…e fd (PerryTS#10903) `process.stdout.write(chunk[, encoding])` / `process.stderr.write(...)` started from `js_jsvalue_to_string(chunk)` — the chunk's display text — and ignored `encoding`. So: * a Buffer / Uint8Array was UTF-8 *decoded* and the text written: every byte that is not valid UTF-8 reached the fd as EF BF BD. A 4-byte frame length of 200 (C8 00 00 00) was enough to corrupt a binary protocol; * any other TypedArray was written as its join(",") text (`new Uint16Array([0x6968, 0x0a21])` printed `26984,2593`), a DataView as `[object DataView]`; * `write("6865780a", "hex")` wrote eight characters instead of four bytes; * the write went through `Stdout::write_all`, which gives up at the first EAGAIN after an unknown prefix, and the error was discarded — on a non-blocking fd 1 an 8 MiB chunk delivered 131,072 bytes. Node writes a binary chunk byte for byte (exactly the view's window) and encodes a string chunk with `encoding`. New module `os_process_stream_write.rs`: * `with_write_bytes` borrows the bytes to write: the string payload as is (utf8, the default — no allocation and no copy; the old conversion `to_vec()`'d every chunk), the view's window for Buffer / TypedArray / DataView via the shared native-span accessor, and a transcoded buffer only for a non-utf8 string encoding (latin1/binary/ascii/hex/base64/base64url/ ucs2/utf16le, through `Buffer.from`'s own encoder). * a view whose ArrayBuffer was transferred away throws a TypeError, as Node does when it re-wraps the view; a detached Buffer is written as it is, empty. * `write_all_fd` owns the partial-write loop: EINTR retries, EAGAIN waits for POLLOUT, requests are capped at 1 GiB. Rust's stdout handle is flushed first and its lock held across the write, so `console.log` and `write` stay in program order. Non-chunk values (number, null, ArrayBuffer, …) and unknown encoding names keep perry's existing leniency; Node throws there. Deliberately not changed here. instructions:u per call, 100k calls to /dev/null: string write -300 (-8.3%), 49-byte Uint8Array write -23,961 (-86.7%).

Propagate terminal output errors to the process stream callbacks.
write_all_fd preserves non-retryable descriptor errors, but write_stdout and write_stderr discard them. flush_completely also reduces non-retryable flush failures to false. Therefore, EPIPE, EBADF, or a flush failure can leave a write incomplete while the stream stub returns true and queues a callback with no error.
Return std::io::Result<()> from the flush and write helpers. Propagate the result to the stubs. On failure, convert the std::io::Error to the callback's JavaScript error value and queue it with js_queue_next_tick_args, or emit it through an implemented stream error path. Do not use the current zero-argument success callback for failed writes.

…e-chunk classifier The address-classification audit (handle-floor rule) rejects a bare `addr < 0x1000`. It was redundant here: every probe that follows is an address-keyed registry lookup, and nothing dereferences `addr` unless a registry has vouched for it.

Root cause
crates/perry-runtime/src/os_process_streams.rs—jsvalue_to_write_bytes(the one conversion bothprocess_stdout_write_stubandprocess_stderr_write_stubused) began withjs_jsvalue_to_string(chunk): the chunk's display text.encoding(arg2) was never read. Four consequences, all silent:mainput on the fdnew Uint8Array([0xf7,0xff,0x0f,0x00])/Bufferf7 ff 0f 00ef bf bd ef bf bd 0f 00(UTF-8 decode, U+FFFD per invalid byte)new Uint16Array([0x6968,0x0a21])68 69 21 0a(hi!\n)26984,2593(itsjoin(",")text);Uint32Array,Float64Array, … likewisenew DataView(ab, 1, 3)[object DataView]write("6865780a", "hex")68 65 78 0alatin1/binary/ascii/base64/base64url/ucs2/utf16leAnd the write itself:
Stdout::write_allgives up at the firstEAGAINafter an unknown prefix, and the stub discarded the error.O_NONBLOCKlives on the open file description, so any process sharing the pipe/tty can switch it on. With a non-blocking fd 1 and a slow reader,maindelivered as little as 131,072 of 8,388,617 bytes of an 8 MiB write and 65,934 of 1,048,775 bytes of a Native Messaging frame pair — exit code 0.Fix

Non-unix keepswrite_all+flush.Deliberately unchanged: a value that is neither a string nor a binary chunk (

That is a strictness change, not a byte-safety one, and perry's genericWritableis equally lenient today.Verification — Linux x86_64, Node 26.5.1 oracle, base = unpatched
