Stacked on #43871.

Problem

• new Response(Bun.file("/proc/version")).body is an empty stream, while .text() and Bun.file(p).stream() return the content. textStream() and WebAssembly.compileStreaming are empty too.
• Body::Value::to_readable_stream (src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs:793, also :835 and wasm_streaming.rs:141) resolves the blob's size before it builds the stream. A procfs file is a regular file whose st_size is 0, so the FileReader gets max_size: Some(0) and ends at once.

Fix

• Add Blob::resolve_size_for_stream and use it at the three sites. It resolves the size as before, and restores the blob's window when the file's cached st_size is 0: unknown for an unsliced file, the user's bound for a .slice(). The reader then runs to EOF.
• A file with a nonzero st_size keeps its stat size as the limit, as on main. This is the variant requested in review: with every file unsized, each stream cost one more read().
• Verified: body.test.ts ("made from a procfs Bun.file()") and wasm-streaming.test.ts in test/js/web/fetch/. 5 cases fail with src/ at Bun.file: read a regular file whose st_size is 0 instead of returning empty #43871 and pass here.

Background

• A Bun.file() blob has size == MAX_SIZE ("unknown") until resolve_size copies the store's cached st_size onto it. from_blob_copy_ref gives the FileReader that size as its limit, unless it is MAX_SIZE.

Downsides

• The body stream of a truly empty regular file costs one read() now: 1.05 read syscalls, up from 0.04. stat cannot tell an empty file from a procfs file.
• Still broken: after f.size or await f.exists(), f.text() and .body over that same procfs Bun.file are empty. The blob then carries size 0, like a slice(0, 0) (Bun.file: do not use a cached stat size as the byte budget of a read or a copy #43910).

Notes

Rebased onto main 5c6d4e2 (through #43871) on 2026-10-23. The outputs and the first table below were measured again on that base.

Output for /proc/sys/kernel/ostype ("Linux\n", st_size 0), debug builds:

                                               main 5c6d4e24cd    #43871     this branch
new Response(Bun.file(p)).body, drained        ""                 ""         "Linux\n"
new Request(u, { body: Bun.file(p) }).body     ""                 ""         "Linux\n"
new Response(Bun.file(p)).textStream()         ""                 ""         "Linux\n"
new Response(new Response(Bun.file(p)).body)   ""                 ""         "Linux\n"
.body, then clone(): both copies               ""                 ""         "Linux\n"
f.text() after new Response(f).body            ""                 "Linux\n"  "Linux\n"

read syscalls to drain new Response(Bun.file(f)).body, from /proc/self/io (syscr) over 200 iterations, debug builds. The fractions are noise from unrelated reads. Wall-clock is not reported: only debug (ASAN) builds were available, and their timing says little about a release build.

file       main 5c6d4e24cd    this branch
64 KiB     1.05               1.05
256 KiB    1.05               1.05
1 MiB      3.21               3.20
empty      0.04               1.05

The comparison with the first revision (size unknown for every file) is from 2026-09-23, on main 2838e1b. That revision was not built again:

file       main    first revision    this revision
64 KiB     1.09    2.11              1.10
256 KiB    1.07    2.10              1.07
1 MiB      3.20    4.25              3.21
empty      0.08    1.09              1.07

A file that grows after .body is touched: write 10 bytes, take .body, append 5, drain. main yields 10 and this branch yields 10. (The first revision yielded 15.)

A .slice() of a procfs file keeps its bound, offset included: for "Linux\n", slice(1, 4) streams "inu", slice(2) streams "nux\n", and slice(0, 0) streams nothing. On main all three are empty.

Blob.prototype.stream() never resolves the size, which is why Bun.file(p).stream() always worked on procfs.

Why this PR needs #43871: consumers that turn the body stream back into a Blob (new Response(r.body).text(), clone() after .body) read through ReadFile, and #43871 removes the ReadFile shortcut that returns "" for a regular file with st_size 0 once the store is stat'd.

Related open PRs:

• Bun.file: do not use a cached stat size as the byte budget of a read or a copy #43910 is the .size / exists() half, and an alternative for the three stream sites of this PR: it changes resolve_size so that no stat size lands on the blob. Its notes say that the procfs tests of this PR pass there and that the merge order is free. If it merges first, only the tests of this PR remain to add.
• http: consolidate the open fetch, Bun.serve, node:http, node:http2 and HTTP/3 pull requests #46528 (HTTP consolidation) does not contain this change: at its head 41b5bfa, Body.rs:865 and :910 and wasm_streaming.rs:141 still call resolve_size(). The source diff of this PR and of Bun.file: read a regular file whose st_size is 0 instead of returning empty #43871 applies to that head with no conflict.

