…rent offset from_blob_copy_ref handed the FileReader start_offset: Some(0) for every unsliced Blob, so the reader used pread from offset 0 and never advanced the fd's offset. For an inherited regular-file stdin that re-read the prefix the parent shell consumed and left the shared offset in place for the next reader. Pass the offset only for a slice with a nonzero offset. Otherwise the reader uses read(2), like Bun.stdin.text() does.

LGTM — the backtick-delimited tail argument fixes the quoting, and tr -d ' ' handles BSD wc padding, so both earlier findings are resolved.
What was reviewed: the start_offset change routes unsliced file Blobs through read(2) instead of pread(0) — for path-opened fds (offset 0) the bytes are identical, and for inherited fds it now matches Bun.stdin.text()/fs.readSync(0)/Node. Checked that slice(0, n) still bounds via max_size when start_offset is None. Tests follow harness conventions (tempDir, test.concurrent, concurrent pipe drain, combined-object assertion) and cover the sibling entry points plus shared-offset advancement.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR changes one expression in src/runtime/webcore/ReadableStream.rs — start_offset on the FileReader built from a file-backed Blob is now Some(offset) only when the Blob was sliced (offset != 0), otherwise None. This switches an unsliced Bun.file(fd).stream() / Bun.stdin.stream() / process.stdin on a regular file from pread(fd, buf, n, 0) to plain read(fd, buf, n), so the reader starts at the fd's inherited offset and advances the shared open-file-description position. Four new POSIX-only concurrent tests in test/js/node/process/process-stdin.test.ts exercise the three user-visible entry points and the offset the next reader in the shell group observes.
Security risks
None. This is a read-side offset-selection change on a file descriptor the process already owns; no new input parsing, no privilege or path handling, no network. The tests spawn sh -c with a fixed command template and a JSON.stringify'd -e script — no user-controlled interpolation.
Level of scrutiny
Low-to-moderate. The native change is three lines with a clear invariant: a fresh fd Bun opened for a path starts at offset 0, so read and pread(0) are equivalent there; only an inherited fd can differ, and for that case read is what Node and Bun's non-stream stdin consumers already do. max_size is set independently, so slice(0, n) still bounds correctly with start_offset: None. The behavior change for arbitrary Bun.file(fd).stream() is the intended fix and aligns the stream path with .text().
Other factors
Both issues raised in earlier rounds of this review are fixed in the current diff: the BSD wc -c left-padding is stripped via tr -d ' ', and the tail argument is now a backtick template literal (where $( is not an interpolation trigger), so the inner single quotes around the space reach tr intact. No CODEOWNERS cover the changed paths, no human CHANGES_REQUESTED reviews are outstanding, and the hunt exited on dry_streak.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the sliced-at-zero case (file.slice(0, n).stream()) that now takes the read(2) path: FileReader::on_start applies set_limit(self.max_size) before choosing between start_file_offset and start (src/runtime/webcore/FileReader.rs:399-405), so the length bound is honored either way, and to_any_blob leaves a None offset at 0, which is what an unsliced Blob already had.
Extended reasoning...
The net diff is unchanged since the last review; the only new commit is a merge from main. One new finding (no Windows coverage for the libuv offset -1 path) is posted inline; the max_size/read(2) interplay and the to_any_blob round-trip were examined and are not affected.

🔴 The Windows half of this fix ships with no test: the whole describe is skipIf(isWindows), so the libuv offset -1 path the PR relies on is never exercised and a regression there stays green. The block only skips Windows because it drives the scenario through sh, read, cat, wc and tr (test/js/node/process/process-stdin.test.ts:679, :706). Fix: make the four cases run on every platform without a shell: open in.txt with fs.openSync, consume the header with fs.readSync(fd, buf) (position null advances the shared offset), spawn bun with Bun.spawn({ stdin: fd }), and after exited assert fs.readSync(fd, buf) returns 0 in place of cat | wc -c.
Why this was flagged
On Windows an unsliced file Blob now takes the start_offset: None branch at src/runtime/webcore/ReadableStream.rs:548, which reaches WindowsBufferedReader with USE_PREAD unset and passes -1 to uv_fs_read at src/io/PipeReader.rs:1590 and :1669; on the base branch that reader always got offset 0. Nothing checks this: test/js/node/process/process-stdin.test.ts:673 is describe.skipIf(isWindows), and the PR's own evidence block says the tests were deferred to CI, which skips them on Windows. The shell dependency is the only reason for the skip; Bun.spawn accepts stdin: <fd> (src/runtime/api/bun/spawn/stdio.rs:441-489 maps a number to Stdio::Fd), which on POSIX dup2s the fd and on Windows inherits the handle, both sharing the file position with the parent, so fs.openSync + fs.readSync in the parent reproduces read hdr and a post-exit fs.readSync returning 0 reproduces the cat | wc -c check. The same rewrite also removes the BSD-vs-GNU tool differences that already needed a tr -d ' ' patch on this block.
Verification: Trigger is any Windows CI run, so a Windows-only regression of this change can never turn a test red. src/runtime/webcore/ReadableStream.rs:548-549 changes start_offset to None with no platform gate, so the Windows reader now passes -1 to uv_fs_read instead of _offset = 0 as on the base. The new block at test/js/node/process/process-stdin.test.ts:673 is describe.skipIf(isWindows)(...).
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agreed: the Windows path has no coverage in this PR, and I cannot run Windows.
I wrote the shell-free version you describe. The parent opens in.txt with fs.openSync, consumes the header with fs.readSync, passes the fd as the child's stdin, and calls fs.readSync again after the child exits to see what the next reader gets. It has three tests (the old fourth test is now the left: 0 check in the first two). On Linux all three fail on main 4b02e10 (stdout has the header, 12 bytes are left for the next reader) and pass with this change.
It is not pushed. CI on this head is green (build 122398, 181 of 181 jobs), and a push starts a new run. If a maintainer wants it before the merge, I push it. If not, I open it as a follow-up PR after the merge, so that the Windows lanes run it.

I checked this branch again on main 5c6d4e2, which is 232 commits after the base of the branch. It merges without conflicts. All results are from Linux x64. I made two debug builds of 5c6d4e2, one with this change and one without. The stdin rows use
The last two rows make the first Downsides bullet narrower. These test files pass with the change: Two open points:

A later check found a fault in this change, so my comment above is not the whole picture. With this change, #46700 fixes the same stdin rows with a narrower rule. Only stdin follows the position, and every other file stream stays as on main. Only one of the two PRs can land. |

Checked again against main 179664e.
Only one of the two PRs can land. That choice is for a maintainer, so this PR stays open. |
