactly as on the base branch. The PR adds bun_restore_stdio() before the --watch and --aot execs, but Process_functionExecve at src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp:2383 (and the Darwin posix_spawn SETEXEC path at :2352) replaces the image without it. Fix: call bun_restore_stdio() on every path that replaces the process image, including process.execve on both the Linux execve and Darwin posix_spawn branches, so the snapshot bit is put back before the new program inherits fds 0-2. [also at: src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp:970 - A program started with process.execve() still inherits a nonblocking stdout and fails with EAGAIN, even though every other way Bun leaves the image now restores the bit.; src/bun_core/util.rs:4417 - pre-existing: a script that used process.stdout and then calls process.execve() still leaves the shell's stdout pipe O_NONBLOCK, so the next writer gets 'Resource temporarily unavailable'.]
Why this was flagged
A user runs bun script.ts | cat where script.ts does process.stdout.write("start\n"); process.execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "seq 1 1000000"]). process.stdout opens a FileSink over a dup of fd 1 and src/io/openForWriting.rs:157 sets O_NONBLOCK on the shared open file description. Process_functionExecve at src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp:2311-2383 only clears FD_CLOEXEC on fds 0-2, resets the signal mask, and calls ::execve (or posix_spawn with POSIX_SPAWN_SETEXEC at :2352 on Darwin); it never calls bun_restore_stdio(). The replacement program inherits fd 1 with O_NONBLOCK still set and gets EAGAIN when the pipe fills ("write error: Resource temporarily unavailable"). Base behaves the same, and the PR adds the restore to the sibling exec paths src/bun_core/util.rs:4303 and src/bun_core/util.rs:4417 but not here, so this exec path is left failing as before while the description says the restore runs before every exec.
Verification: pre-existing. A script whose stdout is a pipe touches process.stdout and then calls process.execve(). Process_functionExecve (src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp:2157-2393) only clears FD_CLOEXEC on fds 0-2 and calls ::execve(...) at :2383; nothing in BunProcess.cpp calls bun_restore_stdio. So the replacement image inherits fd 1 with O_NONBLOCK still set and hits EAGAIN once the pipe fills. The base branch already behaves this way.
… reporter
The exit handler is now installed with no TTY only when the disposition
is SIG_DFL. With a TTY it still replaces an inherited SIG_IGN, as before.
The build interruption reporter replaces the exit handler and puts it
back, and restores stdio itself before it re-raises.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The latest commit addresses the two points from my previous review (the build reporter now installs over onExitSignal and reinstalls it afterwards, and the handler keeps replacing an inherited SIG_IGN when a stdio fd is a TTY), and the reopened-fd test now reads the FIFO only after the exit= line, so the ordering I was worried about is fixed. Beyond the new inline findings, I also checked that crate::output::stdio::restore() in exec_self resolves to the same restore the --watch reload path already calls, and that handle_interruption restores stdio before re-raising, so the piped-build case is covered.
Extended reasoning...
The change snapshots and restores the O_NONBLOCK bit on fds 0-2 in c-bindings.cpp, installs the SIGINT/SIGTERM exit handler unconditionally with a SIG_IGN-when-TTY gate, wires the restore into process.abort(), process.execve(), exec_self, and the build-interruption reporter, and adds nine subprocess tests. It touches signal-disposition and process-exit behavior, no injection, auth, or data-exposure surface. The prior-round findings were addressed by the newest commit, but this run still reported four new inline findings and the hunt ended on max_bugs, so a human should weigh the remaining items.
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/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp — pre-existing: a script that adds and later removes a SIGINT or SIGTERM listener loses the new exit-time stdio restore for that signal, so a nonblocking stdout pipe stays nonblocking after the signal kills it (the #47710 symptom). uninstallForwardSignalHandler at src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp:1624 resets the signal to SIG_DFL instead of putting back onExitSignal, which installForwardSignalHandler at BunProcess.cpp:1615 overwrote. Fix: when the last SIGINT/SIGTERM listener goes away, reinstall the exit handler, e.g. call bun_install_exit_signal_handler(signalNumber) (src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp:1002) after the reset, which keeps the SIG_IGN/TTY policy; same pattern at src/runtime/cli/repl.rs:1141. Prompt libraries (inquirer, signal-exit's unload) add and remove these listeners. [also at: src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp:1134 - pre-existing: a script that adds and then removes a SIGINT or SIGTERM listener loses the O_NONBLOCK restore, so a later signal death still leaves the shared pipe nonblocking (the #47710 symptom). installExitSignalHandler at src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp:1133-1134 installs onExitSignal once at…; src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp:1016 - pre-existing: a script that registers and then removes a SIGINT/SIGTERM listener before re-raising the signal (the signal-exit / process.once pattern) still leaves the shared pipe nonblocking at death, exactly as on the base.]
Why this was flagged
Trigger: a script run with a piped stdout touches process.stdout (open_for_writing sets O_NONBLOCK on the shared description, src/io/openForWriting.rs:157), registers process.on("SIGTERM", f), and later calls process.off/removeListener so the count reaches 0; then timeout or the shell sends SIGTERM. onDidChangeListeners (BunProcess.cpp:1745-1751) calls uninstallForwardSignalHandler, which at BunProcess.cpp:1624 does Bun::setSignalHandler(signalNumber, SIG_DFL). The handler that installForwardSignalHandler (BunProcess.cpp:1615) replaced was onExitSignal, installed by bun_install_exit_signal_handler (c-bindings.cpp:1138-1139); it is not put back. SIGTERM therefore kills the process with the default action and bun_restore_stdio never runs, so the pipe keeps O_NONBLOCK and the next writer gets EAGAIN (head: error writing 'standard output': Resource temporarily unavailable), exactly as on the base. The PR's restore covers the signal path only while onExitSignal is installed; the listener-removal path is a sibling site that still resets to SIG_DFL.
Verification: pre-existing: the base never restores O_NONBLOCK at all, and this PR's fix does not reach this path. installForwardSignalHandler at src/jsc/bindings/BunProcess.cpp:1615 overwrites onExitSignal with forwardSignal; uninstallForwardSignalHandler at BunProcess.cpp:1624 resets to SIG_DFL and never puts onExitSignal back, so bun_restore_stdio() never runs and the pipe's O_NONBLOCK bit stays set.
…hen execve fails
The build reporter ends the process through raise_default_action, which
also covers PID 1. The test script disables core files for the
process.abort() step.
Also fixed in d03fec7: removing the last SIGINT or SIGTERM listener puts the exit handler back (uninstallForwardSignalHandler), so a later signal death still restores the stdio flags.

