WalkthroughThe Bun API now supports synchronous subprocess execution with captured stdout and stderr, an optional working directory, and a result that reports status and spawn errors. The Bun code generation and host-profile tests cover this behaviour. ChangesBun subprocess capture

- Around line 1348-1349: Update the result-normalization callback around __r so
a present host error takes precedence and produces a nonzero status; otherwise
preserve the existing child-status fallback and output handling.
Review comments at @tests/codegen-bun/host_profile.harness.mjs:
- Line 33: Update the working-directory assertion in the Bun harness to compare
resolved paths rather than raw strings, using `realpathSync` for both
`inDir.stdout.trim()` and `nested`. Import `realpathSync` from `node:fs`
alongside the existing filesystem imports.

Bun v1.3.14 child_process spawnSync ENOBUFS maxBuffer status error implementation
💡 Result:
For **Bun v1.3.14**, `node:child_process.spawnSync()` defaults `maxBuffer` to **1 MiB**. It passes that limit to Bun’s native `Bun.spawnSync()`, which reports whether the process exceeded it via `exitedDueToMaxBuffer`. ([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oven-sh/bun/bun-v1.3.14/src/js/node/child_process.ts))
When that flag is set and no earlier error exists, the Node-compatibility wrapper returns an `error` with code **`ENOBUFS`** and message `spawnSync <file> ENOBUFS (stdout or stderr buffer reached maxBuffer size limit)`. It also sets `error.syscall` to `spawnSync <file>` and `error.spawnargs` to the arguments excluding the executable. The result’s `status` is the native `exitCode`; the wrapper does **not** set it to `null` just because the max buffer was exceeded. ([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oven-sh/bun/bun-v1.3.14/src/js/node/child_process.ts))
The tagged v1.3.14 source establishes those wrapper details. The exact `status` value for a particular overflow depends on the native child termination/exit behavior; the wrapper itself does not assign a special overflow status. `maxBuffer` is validated before spawning, and stdout/stderr are returned as captured output (or `null` if the native call throws). ([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oven-sh/bun/bun-v1.3.14/src/js/node/child_process.ts))

Bun v1.3.14 source exitedDueToMaxBuffer spawnSync exitCode native implementation
💡 Result:
In **Bun v1.3.14**, `node:child_process`’s `spawnSync` is a JS compatibility wrapper around native `Bun.spawnSync`:
1. It passes `options.maxBuffer` to `Bun.spawnSync` and reads back `exitedDueToMaxBuffer` alongside `exitCode`. ([github.com](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/bun-v1.3.14/src/js/node/child_process.ts))
2. It returns `exitCode` as `status`. If the native flag is true—and no earlier error was caught—it adds an `ENOBUFS` error. **It does not change or null out `exitCode` in this wrapper.** ([github.com](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/bun-v1.3.14/src/js/node/child_process.ts))
So `exitedDueToMaxBuffer` is the native layer’s signal that the output limit was hit; `node:child_process.spawnSync` translates that into `error.code === "ENOBUFS"`. The cited v1.3.14 JS source establishes the handoff and translation, but not the native implementation’s internal buffering/termination mechanics; current docs describe `maxBuffer` behavior but are not pinned to v1.3.14. ([github.com](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/main/docs/runtime/child-process.mdx?utm_source=openai))
[Version-pinned v1.3.14 source](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/bun-v1.3.14/src/js/node/child_process.ts) — see `spawnSync` around lines 2995–3191.

Give host errors precedence over the child status.
When Bun detects a max-buffer overflow after the child has already exited with status 0, __r.error can be present while __r.status remains 0. This returns incomplete output as a successful bun_run_capture result.

Compare resolved working-directory paths.
On macOS, os.tmpdir() can return a path under /var, whose physical path is under /private/var. If pwd reports the physical path, this assertion rejects a correct cwd. Resolve both paths before comparing them so the Bun harness can pass on that platform. (github.com)

Summary
Adds a captured child-process run to the native Bun-ESM host profile.
bun_runinherits stdio, so it can return only an exit code. Tools that need a program's output (git, scanners) have had no way to read it.stdlib/Bun.affine: new recordRunResult { status: Int, stdout: String, stderr: String }and new externbun_run_capture(command, arguments, cwd: Option<String>) -> RunResult.bun_runis unchanged.lib/codegen_deno.ml(bun_builtins): lowers the call tospawnSync(cmd, args, { encoding: "utf8", stdio: ["ignore","pipe","pipe"], cwd }).stderr. This matchesbun_run's?? 1.tests/codegen-bun/host_profile.{affine,harness.mjs}: three planted known-answer controls.This is the first stdlib gap blocking SemGrip, an AffineScript CLI around Semgrep and Opengrep (design:
