Both writable stream adapters accept decoded string chunks alongside binary chunks. If a UTF-8 character is incomplete when a nonempty string arrives, the decoder retains the bytes until a later binary chunk. For [0xe2,0x82], "text", [0xac], callbacks therefore emit text€, moving earlier bytes after the string.

Flush pending decoder bytes before nonempty string chunks in the Node and Web adapters. Empty strings retain the decoder state so they do not split a valid fragmented character. Tests pin ordering and the empty-string case for both APIs.

Validation: both ordering regressions fail before the change. npm test passes all 204 tests plus ESLint, TypeScript and Biome; npm run build and git diff --check pass.

Prepared and tested with OpenAI Codex assistance.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved UTF-8 handling when string chunks arrive between byte chunks. Incomplete characters are now resolved correctly before non-empty strings, while empty strings preserve buffered bytes so later chunks can complete the character.
    • Corrected byte order mark handling across mixed byte and string chunks: a leading mark remains omitted, while marks appearing later in the stream are preserved. These updates ensure text is decoded consistently regardless of how the stream divides its content into chunks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Both writable stream implementations flush buffered UTF-8 output before nonempty string chunks. Empty strings preserve incomplete byte sequences. The web stream implementation also changes decoder handling to preserve midstream BOMs.

Changes

UTF-8 Chunk Boundaries

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decoder handling at string boundaries
src/WebWritableStream.ts, src/WritableStream.ts, src/WebWritableStream.spec.ts, src/WritableStream.spec.ts
Both streams flush buffered decoder output before nonempty string chunks and retain incomplete sequences across empty strings. The web stream implementation switches to a decoder that ignores BOMs after string chunks. Tests cover replacement characters, euro-sign completion, and BOM handling.

A rabbit taps bytes into the stream,
Then waits where UTF-8 fragments gleam.
Empty strings let pieces stay,
New text flushes the old away.
BOMs pass through in midstream flight,
And euros form just right.

P2 Badge Preserve midstream BOMs when flushing before strings

When a binary chunk has already been decoded, a nonempty string is written, and the next binary chunk begins with EF BB BF, this zero-argument decode() resets the TextDecoder; the next decode therefore treats those bytes as a new leading BOM and suppresses them. Previously the decoder stayed in streaming mode and emitted the midstream U+FEFF, so this sequence now silently drops parser input; flush the incomplete bytes without losing the decoder's already-started/BOM state.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

[Medium impact] The PR appears safe to merge; no new actionable issues were found.

Summary

The PR keeps incomplete UTF-8 bytes ahead of nonempty string chunks in both writable adapters.

  • The Node stream keeps text in input order when strings interrupt UTF-8 bytes.
  • The Web stream keeps text in order and preserves later byte-order marks.

whether a nonempty string chunk has already been written; when binary input
first follows that text, use a `TextDecoder` configured with `ignoreBOM: true`
