Problem

  • bun pm licenses (new in install: pnpm parity — dedupe, prune, pm licenses, audit fix, add --filter/--catalog, nested overrides, transitive update, and workspace fixes #38333, not in any release yet) prints text it did not write: the license, author, description and homepage fields of every installed package.json, and each package's name and resolution.
  • Its sanitizer, printable() in src/runtime/cli/pm_licenses_command.rs, only dropped bytes matching u8::is_ascii_control. C1 controls (U+0080..U+009F; U+009B is the one-character form of ESC [, and xterm-style terminals execute it) went through raw in the license header and in the --long lines.
  • The name@version line was not passed through printable() at all. The version column is the resolution rendered to text (resolution.fmt(...) at the top of exec): for a tarball, folder or git dependency that is a path or URL taken from some package.json in the tree, and the name of such a package is whatever its own package.json says. A tarball named dep-<U+009B>.tgz whose manifest is named dep-<U+009B> installs today and was printed as-is on both sides of the @.
  • Dropping the bytes also misrepresented the data: a license of MIT<ESC>[31m<LF>EVIL was printed as MIT[31mEVIL.
  • Found while reviewing the command's output; there is no user report. Since the command is unreleased, changing what it prints for these fields costs nothing now.

Fix

Background

  • C0 controls are bytes 0x00..0x1F (ESC, BEL, CR, ...), DEL is 0x7F. C1 controls are the code points U+0080..U+009F, encoded in UTF-8 as C2 80..C2 9F; terminals treat several of them as one-byte equivalents of ESC sequences (U+009B = CSI, U+009D = OSC), so a byte-level is_ascii_control filter does not cover them.
  • The version column is the lockfile Resolution formatted as text: the version number for registry packages, otherwise the tarball path or URL, the git URL plus commit, or the folder path. The name column is the lockfile package name, which for tarball, folder and git packages is copied from the package's own package.json (install: reject dependency names containing control characters #38615 and install: reject tarball, folder and git packages whose package.json name is invalid #38633 are about rejecting such names at install time; this PR escapes whatever reaches the printer, and if they land the new test's package name moves to its tarball file name only).
  • escape_control_chars finds candidates with strings::index_of_needs_escape_for_java_script_string, a SIMD scan whose stop set is everything outside 0x20..0x7E plus the quote character (\ is passed as the quote so nothing extra is added), and only inspects those positions, stepping over ordinary multi-byte characters with wtf8_byte_sequence_length.
Notes

Rebased onto main after #38952 (banner and summary line for bun pm licenses) and #40074 landed. One conflict, in the test "control characters from package.json are escaped in text output but preserved in --json": #40074 runs it with --no-summary so the banner cannot match the group-header filter, and this PR changes the expected spelling from dropped to escaped. The resolution keeps both (--no-summary plus the escaped assertions). The five print sites in print_text merged without conflict.

Status: ready for review. Rebased onto main (496a637), no conflicts left.

Reproduced on a debug build of main (8326d1b) with a project depending on a file: tarball named dep-<U+009B>.tgz whose package.json is named dep-<U+009B> and carries ESC and U+009B in license, author, description and homepage: bun pm licenses --long printed the U+009B bytes raw in every line, including both halves of dep-<U+009B>@./dep-<U+009B>.tgz, and dropped the ESC so the header read MIT[31m.... With this branch every line comes out with the characters spelled as \x1b / \u009b escapes; --json is unchanged.

Fail-before / pass-after: the four control-character cases in test/cli/install/bun-pm-licenses.test.ts fail against main and pass here together with the rest of the file (81/81 after the rebase).

This PR also carries the bun_core::fmt::escape_control_chars helper that #38631, #38525, #38536, #38557, #38615 and #38673 need (same hunk as #38631); the description lists what each of them drops or adjusts once this lands.

CI: build 103679 (rebased head) is green on 180 of 181 jobs; the one red job is Debian 13 x64-asan, failing vendor/elysia/test/response/stream.test.ts ("stop stream on canceled request"), which this change does not touch and which has been reported separately. bun-pm-licenses.test.ts passed on every platform, and the gate check (fails without the fix, passes with it, ASAN and release) passed on this head. Earlier revisions: build 99558 fully green; build 99745 red only on the known intermittent test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts (#34850).

LGTM — small, self-contained hardening of bun pm licenses text output.

What was reviewed:

  • EscapeControlChars writer in fmt.rs: traced the scan against index_of_needs_escape_for_javascript_string (stops at <0x20, ≥0x7F, \\) and wtf8_byte_sequence_length; every &s[start..i] slice lands on a UTF-8 char boundary because the input is &str and cursor only advances by whole chars.
  • C1 detection (0xC2 + 0x80..=0x9F) and pass-through for U+00A0+ (same lead byte) and backslash — matches the new test's \\ / © assertions.
  • pm_licenses_command.rs: only the five text-output print sites change; grouping/sorting/version-matching still use the raw bytes and --json is untouched. printable() and the Cow import it needed are deleted.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Three files: a new EscapeControlChars Display adapter added to src/bun_core/fmt.rs (~55 lines, pure safe Rust reusing the existing index_of_needs_escape_for_java_script_string SIMD scan and wtf8_byte_sequence_length); five call sites in src/runtime/cli/pm_licenses_command.rs::print_text swap printable() / raw BStr for escape_control_chars(), and the old printable() helper plus its Cow import are removed; and test/cli/install/bun-pm-licenses.test.ts updates three existing control-char tests from stripped→escaped expectations and adds one new test covering C1 controls, DEL, and the previously-unsanitized name@version column via a tarball specifier.

Security risks

The change reduces a terminal-injection risk: previously U+009B (single-byte CSI) and other C1 controls in package.json fields, plus any control byte in a tarball/git resolution string, reached the terminal raw. The new adapter renders C0, DEL, and C1 as \\n / \\xNN / \\uNNNN literals. Escaping happens only at the print layer, so grouping, sort keys, version equality against the lockfile, and --json output all still operate on the original bytes. There is no new parsing of untrusted input and no unsafe code.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. bun pm licenses is a read-only diagnostic subcommand, and the diff is narrow: one new formatter and a handful of print-site substitutions. The only nontrivial logic is the char-boundary handling in write_str, which I verified — since the writer receives &str (valid UTF-8, including from bstr::BStr's Display, which emits U+FFFD for invalid input bytes), the scan always stops on either an ASCII byte or a UTF-8 lead byte, and start/cursor only advance by 1 (C0/DEL/backslash), 2 (C1), or the lead byte's declared length, so slicing cannot panic. Backslash falls through to the pass-through arm with char_len = 1, matching the documented behavior and the test.

Other factors

No CODEOWNERS entry covers these paths and there are no prior human review comments. The PR follows the repo's review checklist: dead code is deleted in the same commit, the helper lives in bun_core::fmt alongside escape_powershell_impl, tests go in the existing bun-pm-licenses.test.ts rather than a new file, and fail-before / pass-after was demonstrated (80/80 in the file). The one design choice — backslashes are not doubled, so the escaped form is for human display rather than round-trippable — is stated in the PR description and consistent with the --json path being the machine-readable one. The description also notes five sibling PRs add the identical fmt.rs hunk, so the shared placement is deliberate.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it lands a new public bun_core::fmt helper that six other open PRs are meant to converge on (locking in the escape spelling and the backslash-pass-through choice), a human look at the API shape would still be worthwhile before it becomes the shared copy.

What was reviewed:

  • EscapeControlChars::write_str — cursor always stays on a UTF-8 char boundary (input is &str; wtf8_byte_sequence_length never returns 0), so no infinite loop or non-boundary slice panic.
  • Backslash (0x5C) and non-C1 0xC2-prefixed chars (e.g. U+00A9) fall through the third match arm and pass through unchanged; the new test pins both.
  • printable() and its Cow import are deleted; every text-output print site in print_text now goes through the escaper (name and version were previously unsanitized).
  • --json path is untouched; tests confirm raw values round-trip.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR replaces printable() (which dropped ASCII control bytes) in bun pm licenses with a new bun_core::fmt::EscapeControlChars<T: Display> adapter that spells out C0, DEL and C1 controls as visible escapes. It also extends coverage to the name and version columns, which were previously printed raw. Three existing tests are updated from stripped→escaped assertions, and one new test installs a tarball carrying U+009B in its filename, package name and manifest fields to cover the name/version column and the C1 range.

Security risks

This is a defensive change against terminal escape injection from untrusted package.json fields. The implementation covers the full control range (C0, DEL, C1) and applies at every text-output print site; --json is left to its existing JSON-string escaper. I don't see a way for the escaper to emit a raw control byte given valid &str input, and the &[u8] entry point routes through bstr::BStr's Display which replaces invalid sequences with U+FFFD before they reach write_str.

Level of scrutiny

The Rust logic is small and self-contained, and the test coverage is thorough (fail-before/pass-after verified per the description). What warrants a human look is not correctness but the fact that this hunk is explicitly the one six other open PRs (#38631, #38525, #38536, #38557, #38615, #38673) will rebase onto — the escape spelling (\\xNN for C0/DEL, \\uNNNN for C1, backslash left raw) and the generic-over-Display design become the shared contract. That is an API-shape decision a maintainer should sign off on.

