Problem

• A native byte stream first read after its producer failed ends clean after 0 bytes. Sources: fetch body, req.body, S3File.stream(), HTMLRewriter output. Bun.serve answers an empty 200. An S3 copy stores an empty object.
• If a reader took part of the buffer, the process aborts: panic: range end index 262144 out of range for slice of length 0 (ByteStream::take_buffer).
• Cause: ByteStream::append(Err) stores the error, drops buffer and keeps offset. on_start, to_any_blob and Bun.serve read that as "ended, empty".

Fix

• A stored error makes on_start return Start::Ready and to_any_blob return None, so the first pull delivers it. Bun.serve hands it to its sink, and end_chunk calls error().
• buffer and offset become one Buffered value. Every method that empties the bytes resets the index.
• Verified: six test files (Notes). 24 new tests fail without the change.
• Self-reviewed: 2 concerns raised, 2 addressed.

Background

• ByteStream is the native source of a streamed body.
• A pull copies into a view. Bytes that do not fit stay buffered. offset counts the ones already taken.
• Weighed a store in append(Err) and a clamp in take_buffer. Six sites empty the buffer, and a clamp hides a wrong index.

Downsides

• A handler that returned such a body got a silent 200. It now gets error() or the default 500.
• One test of pending.result per stream start and per Bun.serve attach. Release text: +768 bytes.
• Still open: Bun.write(path, stream) rejects after it truncated the file. A started body that did not fail loses its queued bytes (Stop treating a locked body stream as a consumed one #33461, node:stream: take the native handle in Readable.fromWeb only from a stream no consumer has started #42281).

Notes

Origin and reach. No user reported either symptom. A fuzzer found the panic, and a differential run against node v26.3.0 found the empty body. The panic ships since 1.4.0: #38656 gave take_buffer its drain(..consumed). The review thread at #43410 (comment) named the stale offset on 09-19 and got the answer that the crash would have its own change with its own test. This is that change, inside this PR so that ByteStream.rs has one pull.

Three routes reach take_buffer with an index left behind an emptied buffer.

1. Bun.serve renders a Source::Bytes body that a consumer started and let go (res.body.getReader().releaseLock()), after the producer failed. do_render_with_body calls drain().
2. Readable.fromWeb() on such a stream. on_start took the buffer and kept the index, then native-readable.ts calls drain(). This one needs no failure.
3. The stream's own pull loop in text mode (res.textStream()). The adapter keeps its pull view there, so nativeSourcePullImpl (BunStreamSource.cpp) calls handle.drain() before each pull. A body that fails after a partial read is enough. No second consumer is involved.

Sites that emptied buffer and kept offset on main: append(Err), the buffer-action error arm of on_data, on_cancel, the stored-error arm of to_buffered_value, the OwnedAndDone arm of on_start, to_any_blob. Buffered offers take, clear, copy_out, adopt and extend, and nothing else writes the two fields.

Before and after (release build of main, debug build of this branch):

script	main	this PR
HTMLRewriter output, probed with getReader().releaseLock(), 400,007 bytes of output, then a handler throws, returned from Bun.serve	panic, exit 134	500, error() got boom
the same with exactly one pull view of output (262,144 bytes)	200 ""	500, error() got boom
the same after only void res.body	200 ""	500, error() got boom
const body = res.body, upstream resets, for await (const c of body)	ends cleanly after 0 of 100,000 bytes	rejects ECONNRESET (node: rejects)
res.textStream() reader, one view read, upstream resets, next read	panic, exit 134	the read rejects ECONNRESET
Readable.fromWeb() on a probed rewriter output, clean end	panic, exit 134	the bytes the native source still holds
req.body read after the uploading client went away	{ done: true }	rejects AbortError
new Response(body).arrayBuffer() / bytes() / blob() / json() on a body that failed while idle	resolve empty	reject ECONNRESET
new Bun.S3Client({}).file(key).stream() (no credentials), then for await, a reader, pipeTo, tee, new Response(s).bytes() or .blob()	end cleanly after 0 bytes	reject ERR_S3_MISSING_CREDENTIALS
client.file(key).stream() read after the download failed: a body cut short, a missing key (404), a denied key (403)	ends cleanly after 0 bytes	rejects ConnectionClosed, NoSuchKey, AccessDenied
client.write(key, new Response(s)) or Bun.write(s3file, new Response(s)) with such a stream s	resolves 0, a PUT of 0 bytes replaces the object	rejects, no request goes out
fetch(url, { method: "POST", body: s })	resolves 200, the server gets a complete POST with Content-Length: 0	rejects, the server gets no complete request
HTMLRewriter output .body taken, a handler throws or the upstream resets, then the first read	{ done: true }	rejects with the handler's or the upstream's error

