What changed and why

collectBunPaths kept expanding a package's children even after that package already held MAX_PATHS_PER_PACKAGE paths and the current path was not one of them. Nothing below such a path can ever be recorded, so on wide graphs the walk did exponential work for no output change.

  • bun-lock.ts: each lockfile key expands at most MAX_PATHS_PER_PACKAGE times. The cap is per key, not per name@version, because two nested copies of one version can have different children. visitedStates already makes every arrival a distinct path, so a counter is enough.
  • pathsEqual moves to utils/array.ts, next to uniquePathArrays, and replaces the private copies in the pnpm and yarn parsers and in utils/path-coverage.ts, so there is one definition.
  • New regression test in tests/parsers/bun-lock.test.ts: a 9-layer × 5-wide fully connected bun.lock. It asserts all 45 packages load, the deepest package still records 5 paths, and parsing finishes under 1 s. Before the fix this case took about 4.8 s; after, a few ms. A second test covers two nested copies of the same version, where only the later copy leads to a nested child; that child keeps its real path.

Recorded paths are unchanged: the existing Bun path and dev/prod tests pass as-is.

Verification: npm run lint:tests, npm run build, node scripts/typecheck-changed-tests.mjs upstream/main (changed test file clean), npm test (232 suites, 3574 passed, 1 skipped).

Closes #1635

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved dependency-path collection for large Bun lockfiles, keeping parsing responsive when graphs contain many layers and branches.
    • Preserved paths from nested copies of the same package when another copy reaches its path limit, improving reported relationships to downstream packages.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for large Bun dependency graphs, nested package paths, and bounded parsing time.

Bun lockfile parsing now limits path expansion per package key. The pnpm, Yarn, and path-coverage modules use one shared path comparison function.

Changes: Bun path traversal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Limit Bun path traversal
src/parsers/bun-lock.ts, tests/parsers/bun-lock.test.ts
collectBunPaths limits expansions per package key. Tests cover a wide graph, a five-path leaf limit, parsing time, and a path contributed by a later reachable copy.

Shared path comparison

Layer / File(s) Summary
Share path comparison
src/utils/array.ts, src/parsers/pnpm-lock.ts, src/parsers/yarn-lock.ts, src/utils/path-coverage.ts
pathsEqual is exported from src/utils/array.ts. The pnpm, Yarn, and path-coverage modules import it instead of defining local versions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Refactor · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 2d988

Bun lockfile parsing now does bounded work on wide, deep dependency graphs while keeping the same reported paths. The shared path comparison helper replaces three local copies. I found no concrete merge-blocking risk.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title follows the required "type: short description" form with the allowed type "perf", lowercase after the colon, and no trailing period. It clearly names the main change: Bun path expansion now stops past the per-package cap. The scope "(parsers)" and issue number are extra context and do not break the format.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has the "What changed and why" section with a clear explanation of the cap change, the shared pathsEqual move, and the new regression tests. It ends with "Closes #1635", which fills the template's issue line. Verification steps are also listed, so the description is complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Requirements from [#1635]: add a per-package expansion cap to collectBunPaths, share pathsEqual, add wide/deep regression coverage, and keep parser output unchanged. The whole-PR diff of src/parsers/bun-lock.ts at the reviewed head adds an expansions Map keyed by current.key. After the MAX_PATH_DEPTH check, the walker skips expansion once a key has reached MAX_PATHS_PER_PACKAGE. This meets the cost requirement. The issue suggests a pnpm-style guard that also allows expansion when the current path is already recorded. The PR uses a per-key counter instead. This is an acceptable variant. visitedStates already dedupes identical full paths, so each dequeued arrival at a key is a distinct path, and the counter caps distinct arrivals at the same limit the recorder uses. Recorded output therefore keeps the first five paths per key. The per-key counter also keeps distinct nested copies of one version independent, as the PR description states. [#1635] asks for a shared pathsEqual helper. The PR description and AI change summary report it moved to utils/array.ts and replaced the pnpm, yarn, and path-coverage copies. I did not read those hunks in this pass. The regression tests are reported in tests/parsers/bun-lock.test.ts (45-package 9x5 graph, five paths on the leaf, time budget, and a nested-copy test). I did not rerun the tests. Test results rest on the reported verification. [#422] is background only. SBOM graph code in bun-lock-graph.ts is not changed, as the issue expects. Non-coding items, such as the issue's note on real-world measurement, do not apply.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The bun-lock.ts hunk adds only the per-key expansion cap and its comment, which implements [#1635]. The pnpm-lock.ts, yarn-lock.ts, and utils/path-coverage.ts changes, as summarized, remove private pathsEqual copies and import the shared helper. This supports the shared-helper requirement in [#1635]. The utils/array.ts change adds the shared helper. The test file changes add the regression tests requested in [#1635]. I found no unrelated behaviour change in the inspected hunk. The non-inspected hunks are supported by the change summaries and were not read line by line in this pass.