Other factors

The two comment-cop inline flags on fmt.rs are resolved false positives (the section-banner comment is the file's convention across ~34 formatters; the rustdoc is a normal three-line doc comment). Dead code (printable, Cow import) is removed in the same PR.

…name@version column

printable() only dropped ASCII controls, so C1 controls (U+0080..U+009F,
which terminals execute like ESC sequences) went through raw in the
license header and --long fields, and the name@version line was printed
unsanitized altogether; a tarball or git resolution is text from a
package.json. Print all of them through escape_control_chars, which
spells C0 controls, DEL and C1 controls out as \n, \x1b, \u009b escapes
instead of silently dropping them.

LGTM — swaps the byte-dropping printable() for a proper escape adapter and covers the previously-unfiltered name@version column.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced EscapeControlCharsWriter::write_str: cursor stays on UTF-8 char boundaries (SIMD scan stops at lead bytes), so s[start..i] never panics; the 0xC2-guard arm correctly maps the second byte to the C1 code point and the fallthrough arm passes \ and non-C1 multi-byte chars (©) through untouched.
  • Confirmed escaping is applied only at the text-output print sites, so grouping/sorting/version comparison and --json still see the raw bytes.
  • Checked the new tarball test exercises both halves of name@version, DEL, C1, a literal backslash, and U+00A9 (same 0xC2 lead as C1) — the negative RAW_CONTROL regex correctly excludes only LF.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Three files: a new ~40-line EscapeControlChars<T: Display> adapter plus escape_control_chars(&[u8]) in src/bun_core/fmt.rs; pm_licenses_command.rs deletes printable() and routes the license header, name, version and --long fields through the new helper; bun-pm-licenses.test.ts respells three existing control-character assertions from stripped→escaped and adds a fourth case that installs a tarball with U+009B in its file name and package name.

Security risks

The change removes a terminal-escape-injection vector rather than adding one: C1 controls (U+009B = single-byte CSI) previously reached the terminal raw and now render as \u009b. The adapter operates on &str from fmt::Write::write_str, so the byte-index slicing is on valid UTF-8; I traced that cursor and i are always at char boundaries (the SIMD scan stops at any byte outside 0x20..0x7E, which for multi-byte chars is always the lead byte), so s[start..i] cannot panic. No auth, crypto, filesystem writes, or network involved.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-low. The command is unreleased (#38333), so the output-format change has no compatibility cost. The new helper follows the established fmt.rs section-banner + Display-adapter pattern (34 siblings in the file) and is intentionally byte-identical to the copy already reviewed in #38631 so whichever lands first the other rebases cleanly. The design decision — escape for readability, don't double backslashes, keep --json as the machine-readable path — is stated in the description and is the right layering per REVIEW.md (escaping lives in the output layer; raw bytes still drive grouping and comparison).

Other factors

Fail-before/pass-after evidence in the PR body (4 tests fail on main, 80/80 pass on the branch, both ASAN and release). CI green on all lanes for the touched test; the one Windows failure is the known bake/deinitialization.test.ts flake (#34850). The two comment-cop inline flags were resolved by the author as false positives (they fired on the section banner and the three-line rustdoc, not justification prose). No CODEOWNERS cover these paths. No outstanding human review comments.

### What does this PR do?

It consolidates 597 open package manager pull requests into one reviewed
change for Bun 1.5. Each was ported, taken in part, or left out with a
reason. This is the complete change log: `X -> Y` = symptom on main ->
behaviour now; a line without `->` names a symptom that is gone; dep =
dependency.

| absorbed | in part | not taken | obsolete | total | issues closed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 464 | 40 | 74 | 19 | 597 | 133 |

699 files, +150,684 / -85,553 (src 221 files +41,383 / -46,459, net
-5,076).

#### Behaviour changes someone will notice

1. Unknown long flags are errors in every package manager command and
bunx (main: `bun install --network-timeout 100000` adds the package
`100000`). Drop the flag; bunx: tool flags go after the tool's name. In
`BUN_OPTIONS` they are skipped.
2. `bun ci`/`--frozen-lockfile` fail (`note: dependencies in
package.json changed since bun.lock was saved`) when a dep of the root
or a workspace was added, removed, re-grouped or re-ranged. Equivalent
spellings, `file:` directory rows (warning),
`trustedDependencies`/`patchedDependencies` edits pass. Run `bun
install`, commit (#41931; refs #22689).
3. `file:` folders are hard-linked real files (hoisted: was a symlink
per file, their deps did not resolve). The folder's own `node_modules`
is not taken, except `bundleDependencies`. Linked, and trusted scripts
run, once, not on every install. Declare or bundle what the folder
needs; `link:` / a workspace for a live link; `--force` reruns scripts
(#40628, #37127; fixes #13379).
4. Hoisted: what the previous `bun.lock` placed and the new one does not
leaves `node_modules`, with what only it needed and its bins; not under
`--filter`, not what no lockfile placed (`bun prune`) (#29794, #44406).
5. One-time re-downloads: registry metadata (cache format bump), `file:`
/ URL tarballs, packages of registries on a port, path or http; `bunx`
starts a new cache.
6. Retries wait: a registry that refuses connections costs about 9 s
before the install fails (main: at once).
`BUN_CONFIG_HTTP_RETRY_BACKOFF=<ms>` sets the first wait.
7. Dep names over 255 bytes per component are refused (main: a
4,100-byte name in a manifest aborts), as are the names under Security.
8. Workspace's symlinked `node_modules` is replaced by a real directory,
like links at `@scope`, `.bin`, `.bun/**` (main wrote and deleted
through them). Only the root `node_modules` link is followed: link the
root, not members (#42039).
9. `"trustedDependencies": []` kept the default trusted list off only on
the install that created `bun.lock` -> always, also in a checkout
without the workspace that declares it; written to `bun.lock` (one line;
Bun 1.4 honours it, drops it at its next save) (#44765).
10. `!dir/**` in `workspaces` also removes `dir`, as npm; negated
entries work in every spelling (`!./pkg`, `!pkg/`) and position, add no
members; `bun run --filter`/`--workspaces` follow them (#43401, #43400;
fixes #43399).
11. `bun pm ls` lists what is on disk, exits 1 without `node_modules`;
isolated: a dep of the root only if its link exists (#38923; fixes
#38909).
12. Linker sticks: while `node_modules/.bun` exists, a command that
names no linker keeps the isolated layout (main: lays hoisted over it).
Back: `--linker=hoisted` or delete `node_modules`.
13. `NODE_ENV=development`/`test`: `bun install` reads the `.env` files
`bun run` reads, not the production ones.
14. `--provenance`, `--provenance-file`, `publishConfig.provenance`,
`NPM_CONFIG_PROVENANCE`, `provenance=true` in `.npmrc` are errors (main:
published without it). Unset them or publish with npm (#30522; refs
#18611).
15. `packageExtensions` adds a key to `bun.lock`, a trailing section to
`bun.lockb`, only when an extension added something; older versions load
both.
16. Fresh resolves pick differently (locked versions stay): see
Resolver; Overrides. glibc hosts stop installing `-musl` variants
(`--libc='*'` for both).
17. New `warn:` lines: incorrect peers, deprecated versions, skipped
required deps, stale / misplaced `patchedDependencies`, unreadable
config files, retries, unusable hashes.
18. Dep's script finds its own `.bin`, then the inherited `PATH`, then
shared `.bin`s, so an untrusted package's `node` bin cannot run inside a
trusted script. Cost: a global `node-gyp` wins over the project's, for
dep scripts only (#44488).
19. If `bun install` itself is killed while a trusted dep's script runs,
the next install calls the package installed (registry packages: as
main; `file:` folders, local tarballs: the rerun on every install hid
it). `bun install --force` (#42001).

#### Decisions that need the maintainer's confirmation

- Frozen installs start failing (2). Of 241 `bun.lockb` files from this
repo's release tags, 6 that pass on main fail here (4 real drift).
- A frozen install with only a foreign lockfile writes nothing: no
`bun.lock`, no package.json edit, one note (#38804). Reverses #38333.
- Changes 1, 9 (teams on 1.4 and 1.5 see the `[]` line come and go), 10,
11, 12 (removing `linker = "isolated"` no longer switches a tree), 14,
18.
- The `packageExtensions` lockfile key (15): without it an edited or
removed extension cannot be told from the package's own deps. #43104 /
#43209 are out for needing a key.
- Scripts that run now and did not: #41803 (its opposite #41866 is out),
#41845, #39443, #43913, #42001, #38780, `bunx --trust`. No longer: root
scripts under `--dry-run`; under frozen, scripts of an installed package
trusted after the lockfile was saved (main: every frozen install; now a
plain install once, frozen never, silently).
- No state file, so a killed install goes unnoticed (19). The complete
fix is one bit or list per project, read once per install.
- Tarball cache entries named by integrity; full manifests by package
name for `libc`; #38813; +1 `renameat` per linked package (#38783); a
token survives only an http -> https redirect on one hostname (#38001);
#39603 flips a row of #38867.
- Hoisted thread pool on macOS: on; CI only, no stress run.
- Open: mask URLs in source excerpts under a diagnostic (not done);
should `bun pm pack` follow a symlinked `node_modules` (it does,
#41925).