Four sources, one script. Each transfer announces 100 bytes, sends 50, and is cut by a FIN 20 ms later. The stream is taken at once and read 100 ms later: (await fetch(url)).body, req.body in Bun.serve, s3.file(key).stream(), new HTMLRewriter().transform(await fetch(url)).body. A release canary (367d939) and a debug build of main bd599f5 end all four cleanly with 0 bytes, 3 of 3 runs each. A debug build of this branch rejects all four, 3 of 3 runs, with the error the same read gets when it is made at once: ECONNRESET, AbortError, S3Error ConnectionClosed, ECONNRESET.

What stays open. For a stream source, Bun.write(path, source) opens the destination with O_TRUNC before it reads the stream (pipe_readable_stream_to_blob, Blob.rs:1448). With a failed stream, or a Response or Request that wraps one, the write now rejects, and a file that held 777 bytes holds 0. Main does the same for a bare stream, and resolved 0 for the wrappers. Only Bun.write(path, res) with the fetch Response itself keeps the old bytes. An S3 destination keeps the old object, because no request goes out. This PR does not change when Bun.write truncates.

Two behaviours change only in the state that used to abort: on_start and resume hand over the bytes no consumer took, not the whole buffer, so a prefix a reader already holds is not sent twice. The to_write == 0 arm of on_pull is gone: it handled a buffer whose bytes were all taken but not dropped, which cannot exist now.

The HTMLRewriter paces its input by the whole buffer, the taken prefix included (#38656). Buffered::held_len() keeps that. Counting only the untaken bytes made html-rewriter.test.js "a locked reader paces the input by its reads" fail, which is how the difference showed.

Self-review. Two concerns survived: that the change may claim severity but not demand (so this body states that no user reported it and lists the routes), and that a rename in ByteStream.rs races the other open pulls on the file (it now ships inside this one).

Since the first revision of this PR. Merged up to main. The Blob.rs hunk is gone: main rewrote pipe_readable_stream_to_blob and marks the pump's rejected promise handled there. s3-write-to-file-sync-close.test.ts now asserts the rejection instead of accepting both outcomes. end_sink_with_pending_error uses main's detach_sink plus sink.end. The fixture variants sit in main's nativeBodies table (#40596). The "failed after attach" control is dropped: main's proxied-fetch-after-status row covers it with #40596's contract (the connection closes without a complete message). One variant is new: the probed rewriter output from the first row above.

Tests. bun bd test on Linux x64:

• New or ported, failing without the change (24): serve-stream-body-error.test.ts (8), body-mixin-errors.test.ts (9), bun-server.test.ts (1), fetch.stream.test.ts (2), s3-stream-error-gc.test.ts (2), html-rewriter.test.js (2). Each was run against a debug build of main bd599f5, the first file against the release canary.
• s3-write-to-file-sync-close.test.ts passes with and without the change: main already rejects that write, and the test now pins it.
• After the rebase onto main (bd599f5): serve-stream-body-error 34 pass, body-mixin-errors 23, s3-stream-error-gc 4, s3-write-to-file-sync-close 1, html-rewriter.test.js 188, bun-server 81, fetch.stream 121.
• This container gives the debug build about two cores. bun-server and fetch.stream were run with --max-concurrency lowered: with the default, their concurrent subprocess tests pass the 5 s limit, with and without the change. The "Content-Length response works (multiple parts)" rows of fetch.stream take 2.1 s to 4.9 s each on both builds, and in one run two of them passed the limit.
• Earlier, before the rebase: fetch-backpressure 127, body-stream 9086, body 774, streams 624, node-stream 112. serve.test.ts: 325 pass. "root range port" and "/bun:info to loopback" fail on the release build of main too (the container runs as root).

bytestream-partial-read-error-fixture.ts stages the failure with an HTMLRewriter whose handler throws on the second chunk, so every step runs on the JS thread in order. It waits for the handler to have run, checks that the first read is exactly one pull view, and requires the next read to reject with the handler's own error. A text-mode reader is required: a byte reader's full view retires the adapter's pending view, and the next pull then skips drain(). Against the released bun the fixture aborts with the panic in its header.

s3-stream-stored-error-fixture.ts has two modes. With no credentials the download fails inside stream(), so every reader and sink runs against a stored failure and no timing is involved. For the failures on the wire, the stub closes the connection behind each answer. The read starts after the client has closed its end and one more request has made the round trip through the HTTP thread. The fixture writes to an absolute path: Bun.write("out.bin", new Response("")) with a relative path to a file that does not exist rejects with ENOENT from truncate, on main too. That is a separate defect.

