[Jarred-Sumner]

Folds the open bun install / bun pm / pack+publish PRs from Aug 12–17 into one branch so they can be reviewed and landed together. Each original PR is one squashed commit here (<title> (#N)), in dependency order, so git log/git blame attribute every hunk to its PR; conflict resolutions between overlapping PRs live in the later PR's commit. Cross-PR API reconciliation is in the mega-merge fixup: commits at the end, so the per-PR commits after #38804 (e2cf8c4305) do not build on their own until 0adcafaf8b — bisect across the fold with --first-parent on the fixups, not inside it.

171 PRs folded, 3 excluded (see below); #38557 was re-ported by hand onto the newer audit_command.rs. A simplification pass then roughly halved the net src/ addition (see below). cargo check --workspace and cargo clippy --workspace are clean, the debug build links, and all 94 test/cli/install/** files pass locally on Linux (debug+ASAN); see Verification.

Not folded

PR	Why
#37925	semantic conflict with #39002 (which needs optional peers bound at load); #39002 is newer and explicitly calls this out
#38777	security screen: make_executable() follows an absolute bin-target symlink out of a file:/link: package and chmods the real file (CVE-2019-16775 class) when the folder dep resolves to an ancestor dir; needs rework before merging
#38810	dropped on request: installing a git dependency's devDependencies before prepare is rarely needed and runs a nested install (fetching and, via prepare, executing third-party devDependencies chosen by the git repo) outside the project's bunfig protections — too much attack surface for the benefit

Security screen

Every folded diff was reviewed for regressions (path traversal, credential leakage, TLS/integrity weakening, lifecycle-script trust widening, terminal injection, new unsafe on untrusted input). One PR was dropped for it (#38777 above) and one more on review (#38810). Items a reviewer may still want to eyeball — none were judged exploitable regressions:

• bunx: serialize concurrent installs into the shared cache dir with a file lock #37851 (concern, low): bunx serialises concurrent installs into the shared /bunx-- dir with an flock on /.bunx-lock; the lock file is opened by path with O_CREAT|O_RDWR and without O_NOFOLLOW, adding a small symlink-following primitive inside the pre-existing TOCTOU window of the cache-dir trust check.
• install: stamp lockfileVersion 1 on new bun.lock files #38741 (concern, low): New bun.lock files are stamped lockfileVersion 1 instead of 2, so the two v2-only parse-time fail-closed checks (off-registry npm tarball URL without a supported integrity hash; unsafe git .bun-tag) no longer apply to any lockfile created after this lands. The reduction is defence-in-depth only: the checks are keyed on a digit the lockfile tamperer also controls, main already stamps v1 whenever bun's own output would trip them, a tamperer can supply a matching integrity for their own tarball anyway, and the git tag is re-validated at checkout/extract time (repository.rs:923, extract_tarball.rs:484; github tags stay checked at every version).
• install: fix default-trusted lifecycle scripts being blocked after yarn.lock migration #38795 (concern, low): Default-trusted check now ignores the URL fragment; the claim that this is exactly as strict as before is slightly off because bun_url lets a ? after # leak the fragment into the request path, though no attacker-chosen tarball results.
• install: resolve .npmrc //host/ credentials by request URL #38800 (concern, low): .npmrc //host/path/ credentials are now resolved by request URL (npm nerf-dart semantics): scopes without credentials pick them up by registry URL, and tarballs on a host other than the registry get that host's own .npmrc credentials. Scope credentials still never leave the scope origin, but the by-URL match is scheme-agnostic and path-unnormalized, which slightly widens where a registry-controlled dist.tarball can make bun present a token.
• install: migrate a package's own file: directories from package-lock.json relative to the package #38990 (concern, low): package-lock file: targets inside a registry/tarball/git package are now migrated as package-relative folder rows without normalising the sub-path, so a hand-edited key with .. is no longer skipped at migration time and containment relies on the installer (hoisted linker checks it, with an overrides-name exemption; isolated linker does not).
• install: don't issue openat2/fchmodat2 on Android (seccomp SIGSYS) #39084 (concern, low): Skips openat2/fchmodat2 on Android (kernel release contains 'android' OR both ANDROID_ROOT and ANDROID_DATA env vars set); symlink-safety semantics are preserved by the fallbacks, but the env-var trigger lets any environment downgrade RESOLVE_BENEATH/RESOLVE_IN_ROOT hardening on ordinary Linux.