#### New features and flags

- Yarn Berry migration (on main since): here package.json is written
just before `bun.lock` and only if that is saved; `link:` stays `link:`;
`libc` is honoured (#40057)
- `link:./dir`, `link:../x`, absolute paths: symlink to that directory,
relative to the declaring package.json, as Yarn / pnpm; `link:foo` stays
a `bun link` name (#40025; fixes #4719, #5045)
- `packageExtensions` in the root package.json adds missing deps / peers
to registry packages, can mark a peer optional (#40053)
- `bun pm cache pack <file>`/`unpack <file>`: the cache entries a
lockfile needs as one file (CI); unpack adds what is missing, refuses a
damaged pack whole (#40012)
- `bun pm cache prune [--max-age <days>] [--dry-run]`: drops cache
entries older than 30 days, not the global store (#42592)
- `bun pm fetch`: downloads all deps (pinned git too) into the cache; no
`node_modules`, scripts or lockfile write (#29509)
- `bun publish --recursive`/`--filter <pattern>`: packs the selected
workspaces, publishes deps first, skips private and already published
ones; the first failure ends the run (#41292)
- `bun update --depth 0`: direct deps only, transitive ones stay locked
(#41720; fixes #41625)
- `bun prune --check`: exit 1 when anything would be removed (#39216)
- `minimumReleaseAgeExcludes` takes `name@version`; new
`--minimum-release-age-excludes a,b@1.2.3`; `bun audit fix` honours the
list (#37909, #42803; fixes #28967, #42799)
- `minimumReleaseAge` accepts `90m`, `12 hours`, `3d`, `2 weeks`;
`nan`/`inf` are config errors; `0` no longer fetches full manifests
(#30529)
- `libc`: on Linux only the glibc or musl variant of an optional native
package is installed; recorded in `bun.lock`; `--libc` overrides
(#38797; fixes #16282)
- `bunx --cwd <dir>` (#28669; fixes #28668)
- `bunx --env-file <file>` (main: `unrecognised dependency format:
@.env`); not `bun --env-file F x pkg` (#35599; fixes #12430, #17759)
- `bunx --minimum-release-age`, part of its cache key (#30751; fixes
#30748)
- `--env-file`, `--no-env-file`, bunfig `env = false` for all package
manager commands (main: `--env-file ci.env` added the package `ci.env`)
(#36672; fixes #12011, #31450)
- `npm-shrinkwrap.json` is migrated like package-lock.json (#38861)
- Deprecated versions are reported: one line per direct dep, one for the
rest, all with `--verbose` (#35457; fixes #6883)
- `bun add -d | --optional | --peer <pkg>` moves a package another group
lists; `--save-prod` moves it back (#36284; fixes #4852, #5714)
- `bun audit fix` reports and rewrites the `overrides` rule that holds a
vulnerable version (#38785)
- `bun pm pkg set`/`delete`: arrays (append, index), bracketed names
(`exports[./package.json]`) (#38025; fixes #22035)
- `--dry-run` for `bun link`, `unlink`, `pm version`, `pm cache rm`, `pm
trust`, `pm pkg`, `pm migrate` (main: they wrote) (#41690)
- `bun publish` honours `publishConfig.registry` and
`publishConfig["@scope:registry"]` (#38322; fixes #18670)
- Auto-install reads registries and credentials from `.npmrc` (main:
`@corp/x` came from the default registry) (#44754)
- `NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG` names the user `.npmrc`, as
`actions/setup-node` sets it (#38047)
- `Cache-Control: no-cache`, `no-store`, `max-age` under 300 s on
registry metadata (#41644)
- Workspace can depend on the root package with `workspace:*`, also for
pack / publish (#36594; fixes #2773, #5176)
- `"gypfile": false` turns off the implicit `node-gyp rebuild`; a
trusted tarball, git, `file:` package with `binding.gyp` and no scripts
is built like a registry one (#43913; fixes #43903)
- Scripts get `npm_package_name`/`version`/`json` of their own package,
`npm_config_local_prefix`, `npm_package_config_*`,
`npm_lifecycle_event`, `npm_lifecycle_script`; inherited `npm_package_*`
are dropped (#36690, #38110; fixes #12752)
- Hoisted linker links packages on up to 8 threads, whatever
`node_modules` holds (nothing, a part, other versions, `--force`) and
after a download; not on Windows; `file:`/`link:` / workspace / trusted
deps, bins and scripts stay on the main thread; everything in today's
order, scripts too; a cold install is no faster (#29496)

#### Security

- Registry URL that is not http(s) (`htps://`, no scheme): `pm view`,
`whoami`, `publish`, `audit`, `pm diff` sent the token there over plain
TCP; a bad `BUN_CONFIG_REGISTRY` fell back to another registry with the
token -> error, no request, on every route (#41662, #41773)
- Token, `_auth`, user or password with CR, LF, NUL could inject
headers, as could `--otp`, `--user-agent` -> refused (#37458, #41661)
- `token = "$NPM_TOKEN"` with the variable unset sent the literal text
-> warning, nothing sent (#41049)
- Passwords and tokens in registry, tarball, git URLs were printed in
errors, warnings, summaries, `--verbose`, `pm ls`/`why`/`view`/`diff`,
`audit`, migrations -> masked (#38977, #38997, #38817)
- Control characters from manifests, lockfiles, registry answers reached
the terminal (`pm view`, `licenses`, `untrusted`, `audit`, resolutions,
bin names, errors) -> escaped (#38536, #38631, #39358, #38525)
- Dep names `.bin`, `node_modules`, a bare `@scope`, with control
characters, empty or scope-only were installed or requested -> refused;
skipped with a warning in a third party's manifest (#44439, #38615,
#43331, #41735)
- Registry, git or tarball package could `link:` a directory, use a
local `.tgz` of the project or a `file:` path that leaves it -> refused
at resolve and install time (#39023, #38986, #43101)
- Dep's own `npm:` alias could replace a same-named direct dep of the
root; an alias in a refused or stale lockfile kept redirecting -> the
root's dep wins; loaders register no aliases (#44412, #44294)
- Frozen install asked the registry for a range that `bun.lock` links to
a workspace missing on disk (dependency confusion) -> fails without a
request (#43471)
- Global store: a trusted package's script could modify shared deps; `pm
trust` ran scripts in the store, saw nothing under isolated -> its
closure is project-local (#40239, #35106)
- Failing script of an optional workspace / `link:` dep deleted that
folder -> only what the linker placed goes (#43226)
- `bun prune`, `update`, `dedupe` removed packages behind a symlinked
workspace `node_modules` -> prune refuses (exit 1), the others skip it
(#44484; fixes #44669)
- `bun add -g`, `link`, `unlink` replaced or deleted foreign files in
the global bin directory -> only what Bun made (#39745)
- `bun pm cache rm` could delete the project, home or Bun's directory
(an empty `BUN_INSTALL_CACHE_DIR` meant the project) -> refused (#39750)
- Project's bunfig.toml could point `globalDir`/`globalBinDir` anywhere
-> ignored with a warning (#41775)
- `bunx` installed into the shared temp directory, where another user's
`node_modules` / package.json was loaded -> `<cache>/.bunx-<uid>`, 0700
(#44393, #31447)
- Applying a patch followed symlinks and wrote through hard links ->
refused (#32677)
- Tarball could make Bun allocate the disk or memory its headers claim;
sparse members keep their holes (#36542)
- `minimumReleaseAge`: an exact version passed when only the abbreviated
manifest was cached; so did a publish time that is not a date (#38659,
#43307)
- `BUN_CONFIG_NO_VERIFY=0` turned verification off, `=1` did not -> off
only for `1` or `true` (#38310)
- Manifest hash Bun cannot use skipped verification silently -> warning
(#38484)
- `bun audit` took a malformed registry answer for a clean audit ->
failed audit; a scoped registry is named and skipped (#38557)
- Pack: keys of a bundled dep that are not package names pulled in
outside files; `**/a/b` patterns, a BOM, trailing spaces disabled ignore
rules; a symlinked README was sent (#44902, #41531, #41871)
- `bun publish` published with `"private": "true"` or `1` -> any truthy
value is private (#41664)
- Auto-install read a package.json version from the wrong buffer, an
alias could redirect other packages (#42839)

