Restored the end/close arm on the stdin listener provider path, which
was lost when #8861 was batch-landed. Without it echo hi | claude -p "…"
never completes.

#8861 fixed piped stdin for -p by teaching three layers about end
listeners. Two of them landed: the GC rooting of STDIN_END_CALLBACKS, and
STDIN_PULL_MODE. The third — the "end" | "close" arm in stdin_on_op
did not, and it is the one that made the fix work.

stdin_on_op is the provider that the stdin object's native
on / once / addListener methods delegate to: every registration that is
not codegen's literal process.stdin.x(…) shape. That means an alias
(const s = process.stdin; s.once("end", …)) or stdin passed as a parameter
(helper(process.stdin)). Claude Code's print-mode reader is exactly the
parameter form — X71(process.stdin, 3000), then stream.once("end", …) on
the parameter — so those registrations fell into _ => return and were
silently discarded. The end half of the reader's
race(once("end"), timeout(3000)) could never win.

stdin_off_op gets the mirror arm. #8864 removed the end/close clause from
the removal path, so a provider-registered listener could be added but never
removed — removeListener / off leaked it and the pump kept a stale callback
pointer.

The two tests that guarded this — provider_path_registers_end_listeners and
provider_path_removes_end_listeners — were dropped alongside the arm, which is
why CI stayed green through the regression. Both are restored here. They assert
the provider entry points (stdin_on_op / stdin_off_op) directly rather
than going through the js_readline_stdin_on extern, because the extern path
kept working the whole time and therefore cannot catch this. Sabotage-checked:
deleting the arm again fails provider_path_registers_end_listeners.

Measured on the claude-code 2.1.112 bundle, echo hello | cc -p "…":

build result
before this fix 4/4 hang (120 s timeout, no output)
with the arm restored completes in ~7 s

How this was found

Rebuilding the claude-code bundle to re-profile #8875, the sanity check hung 6/6 on echo hello | cc -p. Attribution matters here, so rather than assume, I built the branch base (adf28bef5, upstream only, none of my commits) in an isolated worktree: it hangs 4/4 too. #8875 is not implicated — the regression is upstream.

binary base piped -p
cc-ctl my #8861 branch (has the arm) 7 s, completes
cc-base adf28bef5 upstream only 4/4 hang
cc-new adf28bef5 + #8875 6/6 hang

Diffing my #8861 branch against what landed showed the missing arm directly:

origin/main stdin_on_op:  "data" | "readable" | "keypress" | _ => return
my #8861 branch:          ...plus "end" | "close"

The API key in use is out of credits, so the success criterion is "completes and prints node's own Credit balance is too low" rather than a model response — a hang vs. a clean exit is still unambiguous.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed an issue where piped standard input could fail to complete when listening for end-of-stream events.
    • Restored handling for standard input end and close listeners, including aliased or passed references.
    • Prevented lingering listeners after they are removed.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for registering, triggering, and removing standard input end-of-stream listeners.

`echo hi | claude -p "…"` never completes on main. PerryTS#8861 fixed this by
teaching three layers about `end` listeners; the batch landing kept the
GC rooting of STDIN_END_CALLBACKS and STDIN_PULL_MODE, but dropped the
`"end" | "close"` arm in stdin_on_op — the one that made it work.

stdin_on_op is the provider the stdin object's native on/once/addListener
delegate to: every registration that is NOT codegen's literal
process.stdin.x(…) shape, i.e. an alias or stdin passed as a parameter.
Claude Code's print-mode reader is the parameter form — X71(process.stdin,
3000) then stream.once("end", …) inside — so those registrations hit
`_ => return` and were discarded, and the end half of its
race(once("end"), timeout(3000)) could never win.

stdin_off_op gets the mirror arm: PerryTS#8864 removed the end/close clause from
the removal path, so a provider-registered listener could be added but
never removed.

The two tests that guarded this were dropped with the arm, which is why CI
stayed green. Restored, asserting the provider entry points directly rather
than through js_readline_stdin_on — the extern path kept working, so it
cannot catch this. Sabotage-checked.

Bundle: 4/4 hang before, ~7s after. readline suite 21/21.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 92974

The PR restores completion for piped stdin, but the current implementation still risks stale callback pointers during EOF dispatch and can suppress a readline close callback when registrations share a callback; these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge, along with the changelog lint error.

Root drained STDIN_END_CALLBACKS callbacks before EOF dispatch.

When EOF_REACHED is true, js_readline_process_pending moves the callbacks into end_cbs with mem::take and passes raw pointers to js_closure_call0. The GC scanner rewrites only STDIN_END_CALLBACKS, not end_cbs. If an earlier callback allocates, a later closure can move and leave a stale pointer. Root end_cbs with RuntimeHandleScope handles and reload each pointer before dispatch. Add a regression test for this case.

Keep CLOSE_CALLBACK independent from provider listener removal. When the same callback is registered for a provider stdin event and rl.on("close", ...), stdin_off_op also clears CLOSE_CALLBACK. This can prevent the readline close callback from firing. Track ownership separately and add a regression test.

Landed on main via #8881. Verified the gap on main first — stdin_off_op had only data/readable arms — and both new provider tests pass.

One correction for the record: this completes #8861's third layer rather than restoring something dropped in its landing. The ref I merged (0bf52fbbf) is byte-identical to #8861's head today, stdin_on_op in it has only data/readable/keypress/_ => return with no end/close arm, neither provider_path_* test appears in it, and the mod_tests.rs split preserved all 15 tests.

Where I was genuinely incomplete: landing #8864 I verified the "end" | "close" arm survived at readline/mod.rs:1651 and called the interaction safe — but that is the syntactic extern's arm, not the provider's. Checking one of two paths and reporting on both is the real gap, and your tests asserting stdin_on_op/stdin_off_op directly close it properly.
