+# WASI integration test gaps
+
+Tests annotated with `#[cfg_attr(wasi_runner, ignore = "...")]` are skipped when running integration tests against a WASI binary via wasmtime. This document tracks the reasons so that gaps in WASI support are visible in one place.
+
+To find all annotated tests: `grep -rn 'wasi_runner, ignore' tests/`
+
+## Tools not yet covered by integration tests
+
+arch, b2sum, cat, cksum, cp, csplit, date, dir, dircolors, fmt, join, ln, ls, md5sum, mkdir, mv, nproc, pathchk, pr, printenv, ptx, pwd, readlink, realpath, rm, rmdir, seq, sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum, shred, sleep, sort, split, tail, touch, tsort, uname, uniq, vdir, yes
+
+## WASI sandbox: host paths not visible
+
+The WASI guest only sees directories explicitly mapped with `--dir`. Host paths like `/proc`, `/sys`, and `/dev` are not accessible. Affected tests include those that read `/proc/version`, `/proc/modules`, `/proc/cpuinfo`, `/proc/self/mem`, `/sys/kernel/profiling`, `/dev/null`, `/dev/zero`, `/dev/full`, and tests that rely on anonymous pipes or Linux-specific I/O error paths.
+
+## WASI: argv/filenames must be valid UTF-8
+
+The WASI specification requires that argv entries and filenames are valid UTF-8. Tests that pass non-UTF-8 bytes as arguments or create files with non-UTF-8 names cannot run under WASI.
+
+## WASI: no FIFO/mkfifo support
+
+WASI does not support creating or opening FIFOs (named pipes). Tests that use `mkfifo` are skipped.
+
+## WASI: no pipe/signal support
+
+WASI does not support Unix signals or pipe creation. Tests that rely on `SIGPIPE`, broken pipe detection, or pipe-based I/O are skipped.
+
+## WASI: no subprocess spawning
+
+WASI does not support spawning child processes. Tests that shell out to other commands or invoke a second binary are skipped.
+
+## WASI: stdin file position not preserved through wasmtime
+
+When stdin is a seekable file, wasmtime does not preserve the file position between the host and guest. Tests that validate stdin offset behavior after `head` reads are skipped.