Suites run locally on this base: body.test.ts and wasm-streaming.test.ts (816 pass, 0 fail), and body-clone.test.ts, body-stream.test.ts, blob.test.ts, bun-serve-file.test.ts, bun-file.test.ts, bun-file-read.test.ts, fetch-file-upload.test.ts (9538 pass, 0 fail). serve.test.ts: 333 pass, 1 fail ("root range port", which also fails with main's build in this container).

History: the ReadFile change and its test moved to #43871 on 2026-09-23, at a maintainer's request. An S3 rule from earlier revisions is out of both PRs: it was partial at this layer, and it is tracked separately.

[robobun]

Status: reproduced on main (5c6d4e2) with new Response(Bun.file('/proc/version')).body (0 bytes drained, while .text() and Bun.file(p).stream() return the content). Same for textStream() and WebAssembly.compileStreaming. Blob::resolve_size_for_stream restores the blob's window when the file's cached st_size is 0, so the reader runs to EOF. A file with a nonzero st_size keeps its stat size as the limit, as on main.

This PR is stacked on #43871, which holds the ReadFile change.

Tests: test/js/web/fetch/body.test.ts ("made from a procfs Bun.file()") and test/js/web/fetch/wasm-streaming.test.ts ("reads a procfs Bun.file() response to EOF"). 5 cases fail with src/ at #43871 and pass on this branch.

Rebased onto main on 2026-10-23.

Walkthrough

Blob stream size resolution now skips file-backed and S3 blobs. Zero-sized POSIX regular files continue through normal reading. Tests cover procfs streams, S3 responses, and WASM streaming.

Changes

Blob streaming behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stream size resolution src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs, src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs, src/runtime/webcore/wasm_streaming.rs	Added resolve_size_for_stream(). Byte, text, and WASM streaming paths use it.
Zero-sized file reading src/runtime/webcore/blob/read_file.rs	Removed the zero-size shortcut. Regular files continue reading through the normal path.
Streaming regression coverage test/js/web/fetch/body.test.ts, test/js/web/fetch/wasm-streaming.test.ts	Added Linux procfs tests for body streams, clones, later file reads, and WASM compilation. Added an S3 request test for complete delivery without range requests.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7d2e2

On Linux, a procfs body or WASM stream can still appear empty if .size or exists() is called first. This narrow case leaves part of the stream fix incomplete and should be addressed.

LGTM — the S3 arm is now covered too (is_s3() early-return in resolve_size_for_stream plus the mock-endpoint test), which was the one gap I'd flagged.

Checked that all three body→stream sites (Body.rs:759, Body.rs:817, wasm_streaming.rs:139) now go through the new helper, that in-memory InternalBlob/WTFStringImpl bodies still resolve their size (needed for to_string on the text path), and that a .slice() of a file keeps its own bound since the helper only skips the stat, not the caller-set offset/size. The new tests are hermetic (local Bun.serve({port: 0}) for S3, procfs gated on isLinux) and assert exact content plus the absence of a Range header.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes new Response(Bun.file("/proc/…")).body (and Request, and WebAssembly.compileStreaming) yielding an empty stream because resolve_size() cached st_size == 0 from procfs/sysfs as a hard byte cap on the resulting FileReader. The fix adds resolve_size_for_stream() on BlobExt that skips the stat for file-backed and S3-backed blobs — leaving size at MAX_SIZE so ReadableStream::from_blob_copy_ref builds a reader that runs to EOF — and switches the three body→stream call sites in Body.rs and wasm_streaming.rs to use it. Tests land in the existing test/js/web/fetch/body.test.ts inside the bodyTypes loop.

Security risks

None. No parsing of untrusted input, no auth/crypto/permissions surface. The mock S3 server is local (port: 0) and only echoes a fixed payload; the Range parser in the test fixture is test-side only.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. It touches src/runtime/webcore/, which falls under the Web-compat guidance, but the change is narrow: a new no-op-for-file-and-S3 wrapper around an existing method, called from three well-understood sites. The in-memory blob path is unchanged (falls through to resolve_size()), and Blob.prototype.stream() already behaves this way, so the fix aligns .body with the existing streaming semantics rather than introducing new ones. The "fix the whole class" rule from REVIEW.md is satisfied — all three resolve_size()-before-stream sites are updated, and the S3 sibling I raised on the first push is now included with its own test.