#### Install core

- Killed or failed install left a half-linked package that later
installs accepted -> linked in a staging directory, renamed into place
(#38783; fixes #43256)
- Switching hoisted <-> isolated left a mixed tree -> whole tree
replaced, workspaces' `node_modules` too (#38779)
- Each linker switch kept a copy of the old tree in
`node_modules/.old_modules-<hex>` -> deleted after the install; `bun
prune` collects old ones
- `--dry-run` ran root lifecycle scripts and wrote `yarn.lock` (#38830)
- bunfig `[install] dryRun = true` was ignored -> honoured, also by
publish, `pm pack`, prune, dedupe, `audit fix` (#34979)
- Empty package.json (root or member) deleted the lockfile, exit 0 ->
error, lockfile kept (#39666)
- Download that failed for an optional dep was skipped (exit 0) although
another dep or a non-optional peer needs it -> `error: failed to
download <name>@<version>`, exit 1 (#43197, #43219; fixes #43214)
- `--offline` failed on what is below an optional dep it had skipped ->
only misses still reachable are errors (#43185)
- `--offline` exited 0 without a required dep of an optional package
installed in one place, missing in another
- Required direct dep left out for `os`/`cpu` was silent -> warning;
`bun add` reports it as skipped (#41956)
- `--production`/`--omit=dev` failed on a `workspace:`, `link:`, `file:`
devDependency whose target is missing -> left out (#36704; fixes #14134,
#15102)
- `--production` installed, and ran scripts of, a devDependency that is
also an optional peer; `bun prune --production` removes it (#42040)
- Commands that only read package.json opened it for writing -> work on
a read-only file (#38745)
- `$TMPDIR` on another file system than the cache kept a probe file per
install (#38859)
- `bun add`, `remove`, `update`, `patch` rewrote a package.json in which
nothing changed
- `Infinity`/`NaN` were written into package.json -> `null` (#41743)
- Relative `--cwd` was applied twice by `bun update`, `link`, `unlink`,
`why` (#31154; fixes #31152)
- Warnings from native code appeared at exit -> flushed when printed,
also from Workers (#43004; fixes #42989)
- `bun --bun run` worked only for the first user of a shared machine ->
`node` shim directory per user (#35565; fixes #7504)

#### Resolver and version picking

- Range picked a deprecated version (`@types/*` stubs under `*`) ->
prefers one that is not, like npm; a locked version stays until `bun
update` (#36630; fixes #7571, #25314)
- `bun add pkg` installed a deprecated `latest` -> highest release that
is not deprecated; `pkg@latest` still follows the tag (#40317; fixes
#40310)
- Missing or dangling `dist-tags.latest` failed add, install, `update
--latest`, hid the package from `outdated`/`update -i` -> highest
release, with a warning (#36671; fixes #12041)
- `*`, `npm:pkg`, `npm:pkg@*` skipped a prerelease `latest` -> follow
the tag, like npm (#39774)
- Wide range (`*`, `>=1`) nested the newest version -> shares a resolved
version that satisfies it; `bun update` no longer re-adds what `bun
dedupe` removed (#38770)
- `1.0.0 || ^2.0.0`, `=2.5.0 <2` resolved as their first exact version
(#30076)
- `>=0.5 0` was read as alternatives -> intersection, like npm (#32993)
- `^`, `~`, x-ranges admitted prereleases of their upper bound
(`pkg@>=5.0.0-alpha.0 <8` overrode `^4`) -> end at `<X.Y.Z-0` (#43102;
fixes #41371)
- Exact prerelease met a range that does not admit it (`overrides` keys)
(#43150; fixes #43138)
- `>1` meant `>1.0.0` -> `>=2.0.0`; `>1.2` -> `>=1.3.0`, like
node-semver (#43253)
- `<x`, `<*`, `>x`, `>*` matched everything -> nothing; `^x`, `~x` match
any version (#43258)
- Version number above 2^64-1 was read as 0 -> invalid (#42458)
- `Bun.semver.satisfies()` was true for `""`, `1.2.3.4`, `1.2.3 junk`
(#32998)
- `satisfies("1.0.0+build-1", "^1.0.0")` was false; `< =1` was misread
- `pkg@2x`, `1beta`, `1.2x` were read as ranges -> dist-tags (#35259;
fixes #19065)
- Words starting with `ssh`/`http` were read as URLs -> dist-tags
(#37133)
- Leading whitespace in a version literal (tag, folder, tarball, `npm:`,
`catalog:`) broke the install, lost a pin in `bun add --catalog`, or
panicked (#38331, #38309)
- Version published after the manifest was cached failed for up to 5
minutes -> manifest fetched again once (#39790)
- Root dep edited to another package (`npm:` alias) under a range the
old version fits kept the old package (#41774)
- Plain dep got a same-named `npm:` alias's package outside its range
(#43267)
- New dep that follows an `npm:` alias asked for a garbled name (`GET
/1.0.0no-deps - 404`) (#43515; fixes #23264)
- `file:` and `link:` on one directory became one package (#38114)
- `file:` folder in both `dependencies` and `devDependencies` was
duplicated (#41833)
- Editing package.json re-downloaded GitHub / tarball deps, re-fetched
git ones that `bun.lock` resolves (#37142)
- Registry package that bundles a `file:../x` dep failed to install
(#43125)
- Bundled dep's dep took a slot the bundling package resolves through
(#38848; fixes #29263)
- `bundleDependencies` were kept from one dependency group of a manifest
only (#38857)
- Tarball, folder or git package whose own `name` is invalid was
installed under it -> refused (#38633)
- Folder, tarball, git packages without a `name` got broken lockfile
rows -> named after their source (#38681; fixes #17060)
- Dangling `node_modules` symlink was a resolver error -> missing
module; isolated: a failed optional dep goes with the links to it
(#38756)

#### Hoisted linker

- overlayfs: a replaced package of a lower layer kept its old files
beside the new ones, exit 0
- Install over an existing `node_modules` hung when the OS refused the
pool's first thread
- `bun prune` left the `.old-<random>` of a killed install
- macOS: clonefile kept a file already at the destination -> replaced (a
nested package could hold two versions' files)
- Package was hoisted next to an out-of-range version of its peer
(#36300; fixes #20376)
- Dep nested under a package with `bundledDependencies` resolved the
bundled version (#43377; fixes #43351)
- After a version bump the old version of a transitive dep stayed at the
root (#41053)
- Required peer that a migrated lockfile left unbound stayed unbound
(#39343)
- Tree saved after a ranged peer gained a higher candidate differed from
the next install's (#38767)
- `file:` override on a registry package's or transitive dep was not
linked or resolved from the wrong directory -> from the project root,
linked with its deps (#38994, #44339; fixes #44299)
- One `file:` folder that cannot be hard-linked (EXDEV) switched all
later packages to copyfile (#40663)
- Failed optional dep left its `.bin` links (#44931)

#### Isolated linker, global store

- `node_modules` or entry that is a mount point (Docker volume) is kept
and reset in place
- `bun add -g` never linked bins into the global bin directory (#30451;
fixes #28597, #30450)
- Optional dep whose tarball cannot be downloaded or is corrupt failed
the install -> skipped with a warning, also `--offline` (#43229; fixes
#43212)
- `node_modules/.bun/node_modules` changed between installs of one
lockfile with `npm:` aliases -> links named by the dep, one layout
(#40356; fixes #40355)
- Packages that are peers of each other were installed twice (#29345;
fixes #29343)
- Missing `link:` target was accepted -> install fails, as hoisted
(#38045)
- Registry package's own `file:./vendor/x` dep failed -> linked from
inside the package (#38856)
- Workspace's scripts ran before the root's deps and bins were there ->
after everything else; a bin such a script writes is linked for every
dependent (#44868)
- Empty directory, or one without package.json, in a link slot stayed
(#41453)
- Store names of non-ASCII paths were garbled (#40719)
- Package used under its name and an alias got bins for one dependent
only (#44446)
- `--omit=peer` dropped a peer an ancestor provides; `bun prune
--omit=peer` agrees (#41416)
- Files deleted from a `file:` folder stayed in its copy (#37138)
- Links of a renamed or removed workspace stayed in `node_modules` (both
linkers) (#38511)
- `bun prune` left dangling links to removed optional / peer deps in
store entries (#42625)
- Switching the global install's linker removed `bun link` registrations
(#43582)
- Global store: a package whose peer is typed by the project's
`@types/*` was shared, TypeScript missed the types -> project-local
(#36796; fixes #36795)
- Ranged peer whose auto-installed version drops out of the saved tree
was linked to nothing (#38768)

#### Bins

- Hoisted: with `--silent` a failed bin link exited 0 and saved the
lockfile -> 1, nothing saved (#44997, #44958)
- Every install recreated `.bin` links, failed with `EEXIST` on a
read-only up-to-date tree -> a right link is left alone (per bin: chmod
1 -> 0, unlink 1 -> 0, symlink 2 -> 1) (#36701, #20067; fixes #14736)
- Several packages with one bin name: an arbitrary one won -> direct
deps first, then registry / git / tarball before workspace, `file:`,
`link:` packages, then by name (#31416, #41867)
- Isolated made bin targets 0777 -> `0777 & ~umask` (#41509)
- One bin that fails to link stopped the rest (#38972)
- `bin` entry whose value is not a string dropped the package's other
commands (#43159; fixes #43148)
- File system that refuses symlinks (EACCES / EPERM) failed the install
-> one warning, no `.bin` links (#40161)
- Bare `bun update -g`/`bun ci -g` linked no bins; a reinstalled global
package gets its command back (#43384)
- `bun pm migrate`/`pm trust` wrote uninitialised bin bytes into
`bun.lockb` (#37581)

