I reviewed this and didn't find any bugs. The fix is well-scoped and the tests are thorough, but since it adds a synchronous stat to Blob.slice() (a previously syscall-free path) and reclassifies ranges in serve.test.ts from bad to good, a human sign-off on those two design points would be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:

Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR fixes Bun.file(path).slice(-n) returning the wrong bytes when the file has not yet been stat'd — the negative index was being counted back from the MAX_SIZE sentinel (~2^52) instead of the file's real size. The fix in src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs refactors get_slice to parse start/end as Option<i64> first, and when either is negative and the blob's end is still the sentinel, calls a new size_for_relative_index() that synchronously stat/fstats the file store to get the real size (regular files only; pipes/devices keep the unknown size; stat error → 0). A stat_file() helper is extracted and resolve_file_stat() is deduplicated to use it. test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts gains a 60-line describe block exercising every consumer of the sliced window; test/js/bun/http/serve.test.ts moves five negative-index ranges from badRanges into the good matrix and generalizes the 200-vs-206 assertion.
Security risks
None identified. The new syscall is stat/fstat on a path or fd the caller already controls via Bun.file(). st_size is clamped with .max(0) and cast through u64 before saturating_sub(offset), so a negative or hostile st_size cannot underflow. No user-controlled length drives an allocation here — the result feeds the same relative_start/relative_end arithmetic as before.
Level of scrutiny
Moderate. This is a focused correctness fix to a Web API (Blob.slice) with a clear root cause and a minimal change surface. The main design choice a maintainer should confirm is adding a synchronous stat inside slice() — the PR scopes it to the negative-index-on-unknown-end case only (positive indices and already-stat'd blobs skip it), and .size already does a sync stat, so this is consistent with existing behavior. The stat is deliberately not cached so the parent Bun.file's later .size/reads are unaffected, and there's a test pinning that. The serve.test.ts reclassification of [-N, Infinity] from bad to good is a real behavior change worth a maintainer glance, though the PR argues (correctly, per the W3C slice algorithm) that these were always valid ranges.
Other factors
The resolve_file_stat refactor is byte-for-byte equivalent to the old two-arm match — same ISREG || st_size > 0 branch, same field writes, same silent-error-on-missing-file. The new tests follow repo conventions (tempDir, port: 0, test.each, object .toEqual, no timing waits) and cover the not-cached invariant, nested slices with offsets, Bun.serve, fetch upload, FormData, and ENOENT rejection. The serve.test.ts status predicate change (expected.byteLength < full.byteLength vs the old start > 0 || end < full.byteLength) yields identical results for every pre-existing good entry and correctly handles the new negative-index entries. CODEOWNERS does not cover any of the changed files. Bug hunt exited on dry_streak with no findings.
A Bun.file() that nothing has stat'd has an unknown size (MAX_SIZE). get_slice counted a negative start or end back from that sentinel, so slice(-5) pointed near byte 2^52. On Linux the read then started at byte 0, and slice(0, -1) kept the last byte. When an index is negative and the end of a file Blob is unknown, stat the file and count back from its current size. The stat is not cached in the store, so the parent Blob keeps its behavior. A pipe or a device keeps the unknown size. resolve_file_stat and the new code share one stat_file helper.
An empty regular file gives an empty slice with the size 0. The parent Bun.file still sees an unlink after slice(-n), because slice() does not cache its stat in the store.

Resolve the real end of a bounded file slice.
If a 26-byte file is sliced with file.slice(0, 100).slice(-5), the first slice stores size 100 without a stat. This branch returns 100, so the second slice starts at offset 95 and reads no bytes instead of the last five bytes. A finite slice bound does not prove that the file contains that many bytes. Stat and clamp the available length when resolving a negative index for a file-backed slice whose bound has not been checked against the file.