Product-behaviour changes that need a maintainer decision before this lands: #38741 (new bun.lock files are stamped lockfileVersion: 1 again — its own PR defers this to a maintainer, and it obsoletes the open #36464; the sibling snapshots are already re-stamped inside the fold, so pulling it back out is one revert + fixlv), #38797 (libc filtering needs the full registry document for every optional dependency on every OS, since npm's abbreviated document omits libc; measured: @esbuild/linux-x64 43 KB → 54 KB gzipped, @rollup/rollup-linux-x64-gnu 40 KB → 58 KB, one-time per package per manifest cache, in exchange for not downloading the other libc's multi-MB tarballs on Linux and a host-independent lockfile), #38804 (a migrated lockfile and its package.json edits are only written when the command saves a lockfile), #38923 (bun pm ls lists what is installed and exits 1 without node_modules), #38813 (pack/publish resolve workspace:/catalog: from package.json files, not bun.lock).

Simplification pass (after folding)

The PRs were written independently, so the folded diff carried duplicate helpers and a lot of narrative comments. A follow-up pass (the simplify(...) commits) cut the src/ diff against main from +12,081 / −6,723 (net +5,358) to +10,284 / −7,559 (net +2,725) with no behaviour change intended and the full test/cli/install/** suite green before and after. Main items:

• One Lockfile::packages_named / package_satisfying / patched_package_satisfying replaces nine "package_index → first candidate whose resolution satisfies a range and a predicate" helpers spread over lockfile.rs, bun.lock.rs, PackageManagerEnqueue.rs, update_transitive.rs and prune.rs.
• update_transitive.rs (Hold a transitive update that would re-fork a deduped package #38919/install: keep one copy of a package when one version satisfies every range #38770) no longer re-implements the resolver's rules: it calls keep_locked_if_ahead, is_named_update_row (split out of should_update) and dedupe::applied_override directly, and its Plan/Planned/InstanceEdges/KeepLocked scaffolding is gone; reachability uses lockfile::reachable.
• One checked NUL-terminated join (resolve_path::join_abs_string_buf_z_checked) and one spill helper replace bin.rs::join_z_checked, PackageManager::join_path_z, and pack's normalize_buf_spill; the bunx install lock (bunx: serialize concurrent installs into the shared cache dir with a file lock #37851) is a single InstallLock RAII type.
• Isolated linker: one append_store_path_at(buf, entry, Which) family; PackageInstall::destination_dir_subpath_buf and the DestinationSubpath guard removed in favour of join_z_spill; staging installs re-target a PackageInstall instead of threading dest_subpath through every backend; remove_link shared.
• yarn.rs: one dependency-section table instead of four loops, git URL parsing folded into Entry::set_git_source, root/workspace package.json parsing shared; pnpm.rs: one merge-based copy_into_root, one workspaces object path; finish_migration builds the one error shape.
• Options/registry: RegistryPath, set_scope_registry and the second credential lookup removed in favour of scope_for_package_name + UrlAuth::find; fmt::for_terminal(x) = EscapeControlChars(Redacted(x)) at every call site; MinimumReleaseAgeExcludes is one list.
• Multi-line justification comments added by the PRs trimmed to one line or removed throughout (SAFETY lines kept).

Two small behaviour fixes fell out of the review agents' cross-checks and are their own commits: bun audit fix now rewrites a matching rule in resolutions as well as overrides (the parser reads both since #38811), and a failed root package.json write says failed to write package.json: <errno> instead of for workspace ''.