Full details: Linked Issue

Explanation

I checked the pull request description. It ends with "Closes #1635". That is one of the keywords the check accepts (Closes, Fixes, Resolves, or Refs), followed by an issue number. The linked issue is #1635, which the provider data also identifies as the directly linked issue. The check passes. I did not run repository tools. The check only asks whether the PR body references an issue, and the description text answers that directly.

Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope

Explanation

I checked the PR body. It uses "Closes #1635", so the check applies. I read issue #1635 and compared each item it asks for with the diff. Items the issue asks for: 1. Per-package expansion cap in collectBunPaths. Delivered. src/parsers/bun-lock.ts adds an expansions map. Each key expands at most MAX_PATHS_PER_PACKAGE times (lines 91-94). The cap is per lockfile key, not per name@version. The PR body explains this choice: nested copies of one version can have different children. The issue's own text calls for a per-package cap that matches pnpm and Yarn. The "unless the current path is already recorded" exemption from the issue is not coded. It is not needed here. visitedStates (lines 81-83) already stops any repeat arrival of the same path, so a recorded path cannot arrive again. 2. Wide/deep regression test under a time budget. Delivered. tests/parsers/bun-lock.test.ts adds a 9-layer by 5-wide case. It asserts 45 packages, 5 recorded paths on the deepest package, and under 1000 ms. 3. Recorded paths unchanged on existing Bun fixtures. Delivered on the evidence available. The PR body states the existing Bun path and dev/prod tests pass unchanged. A commenter reported byte-identical parser and --json output on Bun fixtures. The PR also adds a second test for two nested copies of one version. 4. Shared pathsEqual helper. The issue suggests exporting it from parsers/utils.ts. The PR puts it in src/utils/array.ts and removes the private copies in the pnpm, Yarn, and path-coverage code. This is a placement choice. The outcome the issue describes is met. Not counted as missing: - The narrow-waist test (a reviewer request) is not an item in the issue. The author deferred it to a follow-up PR. This is a test gap, not a scope gap in the issue. Every item the issue requests is delivered. Merging will not auto-close the issue with work still unbuilt.

Full details: No New Runtime Dependency

Explanation

I checked this PR's changed-file list against the review range. It touches six files: src/parsers/bun-lock.ts, src/parsers/pnpm-lock.ts, src/parsers/yarn-lock.ts, src/utils/array.ts, src/utils/path-coverage.ts, and tests/parsers/bun-lock.test.ts. package.json is not in the list, and package-lock.json is not in it either. I also read package.json at both the base and the head ref. The "dependencies" and "optionalDependencies" sections are identical in both. "dependencies" holds better-sqlite3, fflate, semver, yaml, and yarn-lockfile. "optionalDependencies" is empty. No package moved from devDependencies into dependencies. The new pathsEqual helper in src/utils/array.ts is a code-level change. It adds no package. No new runtime dependency is introduced, so the check passes. Note: the PR author is prx-my, as reported by the provider. That fact does not affect this check.

- Around line 91-92: Update the expansion-limit check in the Bun lockfile
traversal to track expansions per `current.key`, rather than using the merged
package’s `pkg.paths` count to decide whether to skip `graph.get(current.key)`.
Keep `pkg.paths` capped at five recorded paths while allowing each distinct
lockfile key to expand within its own limit.

…SP#1635)

Once a package holds MAX_PATHS_PER_PACKAGE paths and the current path is
not one of them, nothing below it can be recorded, so the walk stops there.
This matches the existing pnpm and yarn guards and keeps output identical.
pathsEqual moves to parsers/utils so the three parsers share it.

Closes OWASP#1635
path-coverage held a fourth copy. The helper now sits next to
uniquePathArrays, which the parsers already import, so utils/ does not
reach into parsers/.
The guard counted paths on the merged name@version, so once one nested
copy of a version filled the quota, a second copy with different children
was never expanded and those children fell back to direct-dependency paths.
Count expansions per key instead; visitedStates already makes each arrival
a distinct path.

Nice one @prx-my. Keying the counter on the lockfile key rather than name@version is the right call, and the second test pins exactly the case CodeRabbit raised. I ran main and this branch side by side on every Bun fixture we have: the parser output and the full --json scan come out byte-identical, cline included, and the cline parse drops from about 100 ms to about 23 ms. Thanks for folding the three pathsEqual copies into one as well.

One small thing you can take or leave: if I change the cap to stop after a single expansion, the suite still passes even though cline's paths change, because in the fully connected graph the leaf still collects 5 paths through 5 different parents. A narrow-waist case would catch it, something like five root deps all depending on one package b, which depends on c, asserting c ends up with 5 paths. Happy to merge without it if you'd rather follow up.

Approved. I merge these one at a time, so it will land shortly.

Hmmm firstly , Thankss @sonukapoor. Happy for this to merge as is. I’ll follow up with the narrow-waist test (five root deps → b → c, asserting c keeps 5 paths) in a separate PR, and check that it fails when the cap is cut to a single expansion
