Summary

Make readline.Interface.close() pause a stdin-backed process.stdin instead of treating the stream as if it had reached EOF. This matches Node v26.5.1: bytes written after close remain suppressed unless stdin is explicitly resumed.

Changes

  • Separate readline-interface closure from physical stdin EOF bookkeeping.
  • Pause stdin when a stdin-backed readline interface closes, and resume it when a new stdin-backed interface is created.
  • Keep queued readline input from pinning the event loop while stdin is paused.
  • Add unit coverage and a compiled-binary regression covering listeners installed before and after close, the direct pause() control, and explicit resume().
  • Add the required changelog fragment without changing release-version metadata.

Test plan

  • cargo build --release clean (not run separately)
  • cargo test --workspace --exclude perry-ui-ios --exclude perry-ui-tvos --exclude perry-ui-watchos --exclude perry-ui-gtk4 --exclude perry-ui-android --exclude perry-ui-windows passes (targeted suites run instead)
  • (if user-facing) Added or updated a test under test-files/ or a #[test] in the affected crate
  • (if CLI / stdlib / runtime API changed) Updated docs/src/ (not applicable: no public API surface changed)
  • (if touching a platform UI backend) Built -p perry-ui-<backend> locally on that platform (not applicable)

Run on root@perrymaster.skelpo.net:

  • cargo test -p perry-stdlib readline:: -- --nocapture — 23 passed
  • cargo test -p perry --test issue_9594_readline_close_pauses_stdin -- --nocapture — passed
  • cargo test -p perry --test issue_9588_readline_reader_notifies_the_pump --test issue_stdin_end_listener -- --nocapture — 3 passed
  • BASE_SHA=origin/main SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 ./scripts/run_lint_gates.sh — all 60 applicable gates passed
  • cargo clippy -p perry-stdlib --lib --tests — passed
  • cargo clippy -p perry --test issue_9594_readline_close_pauses_stdin --message-format=short — passed
  • Pinned Node v26.5.1 oracle: all close/pause arms suppressed late data; explicit resume delivered it and emitted end.

The compile lint tier was also attempted with RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings"; it reaches three existing FFI declaration warnings in untouched crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/roots.rs / error_stack_frames.rs. The targeted clippy commands above complete successfully.

Screenshots / output

Before this fix, the regression's listener-before-close arm received LATE_DATA:"late\n". After the fix, no close/pause arm receives late data; the explicit-resume arm does.

Checklist

  • I have NOT bumped the workspace version or edited CLAUDE.md / CHANGELOG.md (maintainer handles these at merge)
  • My commits follow the loose feat: / fix: / docs: / chore: prefix convention used in the log
  • I've read CONTRIBUTING.md and agree to the Code of Conduct

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved readline and standard input behavior when a readline interface is closed.
    • Closing an interface now pauses further standard input delivery until explicitly resumed.
    • Preserved expected behavior for explicit resume, physical end-of-file, and creating a new readline interface.
    • Ensured readline close and standard input end events are each delivered correctly and only once.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for paused input, buffered data delivery, explicit resumption, and subsequent interface creation.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Readline closure now pauses shared stdin without marking physical EOF. Pending input remains buffered until explicit resume, new stdin interfaces clear the pause, and close/end callbacks use independent one-shot state. Unit and integration tests cover these behaviors.

Changes

Readline stdin closure

Layer / File(s) Summary
Separate stdin closure and EOF state
crates/perry-stdlib/src/readline/mod.rs, changelog.d/9641-readline-close-pauses-stdin.md
rl.close() now pauses shared stdin and leaves EOF_REACHED unset. New interfaces resume stdin when appropriate. Physical stdin end dispatch uses separate state.
Independent event dispatch and liveness
crates/perry-stdlib/src/readline/pump.rs
The pump dispatches readline close and stdin end/close callbacks independently. Paused queued lines no longer keep the event loop active as dispatchable input.
Regression coverage and state reset
crates/perry-stdlib/src/readline/mod_tests.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/readline/test_support.rs, crates/perry/tests/issue_9594_readline_close_pauses_stdin.rs
Tests cover paused delivery, explicit resume, new-interface resumption, callback state reset, and subprocess stdin behavior across close and pause modes.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 65f11

Closing stdin-backed readline interfaces now pauses stdin and preserves independent EOF behavior, but destroying stdin can retain end-event callbacks in memory. This is a bounded cleanup issue that should be addressed before or shortly after merge.

Clear stdin end callbacks during destruction.

STDIN_END_CALLBACKS remains populated after process.stdin.destroy(). The GC scanner retains these closures, and STDIN_END_FIRED prevents the pump from draining them. Clear this list with the other callback registries.

Proposed fix
     if let Ok(mut v) = READABLE_CALLBACKS.lock() {
         v.clear();
     }
+    if let Ok(mut v) = STDIN_END_CALLBACKS.lock() {
+        v.clear();
+    }

After rl.close() on a stdin-backed interface, perry keeps delivering process.stdin 'data'; node stops (pause() matches in both)