Size. size of the release binary: text 80,676,945 on main, 80,677,713 with the change. data and bss are equal. Measured before the rebase.

History. The branch is rebased onto main at bd599f5: one commit for the change, and one for the tests of the S3 and HTMLRewriter sources.

Related open pulls. #33461 and #36110 give opposite answers for a started body that did not fail (send everything, or refuse). #42281 keeps Readable.fromWeb() from taking a started native source. None of them touches ByteStream.rs. #43410 rewrites how append(Err) stores a JS error and needs a rebase after this.

[robobun]

Status: both symptoms reproduce on the release build of main and on 1.4.0 to 1.4.2.

• Empty body: take a native byte stream, let its producer fail, then read it. for await (const c of body) ends clean after 0 bytes (node v26.3.0 rejects a fetch body). Four sources do this: (await fetch(url)).body, req.body in Bun.serve, S3File.stream() and the .body of an HTMLRewriter output. No network is needed: with no S3 credentials, for await (const c of new Bun.S3Client({}).file("key").stream()) ends clean. A Bun.serve handler that returns new Response(body) answers 200 with Content-Length: 0, and client.write(key, new Response(body)) stores an empty object.
• Panic: call res.body.getReader().releaseLock() on an HTMLRewriter output, let it emit more than 262,144 bytes, make a handler throw, then return res from Bun.serve. The process exits 134 with panic: range end index 262144 out of range for slice of length 0. res.textStream() reaches the same panic with no server: let a pull take one view, let the producer fail, then read.

On this branch the reads reject with the producer's error, Bun.serve answers through error(), no empty object is stored, and the process lives. One thing stays open: Bun.write(path, stream) rejects, but it has already truncated the file.

Walkthrough

Changes

ByteStream now tracks consumed bytes with its buffer and preserves pending producer errors. Server rendering forwards pending errors through the attached sink. Regression tests cover server responses, fetch body consumers, partial reads, request-body aborts, and S3 write errors.

Changes

Stream Error Handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track buffered data and terminal errors src/runtime/webcore/ByteStream.rs, src/runtime/api/html_rewriter.rs	ByteStream now tracks consumed bytes with buffered data. Stream operations use the new buffer abstraction, and HTMLRewriter output pacing counts held bytes.
Forward pending errors during server rendering src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs	Completed streams with pending errors use the attach path. When the sink is attached, RequestContext ends it with the stored error.
Test native and fetch stream errors test/js/bun/http/*, test/js/web/fetch/*, test/js/bun/s3/s3-write-to-file-sync-close.test.ts	Tests cover native-body errors in server responses, idle fetch-body errors, partial reads, stream transfer, request-body aborts, and the stored S3 write error.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes core ByteStream completion semantics (on_start/to_any_blob) and adds a new error-render path in RequestContext::do_render_with_body, with behaviour changes rippling to many consumers (body mixins, static routes, HEAD framing, spawn stdin), a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The three to_any_blob().unwrap() calls inside on_data's buffer_action branch remain safe: to_buffered_value rejects a stored error before installing the action, and append(Err) panics if one is set, so has_pending_error() cannot hold there.
• The new Source::Bytes error branch in do_render_with_body mirrors the existing Rejected arm's cleanup ordering (swap out response_body_readable_stream_ref, report/reject, stream.cancel, readable_ref.deinit).
• use_as_any_blob / use_as_any_blob_allow_non_utf8_string already handled None via .unwrap_or(default blob), so their outcome is unchanged (still an empty blob) and no error is leaked — it stays on the stream and is released with the Locked value.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a data-loss/silent-failure bug: when a native ByteStream (e.g. a fetch() response body) receives a producer error while no consumer is attached, the error is stored in pending.result and the buffer is dropped. Two fast paths — ByteStream::to_any_blob and ByteStream::on_start — read has_received_last_chunk && buffer.is_empty() as a clean EOF, so the error was discarded and every downstream consumer (Bun.serve, body mixins, getReader().read(), static routes) saw a successful empty body instead of the failure.

The fix adds has_pending_error() and consults it in to_any_blob (return None) and on_start (return Start::Ready so the first on_pull delivers the error). RequestContext::do_render_with_body's Source::Bytes branch now checks take_pending_error() and routes it through a new report_and_reject_stream helper extracted verbatim from do_render_stream's already-rejected arm, so native and JS streams that are already errored at render time get identical treatment. Comprehensive tests are added in both the serve fixture and the body-mixin suite.

Security risks

None identified. The change is error-propagation only; no new input parsing, no auth/crypto, no untrusted data handling. If anything it improves correctness by surfacing a previously-silent truncation.

Level of scrutiny

High. ByteStream is the shared native source behind fetch bodies, request bodies, and HTMLRewriter output; to_any_blob/on_start are reached from Body::to_blob_if_possible and every consumer that follows. RequestContext::do_render_with_body is the hot response-render path in Bun.serve. The PR's own behaviour table lists ~12 distinct consumer outcomes that change. While each change is small and the reasoning is very well documented, the blast radius and the number of callers whose None fallbacks now become live make this worth a maintainer's eyes.

Other factors

• I traced the internal .unwrap() callers of to_any_blob() in on_data and confirmed the invariant (buffer_action.is_some() ⟹ !has_pending_error()) still holds via to_buffered_value's pre-check and append(Err)'s panic guard, so the new None return cannot reach them.
• The report_and_reject_stream extraction is a byte-for-byte move of the inline block in the Rejected arm; the new call site uses the same cleanup sequence.
• The two use_as_any_blob* callers in Body.rs already .unwrap_or(empty blob) on None, so their observable output is unchanged from before (an empty blob either way); the stored error is released when the Locked value is dropped, so no leak is introduced there.
• Tests are thorough, deterministic (raw socket upstream that closes only after res.body is materialized, then polls Bun.inspect(res) until the body value transitions), and cover both Bun.serve modes plus every body mixin. The PR description records fails-before/passes-after and a broad regression sweep.
• No prior review comments; only the robobun status note.

[claude]

Additional findings (outside current diff — PR may have been updated during review):

• 🟡 src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:3273-3280 — The PR description (Fix section, 'Why this is the right contract' paragraph, and the behaviour table) describes the earlier report_and_reject_stream revision from commit 2b9d1db, not the end_sink_with_pending_error() → end_chunk implementation that landed in 726b3bc. It says a native errored-before-render body renders '200, empty chunked body, error() not called (same as an errored JS stream)', but the tests at serve-stream-body-error.test.ts:90-102 pin the opposite: 500, err-body:ECONNRESET, errorCb: 2, stderr: "". Please update the description so reviewers and future archaeology see the actual contract (native errored-before-render → error(), intentionally divergent from the JS-stream 200-empty-chunked path).

  Extended reasoning...

  What is stale

  The PR description was written against commit 2b9d1db and never updated after the s3 test failure prompted the refactor in 726b3bc. Three concrete mismatches:

  1. report_and_reject_stream does not exist. The Fix section says "do_render_with_body's Source::Bytes branch takes the stored error and routes it through report_and_reject_stream, a small helper extracted from do_render_stream's already-rejected arm". Grep confirms no such function exists in the tree. The CodeRabbit inline comment on this PR still references it at lines 2940-2948 because it was analysing the earlier commit. The landed diff instead installs the sink, defers metadata when byte_stream.has_pending_error(), and calls byte_stream.end_sink_with_pending_error() (RequestContext.rs:3273-3280), which routes through SinkHandle::end(Some(err)) → end_chunk.