🟡 (optional) Users slicing a procfs-style file with a negative index now get an empty result where the base branch returned the file's content. At Blob.rs:5805-5807 a regular file whose stat reports st_size 0 (every /proc file) makes size_for_relative_index return 0, so slice(0, -1) collapses to a (0, 0) window and text() yields "". The PR's Downsides note calls this accepted, but it silently drops data for existing callers. Fix: a fix within the purpose must keep the read-to-EOF path for regular files that report st_size 0, e.g. treat that case like the non-regular arm at Blob.rs:5808 and return the unknown size, or the call is the author's.
Why this was flagged
A caller runs Bun.file("/proc/version").slice(0, -1).text() (or slice(0, -3), or any negative index) on a fresh handle whose size nothing has read. get_slice at src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:1859 sees end < 0 and calls size_for_relative_index. The stat succeeds and the file is regular, so Blob.rs:5806 returns st_size.saturating_sub(offset), which is 0 because procfs reports st_size 0 for files that have content. relative_end at Blob.rs:1874 becomes max(-1 + 0, 0) = 0, get_slice_from builds a blob with offset 0 and size 0, and ReadFile returns no bytes. On the base branch the same call read the whole file: relative_end was MAX_SIZE - 1 and the reader read to EOF. Sibling inputs: /proc/self/status, /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/1/cgroup, /proc/loadavg. resolve_file_stat at Blob.rs:5835 has the same ISREG || st_size > 0 shape but that is the cached path; the new uncached arm at Blob.rs:5805 keys only on ISREG and so cannot tell an empty file from a procfs file. The PR description lists this under Downsides; no safeguard prevents it.
Verification: nit, acknowledged in diff: the PR description's "Downsides" and "Not in this PR" sections state exactly this ("A file with st_size 0 gives an empty slice, as in Node. On main, a fresh Bun.file("/proc/version").slice(0, -3) read the whole file"); the stated bound (only regular files whose stat reports st_size 0, i.e. procfs/sysfs-style files, only on a handle nothing has stat'd, only…

🟡 nit (optional): the fd-backed sibling of this fix has no test, so a regression in Bun.file(fd).slice(-n) or Bun.stdin.slice(-n) on a regular file would go unnoticed. Every new case here goes through the Path arm of stat_file (src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5817); the Fd arm at Blob.rs:5821, which the PR text says now returns the last bytes for a regular-file stdin, is never exercised with a negative index. Fix: add a case alongside these that opens the fixture with fs.openSync and asserts Bun.file(fd).slice(-5) gives size 5 and text "vwxyz", plus a spawned Bun.stdin.slice(-5) run with stdin redirected from a regular file.
Why this was flagged
size_for_relative_index at src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5793 dispatches on store::Data::File and calls stat_file, which has two arms: Path (bun_sys::stat, Blob.rs:5817) and Fd (bun_sys::fstat, Blob.rs:5821). The new describe block at test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts:773 and the serve.test.ts ranges only ever construct Bun.file(path), so only the Path arm runs under a negative index. The PR description claims Bun.stdin.slice(-5) on a regular-file stdin now yields the last 5 bytes, but no test spawns that scenario and no test uses Bun.file(fd).slice(-n). The repository review rules ask that every sibling entry point receiving the same fix be covered; on the base branch neither entry point worked, so nothing pre-existing covers them either. This is a coverage gap, not an observed misbehaviour: reading the Fd arm and ReadFile's set_file_offset path at src/runtime/webcore/blob/read_file.rs:736 suggests it works.
Verification: nit. Trigger: any future regression in the Fd arm of the new stat path (Bun.file(fd).slice(-n) / Bun.stdin.slice(-n) on a regular file) would pass the suite. Mechanism verified: size_for_relative_index (/home/claude/bun/src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5793) calls stat_file(&file.pathlike) for any store::Data::File, and stat_file (Blob.rs:5815) has two arms —… | nit — triggering condition:…