Other factors

The follow-up commit 13b1916c directly addressed the prior inline finding by adding self.is_s3() to the guard and a Bun.readableStreamToText test against a local mock S3 endpoint that also asserts no Range header was sent (i.e., no bytes=0- from a zero size). Test conventions match test/CLAUDE.md: isLinux gate from harness, Buffer.alloc(n, fill) instead of .repeat, using for the server, combined-object .toEqual assertions, no external network. No CODEOWNERS cover the changed paths, and there are no outstanding third-party changes-requested reviews.

LGTM — the S3 sibling I flagged earlier is now handled (resolve_size_for_stream checks is_s3() too), and the st_size == 0 shortcut in ReadFile::run_async_with_fd is gone so the buffered path reads procfs to EOF as well.

Checked that removing the shortcut is safe for genuinely empty regular files: !could_block allocates a 16-byte buffer, do_read_loop does one read() returning 0, and the 64 KB stack buffer in remaining_buffer handles procfs content larger than the initial reservation. The three switched call sites (two in Body.rs, one in wasm_streaming.rs) are the only stream-producing resolve_size() callers I found; ByteBlobLoader::setup and the .size getter still want the stat. The new tests follow the harness conventions (port: 0, describe.skipIf(!isLinux), Buffer.alloc(n, fill), combined-object toEqual).

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR stops Request/Response .body from capping a file- or S3-backed Bun.file() stream at the stat().st_size value. It adds Blob::resolve_size_for_stream() (skips size resolution for file/S3 stores so size stays MAX_SIZE and the reader runs to EOF), switches the three stream-producing sites in Body.rs and wasm_streaming.rs to it, and removes the st_size == 0 && is_regular_file early-return in blob/read_file.rs so the buffered reader also handles procfs. Tests cover /proc/version through several stream consumers, the ".body poisons a later file.text()" regression, .clone() on both copies, and an S3 body against a local mock endpoint asserting no Range header.

Security risks

None identified. No auth, crypto, or permission surface. The change loosens an internal read cap so streams read to EOF instead of trusting a cached st_size; buffer growth in do_read_loop already goes through the existing 64 KB stack-buffer path with checked reserve/extend_from_slice, so no new unbounded allocation is introduced by removing the size-0 shortcut.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. My earlier review flagged that the S3 store fell through to resolve_size() (which sets size to 0) — the follow-up commits addressed that by adding || self.is_s3() to the guard and an S3 test, and separately removed the read_file.rs shortcut so the buffered path matches. I re-read do_read_loop / remaining_buffer to confirm removing the shortcut is safe for both truly-empty files (one extra read() returning 0) and procfs files larger than the 16-byte initial reservation (stack buffer + reserve). I grepped for other resolve_size() callers that feed from_blob_copy_ref and found none beyond the three switched here.

Other factors

No CODEOWNERS cover these paths. No outstanding human CHANGES_REQUESTED. Tests live in the existing test/js/web/fetch/body.test.ts, use port: 0, describe.skipIf gating, Buffer.alloc(n, fill), and combined-object toEqual per the repo conventions. The change mirrors what Blob.prototype.stream() already does (never calling resolve_size), so it converges two paths onto the same behavior rather than introducing a new one.

[robobun]

@alii Sorry for the delay. This mention did not reach me until now.

Status of this PR:

• The change is complete. test/js/web/fetch/body.test.ts fails on main at b5ba14b (the base of this branch) and passes on this branch, locally.
• It is not ready to merge yet. The branch is 303 commits behind main. Buildkite never ran on the last push (14d94f6, the ReadFile change for the clone() case). Two bot review threads are open: a comment to shorten in Blob.rs, and a request to cover textStream() in the S3 test.
• The Notes section is stale. It calls Bun.file: stop a file's stat size from capping reads of the whole file #33360 the broader open PR, and Bun.file: stop a file's stat size from capping reads of the whole file #33360 closed without a merge on 2026-09-13.

I am rebasing onto main now. Then I address the two threads, run the tests against current main again, and push so that CI runs.