Conflict resolutions that changed a PR's code (not just context)

• install: resolve deferred * peers after their siblings, not on arrival order #37713 × install: resolve a range onto an existing version only when every install has it #38832: kept install: resolve deferred * peers after their siblings, not on arrival order #37713's rule that a deferred peer never range-matches on sight (no * exemption); install: resolve a range onto an existing version only when every install has it #38832's AppendedFor/settled_package_count model replaces the exact_pinned guard, with install: keep one copy of a package when one version satisfies every range #38770's direct-dependency clause folded into the reusable predicate.
• install: rebind ranged peers whose target the saved tree drops #38768 × install: keep a peer nothing in bun.lock satisfies where the file records it #38892: resolve_peer_dep_version_based_among keeps install: rebind ranged peers whose target the saved tree drops #38768's candidate filter but drops the highest-candidate fallback install: keep a peer nothing in bun.lock satisfies where the file records it #38892 removed.
• install: bind peer edges in the hoister, the way loading bun.lock binds them #38767/install: keep the packages bun.lock holds only through optional peers when an install re-resolves #39002 vs install: let the hoister bind optional peers when loading bun.lock #37925: install: let the hoister bind optional peers when loading bun.lock #37925 excluded (see above).
• install: keep bundleDependencies from every dependency group when parsing a registry manifest #38857 vs main's collect_bundled_deps refactor: took install: keep bundleDependencies from every dependency group when parsing a registry manifest #38857's per-version bundled_dependencies list.
• install: migrate workspace packages from yarn.lock #38878 (yarn migrator rewrite) absorbed install: bind peer edges in the hoister, the way loading bun.lock binds them #38767's yarn index change; install: fix yarn.lock migration panic on tarball URLs with "/-/" right after the host #38803/install: name yarn.lock npm: alias packages after the alias spec, not the tarball URL #38948/install: migrate yarn.lock registry entries that have no resolved field #38985/install: skip yarn.lock entries the migration cannot build a resolution for #39001 re-applied onto the rewritten migrator (install: skip yarn.lock entries the migration cannot build a resolution for #39001's id remap now runs right after the append loop).
• install: import pnpm-workspace.yaml even without a migratable pnpm-lock.yaml #38754/install: keep the pnpm block in package.json when migrating from pnpm #38775/install: migrate pnpm onlyBuiltDependencies and report blocked scripts under the isolated linker #38780/install: write a migrated lockfile and its package.json edits only when the command saves a lockfile #38804 in pnpm.rs: one update_package_json_after_migration(lockfile: Option<&mut Lockfile>, …); everything is reported as “copied … in package.json” (pnpm keeps reading its own block), the write is deferred to lockfile save (install: write a migrated lockfile and its package.json edits only when the command saves a lockfile #38804), and bun pm migrate on a read-only package.json reports the failed write but keeps the migrated bun.lock (install: only open package.json for writing in the commands that rewrite it #38745's intent).
• publish: honor publishConfig.registry and publishConfig["@scope:registry"] #38322 re-based onto install: resolve .npmrc //host/ credentials by request URL #38800's url_auth model instead of adding a second .npmrc credential table; --registry goes through the same set_default_registry path unless the URL itself carries credentials (install: send credentials embedded in a registry URL that comes from an env var #38834).
• install: escape control characters in resolutions, specifiers, bin names and registry error text #38631/install: redact credentials in tarball and git URLs printed as resolutions and specifiers #38977 at shared print sites resolve to EscapeControlChars(redacted(…)) (redact inside, escape outside); one EscapeControlChars implementation (the multiline-capable one from pm view: escape control characters coming from the registry #38536) is kept.
• install: fail the isolated install with ENAMETOOLONG when a link: target does not fit the path buffer #38369 on top of the refactored isolated linker: symlink_dependencies returns Result<bool, TaskError> so LinkPathTooLong still names the package.
• auto-install: report why a root dependency could not be resolved #38180: fail_fn removed as in the PR; the invalid-name path from install: reject dependency names containing control characters #38615 now logs like the other root-resolution errors.
• install: fail the isolated install when a link: dependency's target is missing #38045 × install: fail the isolated install with ENAMETOOLONG when a link: target does not fit the path buffer #38369 (isolated linker): symlink entries build their target through append_dependency_path, which now joins with the ..-normalising checked join, so a link:/file: target that only overflows once joined reports LinkPathTooLong instead of hitting the "packages have no store path" unreachable.
• install: migrate pnpm onlyBuiltDependencies and report blocked scripts under the isolated linker #38780 × install: link packages into a staging directory and rename them into place #38783: count_blocked_scripts reads lifecycle scripts from the final node_modules location for local (non-global-store) entries.
• install: keep one copy of a package when one version satisfies every range #38770 × Hold a transitive update that would re-fork a deduped package #38919: bun update no longer treats a workspace member that was removed from workspaces as a direct-dependency owner, so its former deps can move.
• install: stop panicking on bin values longer than the path buffer #38954 × test(install): run bun-install-registry.test.ts concurrently and tighten its assertions #38504: the long-bin-value tests set up their own directory per test (the file now runs under describe.concurrent).
• install: import pnpm-workspace.yaml even without a migratable pnpm-lock.yaml #38754 × install: write a migrated lockfile and its package.json edits only when the command saves a lockfile #38804: with the migrated package.json written at flush time, a read-only package.json fails the install with failed to write package.json: EACCES after the lockfile is saved (test updated).
• test(install): keep bun-update-security-provider on the dummy registry, assert the update, run concurrently #38185: bun update moo keeps a >=0.1.0 literal that still covers the new version (main's behaviour); the test asserted ^0.2.0.
• http: report a refused HTTP client thread as an error instead of a crash #38766: the pthread_create LD_PRELOAD shim cannot interpose on ASAN builds (the executable's own interceptor wins), so that file skips under ASAN like it already does on musl.
• test(install): run bun-install-registry.test.ts concurrently and tighten its assertions #38504: tests other PRs added to bun-install-registry.test.ts against the old shared packageDir now call setupTest().