  2. The described wire behaviour is the opposite of what the tests pin. The description and the behaviour table say a native errored-before-render body produces "the Response's own status and headers, empty chunked body, error() not invoked, and the error reported to stderr" / "200, empty chunked body, error on stderr, error() not called (same as an errored JS stream)". But end_chunk at RequestContext.rs:3370-3377 checks !has_written_status() and calls this.run_error_handler(js_err) — and the has_pending_error() branch at lines 3256-3265 explicitly defers metadata precisely so that check is true. The test at serve-stream-body-error.test.ts:90-102 asserts the actual outcome on every axis:

  axis	description says	tests assert
  status	200	HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
  body	empty chunked	err-body:ECONNRESET
  error()	not invoked	errorCb: 2
  stderr	error reported	"" (error() handled it)

  3. The 'identical to JS streams' rationale no longer describes what shipped. The 'Why this is the right contract' paragraph justifies making native and JS errored-before-render streams behave identically ("Whether that stream is JS-backed or native-backed is an implementation detail the handler cannot observe, so the native one must not get a third behaviour"). But the tests deliberately pin them to different behaviours: JS pull-throw → 200 / empty chunked / errorCb: 0 / stderr report (lines 34-56); native → 500 / error() body / errorCb: 2 / no stderr. The test comment at lines 75-83 gives the actual rationale: "Nothing has been committed to the client at that point, so the failure goes to error() exactly as it does when the handler returns the failed fetch() Response itself, or when such a producer fails right after Bun.serve attaches (see end_chunk)."

  Step-by-step trace of the actual behaviour

  1. Handler returns new Response(body) where body is a native ByteStream whose producer already failed (has_received_last_chunk = true, pending.result = Err(ECONNRESET), buffer empty).
  2. to_any_blob() now returns None because has_pending_error() is true (ByteStream.rs:746), so to_blob_if_possible leaves the body Locked and do_render_with_body reaches the Source::Bytes branch.
  3. RequestContext.rs:3211-3213: has_received_last_chunk && !has_pending_error() is false → skip the drain-as-blob fast path.
  4. Line 3256: byte_stream.has_pending_error() is true → take the branch that does nothing (defers status/headers). has_written_status() remains false.
  5. Line 3278: byte_stream.end_sink_with_pending_error() takes the stored error and calls sink.end(Some(err)), which reaches end_chunk.
  6. end_chunk sees !has_written_status() → calls this.run_error_handler(js_err) → the user's error() callback runs and returns the 500 response. Nothing is written to stderr because error() handled it.

  Why this matters

  The code and tests are internally consistent — there is no runtime defect here. But the PR description is what reviewers read to understand the intended contract, and it currently states a contract the tests would reject. Anyone doing archaeology on this change (or evaluating the JS-vs-native divergence) will be misled. The behaviour table's first two rows and the 'Why this is the right contract' paragraph need rewriting to describe the end_chunk-based path and to justify (or at least state) why native errored-before-render bodies now go to error() while JS ones keep the 200-empty-chunked contract.

  Fix

  Update the PR description: remove the report_and_reject_stream reference, replace the first two rows of the behaviour table with 500 via error() (or "default 500 + stderr" when no error() is configured), and rewrite the contract paragraph to match the test comment's rationale — that a native error known before any bytes are committed is routed to error() the same way a post-attach failure or return res is, rather than mirroring the JS-stream path.

[robobun]

The description was rewritten for the current revision shortly after that review started: it now describes the end_sink_with_pending_error -> end_chunk path and the error() outcome (see the Fix bullets and the behaviour table), and the first revision's handle_reject_stream routing is summarized in the "First revision of this PR" details block.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes error-propagation semantics on a hot Bun.serve path (the native ByteStream attach in do_render_with_body) with ref-count implications, and the error-channel routing was already reworked once after review, a human look would still be worthwhile.

Checked: has_pending_error() is guarded consistently across to_any_blob, on_start, and the Source::Bytes fast path; append(Err) always clears the buffer, so has_body_bytes is false when the deferred-metadata branch runs and end_chunk sees !has_written_status().
Traced end_sink_with_pending_error → SinkHandle::end → AnyRequestContext::end_chunk, which adopts the +1 from this.ref_() at RequestContext.rs:3222 and checks is_aborted_or_ended() on entry; the caller returns immediately without touching this afterward.
The extracted end_sink helper writes self.sink/self.sink_paused before sink.end() so no ByteStream field is touched after the re-entrant call; Blob.rs set_handled matches the pattern in s3/client.rs and html_rewriter.rs.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes ByteStream reporting a stored producer error as a clean empty body. Runtime changes span three files: ByteStream.rs adds has_pending_error() / end_sink_with_pending_error() and guards to_any_blob and on_start on the stored error; RequestContext.rs extends the Source::Bytes attach path to skip the buffered-blob fast path, defer metadata, and deliver the stored error through end_chunk; Blob.rs marks the pump's already-rejected promise handled before forwarding it. Test coverage is extensive (three new fixture variants in serve-stream-body-error.test.ts, seven body-mixin cases, an upload-abort case in bun-server.test.ts, and a tightened S3 test).

