@kikobeats/cacheable-request@7.0.6 publishes only src/index.js and rebuilds src/clone-response.js on every consumer machine through a postinstall that pipes into esbuild. Under pnpm 12 that script runs before esbuild is linked, so the install dies:

.../@kikobeats/cacheable-request postinstall: Failed
Error: ERR_PNPM_EXECUTOR_LIFECYCLE_SCRIPT_FAILED
  × installing dependencies
  ╰─▶ @kikobeats/cacheable-request@7.0.6 postinstall: `[ -f src/clone-response.js ] || echo ... | esbuild ...` exited with exit status: 1

That is what breaks CI in reachable-url#82 and get-content-length#25, which reach this package through the cacheable-request override.

Changes

  • The bundle is built at pack time (prepack) and shipped in files, so installing runs no scripts at all.
  • esbuild moves from dependencies to devDependencies; it is a build tool, not a runtime dependency.
  • pretest builds the bundle so the suite still runs from a clean checkout.
  • .gitignore now ignores src/clone-response.js (the old pattern src/clone-response never matched the generated file).
  • Version 7.0.7, plus a release job that publishes, tags and creates the GitHub release when the version in package.json is not on npm yet. It needs an NPM_TOKEN secret with publish access to the @kikobeats scope.

Testing

  • pnpm test: 3 suites, 59 passed, coverage 99.4% of statements.
  • npm pack --dry-run now lists both src/index.js and src/clone-response.js (5 files total); on 7.0.6 the tarball has 4 and no bundle.
  • Installing the packed 7.0.7 tarball with pnpm runs no lifecycle script.

Note

Medium Risk
Automated npm publishing and changed install/pack behavior affect every downstream consumer; misconfigured secrets or version checks could publish or tag incorrectly.

Overview
Fixes pnpm installs by building src/clone-response.js at pack/test time (prepack / pretest) and including it in published files, instead of generating it in a consumer postinstall that could run before esbuild is available. esbuild is treated as a dev-only build tool, and the generated bundle is gitignored.

The package version is bumped to 7.0.7.

CI drops the global pnpm_config_dangerously_allow_all_builds env var, sets explicit workflow/job permissions (read for tests, write for release), and adds a release job on pushes to master that, after tests pass, idempotently publishes to npm (when the version is missing), pushes v* tags, and creates GitHub releases using NPM_TOKEN and github.token.

A new pnpm-workspace.yaml whitelists native/build scripts (esbuild, @parcel/watcher, unrs-resolver) under pnpm’s stricter install defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Release

    • Published version 7.0.7.
    • Improved release handling so missing package, tag, or release records can be completed independently during subsequent release runs.
  • Build and Packaging

    • Updated package build permissions to support required native and executable build steps.
    • Tightened automated workflow access controls and release publishing permissions for safer package releases.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The package version is updated to 7.0.7. pnpm build permissions and workflow permission boundaries are defined. A push-only release job independently reconciles npm publication, the version tag, and the GitHub release.

Changes

Package release

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package build and release metadata
package.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml
The package version changes to 7.0.7. pnpm build scripts are enabled for @parcel/watcher, esbuild, and unrs-resolver.
Workflow permission boundaries
.github/workflows/pull_request.yml
The workflow uses empty default permissions, read-only contents access for tests, and write access for releases. The release job configures npm and uses non-persistent checkout credentials.
Independent release artifact reconciliation
.github/workflows/pull_request.yml
The release job checks npm publication, the version tag, and the GitHub release independently. It publishes and creates only missing artifacts.

Superseded by the slimmer packaging-only PR: #4

Kikobeats and others added 2 commits September 17, 2026 10:07
The published tarball only carried src/index.js, so every consumer rebuilt
src/clone-response.js through a postinstall that shells out to esbuild. Under
pnpm 12 that script runs before esbuild is linked and the install fails:

  @kikobeats/cacheable-request@7.0.6 postinstall: ... exited with exit status: 1

The bundle is now built at pack time and published with the package, esbuild
moves to devDependencies, and there is no install-time script at all. A release
job publishes when the version in package.json is not on npm yet.

Do not persist the write token through install. Recreate a missing
tag or GitHub release even if npm already has the version. Allow
only the three dependency build scripts CI needs.