Install the exit handler in the same sigaction call that replaces the reporter.
190-192: Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win
Install the exit handler in the same sigaction call that replaces the reporter.
In the disable path, the loop sets SIG_DFL and then calls bun_install_exit_signal_handler. A SIGINT or SIGTERM delivered between these two calls runs the default action and ends the process. onExitSignal does not run, so bun_restore_stdio() does not restore O_NONBLOCK.
A pthread_sigmask around the loop does not close this window. The mask applies only to the calling thread. A process-directed signal can be delivered to any other thread that does not block it, and the disposition is read at delivery.
When REPLACED_EXIT_HANDLER[index] is set, install onExitSignal directly. The SIG_DFL state then does not occur.

The same trigger exists at the merge base. There, the reporter disable leaves SIG_DFL installed for the rest of the process. This change limits that state to the gap between the two calls.

Update the disable path guarded by REPLACED_EXIT_HANDLER so the sigaction call
that removes the reporter installs the exit handler directly, rather than first
setting SIG_DFL and installing the handler in a later call. Preserve the
existing signal-action semantics while ensuring there is no intermediate
default-disposition window.

170-175: Minor · Functional Correctness · Poor tradeoff
The build reporter is not re-armed after the last SIGINT or SIGTERM listener is removed during a build.
While a build runs, adding a SIGINT or SIGTERM listener replaces the reporter's handle_interruption handler with forwardSignal. When the last listener is removed, uninstallForwardSignalHandler installs onExitSignal for that signal. onExitSignal restores stdio and re-raises the signal, but it does not write the report of threads that are still compiling. The reporter is not armed again while the build continues, so a later SIGINT or SIGTERM ends the process without that report.

Update the signal-handler restoration flow in uninstallForwardSignalHandler so
removing the last SIGINT or SIGTERM listener while a build is active re-arms the
reporter’s handle_interruption handler, allowing later signals to report
compiling threads. Preserve the existing onExitSignal behavior when no build is
active, and keep the REPLACED_EXIT_HANDLER bookkeeping in sync with the
installed handler.

On the build reporter follow-up: not taken. A JS listener for SIGINT or SIGTERM during a build can only come from a bundler macro. Before this PR, removing it left SIG_DFL, which also lost the reporter. Now it leaves the exit handler, which at least restores stdio.

Fixes #47710
Problem
bun -e "process.stdout.isTTY"runs with a pipe on stdout, the next process that writes to the same pipe fails:head: error writing 'standard output': Resource temporarily unavailable.O_NONBLOCKis still set on the pipe after Bun exits.process.stdout,process.stderr,Bun.stdout.writer()andBun.file(1).writer()open aFileSinkover adup()of fd 1 or 2.open_for_writing(src/io/openForWriting.rs:157) setsO_NONBLOCKon that dup.

It runs at exit, inprocess.exit(),process.abort(), the crash handler, before a--watchreload, before the--aotexec andprocess.execve()(none of the three called it), and in the SIGINT/SIGTERM handler. That handler is now installed with no TTY too, when the disposition isSIG_DFL.

O_NONBLOCKis a file status flag. It belongs to the open file description, not to the fd number.dup()andfork()share the description, so every process that holds the pipe sees the same flag. Bun sets it on a pipe stdout so the event loop can poll it, as libuv does for Node.onExitSignalis the SIGINT/SIGTERM handler inc-bindings.cpp. It callsbun_restore_stdio()and raises the signal again with the default action, so the exit status does not change.selfSentSignalEndsProcessinBunProcess.cppalready treats it asSIG_DFL.Bun__ForceFileSinkToBeSynchronousForProcessObjectStdio: itsupdate_nonblockingcall is dead becauseBlob::writerbuilds the sink withFd::INVALID.

Its install condition is superseded by this PR. Its SIGHUP half and tests are not.bun a.ts & bun b.ts): the first exit sets the pipe back to blocking while the second still runs. On Linux its pipe writes useRWF_NOWAITand stay asynchronous. On macOS they block, as Node's do in the same setup.Notes

A script that then opens a file gets a new description at fd 1. Without the check, the exit would write the startup bit onto a file a child of Bun may still use. The test "a fd reopened by the script is left alone at exit" covers this.SIG_DFLgate with no TTY: a non-interactive shell sets SIGINT toSIG_IGNfor a&job, andnohupsets SIGHUP. Bun keeps those when no stdio fd is a TTY, as the--watchreload path inc-bindings.cppdoes. The test "a SIGTERM inherited as ignored stays ignored with no TTY" pins it, andtest/js/bun/perf/linker-order.test.tsdepends on it. With a TTY the released behaviour is kept: the handler replacesSIG_IGN, sobun server.ts & bun client.tsin a package script still stops on Ctrl-C.src/crash_handler/stopped_builds.rs) only installed overSIG_DFL.
