fix(stdin): deliver piped stdin to -p — lower once, keep every end listener, buffer pull-mode bytes - #8861
Conversation
…nd` listener, buffer pull-mode bytes
`echo hi | claude -p "…"` produced NOTHING (exit 0, zero bytes on both
streams) where node prints the result. Three independent defects in the
`process.stdin` path stacked up; each is fixed here.
1. `process.stdin.once(…)` was never lowered.
perry-hir matched only `("stdin","on") | ("stdin","addListener")`, so
`once` fell through to the generic member-call path and never reached
`js_readline_stdin_on` — the listener was never registered with the
fd-0 reader and simply never fired. Claude Code's print-mode reader is
`stdin.on("data", acc)` + `await race(stdin.once("end"), timeout(3000))`,
so with `once` dropped the `end` half could never win; the race fell to
the timer, and because that timer is unref'd nothing kept the event loop
alive and the process exited silently.
2. Only ONE `stdin.on("end")` listener survived.
They shared readline's single-slot `CLOSE_CALLBACK` ("only one terminal
close listener is supported"), so each registration clobbered the
previous. The bundle registers three; the one that resolves its
read-stdin promise was dropped. Replaced with `STDIN_END_CALLBACKS`, a
list fired in registration order, honoured by the keep-alive predicate
and by `removeListener`.
3. Pull-mode (`on("readable")` + `read()`) bytes were discarded.
The fd-0 reader routed bytes by mode: raw and `data`-flowing went to
`PENDING_DATA`, everything else to `PENDING_LINES` — readline's *line*
queue, which `process.stdin.read()` never drains. Paused/pull mode set
neither flag, so its bytes were consumed off fd 0 and thrown away and
`read()` returned null forever. New `STDIN_PULL_MODE` flag, set while a
`readable` listener exists, routes those bytes (and the EOF trailing
chunk) to the buffer `read()` actually drains. This is the same hazard
the `PENDING_LINES` comment already records for the `data` case (PerryTS#5227),
left unfixed for `readable`.
Verified against node with the real bundle and with focused replicas:
* `on("readable")+read()` — was "", now "hello pipe" (node: "hello pipe")
* three `on("end")` listeners — now all fire, in order, with the data
* a faithful replica of the `-p` reader stops taking the 3s timeout path
Tests: `process_stdin_once_lowering.rs` (sabotage-checked — both cases fail
without the lowering arm), plus `every_stdin_end_listener_fires` and
`readable_listener_enables_pull_mode` in the readline suite. Full
perry-stdlib readline suite green (19/19).

Root stdin end callbacks across moving GC.
STDIN_END_CALLBACKS is not included in scan_readline_roots_mut. A collection after listener registration can leave its stored closure pointers stale. The pump also takes raw pointers from the registry without rooting them, so a collection in the first callback can invalidate later callbacks.

Keep readable pull mode active.
js_readline_has_active() does not include STDIN_PULL_MODE in reader_keeps_alive. A readable-only stream has no queued data, no raw mode, no data-flowing listener, and no close listener. It then returns 0 immediately after this registration. The event loop can exit before stdin receives input.
Include STDIN_PULL_MODE in the reader activity condition. Add a readable-only activity regression test.

Update: piped stdin now works end-to-end — byte-identical to nodePushed What the last commit fixesThe first commit added Claude Code takes exactly that path — Two probes pinned it, and they only make sense together:
Opposite halves winning is the signature of two listener registries, each starting its own fd-0 reader, with registration order deciding the winner. Also: Things I tried and backed outBoth were plausible and neither showed measured benefit, so they are not in this PR:
