Snapshot startup filesystem encoding on Linux - #9689
Initialize the Linux command-line locale with CPython 3.15's environment precedence and PEP 538 coercion. Keep embedded startup non-mutating; the executable explicitly opts into the unsafe, single-threaded process-startup contract.
Snapshot filesystem encoding in interpreter configuration. Share the fixed configuration with subinterpreters, keep Python codec objects local to each interpreter, and preserve filesystem behavior after later LC_CTYPE changes.
Reuse native UTF-8, ASCII and Latin-1 codecs. GNU Linux uses an owned locale snapshot for wider-codec bootstrap, then switches to the initialized codec registry.
Make filesystem decoding fallible throughout startup and OS-facing callers. Preserve Python exceptions, retain accepted sockets until address conversion succeeds, and close received ancillary descriptors if conversion fails.
Stop using frozen filesystem encoding for the internal current-locale conversion helper.
This addresses the runtime cause behind the Linux test_utf8_mode.UTF8ModeTests.test_cmd_line expected failure. No test code or decorators are changed because a RustPython runtime pass is not yet available.
An out-of-tree, bounded host-helper probe passed 40 decode/encode roundtrips across C, C.UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-5 and GB2312, including embedded NUL and malformed/incomplete input. Snapshot stability after changing LC_CTYPE and typed encoding errors passed.
Fifteen host-helper startup cases matched CPython 3.15.0 output and warning stderr exactly, including environment precedence, ignored Python controls, coercion warnings, invalid locale settings and LC_NUMERIC behavior.
Unmodified CPython 3.15.0 test_cmd_line and test_filesystemencoding reference cases passed.
Separate source review completed. No repository test additions, skips or expected-failure removals.
The host-helper probe does not execute RustPython's VM or interpreter. Local RustPython runtime and aggregate workspace/C-API suites were not run because no verified runtime guard is available. This draft needs hosted CI and runtime review. Only the GNU Linux Rust target is installed; Windows/WASI call sites were source-reviewed but not cross-compiled.
Scope and integration
Non-Linux filesystem behavior is preserved. Non-GNU Linux supports existing native fast codecs and retains its previous UTF-8 behavior for wider CODESETs. This does not add arbitrary embedded filesystem-codec overrides, Windows legacy mbcs support, complete raw -m parsing, or non-UTF-8 getpath configuration strings.
VirtualMachine::fsdecode and dependent Rust path-result helpers now return PyResult; embedding callers must propagate errors. check_initialization lets embedded callers inspect startup failures without diagnostics or process exit.
This overlaps #9688 (native script filenames). A disposable composition of current main 9d657b02e4, #9688 and this patch passed cargo check -p rustpython --lib --bin rustpython after resolving the cant_open_file overlap and propagating four additional fsdecode results in src/lib.rs and crates/vm/src/vm/python_run.rs. Those merge-time adjustments are prepared separately; neither standalone branch includes the other PR.
AI assistance
This is maintainer-directed Python 3.15 upgrade work. OpenAI Codex assisted with investigation, implementation, source review and validation. Model version was not exposed. No human runtime validation is claimed.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Filesystem path and locale-based text conversion errors are now reported across file, socket, and system operations instead of being silently ignored.
Interpreter and subinterpreter startup now report initialization failures rather than continuing with incomplete setup.
Socket message handling closes received file descriptors if address conversion fails.
New Features
Added locale-aware filesystem encoding support on Linux, including optional locale initialization during startup and improved handling of legacy locales.
The change adds Linux locale initialization and per-interpreter filesystem encoding. Filesystem path and address conversions now return errors that propagate through VM startup and standard-library APIs.
Changes: Filesystem locale and encoding
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Linux locale initialization and snapshot crates/host_env/src/locale.rs
Linux startup can initialize LC_CTYPE from the environment and coerce legacy locales to an available UTF-8 locale. GNU/Linux adds locale snapshots with byte decoding and encoding operations.
FilesystemCodec selects an encoding from settings and locale data. The VM exposes filesystem encoding and error-handler names, and its fsdecode and fsencode methods return conversion errors. Locale codec helpers use the optional current-locale argument.
Interpreter startup and locale entry point crates/vm/src/vm/interpreter.rs, crates/vm/src/vm/mod.rs, crates/vm/src/stdlib/sys.rs, src/lib.rs, src/main.rs
Interpreter startup records initialization errors and initializes filesystem codec support. run_with_locale enables locale setup; the executable uses this entry point.
Fallible filesystem conversions in callers crates/vm/src/ospath.rs, crates/vm/src/ospath_fd.rs, crates/vm/src/stdlib/*, crates/stdlib/src/openssl.rs, src/lib.rs
Path-output conversion, filename construction, and filesystem decoding errors propagate through OS, POSIX, Windows, ctypes, symtable, thread, OpenSSL, and command-startup paths.
Socket address errors and descriptor cleanup crates/stdlib/src/socket.rs
Socket address conversion returns errors through address APIs. recvmsg and recvmsg_into close received SCM_RIGHTS descriptors if address conversion fails.
RustPython/RustPython#9492: Both changes update pycache_prefix decoding and its relationship to filesystem decoding errors.