#### bun.lock, bun.lockb

- Corrupt or crafted `bun.lockb` crashed or hung install, `pm ls`,
`why`, `outdated` -> validated at load, refused with a warning; files by
Bun 0.x are normalised and keep loading (#32753, #39720)
- Two strings whose hashes collide became one in the lockfile (#41642)
- Root `file:` or registry dep named like a workspace made Bun write a
lockfile it refuses (`Duplicate package path`) -> the member beats
`file:`; a registry range it does not satisfy gets the root slot
(#37245, #37248)
- Root alias of the registry package named like a workspace dropped the
workspace (#43567)
- `file:` paths from the lockfile were resolved from the wrong directory
after `bun update` or an override removal (#38850)
- Re-resolving install dropped packages `bun.lock` holds only through
optional peers (#39002)
- Package printed at several paths got its edges from the wrong row
(#39347)
- Re-saving moved a bundled peer off its entry's version, and a peer
nothing satisfies (#38837, #38892)
- `bun add` installed nothing when `bun.lock` repeats a dependency line
(#43271)
- `--lockfile-only` saved after an error; `--silent` failed on a
`bun.lock` it ignores (#44364)
- `bun.lock`, `bun.lockb`, `yarn.lock` ignored the umask (`yarn.lock`
0666) (#41808)
- `bun <path>.lockb` printed the directory's lockfile, read `.env`,
needed package.json -> prints the given file (git textconv works)
(#44870)
- `git+git://` resolutions did not load back from `bun.lock` (#38798)
- `bun pm migrate`/`pm trust` wrote another
`configVersion`/`patchedDependencies` than install; yarn entries without
`#sha1` (#41908; fixes #38193)
- Absolute or over-long workspace path in `bun.lock` / pnpm-lock.yaml
crashed or counted as pruned (#43405)
- `bun install --yarn` rewrote an unchanged `yarn.lock` every time

#### --frozen-lockfile, bun ci

- `bun ci` failed in a workspace when nothing changed (member with a
script and a `latest` row); one member's edit moved pins elsewhere ->
members are compared row by row, keep their pins (#44919; fixes #26070)
- Version the lockfile pins was blocked by `minimumReleaseAge` (#40032;
fixes #40031)
- After a migration with a root postinstall, or `pm migrate` to
`bun.lockb`, the next frozen install failed on the meta hash (#44501)
- With both `overrides` and `resolutions` only `overrides` applied ->
both; a lockfile without those rules fails frozen, 1.4's too (#38811)
- Direct dep pinned outside its unchanged range (one-sided merge) was
installed, frozen passed -> re-resolved; frozen fails (#43375; fixes
#43795)

#### Migrations (npm, pnpm, Yarn v1)

- Yarn Berry: a range `yarn.lock` has no key for is the workspace that
satisfies it; Yarn's own `packageExtensions`; `resolutions` keyed on an
alias; a name in several groups of a workspace; `catalog:` in an
extension; `%xx` in a folder name; clearer refusals (#45052)
- Yarn v1, npm: a dep the lockfile has no entry for is reported (#45052)
- npm: a scope registry with a path and no trailing slash gave
`InvalidNPMLockfile` (#38698)
- npm: a package's own `file:` directory was resolved from the project;
one that climbs out is skipped (#38990)
- npm: a `file:` directory copied by `--install-links` failed with
EISDIR (#43103)
- pnpm: `pnpm-workspace.yaml` was read only with a migratable lockfile;
`bun patch --commit` then segfaulted (#38754)
- pnpm: the `pnpm` block was removed from package.json -> kept, fields
copied (#38775)
- pnpm: `onlyBuiltDependencies` was lost -> `trustedDependencies`;
isolated reports blocked scripts (#38780)
- pnpm: importer rows differed from a package.json parse, the next
install rewrote `bun.lock` (#38791)
- pnpm: only used catalog entries were migrated (#38829)
- pnpm: non-string keys / values in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` crashed ->
scalars copied as written (`react: 18` -> `"18"`) (#44470)
- Read-only commands and failed installs wrote a migrated lockfile and
package.json edits -> only a command that saves a lockfile (#38804)
- Yarn v1: workspace packages were dropped when the root has no deps
(#38878)
- Yarn v1: `npm:` alias packages were named after the tarball URL
(#38948)
- Yarn v1: registry entries without `resolved` failed (#38985)
- Yarn v1: an entry without a buildable resolution aborted the migration
-> skipped with a warning (#39001)

#### Workspaces, catalogs

- Member without a `name` failed the install -> skipped (#38781; fixes
#6317)
- Dist-tag (`latest`, `""`) on an unpublished sibling got a 404 -> links
the workspace (#35468; fixes #4830)
- Empty `workspace:` spec linked the project into itself -> error; a
glob like `../*` made the root its own member (#41653)
- Workspace globs skipped symlinked member directories (#41567)
- Range linked to a workspace stayed linked after the root dropped it
(#43468)
- Workspaces of a package.json in `/` (or `C:\`) were not found (#43404)
- `workspaces` glob that fails named no path (#43517)
- `bun update <name>` rewrote `workspace:^`, `file:` and other
non-registry entries (#38847)
- `bun add member@workspace:^` lost the spelling (#38866)
- `bun update` printed no row, or another catalog's version, for a moved
catalog entry (#38763)
- `bun update -i` updated one of several catalogs defining a package ->
a row per catalog (#36446)
- Failed `catalog:` dep always suggested `bun add --catalog` -> only
where that works (#44638)
- `npm run <script> -w <ws>`/`--workspaces` inside a script recursed
forever -> runs the workspace's script (#33800; fixes #22719, #24838,
#33796, #41543)

#### Overrides, peers

- Auto-installed peer took the newest version of one asker -> newest
that everyone asking accepts (#36646; fixes #8292, #15711)
- `*` peers resolved by manifest arrival order -> after their siblings;
unprovided peers in a fixed order (#37713)
- `incorrect peer dependency` was checked against any copy in the tree,
hoisted only, every install -> the copy each dependent resolves, both
linkers, only when something was resolved (#41936; fixes #7403)
- Peer that a `file:`, `link:`, tarball or git dep provides was looked
up in the registry (#33156)
- Peer dependency on `bun` downloaded the `bun` npm package (80-170 MB)
-> optional (#39757)
- `minimumReleaseAge` blocking a peer or optional pin failed the install
-> warning (#38995)
- `bun update name@version` bound a peer row to a stale lockfile
leftover (#38901)
- Override replaced the link to a member of that name (#37271)
- Changing `overrides` / catalogs re-resolved rows a package no longer
owns (#38849)
- `bun update <name>` left rows of a `$name` override stale, frozen
passed (#43981; fixes #43975)
- `bun update --latest` moved versions an override selects; `-r` wrote
`"latest"` into package.json (#44485)
- `overrides`/`resolutions` that are not objects were ignored -> error
(#40729)
- Keys `foo@catalog:`, `my-foo@npm:foo[@^1]` (Yarn) were ignored with a
warning

#### Registries, credentials, .npmrc, bunfig

- `.npmrc` credentials follow npm's key walk: `//host/` covers paths
below it, `_auth` sent as written, a line reaches registries named by
`--registry` / env / `$VAR`, a tarball on another https host gets that
host's line; a sibling or look-alike path inherits nothing; `:443`/`:80`
keys keep working (#40423; fixes #28233, #30311, #30513, #40549)
- Registry URL without a trailing slash lost its last path segment
(#36294; fixes #5368, #14017, #16185, #20373)
- `user:pass@` in a registry URL from an env var was dropped (#38834)
- `user@`/`user:@` sent nothing -> Basic auth with an empty password
(#39063)
- URL credentials were sent percent-encoded -> decoded (`p%40ss` sends
`p@ss`) (#39603)
- `.npmrc`: `;`/`#` comments were part of the value; `ignore-scripts=1`,
`=True`, empty did nothing -> as npm (#41916)
- `.npmrc` keys and values kept Unicode whitespace (#41714)
- `--ca`/`--cafile` were shadowed by a config file's `cafile` -> one
setting, a later layer replaces both (#41898)
- `-g` commands ignored `globalDir` from `--config` and `~/.bunfig.toml`
(#35454; fixes #4553; refs #12886)
- `~` in `cache.dir`, `globalDir`, `globalBinDir`, `cafile` was a
literal directory (#36667; fixes #10152, #26715)
- `[install.cache] disable = true` still cached manifests (#36219)
- Unreadable `.npmrc` / bunfig.toml was skipped silently -> warning
(#41693)
- `bun publish`, `pm whoami`, `audit`, `pm view`, `pm diff` ignored
`http_proxy` and `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0` (#38075, #38093)
- `bun pm whoami` sent a stub CI name -> the real vendor
(`ci/github-actions`) (#40805)

#### Network, retries

- Retries came at once, one network error halved concurrency -> 250 ms
doubling to 10 s with jitter, `Retry-After`, 429 / 408 retried,
certificate errors not (#40009)
- Timed-out request was retried silently -> a warning per retry (#35168)
- `BUN_CONFIG_MAX_HTTP_REQUESTS` was ignored (#38744)
- Help and docs said `--network-concurrency` defaults to 48 -> 64
(#38759)

#### Cache, tarballs, extraction

- Process could exit before the manifests it fetched were cached:
`--offline` right after an install could fail
- `file:` / URL tarballs were cached by path or URL, two projects or
branches got each other's package -> by the integrity in `bun.lock`
(#39016)
- `file:` / URL tarball deps were reinstalled on every run (hoisted) ->
verified by a `.bun-tag` (#35576; fixes #8260)
- `--force`, `bun update`, re-adding the same path / URL kept old bytes
or the old hash -> direct tarball deps are fetched again (#31868; fixes
#31864)
- Re-extraction leaked the displaced cache folder; extraction
directories stayed in `$TMPDIR` (#38702, #33979; fixes #33977; refs
#28062)
- Two registries on one host (port, path, http) shared cache entries
(#41636)
- Concurrent installs sharing a cache deleted each other's entries
(ENOENT without `RENAME_EXCHANGE`, NFS) -> first writer wins (#36229;
fixes #36227)
- Gzip trailer was not verified (since 1.3.14) -> a damaged tarball
fails; also `Bun.Archive` (#41503)
- Body that is not gzip installed as an empty package; a tarball without
package.json stayed in the cache
- Query string / fragment of a tarball URL ended up in the extraction
folder name (#39011)
- `github:` tarballs extracted symlink entries -> skipped, like npm
(#31481)
- Rewriting a cached manifest unlinked it first -> atomic replace
(#38916)
- `--no-verify` cached unchecked bytes under the lockfile's hash, for
all projects -> own key; isolated kept such a copy

#### git, GitHub, folder deps

- Cached git dep never saw tags / branches pushed later; `bun update`
follows moved refs (#35566; fixes #11548, #13769, #15336, #18947)
- `git+ssh://git@host:2222/..` lost its port in the ssh fallback
(#36932; fixes #36931)
- `deploy@host:org/repo.git` became `git@deploy@host` (#35026)
- `bun add name@git+ssh://host/repo.git` lost the alias for hosts other
than GitHub (#36687; fixes #13891)
- `github:o/r#feat%2Fx` silently installed the default branch; an
escaped owner / repo is an error (#43172)
- Optional git dep that cannot be cloned or lacks the ref failed the
install -> skipped with a warning, also when locked (#43076, #43352;
fixes #43350)
- Several `github:` / git refs on one commit, or a `file:` folder
declared by several packages, failed with EEXIST or wrote a lockfile Bun
refuses -> one package (#42640, #42545)
- Concurrent cold installs replaced each other's git cache folder
(#42656)
- `GIT_DIR` (git hooks) made install and `bun create` work on another
repository -> 13 git variables are not passed on (#41715)
- `file:` folders declared by git / tarball packages were resolved from
the project (#38816)
- Bare word or `git@host/path` was handed to `git clone` as a local
path; a URL could be read as an option
- `bun link -g`/`unlink -g` failed; `bun link -g <name>` removed the
registration -> `-g` is ignored (#33142; fixes #21397, #33141)

#### Lifecycle scripts, trust

- Hoisted: beyond `--concurrent-scripts`, the next script waited for all
running ones to end -> for one
- Failed or unstartable script left other packages in place whose
scripts never ran, and never would -> removed
- `trustedDependencies` entry added to a member after the first install
did nothing -> its blocked scripts run once (#41803)
- Isolated: a package trusted after it was installed never ran its
scripts (#41845)
- Package installed through an `npm:` alias could not be trusted
consistently -> by its real name in package.json, `--trust`, `pm trust`,
`bun.lock` (#39443)
- `bun pm untrusted`/`trust`/`ls --trusted` followed a stale lockfile,
knew nothing with `bun.lockb` -> read package.json (#41933, #34327)
- `pm untrusted`/`trust` listed and reran workspace members (#41513)
- Failing script of a package both optional and required deleted the
package, exit 0 -> install fails (#43218; fixes #43211)
- `--concurrent-scripts` did not apply to the isolated linker (#42445;
fixes #42421)
- bunfig `concurrentScripts` beat `--concurrent-scripts` (#42422)
- Node-gyp shim was unreachable when the temp directory falls back to
the cache (#38098; fixes #38079)
- `--help` said dep scripts never run -> `--ignore-scripts` also skips
trusted ones (#38893)
- `bun pm -g untrusted` suggested `bun pm trust` -> `bun pm -g trust`
(#44663)
- After a failed script, a half-deleted git / tarball / patched package
counted as installed

#### Security scanner, audit

- Scanner saw registry packages only -> every resolved dep (git, GitHub,
tarball, `file:`, `link:`), URLs without userinfo / query; a fatal
advisory stops them before install and scripts (#37590)
- `--production`/`--omit=dev` failed when the scanner is a devDependency
(#31031; fixes #31028)
- Scanner process loaded `.env` itself -> gets the install's
environment, follows `--env-file`, `--no-env-file`, `env = false`
(#44845)
- `bun audit fix` could downgrade into an older major (#39317)
- `bun audit --help` lacked `--production`, `--omit`, `--dry-run`,
`--cwd` (#38836)

#### add, remove, update, outdated, link

- Hoisted: `bun remove foo` deleted the `node_modules/foo` another
workspace has for `"foo": "npm:bar"`
- `link`, `install <pkg>`, `install --analyze`, `update -i`, `remove`
exited 0 after `Failed to install N packages` -> 1 (#44989)
- `bun add ../path` from below package.json, `bun install -g .` resolved
from the wrong directory -> the cwd (#43348, #36623; fixes #5682)
- `bun add <folder | tarball | git url>` of a declared package wrote it
twice (#43380; fixes #8031)
- First `bun add -g` used a package.json above the global directory
(`~/package.json`) (#30659; fixes #40683)
- `bun add --dry-run` in an empty directory created package.json
(#36694; fixes #13244)
- `bun remove` reordered package.json keys -> order, tabs, final newline
kept (#35586; fixes #7215, #9351)
- `bun remove -g` left dangling links in the global `node_modules/.bin`,
deleted foreign dangling links in the bin directory (#43403)
- `bun update <name>` blanked an optional / peer range no version
satisfies (#43195)
- `bun update` that only rewrites package.json said `(no changes)`
(#38918; fixes #38908)
- `bun update -i` repeated its prompt on mouse clicks and in short
terminals (#39683)
- `update -i`/`outdated` tables were sized in bytes -> display width
(CJK, emoji), cells escaped (#43333, #43236)
- `outdated`/`update -i` used the lockfile's ranges -> package.json's
(#42005)
- `bun outdated a b` needed all patterns to match -> union; `!pattern`
removes (#43309)
- `outdated`/`why` knew an aliased dep by one name -> either, both
printed (#43338)
- Coloured version diff dropped the build tag, left a tag that only
grows (`rc.1` -> `rc.10`) dim; long prerelease tags were garbled
(#38688, #38649)
- `minimumReleaseAge` error swapped range and name (#37895)
- `bun link`/`unlink --help` described a wrong `--save` default (#38915)

#### bun pm, why, info

- `bun pm pkg get` of several values altered one with a `}` in it, left
a key unescaped (#45061)
- `bun pm cache rm --cache-dir <dir>` cleared the global cache ->
`<dir>`; project config still cannot redirect it
- `bun pm bin -g`/`pm ls -g` failed before any global install -> work,
write nothing (#36622; fixes #6382, #7501, #13019)
- `bun pm cache rm` says when the global store goes with the cache; docs
name `--force` for stale manifests (#43667)
- `bun pm version` saw no repository in worktrees / submodules (`.git`
is a file) (#41754)
- `bun pm version prerelease` overflowed above 2^32; versions npm calls
invalid were accepted (#42459)
- `bun pm view pkg@tag`/`pm diff` used `latest` for an unknown dist-tag
-> error listing the tags (#42063)
- `bun pm`, `pm --help`, an unknown subcommand printed three help texts,
unindented, without `pm diff` and `ls -g` -> one (#39487, #43314,
#43098; fixes #43310)
- `bun pm bin -g` said `not in $PATH` for an entry with a trailing slash
(#28773; refs #28771)
- `bun why` printed a package's dependents at every occurrence
(exponential) -> once, repeats `*deduped` (#37922)
- `bun why name@version` failed for exact / scoped names, ignored a
workspace's version (#43284, #43290; fixes #43288)
- `bun why`: no-match error on stdout -> stderr (#43287; fixes #43285)
- `bun why`: branch left open after the last visible workspace dependent
(#43292; fixes #43291)
- `bun why`: a cycle back to the queried package is `*circular` at its
first repeat (#43300; fixes #43295)
- `bun why`: a root package.json without `name` was missing as a
dependent (#43277)
- `bun why`: a peer dependent was shown under the wrong copy (#41941)

#### pack, publish

- `workspace:`/`catalog:` versions came from `bun.lock` (stale, or
failed without one) -> the package.json files; no lockfile is read
(#38813; fixes #20477, #20829)
- `workspace:` aliases and directories were published as written ->
`npm:` aliases; the workspace's version (#38788, #38835)
- `!pattern` in `.npmignore` could not re-include files below an
excluded directory (#36699; fixes #15602)
- Relative `--destination`, `--filename`, `bun publish ./x.tgz` were
resolved from the package root -> the cwd (#38739, #38704)
- Failed pack left a partial tarball, `publish --dry-run` deleted an
existing one, a FIFO `--filename` hung -> built in memory, written once
complete (#38721)
- File names that are not UTF-8 were mangled, two became one entry
(#38715)
- File systems whose readdir reports `DT_UNKNOWN` lost entries (#38716)
- `bin` paths naming no file, `..`, a trailing slash in
`directories.bin` broke pack; an empty `bin` hid `directories.bin`
(#38720)
- File under several `bin` names was packed several times (#41291)
- Directory, bin or bundled dep that is there but unreadable was left
out silently -> exit 1 (#44400, #44873)
- `bun publish` accepted a `version` that is not semver -> refused after
the scripts; `v1.0.0` goes out as `1.0.0` (#43142)

#### bun patch

- `--commit` from a workspace member flipped the root package.json's
final newline to the member's
- Patch adding a file in a new directory failed with `EACCES` for
non-root users (#33573; fixes #13330, #33571, #38569)
- Hunks were applied by line number, wrote wrong text when the file had
moved; `-U0` hunks landed a line off -> placed by context like `git
apply`; `hunk #N does not apply` fails the install (#41733, #41695;
fixes #38879)
- Old-style diffs whose hunks delete lines starting with `-- a/` were
misparsed (#34870)
- Failed copy, missing cache entry, missing git or failed `git diff`
left a partial or no `node_modules/<pkg>` -> staged copy, everything put
back (#43188, #43160; fixes #43164)
- `bun patch` dropped the package's bundled and nested deps, `--commit`
recorded them as deleted (#43178)
- `bun patch` of a bundled dep deleted the bundled copy -> refused
(#43199)
- `bun patch` of a `file:` folder, `link:` or workspace package damaged
`node_modules` -> refused (#43223; fixes #43200)
- `bun patch <path>` replaced a folder with another version -> refused
when the version is not locked (#43367; fixes #43353)
- `npm:` alias could not be named by its package; a second `bun patch
<alias>` lost the first patch (#43382)
- Isolated: `bun patch <transitive>` made a stray `node_modules/<name>`
-> edits the store entry (#43383)
- `bun patch` replaced workspace links and symlinks above the package,
could write into the global store -> links stay; anything under the
cache is refused (#43406)
- `--commit` on a patched package wrote `.bun-tag` files and cache paths
into the patch, read `/etc/gitconfig` (#44349; fixes #19327, #44320)
- `--commit`: a new binary file became empty, a changed one was skipped,
exit 0 -> commit fails
- Member's `patchedDependencies` were ignored silently -> warning
(#39869)
- Isolated: `bun patch` replaced `node_modules/<pkg>` by a directory
that could not load its deps -> edits a copy in the store entry, the
link stays; global store: `--commit` restores the link (#43365)

#### bunx

- `bunx pkg@latest` relinked everything each run, a day-old tree was
refreshed every run -> once; served with a warning when the registry
gives no answer (#41226; fixes #23597, #41211)
- Several `bunx <pkg>` at once corrupted the shared install -> file lock
(#37851; fixes #37830)
- `directories.bin` was resolved from the wrong directory (#39096)

#### bun create

- Windows: a GitHub template silently overwrote files (its conflict list
was always empty) and wrote through junctions -> listed; `--force`
replaces the link
- `bun create <local template> <dir>` deleted an existing directory ->
merges, lists conflicts (links in the destination too), overwrites only
with `--force` (#36351; fixes #27948, #36341)
- `git init` / commit raced tasks and install -> finished first; the
first commit holds exactly the template (#41342; fixes #36953)
- `bun-create` tasks ran without a shell, not at all without deps,
failures ignored -> run like package.json scripts, with
`npm_package_name`; a failing task stops with its exit code (#41598,
#38955)
- Failed nested `bun install` was ignored -> exits with its code
(#38485)
- Absolute template path crashed -> local folder; `.`, `..`, an empty
name are refused (#41770)
- `bun create ./Component.tsx` overwrote your stylesheet,
`styles/globals.css`, `lib/utils.ts` -> kept and listed; `--force`
overwrites (#44668)
- Template's package.json indentation was lost (#36965; fixes #36964)
- Missing-export hint printed `{{` `}}` (#37847)

#### Auto-install

- Timers and I/O callbacks ran inside `require()`, `import()`,
`Bun.resolveSync()` while a package was fetched -> the thread waits; git
deps are no longer cloned at run time (#36159; fixes #43842)
- Second version (`pkg@2` after `pkg@1`) with the manifest in the disk
cache failed with `Unexpected` (#36659; fixes #10411)
- Failed lookup failed until the process exited -> a 404 stands as long
as a cached manifest (5 min, or its `Cache-Control`); any other failure
is asked again once the event loop has gone around (#42883)
- Failed download limited `fetch()` to 4 concurrent requests for the
rest of the process (#42945)
- `--prefer-offline` still asked the registry -> cached manifest
(#36776)
- Resolve errors did not say why (#38180)
- bunfig `install.prefer` worked for `bun run <file>` only -> also `bun
<file>`, `bun test`
- Dep whose name or version has a JSON escape fell back to `latest`

#### Completions, installer

- Second completions line was added to a `.zshrc` that already sources
`~/.bun/_bun` (#35561; fixes #10897)
- fish completions went to `/etc` when `~/.config/fish/completions` is
missing (#41659)
- install.ps1: the `another bun.exe is already in PATH` check never
fired (#38567)

#### Crashes, panics, hangs

- Hang until out of memory on a dependency cycle -> `dependency cycle
cannot be laid out in node_modules`, exit 1; a bundled back-edge
installs (#38976)
- Hang: a dangling `node_modules/@scope` symlink (hoisted)
- Hang: `--concurrent-scripts=0` -> the default (#42379)
- Hang: isolated, a tarball URL that cannot be requested (`ftp://`)
(#39672)
- Hang: isolated, cold cache, a git dep that is scp-form, a peer, from
`overrides` or spelled differently in `bun.lock`; after a failed clone /
checkout (#44448, #37156, #43075)
- Panic: paths that do not fit the path buffer in both linkers' walks,
`link:` targets, long linked names, `<alias>/package.json` ->
`ENAMETOOLONG`/`Invalid dependency name` (#37424, #37400, #38369,
#38571, #38575)
- Panic: over-long `--cafile`, `--cwd`, `add --filter`;
`$BUN_INSTALL`/`$HOME` with `-g`; bunx bin names; pnpm `link:`/`file:`
paths; progress bar names (#41702, #38413, #37394, #43537, #38558)
- Abort of all package manager commands, `bun run`, `bunx` in a cwd
within 13 bytes of `PATH_MAX` -> `ENAMETOOLONG`, or the file counts as
unreadable (#42502)
- Panic: `outdated`, `update`, `update -i` on a `bun.lock` without
`packages` (#41647)
- Segfault: package.json nested ~8,400 levels; a deep YAML alias chain
in pnpm / Berry files
- Panic: all `bunx` install flags at once
- Use-after-free in `bun add --trust` and at the end of an isolated
install (#31245, #39640)
- `Bad system call` on Android / Termux (`openat2`, `fchmodat2` under
seccomp) (#39084)

#### Windows

- Bins whose shebang uses `env -S` did not run (#31391; refs #22422,
#27924, #31387)

#### Performance

User-space instructions of `bun install` (`perf stat`, median of 3,
millions), generated project of N packages, loopback registry; warm =
nothing to do, relink = cache + lockfile, no `node_modules`.

|  | main N=400 | branch N=400 | main N=1600 | branch N=1600 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hoisted warm | 22.5 | 20.3 | 146.5 | 80.1 |
| hoisted relink | 24.5 | 21.6 | 150.3 | 83.3 |
| hoisted cold | 121.0 | 122.2 | 511.2 | 474.6 |

System calls per package (`strace -c`, slope between 100 and 300
packages of 31 files). Per run: a few more `lstat` (change 8), one read
per `file:` directory dep.

|  | main | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| hoisted cold | 215.96 | 211.95 |
| hoisted relink | 72.00 | 70.00 |
| hoisted warm | 4.00 | 4.00 |

Quadratic scans in the `bun.lock` workspace parse, `yarn.lock` printer
(#34537) and Yarn v1 migration (#37244) are gone; no allocator heap per
cached package.json (#44610).

|  | main | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| `bun pm hash`, 32,000 workspaces (ms) | 6,914 | 236 |
| `bun pm migrate`, Yarn v1, 20,000 entries (ms) | 24,210 | 270 |
| peak RSS of `bun install`, 2,100 workspaces (KB) | 90,840 | 34,728 |
| hoisted, 1,000 packages x 30 files, cache, no `node_modules`, 8 cores,
wall (ms) | 381 | 120 |
| same, 4 cores | 383 | 174 |
| same, 2 cores | 222 | 162 |
| same, `node_modules` lacks half, 8 cores | 140 | 54 |
| same, 4 cores | 174 | 65 |
| same, 2 cores | 161 | 107 |
| same, no cache, no `node_modules`, 8 cores | 363 | 394 |

#### Internal, no user-visible effect

- Earlier fold of 171 PRs is the first layer; 12 of them were taken out
again (#39403)
- One implementation each: trusted set, required-dep predicate,
failed-optional discard, bin linking, package.json walk, `--cwd`, cache
publish, specifier -> version (was 4), lockfile writer, registry request
- `pack()` consumes its context; one `binding.gyp` predicate; Yarn v1
migrator 2,032 -> 888 lines, no `unsafe` (#37670, #43912, #37539,
#38303, #37865)
- Debug builds: opt-in stack dump, `node` shim directory kept, manifest
cross-check deleted (#37335, #37384, #43170)
- Binary size pass (outlined helpers, shared flag tables, index sorts):
+464 KB -> see Performance; dead auto-install disk scan removed.
`unsafe` in src/install: 585 -> 540