Security risks

None. This is error-propagation plumbing; no parsing of untrusted input, no auth/crypto/permissions.

Level of scrutiny

High. do_render_with_body is the core Bun.serve response path and the change has ref-count implications: end_sink_with_pending_error synchronously drives end_chunk, which RequestContextRef::adopts the +1 taken at line 3222 and may free the context. I traced this and it is balanced (the caller of do_render_with_body holds its own ref, and after end_sink_with_pending_error returns true nothing dereferences this), and it matches the existing on_data → end_sink → end_chunk shape. I also verified append(Err) clears the buffer in both capacity branches, so has_body_bytes is always false when an error is stored, keeping the metadata-deferral branch and !has_written_status() in end_chunk consistent.

Other factors

The design decision — route the stored error through end_chunk → error() rather than handle_reject_stream — was already reworked once in this PR after review; that plus the user-visible behavior change (empty 200 → error()/500 across several consumers, per the PR's before/after table) is the kind of policy call a maintainer should confirm. All CodeRabbit and comment-cop threads are resolved in the current revision (comments are one-liners, polling loops are bounded, upstream sockets are destroyed on cleanup).

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. It changes user-visible behavior in a core code path (Bun.serve body rendering, ByteStream error propagation) and encodes a policy decision about which channel stored native-stream errors reach, so a human sign-off would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Ref-count balance in the new RequestContext path: this.ref_() at :3222 is adopted by end_chunk's RequestContextRef::adopt; nothing touches this or byte_stream after end_sink_with_pending_error() returns true.
• end_sink ordering: all self writes (sink.set(None), sink_paused.set(false)) happen before sink.end() re-enters, matching the existing on_data error arm.
• to_any_blob().unwrap() callers in on_data — the buffer-action Err arm and to_buffered_value's pre-check mean has_pending_error() is false at every unwrap site.
• has_body_bytes is always false when a pending error is stored (append(Err) clears the buffer), so the metadata-defer branch is taken and has_written_status() is false in end_chunk.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes ByteStream reporting a stored producer error (one that arrived while nothing was attached) as a clean empty body. Three sites are changed: to_any_blob() returns None instead of an empty blob when an error is stored; on_start() returns Ready instead of Empty so the first pull delivers the error; and the Source::Bytes fast path in RequestContext::do_render_with_body now attaches to such a stream and delivers the stored error through end_sink_with_pending_error() → end_chunk, which routes it to the server's error() hook. A one-line set_handled is added in Blob::pipe_readable_stream_to_blob so the newly-surfaced rejection isn't also reported as unhandled. Four test files gain coverage for the fetch/HTMLRewriter, request-body, body-mixin, and S3 producers.

Security risks

None identified. The change surfaces errors that were previously swallowed; it does not widen any input surface, change validation, or touch auth/crypto.

Level of scrutiny

High. RequestContext is the Bun.serve response rendering path and ByteStream backs every native ReadableStream (fetch bodies, request bodies, HTMLRewriter output). The change involves ref-count transfer across a re-entrant callback (sink.end → end_chunk → user error() → possible GC/close), and it changes user-visible behavior: handlers that previously received a silent empty 200 will now have error() invoked (or get a default 500), and body-mixin methods that resolved empty now reject.

Other factors

• The PR has been through one revision cycle: the first revision routed through handle_reject_stream and was reworked to use end_chunk so pre-attach and post-attach failures share one policy. The current design is well-argued in the description.
• Test coverage is thorough: three fixture variants (before-render, rewriter-before-render, after-attach control) × both modes × with/without error(), plus the body-mixin family, request-body abort, and the tightened S3 test. All are stated to fail on the unfixed build.
• CodeRabbit's three findings are resolved (bounded polling loops added, socket cleanup added, and the run_error_handler liveness concern withdrawn after the rework). The comment-cop "paragraph-long comment" flags were addressed by trimming to one-line comments.
• I traced the memory-safety implications of the new end_sink_with_pending_error call site and found the ref adopted correctly with no post-free access; end_sink mirrors the existing on_data error arm exactly. The to_any_blob change is safe at every .unwrap() call site because those paths are guarded by earlier Err checks.
• The remaining reason to defer is scope: this is a deliberate behavioral/policy change in a hot path, not a mechanical fix, and warrants a maintainer's sign-off on the error()-routing decision.