Verification

• cargo check --workspace
• cargo clippy --workspace --no-deps
• debug build (Linux x64, ASAN)
• test/cli/install/**, test/cli/run/**, test/regression/issue/*install* locally with the debug build. Remaining local-only failures are environmental and reproduce on main in this sandbox: bun-pm.test.ts read-only package.json cases (run as root; nobody cannot exec a binary under /root), thread-spawn-failure (LD_PRELOAD shim vs ASAN).
• CI (first run on the pre-simplification head: 3 failing files, all addressed above — thread-spawn shim under ASAN, pnpm read-only package.json wording, update-security-provider range)

@Jarred-Sumner Status on #37150 and its stacked follow-up #37283:

Both predate the Aug 12 cutoff, but overlap substantially with this branch. #37283 currently has 8 conflict hunks against claude/install-mega.

Their core behavior is not covered by the fold:

• bunx: resolve colliding bins from the selected package #37150 fixes bunx selecting the wrong executable when multiple packages expose the same bin name by resolving the executable from the selected package itself. For example, bunx typescript vs. bunx typescript7 when typescript7 is an npm alias declared in package.json.
• bunx: support anonymous URL packages #37283 builds on that package-owned resolution to support anonymous URL packages such as bunx https://pkg.pr.new/x/y, fixing bun x throws error: unrecognised dependency format #3675.

Several folded PRs overlap with parts of the implementation: #39096 (directories.bin), #38972 (native-binlink retry state), #38797 (libc-aware native-binlink selection), and #37851 (bunx cache/install locking). Those are straightforward to account for in a rebase once the relevant changes have settled.

I’d prefer #37150 and #37283 to remain their existing stack and land separately before the mega branch, rather than folding their remaining behavior into it. That preserves the reviewable boundary between the package-selection fix and the anonymous-URL follow-up.

Also related, but not mine: #36827 (@robobun) is a small case-insensitive .exe invocation-name fix for bunx / node. That one may make more sense to absorb here.