#### Test-only PRs

- verdaccio replaced by a registry on `Bun.serve` (on main since):
#44055
- No public network: #35035 #35377 #35384 #36717 #36718 #36721 #36889
#38185 #38467 #39022 #39655 #40087 #40538 #40956 #42800 #42802 #43289
(fixes #43286)
- Concurrent, a cache per test: #38464 #38504 #40095 #40635 #39646
#40198 #40450 #39956 #39740 #41110
- Exact output / lockfile / layout (nested-overrides, bun-add-filter,
lockfile-sync, frozen-lockfile-pruned, pm-licenses, isolated-relink):
#39648 #39746 #40452 #40454 #40456 #41118
- Flake causes removed (stdin / pty races, racing ranges, cold manifest
cache, un-awaited matchers): #34175 #41401 #41591 #38858 #39190 #38627
#37333 #33279
- Faster (streaming-extract, git-deps, npm-arborist): #35915 #40447
#40977
- New guards (`..` tarball entries, Bun's own `bun.lock` passes frozen,
hoisted layouts, what a linker verifies): #37431 #42384 #43878 #41864
- Harness (`isRoot`, peak RSS, `pm trust` CPU test on Windows): #39232
#43192 #35626 (refs #11252)

#### Taken in part (what is in. Not: what is not)

- #19637: opt-in `bunx --trust` (runs the scripts of the package and its
whole closure). Not: trust by default
- #29794: change 4. Not: removing a stale copy no lockfile placed (`bun
prune`)
- #30522: change 14. Not: signing; #15601 open (refs #18611)
- #31327: a junk integrity in a v2+ `bun.lock` is an error. Not: pinning
a computed sha512; refusing an empty integrity under frozen
- #32022: 10 helpers redone on current code, 26 of 28 pinning tests.
Not: non-install parts
- #35253: `bun create` without a git identity stages the files, says the
commit was skipped. Not: a made-up author
- #35807: `npm_config_ignore_scripts=true` turns scripts off. Not:
`false`/`0` turning them on over a config file
- #36387: false `Workspace name already exists` on a hash collision.
Not: the same for `trustedDependencies` names (one stays blocked) (refs
#36386)
- #36973: docs of the store layout as it is. Not: a stability promise
- #38001: a token survives an http -> https redirect on one hostname.
Not: another port (still stripped) (refs #15516)
- #38832: its forced-arrival-order tests, expecting one copy (#38770).
Not: its two-copies policy
- #39505: cold generics -> runtime flags in summary printer, `pack`,
lockfile read. Not: typed arrays, coverage
- #39886: an override on a peer was lost behind a same-named root `npm:`
alias. Not: a peer without an override shares the alias (`react` ->
`npm:@preact/compat`)
- #40053: features, change 15. Not: `[install.packageExtensions]` in
bunfig; `pnpm.packageExtensions` without a migration; `catalog:` values
(ignored, warning)
- #40110: warning for a `patchedDependencies` key that matches no
installed version. Not: failing frozen
- #41724: moot for tarballs (named by integrity). Not: new names for
bare git clones
- #41759: a package.json in a sticky shared directory above the cwd
(`/tmp`) is ignored, with a warning. Not: the owner rule
- #41863: `pm pkg set --json` with a value that is not JSON is an error,
nothing is written. Not: strict JSON (`0x10`, `.5` are normalised)
- #41921: Linux: a script no longer outlives a killed install. Not:
signal forwarding; macOS
- #41925: symlinked bins / `directories.bin` are neither packed nor
listed. Not: race-proof opener, Windows, a symlinked `node_modules`
- #41931: change 2. Not: failing on trusted / patched edits or
equivalent spellings (refs #22689)
- #42001: after a failed script the next install reruns it and what it
blocked. Not: change 18
- #42030: a plain install re-reads a `file:` directory's package.json.
Not: failing frozen (warns)
- #42039: change 8; `bun prune` refuses a linked `.bun`. Not: the root
link (on purpose); a package's own directory on a warm run
- #42052: `bun pm view`/`info`: no project needed, several fields, npm
paths (`maintainers[0].name`), semver-sorted `versions`, `bin:`,
`DEPRECATED`. Not: new `--json` errors (refs #20673)
- #42139: npmrc.test.ts: isolation per case, concurrent. Not: exact pins
- #42400: `pm diff` compares a folder of this project as pack publishes
it. Not: folders of other projects
- #42597: nothing of the project's `.env` reaches install's `git`. Not:
proxy / TLS variables from `.env`
- #43067: the 255-byte name bound, the install cases. Not: the repo-wide
sweep
- #43375: which package owns an override row; direct deps outside their
range. Not: transitive rows
- #43556: `bun patch` never writes into the global store. Not: a
project-local copy that installs keep
- #43581: a registry package's peer / optional edge to a workspace
missing on disk is dropped. Not: the pre-flight report
- #43793: the walker looks at link entries; the `@scope` hang. Not:
materialising symlinked cache entries; #43788 unverified
- #44058: Windows: `node` shim next to bun.exe when `%TEMP%` is on
another drive (never run). Not: a missing `%TEMP%` (warning) (refs
#44033)
- #44406: change 4. Not: a copy no loaded lockfile names
- #44488: a dep's script finds its own `.bin`, then `PATH`, then shared
`.bin`: another package's bin cannot shadow `node`/`sh`. Not: bins per
script owner
- #44641: its install test and docs hunk. Not: 13 HTTP / fetch test
files
- #44793: Windows: the launcher of a `.cmd`/`.bat` bin (any case)
refuses cmd.exe special characters. Not: `bun run <bin>.cmd`
- #44798: a `node_modules` a git dep commits is dropped unless it
bundles (then without links). Not: bundled closure only
- #44847: a workspace's `node_modules` is reset when only the root's was
deleted. Not: moving stale directories aside; a marker

#### Credits

- @Jarred-Sumner: #39403 (the earlier fold), #20067, #31245, #31416,
#33884, #37590, the design of #31447, part of #31327.
- @MarshallOfSound: #40057, #40025, #40053, #40012, #40009.
- @alii: #45052, #45051, #40423, #31481, #33279, helpers of #32022, half
of #39505, review findings in #35259 #35468 #35586 #38047.
- @dylan-conway: #19637 (opt-in), the order-dependent shapes of #36476
(tests here), the off-by-one fixes of #33113, the objection behind
#37138.
- @nikelborm: #41291.

### How did you verify your code works?

- Suite (offline, root): main's tests on main 146 files, 9,099 pass, 306
fail; this branch 174 files, 16,067 pass, 42 fail; 6,277 passing tests
are new, 268 that fail on main pass. Of the 42, 40 fail on main too; 1
needs Docker, 1 test deps.
- Absorbed = a test here covers the claim, passes here, fails on main.
Exceptions: test-only PRs, guards, performance PRs (measured); by
reading only: #39640 #37335 (no test possible), #34175 (Docker), #38858
#39190 #41401 #41591 (flakes), #40447 #39740, the refactors.
- Randomized differential: 600 generated projects (every dep kind, both
linkers, both lockfile formats) through installs, edits, prune, patch,
damage, kills; all output compared. First install succeeds: 545 -> 559.
Projects that violate an invariant:

|  | main | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| repeated install rewrites files | 265 | 10 |
| repeated install reports work | 101 | 2 |
| repeated install changes the tree | 22 | 3 |
| lockfile depends on manifest arrival order | 57 | 0 |
| exit code depends on the linker | 20 | 0 |
| writes outside the project | 21 | 0 |
| declared dep cannot be resolved | 13 | 1 |
| dep resolves to a wrong version | 4 | 0 |
| frozen / relink / cold cache fails on its own lockfile | 7 | 0 |
| package.json rewritten with the same bytes | 7 | 0 |
| crash or hang | 3 | 0 |
| dangling symlink | 2 | 0 |
| bin not executable | 2 | 2 |
| leftovers in the temp directory | 230 | 1 |
| tree or exit code after kill + reinstall differs (timing) | 3 | 4 |

- Credentials: 805 requests with main, this branch, npm 11.17.0: 534 as
main; 170 wider (npm too in 140, 30 deliberate); 82 narrower; 19 another
credential. 142 non-http(s) registry URLs x 16 routes: no request (main:
66).
- Secrets: a secret in every input of 698 projects x 6,490 commands, not
masked: data asked for on stdout, source excerpts under a diagnostic,
echoed arguments.
- Lockfiles: 90,000 mutated `bun.lockb` x 7 commands: no crash or hang.
- Version picking: npm-pick-manifest 11.0.3 over 200,000 generated
pairs: differs only for a dangling written `latest` and `^1.0.0-a.0`.
- Debug + ASAN: 9 files (1,253 tests); 200 rounds of #31245's race. Two
installs at once, 252 packages: tree right in 150 of 150 rounds, 2 of
300 exit 1 (main: 35 of 40 wrong, 69 of 80).
- Hoisted thread pool vs main thread, one binary: 704 generated
projects, 8,800 fuzz cases, CPU starvation x 4 backends, 432 injected
I/O errors, thread and fd limits, script order: equal.

Not verified:
- Windows, macOS: CI only. Android (#39084): a seccomp filter on Linux,
no device.
- By script, no test: `--trust` with an alias, an aborted upgrade leaves
no holes, two installs at once. overlayfs: a simulated `EXDEV`.
- Known limits: change 19.