Explanation
The title "Snapshot startup filesystem encoding on Linux" names a real part of the changeset. The diff adds a Linux locale snapshot (LocaleSnapshot) and a Linux initialize_ctype path, and the filesystem codec captures the locale encoding at startup on GNU/Linux. The title does not mention the wider changes, including fallible fsdecode propagation across OS-facing callers, the socket address conversion changes, and the CLI locale handling. Those are secondary to the main change, so the title is partially related and the check passes.

Recompute the filesystem codec after init hooks, or stop hooks from changing utf8_mode silently.
PyConfig::new builds the filesystem codec from settings.utf8_mode before init hooks run. A hook that sets state.config.settings.utf8_mode = 0 leaves sys.flags.utf8_mode at 0, while sys.getfilesystemencoding() and path conversions keep using the UTF-8 snapshot. Rebuild the codec after hooks, or document that utf8_mode must be set before PyConfig::new.

Encode str arguments to putenv and unsetenv with the filesystem encoding.
On Unix, env_bytes_as_bytes_checked passes str arguments as UTF-8 through s.as_bytes(). It does not call vm.fsencode. When the filesystem encoding is not UTF-8, os.putenv("é") stores different bytes than os.fsencode("é"). A child process in that locale decodes the variable differently.
Suggested direction
Pass vm into env_bytes_as_bytes_checked. For Either::A(s), convert s with vm.fsencode(s) before the NUL check. Use the resulting bytes for the name and value. Apply the same change to unsetenv.

Check startup status in Py_InitializeEx before publishing the interpreter.
When essential initialization fails, initialize now returns early with startup_error set (crates/vm/src/vm/mod.rs:1718-1723).

Open PYTHONSTARTUP with its original bytes, not the decoded text.
With UTF-8 mode disabled and a Latin-1 LC_CTYPE on GNU Linux, fsdecode maps the raw bytes to Latin-1 text. run_startup then passes that text to host_env::fs::open and run_any_file, which encode it as UTF-8. The open call can fail with "Could not open PYTHONSTARTUP" for a file that exists. It can also open a different file whose name matches the Latin-1 text. Keep the original bytes for the open and run calls. This requires changing run_any_file to accept a path type instead of &str.

Do not replace an earlier startup error with the codec lookup error.
If PYTHONHOME is set and import_encodings fails, line 1754 stores that import error in startup_error. Execution then continues to init_filesystem_codec. If the filesystem encoding is not a native fast codec, the lookup also fails because encodings is missing. Line 1773 then overwrites the original import error with a LookupError. check_stdlib_initialization then reports the secondary symptom and drops the root cause.
Skip the codec initialization when a startup error is already recorded, or chain the new error to the existing one.
Proposed fix
- if let Err(error) = self.init_filesystem_codec() {+ if self.startup_error.is_some() {+ return;+ }+ if let Err(error) = self.init_filesystem_codec() {
