test: make the Bun test run pass by probing capabilities

[bompus]

What

Makes npm run test:bun pass. Before this change 19 tests failed under Bun; the Node run was already green.

Run	Files	Passed	Skipped	Failed
Node 24 (npm test)	686	8743	39	0
Bun 1.4.3 (npm run test:bun)	686	8728	54	0

Bun skips 15 more tests than Node: 14 are new capability skips, one was skipped before (oven-sh/bun#42891).

How

• __tests__/helpers/runtime-capabilities.ts measures two behaviours at collection time instead of checking the runtime name: whether patching a builtin reaches importers (syncBuiltinESMExports, a no-op in Bun, fix open as fix(node:module): synchronize builtin ESM exports oven-sh/bun#42616) and whether an emptied PATH blocks a spawn. 14 tests skip on those. runtime-capabilities.test.ts fails if either is missing anywhere but Bun, so a skip cannot spread to Node.
• grammar-load-failure mocks by absolute path. Bun prints at mock where V8 prints at Object.mock, which breaks vitest's importer lookup for relative vi.mock paths in nested tests (Bun fails to mock with Vitest for tests in sub directory (works with Node) oven-sh/bun#43685). All six tests pass on both runtimes.
• worker-teardown asserts Bun's behaviour when gc is unavailable; the V8 branch is unchanged.
• mcp-daemon (PID-reuse test) compared raw database bytes after a killed writer. Under Bun a checkpoint sometimes folds WAL frames into the main file (two pages, no row changes), which failed the test about one run in eight. Bun now compares the indexed content through a read-only connection; Node and Windows keep the byte comparison (a read-only connection cannot recover the WAL on Windows).
• readDirEntries and the helper comments link the two Bun issues filed from this work: fs.readdirSync returns names in filesystem order; Node returns them sorted oven-sh/bun#44947 (readdirSync order) and child_process treats process.env.PATH = "" as unset and still finds the binary; Node fails with ENOENT oven-sh/bun#44948 (empty PATH).

README rows checked

"About this fork" Node-or-Bun paragraph: updated the skip count and links. No other row or number moves; no runtime code changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Directory walks now use a consistent entry order across supported runtimes.
  • A database-related integration test now compares indexed content rather than raw database file bytes when runtime database output differs.

• Tests

  • Tests requiring runtime capabilities unavailable in Bun are skipped when needed and run when those capabilities are supported.
  • A runtime-specific garbage-collection test now accounts for Bun’s lack of the V8 collection capability.
  • Bun test guidance now documents capability limits and recommends absolute paths for mocks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add runtime capability probes and use them to gate selected tests. They update Bun-specific test expectations and guidance. The daemon PID-reuse test compares indexed database content, and the directory helper documentation describes cross-runtime ordering.

Changes

Runtime Compatibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capability probes and test gates __tests__/helpers/runtime-capabilities.ts, __tests__/runtime-capabilities.test.ts, __tests__/runtime-control.test.ts, __tests__/sync-resynthesis.test.ts, __tests__/writer-lock.test.ts, __tests__/mcp-nested-repo-projectpath.test.ts, .claude/skills/codegraph-build-validation/SKILL.md, README.md	The helper measures builtin patch propagation and whether an empty PATH blocks spawning git, then restores the changed state. Capability tests check the results. Selected tests skip when a required capability is unavailable. Bun test guidance describes the capability-based skips.
Bun-specific test adaptations __tests__/grammar-load-failure.test.ts, __tests__/worker-teardown.test.ts, __tests__/mcp-daemon.test.ts	The grammar-load test uses an absolute mock path. The worker test distinguishes Bun from V8 collection behavior. The PID-reuse test compares runtime-specific database snapshots.
Runtime ordering documentation src/directory.ts	The directory helper documentation notes Bun’s filesystem ordering and the helper’s cross-runtime name sorting.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1ee7c

The Bun PID-reuse test now detects changes to existing node rows. The supplied changes reveal no remaining actionable merge risk, so the PR is ready for normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 05637

Production access, writer ownership, and deployment behavior are unchanged. The principal concern is narrower Bun-only verification that a fallback leaves indexed state untouched, not an observed production security bypass.

Retained concerns

• Low · reliability · observed: The Bun PID-reuse test now compares selected file fields and total node count rather than database bytes. Updating an existing node’s name, signature, or other contents can leave that projection unchanged. This weakens regression detection for the fallback’s no-write ownership guarantee, although the current production read-only controls remain intact and no unauthorized mutation was observed.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The identified change affects Bun regression assurance for one fixture database. It does not itself grant database-write authority or expand attacker-controlled production reachability.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The existing fallback preserves live writer ownership by selecting a read-only engine. That engine suppresses watcher startup and catch-up synchronization; the database adapter opens SQLite read-only, and database opening returns before migrations or repair.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The narrower snapshot can miss a future regression that mutates existing indexed records without changing selected file fields or node count. This is control-verification drift, not evidence that the present read-only fallback performs such a mutation.

Include ordered node rows in the Bun database snapshot.

The snapshot records only the node count. A fallback-read regression that updates an existing node can leave the row count and captured file fields unchanged. Include ordered node rows so the PID-reuse test detects that mutation.

Suggested fix

-    const nodes = db.prepare('SELECT count(*) AS n FROM nodes').get();
+    const nodes = db.prepare('SELECT * FROM nodes ORDER BY id').all();

Update the database snapshot helper around the `nodes` query to capture all node
rows ordered by `id` instead of only the row count, so mutations to existing

Review: #437 (review)
Head: 1ee7ce8
Reason: Fixed. The Bun snapshot now captures every node row ordered by id, so an update to an existing node is detected; 5 Bun runs of the test pass.