There was a problem hiding this comment.
🟡 nit (optional): the append test only checks the streamed parent body's length, so a stream that returns 36 wrong bytes still passes. At test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts:861 the stream field is .length of the bytes, while the text field asserts the content. Fix: compare the streamed bytes to the appended content (e.g. Buffer.from(bytes).toString() against content + "0123456789"), matching the sibling text assertion, so the stream path proves it reads the whole grown file rather than any 36 bytes.
Why this was flagged
The test at test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts:851-872 slices a fresh Bun.file with slice(-5), appends 10 bytes, then reads the parent through new Response(file).body and asserts only (await Bun.readableStreamToBytes(...)).length equals 36 at line 861. A regression that made the file stream start at the wrong offset or serve stale bytes of the right length (for example reading 36 bytes from a cached window or a different position) would still satisfy this assertion. The repository review rules ask for exact bytes rather than lengths so an assertion cannot pass on wrong content. The base branch has no such test, so this is a weakness of the new test only, not a runtime defect.
Verification: nit. Verified at /home/claude/bun/test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts:861: stream: (await Bun.readableStreamToBytes(new Response(file).body!)).length, is compared against stream: 36 (line 866), while the sibling text: await file.text() (line 863) is compared against the actual content content + "0123456789" (line 868).

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: Pre-existing, kept by this rewrite: a crafted structured-clone payload can make Bun abort in slice() instead of throwing. Blob.rs:3841 reads a file record's size as a raw u64 and Blob.rs:3929 stores any value except MAX_SIZE unclamped. A size above i64::MAX then hits i64::try_from(size).expect("int cast") at Blob.rs:1864 and panics. Fix: validate the size at the deserialize boundary (reject or clamp a file record size above MAX_SIZE at Blob.rs:3929, as offset is clamped for byte stores) so every later expect/unwrap on blob.size, including Blob.rs:1796-1797, is unreachable.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
A user passes untrusted bytes to deserialize from "bun:jsc" (BunJSCModule.h:1043), or receives them through any structured-clone channel. The payload is a version 4 File record; on_structured_clone_deserialize at Blob.rs:3841 reads its size with reader.read_int_le::<u64>() and Blob.rs:3926-3931 sets blob.size to that value whenever it is not MAX_SIZE. For a file store store.size() is MAX_SIZE (webcore_types.rs:943), so the clamp at Blob.rs:3934 does not run. Calling .slice() on that Blob reaches Blob.rs:1859-1864: neither index is negative, size is the stored u64, and i64::try_from(size).expect("int cast") panics for any value above i64::MAX, aborting the process. The base branch had the same expect at the old line 1839 and at 1856/1866, so the crash is pre-existing; this diff rewrote those lines and kept the panic rather than validating at the boundary. .size and .text() on the same blob do not panic, so the panic is specific to slice().
Verification: pre-existing (base already aborts by the same route; the diff rewrites and keeps the panicking cast). Trigger: a version-4 File record whose 8-byte size field is > i64::MAX (e.g. 0xFFFF_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF) fed to deserialize() from "bun:jsc" (src/jsc/modules/BunJSCModule.h:884-903 accepts any ArrayBuffer and hands it to SerializedScriptValue), then .slice() on the resulting Blob.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: Pre-existing, left by this partial fix: a negative index on a file slice that has an explicit positive end past EOF still counts back from that end, not the file's real end. src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5795 treats any window with offset + size < MAX_SIZE as a known size, but Bun.file(p).slice(0, 5000) on a 10-byte unstat'd file has size 5000. So .slice(-5) on it reads at offset 4995 and returns "" while new Blob(bytes).slice(0, 5000).slice(-5) gives the last 5 bytes. Fix: in size_for_relative_index stat whenever the store's size has not been resolved (file.seekable is None or max_size is MAX_SIZE), not only when the window reaches MAX_SIZE, so every un-stat'd file slice counts back from st_size.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
A caller does Bun.file(path).slice(0, 5000).slice(-5) (or slice(5, 5000).slice(-5)) on a 10-byte file whose size nothing has read. get_slice at src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:1859 sees a negative index and calls size_for_relative_index. At src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:5795 the child has offset 0 and size 5000, so offset.saturating_add(size) < MAX_SIZE is true and it returns 5000 without a stat. relative_start becomes 4995 and relative_end 5000 (src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:1868, 1875), so the slice is offset 4995, len 5, past EOF, and .text() gives "" and .size gives 5. An in-memory Blob of the same bytes gives "fghij" and size 5 clamped to the real end. The base branch gives the same wrong "" here, so this is pre-existing, but it is the same class the PR title says it fixes (count a negative index back from the file's real end) and the new helper's guard is what leaves it out. The PR description's over-report note (#32794, #33360) covers .size, not the wrong bytes a negative index then produces.
Verification: pre-existing (the base fails the same way by the same route; this PR's fix does not reach this path). Trigger: a negative index applied to a file slice whose parent was never stat'd and whose explicit positive end exceeds the real file size, e.g. Bun.file(p).slice(0, 5000).slice(-5) on a 10-byte file.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: Pre-existing, kept by this rewrite: slice() ignores any index that is not already a number, so callers passing an object, boolean, or numeric string get the whole blob instead of the WebIDL [Clamp] long long conversion browsers and Node apply. At Blob.rs:1850-1857 the new .filter(|v| v.is_number()) drops such values to None, and Blob.rs:1840-1846 routes a numeric string like "2" into the content-type slot. The new test "an object index gives the same bytes as an in-memory Blob" in blob.test.ts pins this deviation rather than the spec result. Fix: coerce start/end with ToNumber (propagating a thrown valueOf) before the < 0 check, then truncate toward zero, so { valueOf: () => -5 }, true, and "2" behave as -5, 1, and 2 for both file and in-memory blobs.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
A caller runs blob.slice({ valueOf: () => -5 }) or blob.slice(true, 3) or blob.slice("2", "4") on any Blob or Bun.file, through BlobExt::get_slice at src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:1826. The File API declares slice(optional [Clamp] long long start, optional [Clamp] long long end, optional DOMString contentType), so WebIDL applies ToNumber: the object becomes -5, true becomes 1, "2" becomes 2. Blob.rs:1852 and Blob.rs:1856 filter on is_number() instead, so the object and boolean are treated as absent and the whole blob is returned; Blob.rs:1840 moves a string first argument into the contentType slot. The base branch had the same is_number check, so this is pre-existing, but the PR rewrote these lines and added a test in test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts that asserts Bun.file(...).slice(index).text() equals new Blob([content]).slice(index).text(), which passes only because both return the whole content. Browsers and Node return "vwxyz" for the valueOf case, so a test copied from a browser fixture would fail here; no safeguard covers this path.
Verification: pre-existing — the base branch fails the same way by the same route (the old code at the removed lines if start_.is_number() { ... } / if end_.is_number() { ... } had the identical gate), but this PR rewrites exactly those lines and keeps the gate rather than porting the WebIDL [Clamp] long long conversion.

A fix has to stat in each call without the cache, or wait for one owner of the stat cache.st_sizeis 0 and that has content (procfs). The length is not known without a read, soslice()cannot find the window. It needs a window that counts from the end and that each reader resolves.Bun.servewithBun.file(fd).slice(...)stalls on main and on this branch, for a positive index too. The server sends aContent-Lengthfor the whole file.Design
ReadFile,FileReader,do_sendfile,Bun.write, and spawn stdin would each need it, and.sizeof the slice still needs the stat.resolved_size(). That call caches the stat. With the cache,f.slice(-5)followed by an append madef.size,f.text(), andnew Response(f).bodystop at the old size. Sosize_for_relative_indexshares only the stat call (stat_file) withresolve_file_stat.get_size. It is the first item of "Not in this PR". The second is a test that pinsBun.file(p).slice(0, 100).size === 100for a small file. That value is the over-report that Fix Bun.file().slice() being treated as the rest of the file #32794 and Bun.file: stop a file's stat size from capping reads of the whole file #33360 are about.slice()runs. If the file grows later,slice(-5)reads the 5 bytes that were last at that time. A handle after.sizedoes the same on main.serve.test.tsnow comes from the expected body length. The server sends 206 when the body is shorter than the file. For every range that was in the list before, the result is the same.Bun.stdin.slice(-5)over a pipe gives the same result as on main. When stdin is a regular file, it now gives the last 5 bytes.Tests
