Bun node:fs existsSync dangling symlink behavior lstatSync

💡 Result:

In Bun, the behavior of fs.existsSync and fs.lstatSync regarding symbolic links is consistent with Node.js [1][2]. fs.existsSync The fs.existsSync function checks for the existence of a file by following symbolic links [3]. If a path is a dangling (broken) symbolic link—meaning the symlink itself exists, but its target does not—fs.existsSync will return false [4]. Because it follows the link to the target, it effectively tests for the existence of the target, not the symlink itself [3]. fs.lstatSync The fs.lstatSync function does not follow symbolic links [5]. It retrieves the file status (metadata) of the symbolic link itself [6][7]. Therefore, if you use lstatSync on a dangling symbolic link, it will successfully return an fs.Stats object for the link itself, rather than throwing an error or attempting to access the missing target [5][6]. You can confirm a path is a symbolic link using the isSymbolicLink method on the returned stats object [5][8]. Summary for Differentiating To determine if a path is a dangling symlink, you can combine these two behaviors: if lstatSync succeeds (indicating the path exists) but existsSync returns false (indicating the target is missing), the path is a dangling symbolic link [4].

Detect backup entries without following symlinks.

At src/codex/shim.ts:840-843, existsSync() returns false for a dangling symlink in Bun. The rollback then skips the backup, leaving the original launcher at target.backupPath. Use lstatSync() to detect the entry and treat an unfingerprintable backup as a validation failure.

In `@src/codex/shim.ts` around lines 841 - 843, Update the rollback validation
around shimPathFingerprint and the target.backupPath entry to inspect the path
without following symlinks, using lstatSync or the existing equivalent. Ensure
dangling symlinks are detected and an unfingerprintable backup is treated as
validation failure rather than skipped, preserving the existing fingerprint
comparison for valid entries.