[claude]

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

The S3 sibling raised on the previous push is now covered by resolve_size_for_stream's is_s3() early return and the local-endpoint Range test. Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the deleted size == 0 && is_regular_file shortcut in read_file.rs for a genuinely empty regular file: self.size stays 0 so the buffer reserves 16 bytes and the first read() into the stack buffer returns EOF, yielding "" rather than a MAX_SIZE reservation; and the remaining from_blob_copy_ref callers (Blob.stream(), Bun.write to S3/file, the fetch S3 upload path) never call resolve_size() first, so no stream site is left on the old budget.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches Blob.rs, Body.rs, wasm_streaming.rs and blob/read_file.rs to stop treating st_size 0 of a regular file (procfs) or an absent S3 size as a byte budget for body streams, plus tests in test/js/web/fetch/body.test.ts; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. One verified finding (no test for the wasm streaming site) is posted inline and an unresolved third-party inline comment exists on the test file, so the PR is not approved; the note above records what else was examined and ruled out on this push.

[alii]

@robobun thanks for the rebase. One more change please: split this into two PRs.

1. Only the read_file.rs change (drop the size == 0 regular-file shortcut), plus a Linux-only test that a clone of new Response(Bun.file("/proc/version")) reads the content on both copies and on the original Bun.file. This fixes the clone regression from webcore: clone() keeps the Blob behind an unread native body stream instead of teeing it #42053 and should not slow regular files. The S3 change can go here or in its own PR.
2. The stream sizing (resolve_size_for_stream) in its own PR. It removes the size limit for every file, so the reader has to find EOF by itself. Please measure a 64 KiB and a 256 KiB body read through new Response(Bun.file(f)).body before and after. If it costs anything, try this: leave the size unknown only when the cached st_size is 0, and keep the stat size otherwise.

[robobun]

@alii Update: this PR is ready for review now.

• Rebased onto main (4224438). Buildkite passed on c2554ee, 181 of 181 jobs. 7d2e256 after it only adds a test. Its build is running.
• All review threads are resolved. New coverage: textStream() for the procfs and S3 cases, and a compileStreaming case for the wasm site.
• The body has a Downsides section now, with measured read syscall counts and one behavior change (a file that grows after .body is touched). The stale Bun.file: stop a file's stat size from capping reads of the whole file #33360 reference is fixed.
• Not fixed here: f.size or await f.exists(), then f.text() on the same procfs Bun.file, still reads "". Bun.file: stop a file's stat size from capping reads of the whole file #33360 covered that and a stale-PR cleanup closed it, so I asked for it to be picked up again separately.

#41585 (the HEAD half) conflicted with main. I merged main there and fixed one more review finding: an error() Response with no body took Content-Type from the file that failed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not use a cached file-stat zero as the stream byte limit.

needs_to_read_file() matches every file-backed Blob, so resolve_size_for_stream() returns early and preserves a cached zero from .size or exists(). Body and WASM then pass zero to FileReader.max_size, and the stream ends without reading a procfs file that can still return bytes.

At this boundary, distinguish an unbounded file from an explicit slice. Treat a zero stat result as an unknown stream size for an unbounded file, but retain every explicit slice bound. An actual empty file remains empty when the reader reads to EOF. If the current Blob state cannot distinguish a cached stat zero from a zero-length slice, preserve that distinction before changing the stream limit.

@alii Sorry, this comment also reached me late. I am doing the split now.

1. A new PR with only the read_file.rs change and the Linux-only clone() test (both copies and the original Bun.file).
2. This PR becomes the stream sizing change, stacked on the first one. I will post read counts for a 64 KiB and a 256 KiB body on main, on the current revision, and on your variant (size unknown only when the cached st_size is 0). The current revision costs one more read() per stream, so I expect to switch to your variant.

[robobun]

@alii Done.

1. Bun.file: read a regular file whose st_size is 0 instead of returning empty #43871 has the read_file.rs change and the Linux-only clone() test (both copies and the original Bun.file). I put the S3 rule there too, as its own commit. Nonzero files are unchanged: Bun.file(64 KiB).text() takes 2.05 read syscalls on main and 2.04 there. Only an empty file whose store was stat'd earlier pays one read().
2. This PR is now the stream sizing only, stacked on Bun.file: read a regular file whose st_size is 0 instead of returning empty #43871 (3 files, +53 −4).

Measured as you asked: read syscalls to drain new Response(Bun.file(f)).body, from /proc/self/io over 200 iterations, debug builds.

file       main    first revision (unknown for every file)    your variant
64 KiB     1.09    2.11                                       1.10
256 KiB    1.07    2.10                                       1.07
1 MiB      3.20    4.25                                       3.21
empty      0.08    1.09                                       1.07

It did cost something: one more read() per stream, which doubles the count for a file that fits one chunk. So I switched to your variant. resolve_size_for_stream resolves the size as before and restores the blob's window only when the cached st_size is 0. Nonzero files match main, and the growing-file behavior change from the first revision is gone. An empty file's stream costs one read(), because stat cannot tell it from a procfs file.

I did not measure wall-clock time. Only debug (ASAN) builds were available here, and their timing says little about a release build.

[claude]

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

[robobun]

@alii One correction to my last comment: the S3 rule is out of #43871 again.

A review showed it was partial at that layer. After Bun.inspect(request), the S3 body stream still asks for Range: bytes=0-0 (verified with a local endpoint: 100 bytes without the inspect, 1 byte after it). The cause is the S3 arm of resolve_size, which sets the size to 0, and a fix there needs an audit of every caller an S3 blob can reach. That is its own change, so it is tracked separately.

So the two PRs are now exactly what you asked for:

1. Bun.file: read a regular file whose st_size is 0 instead of returning empty #43871: only the read_file.rs change, plus two Linux-only tests (clone(): both copies and the original Bun.file, and text() after the body getter stat'd the file).
2. This PR, stacked on it: Blob::resolve_size_for_stream with your variant, 5 files, +61 −6. The numbers in my last comment are unchanged. I measured them again on the final build: 64 KiB 1.10, 256 KiB 1.07, 1 MiB 3.20, empty 1.07.

A note for the reviewer on how this PR relates to #43910.

#43910 changes Blob::resolve_size so that it stores no stat size of a file on the blob. The three stream sites of this PR then need no second rule.

• The 7 procfs tests of this PR pass on Bun.file: do not use a cached stat size as the byte budget of a read or a copy #43910 as they are: 6 in body.test.ts and 1 in wasm-streaming.test.ts. They fail on main.
• The cost that the review asked about here: new Response(Bun.file(f)).body takes 1.09 read calls for a 64 KiB file on main and on Bun.file: do not use a cached stat size as the byte budget of a read or a copy #43910. The drain time for 64 KiB and 256 KiB is inside the noise floor. The Notes of Bun.file: do not use a cached stat size as the byte budget of a read or a copy #43910 have the numbers.
• Bun.file: do not use a cached stat size as the byte budget of a read or a copy #43910 does not keep the cached size as the limit, because that size goes stale (BunFile .text() does not return correct content after BunFile.write() #23902). Each reader stops at the size from its own fstat.

The order of the merges is free. If this PR merges first, #43910 removes resolve_size_for_stream in its rebase and keeps the tests. If #43910 merges first, only the tests of this PR are left to add.

@alii One question, because this PR and #43910 answer your request from 2026-09-23 in two ways, and only one of them can land.

You asked that regular files do not get slower when the size limit goes away, and proposed to keep the cached stat size as the limit when it is not 0.

• This PR does that. A file that grew after the stat is still cut at the old size, which is BunFile .text() does not return correct content after BunFile.write() #23902 and Calling BunFile.exists makes Bun.write write nothing #4930.
• Bun.file: do not use a cached stat size as the byte budget of a read or a copy #43910 takes the limit from the fstat that the reader runs at open, when a stat ran before. The cached size is never the limit. That fixes BunFile .text() does not return correct content after BunFile.write() #23902 and Calling BunFile.exists makes Bun.write write nothing #4930.

read calls per operation with #43910, 64 KiB file, release builds, /proc/self/io:

operation	main	#43910
fresh stream()	2.10	2.10
.size, then stream()	1.08	1.08
new Response(file).body	1.09	1.09
.lastModified, then stream()	2.10	1.08

The drain time of new Response(Bun.file(f)).body for 64 KiB and 256 KiB is inside the noise floor. The costs of #43910 are in its Downsides: .size takes 9.2 ns (was 4.8), and .size no longer bounds the read after it.

Which design do you want? If it is #43910, only the tests of this PR are left to add, and they pass there. If it is this PR, #43910 needs another design for #4930 and #23902.