@robobun rebase

[claude]

I reviewed the latest push and found no new bugs; the fixture rewrite (text-mode reader, exact rejected boom check, no timed waits) and the tightened S3 assertion cover the earlier inline notes. Because this reworks ByteStream's buffer bookkeeping and changes what Bun.serve sends for a body that failed while idle (silent 200 to error()/500), a maintainer look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Buffered: every path that empties bytes (take, clear, copy_out) resets consumed; the removed IntoArrayAndDone arm in on_pull only fired for an all-taken-but-undropped buffer, a state copy_out no longer leaves behind.
• on_start returning Ready with a stored error: the first on_pull then sees an empty buffer and has_received_last_chunk, so it hits the stored-error arm rather than Done.
• RequestContext attach path: append(Err) clears the buffer, so has_body_bytes is false and the deferred-headers branch is taken; end_sink_with_pending_error dispatches end_chunk through the SinkHandle copy and the caller returns before touching this again.

Extended reasoning...

The diff reworks src/runtime/webcore/ByteStream.rs (buffer plus consumed index folded into a Buffered struct, stored producer errors surfaced from on_start/to_any_blob/on_pull), adjusts the Bun.serve response-render path in src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs to route a stored error to end_chunk, and changes one HTMLRewriter pacing read; it adds subprocess fixtures and tests for the panic and the empty-body cases. No auth, crypto, or injection surface is touched. The bug hunt ran dry and the push since the last review addresses the earlier inline notes, but the change is a 240-line rewrite of a core native streaming primitive with manual pointer-lifetime handling and a user-visible behavior change, and a maintainer commented recently, so a human review is still appropriate rather than an automated approval.

Rebased onto main at bd599f5 and squashed to one commit (13378c5). The diff against main is the same 11 files. The affected suites pass on the rebased debug build (fetch.stream 121, serve-stream-body-error 26, body-mixin-errors and the S3 write test 55 across 3 files, bun-server 81, html-rewriter 189).

[claude]

I re-reviewed the latest two commits and found no new bugs; the earlier inline items are addressed at HEAD (the partial-read error fixture now drives the text-mode drain() route, compares the exact rejected boom outcome and paces with setImmediate turns instead of sleeps, and s3-write-to-file-sync-close.test.ts pins the rejection). Because this rewrites the native ByteStream buffer bookkeeping and adds a ref-adopting early return in the Bun.serve attach path, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Buffered: every path that used to empty buffer now goes through take/clear, both of which reset consumed; copy_out only advances consumed within bytes.len(), so take()'s drain(..consumed) cannot overrun; held_len() keeps the HTMLRewriter pacing on the whole Vec as before.
• The removed IntoArrayAndDone arm in on_pull: with is_empty() now excluding the taken prefix, to_write == 0 is unreachable and the next pull returns Done/the stored Err; fulfill_promise replaces a delivered Err with Temporary, so has_pending_error() cannot re-fire after a pending read consumed it.
• RequestContext.rs:3290: end_sink_with_pending_error runs after sink.set and the ref_(); end_chunk adopts that ref and, with headers deferred, routes to run_error_handler; the function returns immediately after, so no this use follows a possible free. A stored error and buffered bytes cannot coexist (append(Err) clears), so has_body_bytes never wins over the deferred branch.
• Tests: the Bun.inspect(res) polls are bounded (10 s, 1 ms) on an observable transition; the S3 download mode's ordering heuristic only affects which route is exercised, not whether the read rejects.

Extended reasoning...

The change replaces ByteStream's separate buffer/offset fields with a Buffered struct whose take/clear/copy_out keep the consumed index consistent, makes a producer error stored while nothing was reading surface through on_start, to_any_blob and a new end_sink_with_pending_error, and adjusts the Bun.serve body-attach path in RequestContext.rs to route such a stream to error() instead of an empty 200; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. The two new commits address the fixture and test items raised in earlier runs, and the bug hunt ran dry with one minor ruled-out candidate. It is not approved outright because the diff is a 240-line refactor of native stream state plus a new early return after a ref is taken and a user-JS-running end_chunk, which the repository's review rules treat as the highest-scrutiny category.
